Got a Euro-trip on the cards this year? Then it’s time you get to know the best hostels in Europe.<\/p>\n
We all know that hostels are the most budget-friendly option in pricey Europe, but the benefits of these gems go way further than your wallet. Whether you\u2019re a solo traveller, headed on a friends trip or one half of a globe-trotting couple, these hostels will elevate your adventure through social connections, authentic experiences and the best local tips.<\/p>\n
Get ready to experience the most spectacular European hostels \u2013 we\u2019re talking sunny Spanish rooftops, Berlin breweries, artsy Parisian parties and everything in between. Here are 15 of the best hostels in Europe for your next trip!<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n In the heart of iconic Camden Town, this Selina hostel embodies the spirit of its neighbourhood. You can\u2019t come to Camden without seeing some live music, and there\u2019s no better place to start than in the hostel itself, where you can catch a performance by the newest local talent. Or, if you\u2019re heading out to a gig, why not warm up with a local Camden lager in the basement bar, while spinning some records on the vinyl player? There\u2019s also an on-site vegan restaurant and morning yoga classes to fuel your day of vintage shopping in Camden Market. Whoever said self-care wasn\u2019t punk? That\u2019s without mentioning its funky aesthetic and rooftop terrace, perfect for people watching over London\u2019s quirkiest area.<\/p>\n Hostel highlights:<\/strong><\/p>\n Address:<\/strong> 89 Chalk Farm Road, London<\/a><\/p>\n Neighbourhood:<\/strong> Camden Town<\/p>\n Nearest station:<\/strong> Chalk Farm<\/p>\n \n\t\t\t\t <\/p>\n Solo travellers in Amsterdam can\u2019t stop talking about this hostel, that\u2019s known for having the most social vibe in the city. The bar is the place to be during happy hour, when cheap beer, pool tables and Flying Pig\u2019s legendary staff bring everyone together. There\u2019s a smoking room for those interested, but it\u2019s tucked away because FP knows that\u2019s not what everybody comes to Amsterdam for. Choose your vibe!<\/p>\n If it\u2019s your first time in the city, then location is key. Luckily for you, this hostel is just 5 minutes from Centraal Station, and a short walk to the Red-Light District, Anne Frank House and some of Amsterdam\u2019s most famous pubs and coffee shops. If you\u2019re not sure where to begin, just tag along to the hostel\u2019s free daily walking tour!<\/p>\n Hostel highlights:<\/strong><\/p>\n Address: <\/strong>Nieuwendijk 100, Amsterdam<\/a><\/p>\n Neighbourhood:<\/strong> Centrum<\/p>\n Nearest station:<\/strong> Centraal<\/p>\n \n\t\t\t\t <\/p>\n You\u2019ll feel like part of the Sant Jordi family from the moment you check in to this bohemian Barcelona hostel. Located in the artsy Gracia neighbourhood, you\u2019ll get to see a different side to the city while still in easy reach of the main attractions via public transport. Make like a true Gracia hipster by joining the hostel\u2019s rooftop yoga class, before renting some roller-skates from reception to explore the area\u2019s organic eateries, indie galleries and cocktail bars. Sant Jordi\u2019s creative design blends in perfectly to this backdrop. The staff are what make it truly special though, so be sure to join them for the daily communal dinner, a rooftop beer or on a bar crawl \u2013 they’ll even sort you out with free club entry!<\/p>\n Hostel highlights:<\/strong><\/p>\n Address: <\/strong>Carrer de Terol 35, Barcelona<\/a><\/p>\n Neighbourhood: <\/strong>Gracia<\/p>\n Nearest station: <\/strong>Fontana<\/p>\n \n\t\t\t\t <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n This hostel has its own on-site microbrewery \u2013 does it get any more Berlin? Make sure you sample some of their home-brewed beers before joining one of their many social events. Whether it\u2019s trivia, karaoke or live music you\u2019re into, you\u2019ll find it at Circus Hostel. Our guests rave about their clean, spacious rooms (dorms and private!) and excellent bathroom facilities. You can\u2019t go wrong with this location either, smack-bang in Berlin\u2019s most central district with both a metro and tram stop right on the doorstep. After filling up on the hostel\u2019s big buffet breakfast and coffee from their cute caf\u00e9, you\u2019ll be ready to explore every corner of Berlin!<\/p>\n Hostel highlights:<\/strong><\/p>\n Address: <\/strong>Weinbergsweg 1A, Berlin<\/a><\/p>\n Neighbourhood: <\/strong>Mitte<\/p>\n Nearest station: <\/strong>U Rosenthaler Platz<\/p>\n \n\t\t\t\t <\/p>\n Take a quick browse of The Roadhouse\u2019s reviews and you\u2019ll see several guests calling it \u2018the best hostel I\u2019ve ever stayed in\u2019. This is firstly thanks to the welcoming, homely vibe that starts over a nightly family dinner, where guests can meet fellow travellers and make plans for the big Prague night ahead. It\u2019s social without being a crazy party hostel – check out their sister hostel The MadHouse<\/a> if that\u2019s more your scene. The RoadHouse is quiet after 10pm, but the staff lead those who want to continue on an unforgettable bar crawl around the city. If you opt for a night in, there are plenty of board games and books in the common room to keep you entertained. It\u2019s also just 150 metres from the famous Charles Bridge, so you\u2019ll be able to explore all of the Old Town\u2019s sights on foot.<\/p>\n Hostel highlights:<\/strong><\/p>\n Address: <\/strong>N\u00e1prstkova 275\/4, Prague<\/a><\/p>\n Neighbourhood: <\/strong>Old Town<\/p>\n Nearest station: <\/strong>Mustek<\/p>\n \n\t\t\t\t <\/p>\n Jacobs Inn is waiting to welcome you to Dublin with an expertly poured Guinness at its Instagrammable bar. Come for the booze, but stay for the top-notch facilities, like the private pod-style beds and rooftop terrace that\u2019s perfect for a sunny day pint. It\u2019s within walking distance of Trinity College and the iconic Temple Bar, which happens to be where the hostel pub crawl kicks off too. If you manage to wake up in time the next day, they offer a walking tour to take in Dublin\u2019s highlights, a must for solo travellers wanting some new buddies to explore with. Just be sure to fuel up first on not-your-average hostel breakfast, bottomless vegan porridge with heaps of fancy toppings, juice and coffee.<\/p>\n Hostel highlights: <\/strong><\/p>\n Address: <\/strong>21-28 Talbot Place, Dublin<\/a><\/p>\n Neighbourhood: <\/strong>Dublin 1<\/p>\n Nearest station: <\/strong>Connolly<\/p>\n \n\t\t\t\t <\/p>\n This hostel is loved by all guests, but especially solo female travellers who highlight its excellent comfort and cleanliness. The colourful courtyard is perfect for gelato and sunbathing, or challenging new friends to a game of ping pong or table footy. Everybody gets a free drink in the evening, which brings people together and usually leads to a night of drinking games and live music. But there are plenty of wholesome daily activities on offer too \u2013 you could try your hand at a pasta cooking class or take in the sights on a city walking tour. RomeHello\u2019s prime location makes it easy to visit Rome\u2019s hotspots on foot, and it\u2019s just a short stroll from Termini Station too. La dolce vita!<\/p>\n Hostel highlights: <\/strong><\/p>\n Address:<\/strong> Via Torino 45, Rome<\/a><\/p>\n Neighbourhood:<\/strong> Esquilino<\/p>\n Nearest station:<\/strong> Repubblica<\/p>\n \n\t\t\t\t <\/p>\n If you\u2019ve ever stayed at a Hostel One before, you\u2019ll know it\u2019s a guaranteed good time. The staff at their Budapest location are superstars, who\u2019ll guide you around the city by day and get the party started by night \u2013 our guests absolutely love them! The famous Hostel One bar starts to fill up in the early evening, when there\u2019s a home-cooked communal dinner and a chance to connect with other travellers. Next up are the drinking games, so make sure your beer pong and flip cup skills are up to scratch. When the time comes to head out for the ruin bar crawl, you\u2019ll have a whole new squad to experience Budapest\u2019s epic nightlife with.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t be nervous, party hostel doesn\u2019t equal frat house. You\u2019ll be able to get a solid night\u2019s sleep in their clean, comfy and quiet dorms.<\/p>\n Hostel highlights:<\/strong><\/p>\n Address: <\/strong>Rumbach Sebesty\u00e9n utca 6, Budapest<\/a><\/p>\n Neighbourhood: <\/strong>Jewish Quarter<\/p>\n Nearest station: <\/strong>De\u00e1k Ferenc t\u00e9r<\/p>\n \n\t\t\t\t \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n For a bougie yet budget-friendly stay in Madrid, check out The Hat, a gorgeous boutique hostel in a converted mansion that\u2019s located in the heart of the city. Every inch of this place is beautiful, from the stylish common areas to the luxurious dorms and next-level private rooms. But it\u2019s not just a pretty face! Day or night, head to the stunning rooftop bar, a meeting place that\u2019s popular with locals and travellers alike. They serve amazing tapas, and the banging breakfast is a must before the day\u2019s adventures. Every evening there\u2019s an hour of free sangria, and the staff will even teach you how to make it like a true madrile\u00f1o<\/em>. After the rooftop party dies down, join the staff on the hostel night out to discover the best un-touristy nightlife spots.<\/p>\n Hostel highlights: <\/strong><\/p>\n Address:<\/strong> Calle Imperial 9, Madrid<\/a><\/p>\n Neighbourhood:<\/strong> Plaza Mayor<\/p>\n Nearest station:<\/strong> Sol<\/p>\n \n\t\t\t\t <\/p>\n It doesn\u2019t get any more Parisian than this romantic art deco building, that was transformed into a charming hostel by 3 friends with a passion for travel. It\u2019s located in Belleville, an alternative district known for its street food market, colourful graffiti and tiny art galleries. By Paris standards, this edgy neighbourhood is pretty budget-friendly, and one of Belleville\u2019s coolest bars is inside The People hostel! It’s got local craft beers to enjoy over live jazz music, while you build up the courage for a late-night karaoke performance. The hostel\u2019s pi\u00e8ce de r\u00e9sistance is its rooftop though, with 360-degree views of Paris\u2019 skyline that\u2019ll take your selfie game up a level.<\/p>\n Hostel highlights: <\/strong><\/p>\n Address:<\/strong> 59 Boulevard de Belleville, Paris<\/a><\/p>\n Neighbourhood:<\/strong> Belleville<\/p>\n Closest station:<\/strong> Belleville<\/p>\n \n\t\t\t\t <\/p>\n The swanky rooftop bar of Wabi Sabi might look more like a 5-star hotel, but once you feel the warm welcome and peep the low prices, you\u2019ll have no doubt that you\u2019ve found one of Istanbul\u2019s best hostels. The views and vibes up here are immaculate, especially if you make it to BBQ night or an open mic session. There\u2019s a cinema screen for sports games and movies, and plenty of communal space throughout the hostel, perfect for co-working or just hanging out. It\u2019s modern and spotlessly clean from top to bottom, and our guests love the bathroom facilities and cosy beds. The location is great too, just minutes from shopping and nightlife hub Istiklal Street. Be sure to take full advantage of the delicious and FREE Turkish buffet breakfast on offer every morning!<\/p>\n Hostel highlights: <\/strong><\/p>\n Address:<\/strong> Papa Roncalli Sokak No.34, Istanbul<\/a><\/p>\n Neighbourhood:<\/strong> Taksim<\/p>\n Nearest station: <\/strong>Taksim<\/p>\n \n\t\t\t\t <\/p>\n Inside Lisbon\u2019s LX Factory, a former industrial space turned creative hub, is where you\u2019ll find the immensely cool LX Hostel. Its Scandi-style interior is kitted out with unique vintage furniture, and the buzzing rooftop bar has impressive views and a cocktail menu to match. They offer loads of freebies, from the buffet breakfast complete with homemade pancakes, to free welcome shots and nightly sangria. Its location is awesome too \u2013 LX Factory describes itself as an independent city, with over 50 shops, cafes, bars and restaurants loved by local creatives. There\u2019s a beer garden right in front of the hostel where you can hang out with the Factory\u2019s eclectic residents. Added bonus, it\u2019s pet-friendly \u2013 sometimes the best new friends are the furry kind!<\/p>\n Hostel highlights: <\/strong><\/p>\n Address: <\/strong>R. Rodrigues de Faria 103, Lisbon<\/a><\/p>\n Neighbourhood: <\/strong>Alcantara<\/p>\n Nearest station: <\/strong>Alcantara-Mar<\/p>\n \n\t\t\t\t \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n When in Porto, the home of port wine, it would be rude not to try the city\u2019s most famous drink. You won\u2019t have to look far if you stay at The House of Sandeman \u2013 it\u2019s built on top of a wine cellar, and you can drink your fill in the hostel\u2019s sun-soaked, open-air bar. Try it the classic way, or choose a creative port cocktail. Their unique dorm beds are even modelled after port wine barrels! There\u2019s always a different social event planned in the guest lounge, and the nightly family dinner, a feast of Portuguese food (with free wine, obvs) is a great way for solo travellers to connect. The location is epic too, just 5 minutes from Porto\u2019s historic centre, in an iconic building overlooking the river Douro.<\/p>\n Hostel highlights: <\/strong><\/p>\n Address: <\/strong>Largo Miguel Bombarda 67, Porto<\/a><\/p>\n Neighbourhood: <\/strong>Vila Nova de Gaia<\/p>\n Nearest station: <\/strong>General Torres<\/p>\n \n\t\t\t\t <\/p>\n We all love a hostel with a rooftop bar, but not many places have a view to rival Athens Backpackers. From \u2018Sunnies\u2019 you\u2019ll get unbeatable views of the world-famous Acropolis, which is conveniently just three minutes away. In this hostel you\u2019ll find no less than four bars \u2013 there\u2019s Sunnies rooftop for cocktails, views and cheap happy hours, The Local for Athens\u2019 signature craft beer and meze, Athens Sports Bar for live games and burgers, and Taste for exclusively Greek wine. How often can you have a bar crawl without leaving the hostel?! Thankfully there\u2019s free breakfast to line your stomach first! Athens Backpackers has a peaceful co-working space too, and daily events like walking tours will help you to discover this historic city.<\/p>\n Hostel highlights: <\/strong><\/p>\nThe best hostels in Europe:<\/strong><\/h2>\n
