    In Schwiennfurt (pig town), should you be so unlucky to wash up there, look up a place called the Koenig. Real dump, real cheap.

          Stuttgart is ugly. Unless you want to meet someone there, you really shouldn't visit it. There are many nicer places in Germany.

            They have Niketown in Berlin. And McDonalds. I recommend you this tour. The tour of the 'how many things I can spot here that I have right here back home' tour. We end the tour with singing familiar songs, meeting fellow citizens in foreign country, and then have nostalgia nights and have pub quiz, about our own culture.

            Should be fun.

                    1) You can clean my place as much as you like, but fully clothed

                    2) Just a smallhouse

                      No just a big rock hard opera house, with read seats.

                      And I know you want me to clean naked so you just might as well admit it.

                          Check out all the main hostel websites, including hostelworld.com and hostels.com. Having lived in Barcelona, I suggest you find a hostel off the Ramblas a bit if you want to avoid all the riff-raff. Also book early because all the Brits, Aussies, Kiwis and others fill up the downtown hostels.

                          Also in Spain look for pensiones in addition to regular hostels. Pensiones are about the equivelent of flop houses.

                          Edit:

                          Sitges is also a nice little resort town about 40 minutes by train from Barcelona. I don't know which way your door swings, but if you're gay, that's a nice place to go.
