Beds for 5cents - HostelBookers Birthday Giveaway

    LONDON, ENGLAND, May 28, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- This discounted hostel holiday will be offered at five popular European destinations for travel between 6 and 10 July 2009, with the beds becoming available next week from 1 to 5 June.

50 beds will go on sale at the 5cents rate every day during this week at 2pm GMT, with a total of 250 beds at beach hostels in the Mediterranean on offer overall. There are no hidden costs or strings attached - travellers really will pay just 5 cents a night for their bed.

From the bustling city beaches of Barcelona and Valencia to the glitzy resort of Alghero, the discos of Corfu and laid-back Santorini, there's a diverse range of great beach holidays available for this tiny price.

The five hostels participating in the birthday offer are Centric Point in Barcelona, Purple Nest in Valencia, Sunrock Backpackers Hostel in Corfu, Hostel D'Alguer in Alghero and Santorini Hostel in Santorini.

David Smith, Chief Operating Officer of HostelBookers, said, "We've had a phenomenal five years at HostelBookers, and experienced unprecedented growth. This is the first time we have run a promotion on this scale but our anniversary felt like the perfect time - it's a way to say thank you to all our customers, and give a little something back, after all their help over the years."

HostelBookers is also running a competition as part of the birthday celebrations - they'll be giving away 20 'presents' to customers, including GBP500 in cash, an ASUS 701SD Travel Laptop and a Canon Ixus 85 Digital Camera.
