I'm a massive fan of hostelworld.com as its quick & simply to use. You can book for yourself or for groups and has never let me down!!!! It was so easy that i stopped using any other website. You can also buy a years membership (only 5 pounds) which means you dont pay any booking fees, when moving from hostel to hostel for several weeks on end this saves heaps. Also you have a range of accommodations to choose from, camping, hostels to hotels! The most useful thing about it was the reviews, you could read up on comments left behind from previous guests so you aint walking in blind!! Its hugely popular in europe, almost everyone i met had used or heard of it. Yip im a fan, and next time i embark on a random adventure i'll be surfing hostelworld.com first. Hope that helps :) Hi

I do worry that they might not of updated the availablity with small properties though so would be tempted to confirm it is actually available.
