Boutique Hostels Guide on The Guardian

"The world's best boutique hostels"

Hostels are going upmarket, and we've handpicked a selection of the best; from converted monasteries to flashpacker pads with rooms that wouldn't look out of place in a boutique hotel.

From a quick scan of the list it looks like they all have dorm rooms (in addition to private rooms).

"The hostel must have dorm rooms and private doubles."

I like it! It's good publicity for hostels, and they're all hostels.
I hope they make one for backpackers hostels too ;)
