About

FREE HOT BREAKFAST every morning (Scrambled eggs, sausages, cornflakes and choco balls, toast with spreads, tea & coffee

Welcome to Whole Wide World Hostel – Zagreb’s most social backpacker playground.

We’re a mid-size, backpacker-run hostel made for travelers who want to meet people and create the kind of nights you’ll be talking about for years.

With 12 rooms total (private rooms plus dorms from 4–10 beds, including a 6-bed female-only dorm), we’re big enough to be buzzing and small enough to feel like family.

We’re the ONLY hostel in Zagreb with daily activities and our very own bar – meaning the fun starts the moment you check in. Think karaoke nights, beer pong tournaments, DIY pizza nights, pancake parties, legendary pub crawls (with 1 FULL HOUR of unlimited drinks), and special events like the world’s longest New Year’s Eve party that lasts 26 hours straight.

Every guest gets free breakfast daily, free pancakes every Tuesday, and happy hour every single night. And while we love to party, we also respect sleep – things stay quiet after midnight so you can recover for round two.

People love us for our friendly staff, ridiculously social atmosphere, and how easy it is to make real travel friends here. Whether you’re here to go wild, meet your new travel crew, or just chill with a drink and good company, you’ll feel included from the moment you arrive – always without pressure.

One stay with us, and the whole wide world suddenly feels a lot smaller.


Happy travels.

Amazing hostel, one of the best common rooms that I’ve sat down in at the hostel. Its a very social hostel and very easy to meet people. The 24 hour reception is great as well. The staff are very nice and accommodating. Special shoutout to Ania, she was incredible and went out of her way to ensure a great guest experience!
