About

WE ARE A PARTY HOSTEL. Sometimes there is noise past midnight. Don't stay here if that makes you cry. Our other hostel, Main Square Hostel is a great place for comfy, peaceful sleep. And it's close to the Main Square. You can still party with us but sleep with them.

DORMS just renovated as of Nov 2023. Come check it out.

You'll be charged a prepayment for the first night at any time after the booking.

AC in every room, activities every night, pub crawls, beer pong and more. All our pub crawls include UNLIMITED beer and selection of 3 mixers.

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


See below for FREEBIES, upcoming events and nightly activities.

Welcome to the hostel that is owned and operated by backpackers. Having travelled for over 20 years we like to think we know what you want. You want a clean place to hangout, clean bathrooms, comfy beds, a bar to get white girl wasted in while not draining your bank account, fast WiFi, option of female only dorms (because guys smell) and be close to some of towns main attractions. We got you.

We have the cheapest pub crawl in town, we have beer pong competitions and events every day of the week. We know how to have a good time

Don't want to party? Fine. Enjoy a nice rest in a comfy bed on one of our three floors. Netflix and chill with your partner or a stranger if they're up for it. Check-in early if the rooms are ready.

Remember, we're backpackers too and love to save money on our travels. There are actually 7 ways you can stay for free at the Whole Wide World Hostel or 7 ways to get a discounted stay, but you'll have to research that. And research BEFORE you book on here.

We are close to all main attractions in Zagreb; Ban Jelacic Square, Museum Of Broken Relationships, Cathedral, Tkaciceva ulica and much more. We have the hottest and best staff minimum wage can buy. Locals who know all the nooks and crannies of this glorious town and ninjas who have travelled far and wide.

We have a fully equipped kitchen for you to cook and store food. Feel free to bring your own alcohol into the hostel (NOT the bar) and make yourself at home. Everyone is welcome here and everyone is invited to join in all activities. Its fine if you want to spend time alone or with your mates but just note that we are a very sociable hostel and we don't exclude anyone. So if you do want to join in but feel little anxious, please see one of the staff. ALL dickheads will be asked to leave!

Other shit you might want to know. Within 50 meters of our hostel there is a supermarket, ATM, Chemist, Tram stop, bakeries, restaurants and bike rental. We DO NOT have any parking unfortunately. There is street parking at a cost or there are a few car parks around the neighborhood. Please get in touch if you have questions about parking or anything else.

There are a several quality hostels in Zagreb so if you think the World is not for you and you want some recommendations, get in touch. We have stayed at many of them and can make suggestions for your needs.

Happy travels.

I had the best time ever! Ana was amazing and she had the most beautiful feminine energy I've ever come across - i wish she was mine :) loved her and loved my time at WWW hostel. From reception staff, Barbara was insanely professional, nice and helpful. Very lovely and always willing to help out no matter what the issue is or for good recommendations. 10/10 recommend this place, thanks for everything!
