Hostel Doctor Features on Hotel Impossible Makeover Show

Hostel Doctor was fortunate to be invited to take part in US Travel Channel's hit show 'Hotel Impossible' for their Season 7 Premiere 'Hostel Takeover'. On the show, client The Gardner Hotel & Hostel is given a makeover to restore it to a great place to stay - and Hostel Doctor was in charge of modernising their branding and online presence.

Our client The Gardner Hotel and Hostel in El Paso, Texas, was given the makeover treatment by Anthony Melchiorri and the design team to update the hostel rooms and communal area to make it modern, safe, clean and comfortable. They called in Hostel Doctor to update their online presence, produce their new website and branding, and to market the revamped hostel. We're pleased to say that the hostel has had a great turnaround.  

It was great to contribute to the show and we're really please that they chose to have a hostel featuring. Hopefully it can bring more attention to hostels as a great budget option for those traveling in the US and showcase what they're all about.
