No matter where you’re from or where you’re going, every woman enjoys a bit of pampering and special treatment from time to time, so why not while travelling the world?
Here we reveals five hostels that boast anything from herbal steam baths and cocktail making lessons to the simplest of touches like dressing tables, nail polish and tea delivered directly to you in bed.
