"Tied with the Flying Pig as my favorite hostel in Europe, Kabul attracts travelers who want a good time and is not a quiet place to go to bed: the lively common room occupies a whole floor with a café, bar, tables, internet kiosks, and a pool table where people eat, play, drink, and hang out, and the dorms are very clean with comfy beds and good-pressure showers. It’s easy for a solo traveler to meet people here, they organize lots of activities, and it books out weeks in advance during summer." - Matthew Kepnes
