Hostal Kabul in the Placa Reial is the epitome of European backpacking on a budget, the kind of place we all imagine before crossing the Atlantic that first time, with a big communal room full of long tables, a pool table, some video games, Internet portals – plus lots of energetic kids buying 1 Euro cans of beer from the machine and waiting for the pub crawl to start. Unfortunately, the place has been mentioned by guidebooks in at least 10 different languages and as a result fills up fast during the high season. The multi-person bunk rooms are in the back and were quite smelly three years ago. Since then, they’ve cleaned things up a bit and begun a slow overhaul of the place. But it is still the same place, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Kabul is all about having a good time and meeting new people - sleeping is the last priority here. The staff organizes pub crawls twice a week during the high season, which cost 15 Euro and begin on the roof overlooking the city, with all the beer you can handle before you’re led off to chase cheap shots and the opposite sex. Even if you don’t stay here, feel free to stop by. Plenty of people do. Maybe they’ll have the 2 Euro jars of sangria.
