hostels in or near monte carlo?

[Tripping Daisy]

hey guys, i've been looking around online for hours, and i just can't seem to find a hostel anywhere near monte carlo, monaco. even the ones nearby in cannes or nice all seem to just have private rooms. does anyone know of any hostels they can recommend for the area? thanks in advance

Last summer I had the good fortune of visiting the area and I ran into the same problem. I couldn't fina anything I liked in Monaco, so I went with plan B, which was to stay in Nice and commute in to Monaco when needed. The train ride was about 15-20min and the cost was not too bad. I ended up staying at Chez Patrick and I liked the place very much (for my review of the hostel go here). I guess that would be my advice if you don't mind the travel time, especially that this hostel is really close to the train station and Monaco really isn't that big and walking is a requirement for sightseeing either way.

Hope that helps.

Sorry to have to point away from the Travelpunk booking option, but I did find this link: http://www.eurotrip.com/hostels/france_south_coast.html

Good luck and let us know what you find.

if you look on the tpunk hostel search for villaggio dei fiori in San Remo they have cheap shared dorms, of 4 people, plus all the other cool stuff like bars, pools and the beach etc. the commute is short to monaco and cannes and you dont have to ba a high roller to stay there.
