Pristina
Pristina's cheapest hostel is on the 4th floor of a residential building right in the heart of town. Cobbled together from two apartments that have been joined and converted, it all looks a bit grubby from the outside, but in fact this great space has a large communal kitchen, balconies and smart rooms with clean bathrooms.
It's well set up for backpackers and run by an extremely friendly local crew.
