Diva Mariah Carey says give dives a go

MARIAH Carey wasn’t happy when she was booked into a £30-a-night hostel.

But she lightened up after learning her arrival was being filmed for an ad for Hostelworld.

And the pop diva, 48, was delighted the Casa Gracia hostel, in Barcelona, offered perks such as free wi-fi and a cocktail bar. Staff also put her in a private, en suite room.

And Mimi was so impressed, she is encouraging fans to slum it.

‘Someone thought it would be funny to book me in a hostel,’ she said. ‘It was fabulous. Give hostels a go!’
