About

A first-hand guide to staying well across Asia — hostels, villas and hotels alike.

This site grew out of years of criss-crossing Asia and the endless question that comes with it: where should we stay? Between capsule hostels in Tokyo, private villas in Bali and boutique hotels in Bangkok, the region offers more ways to sleep than anywhere on earth — and getting the choice right transforms a trip.

So we write practical, honest guides to accommodation across Asia: how to book a first Bali villa, which Tokyo neighbourhood suits a hostel stay, when a hotel beats an apartment, and how to make the whole thing affordable. No fluff, no sponsored gushing — just what we'd tell a friend.

The guide is written by Marcus Field and a handful of fellow travellers. Say hello at [email protected].
