OOPS!

Oops – the ‘contemporary, modern, budget hotel’ has done it again. As ubiquitous as a Britney classic, you can’t get away from the crop of stylised design hostels springing up all over Europe, but then for the discerning traveller on a budget, why would you want to? Designed by interior architect Philippe Maidenberg with graphics by Daniela Millas, you’ll get cheerful wall decals, funky light-boxed reception, and brightly painted rooms complete with the requisite wi-fi, airconditioning, and a free brekkie to set you up for a day in the Latin Quarter. Hit me baby one more time.
