This site claims to show the World's Best Hostels. It does indeed select some good ones at the tops of its lists, but it claims to have 24000, which is not exactly "the best"! If you choose Europe, it first asks you to choose a country from a list headed: "Selected Best Countries" !!!
It works like a variant of Hostelworld, and although the appearance is different, on closer inspection it does indeed use Hostelworld for its bookings, with the same charge system. So its list is presumably that of Hostelworld, including a good mix of hotels, apartments etc in with the hostels. For Blackpool, for example, it lists 24 properties, none of which are hostels (there are no hostels in Blackpool).
It has numerous faults, implying it's not quite ready for launch. The maps often give a totally wrong area, eg Lake District gives you somewhere in Asia! For London it lists 24 properties down to "Blue...." and won't show any more. It keeps resetting the date to 'tomorrow'.
