Let’s talk about the craziest party-oriented hostels around the globe. You know, those magical party destinations where you end up dancing with hundreds of backpackers at a foam party in Queensland, or find yourself sipping drinks at what’s literally the highest Irish pub on Earth – 3,600 meters up in La Paz. Yeah, that’s what you’re in for at these wild party hotspots in 2025.
Looking for dirt cheap fun? How about £5 beds at Budapest’s infamous Retox Party Hostel? Or maybe you’re dreaming of beachfront madness at Mad Monkey Nacpan? These aren’t just places to crash – they’re where unforgettable stories begin. Trust me, whether you’re joining the legendary bar crawls in Corfu or losing yourself in Amsterdam’s Red Light District parties, these hostels deliver way more than just a bunk bed.
I’ve hunted down 17 of the absolute wildest party hostels out there, and each one puts their own crazy spin on the backpacker party scene. Ready to dive into rooftop ragers in Barcelona or glow stick parties in Bolivia? Keep reading, cause these aren’t your grandma’s hostels. Are you ready for an adventure of a lifetime?
Rising Sun Party Hostel (Ibiza)
Oh boy, let’s talk about the absolute madness that is Rising Sun Party Hostel in Ibiza. Smack in the middle of the Mediterranean’s party paradise, this place knows how to keep the good times rolling 24/7. The White Isle’s party scene has evolved from just nighttime ragers to round-the-clock celebrations, and this hostel is right there for all of it (trust me, you won’t be getting much sleep anyway).
Beach Club Access
Want to party like a celebrity? The hostel hooks you up with the island’s most insane beach clubs. We’re talking about spots like Blue Marlin where even Beyoncé shows up to party, and O Beach where the themed events are absolutely mental. Pro tip: if you’re hitting up Ibiza in July or August, book your spots early – these places fill up faster than a hostel washing machine on Sunday morning.
Pool Party Features
The pool area here is where the magic happens (and where hangovers come to die). Picture this: you’re floating in the pool while some guy with a saxophone jams along with the live DJs, and there’s actual yoga happening somewhere (probably for the people who made better life choices than me). Heads up though – bring at least €100 for the minimum spend on food and drinks. Worth every cent though!
DJ Events
The music here is like a perfectly planned party crescendo. It starts with chill beats that won’t murder your morning headache, then builds up throughout the day until you’re full-on raving to house and techno by sunset. The pre-parties are legendary – perfect for warming up before hitting the big nightclubs (like me, you’ll need the practice).
Party Packages
These guys have thought of everything (and I mean EVERYTHING). VIP entry? Check. Bottle service? You got it. Fancy transportation? Absolutely. They’ve even got packages with:
Birthday celebrations in private cabanas (fancy!)
VIP bungalows with misting systems (because Ibiza is HOT)
Private whirlpools and flat-screen TVs
The absolute peak of madness hits during April 25-27, 2025 – that’s when all the big superclubs kick off their season. If you want to experience opening parties at places like Hï Ibiza and Ushuaïa, this is your chance. Just don’t blame me if you can’t remember any of it!
Ready to experience Melbourne’s wildest party scene? Base St Kilda is your answer! This legendary party hostel sits right by the beach in Melbourne’s most vibrant suburb (because why party inland when you can party by the ocean?). Trust me, when it comes to authentic Aussie partying, this place knows what’s up.
Aussie Party Culture
The Red Eye Bar is where all the magic happens. Picture this: backpackers from every corner of the world, a pool table that’s never empty, and arcade games that somehow get more entertaining the more you drink. And if you need a breather? Head upstairs to the chill zone – it’s perfect for those “I need a minute” moments we all have during a big night out.
Social Events
Let’s talk about what makes this place special – Big Willy’s Bingo (yes, that’s really what it’s called) takes over every Monday night and it’s absolutely mental. Throughout the week, you’ll find yourself at trivia nights that turn into drinking games and silent discos where everyone looks ridiculous but nobody cares. The best part? You don’t even need to stay here to join the party (though you probably should).
Nightlife Scene
When the sun sets, St Kilda transforms into party central. The crown jewel? Australia’s longest-running music venue, The Espy. It’s like the grandparent of Australian music venues, but way cooler.

Beachfront bars (sunset + cocktails = perfection)
Historic pubs that are older than your great-grandparents
Fancy cocktail spots for when you’re feeling classy

More Worldwide
Let’s talk about partying at 3,400 meters above sea level! Loki Hostel Cusco isn’t your average party spot – it’s a 500-year-old colonial mansion turned backpacker paradise where altitude sickness meets tequila shots (probably not the best combo, but hey, we’re here for a good time, not a long time).
Altitude Party Experience
The hostel bar here is where all the magic happens, with not one but TWO happy hours daily (6-7 PM and 9-10 PM). They’ve got this special signature drink that’ll make you forget you’re breathing mountain air. Oh, and if you think you’re good at beer pong, try playing it at altitude – it’s a whole different game up here!

Beer pong tournaments that get way too competitive
Theme nights bringing together party people from over 100 hostels across Cusco (now that’s what I call networking)

Old Market and Art Market (great for hangover shopping)
Siem Reap River walks (when you need some fresh air)
Hidden alleys full of surprises
The PumpHouse is where your night begins – trust me on this one. Later, head up to the rooftop for some stargazing with martinis (because we’re fancy like that). Digital nomads, they’ve even got you covered with the Garage Society co-working space – because sometimes you need to pretend to work between parties.
Looking for a party spot that won’t leave you needing another vacation? The Dreamer Hostel in Santa Marta might just be your answer. This place has gotten so popular it’s even featured in Lonely Planet and Cosmopolitan Magazine (fancy, right?). But don’t worry – it hasn’t gone all posh on us.
Caribbean Vibes

I personally love how this place welcomes everyone – whether you’re a digital nomad pretending to work or a solo traveler looking for friends. The sunset tours of the old town are pretty epic too, especially if you’re trying to look cultured on Instagram. Oh, and pro tip: their Italian restaurant makes some killer hangover food.
Want to explore? You’re perfectly placed for adventures to Tayrona National Park, Minca, and Taganga. The staff speak more languages than I can count, so you’ll always find someone to understand your drink order.
Let’s talk about the coolest spot in Tel Aviv’s artsy Florentine district. This place is packed with students, musicians, and creative types who somehow turn every random Tuesday into a reason to celebrate. The vibe here? Pure Mediterranean party magic.
Mediterranean Party Scene
You know those hostels that nickel and dime you for everything? Not this one. They’ve got free hookah sessions and drinks at supermarket prices (because who doesn’t love saving money for more parties?). Every night brings something new – one minute you’re deep in a political chat about Israel, next thing you know you’re in an intense game of Never Have I Ever. The best part? These communal dinners where everyone chips in what they can – perfect for making friends before hitting the town.

Let me tell you about Nicaragua’s OG party spot – Pachamama Hostel. Half a block from the beach, this legendary hangout perfectly blends surf vibes with absolute party chaos. Trust me, I’ve seen places try to copy this formula, but nobody does it quite like Pachamama.
Sunday Funday Experience
The crown jewel here is their infamous Sunday Funday Pool Crawl, which has been melting minds since June 2013. This beast kicks off at Pachamama at 1 PM (ladies, get there on time – free drinks until 2 PM!). You’ll hit four different spots, each hooking you up with:
Free shots (because why not?)
Those iconic Sunday Funday tanks everyone’s wearing
Shuttles between venues (thank god, because walking isn’t happening)
Party access until 1 AM (or until you tap out)
Beach Parties

Beach bonfires with enough drinks to sink a ship

Pool for when you’re feeling delicate post-surf
Bar that knows exactly what you need
Chill zones for plotting your next adventure
Kitchen for those 3 AM munchies
I love how they hook you up with cheap surf lessons and board rentals. It’s like they’re saying “Hey, maybe do something productive before destroying yourself at tonight’s party?” And you know what? It works. This isn’t just another party hostel – it’s where travelers become family over shared waves and shared beers. Just don’t blame me if you end up staying longer than planned!
For nearly three decades (yeah, we’re talking 28 years!), India House has been the go-to spot for backpackers looking to experience the real New Orleans. This isn’t just another hostel – it’s where good music, killer food, and awesome people come together for that authentic NOLA experience.
NOLA Party Vibes
The whole place oozes this crazy bohemian vibe that just works. Their outdoor deck is something else – complete with a stage where impromptu jam sessions break out when you least expect it. One minute you’re chilling, next thing you know you’re part of a spontaneous jazz parade or movie night (typical New Orleans, am I right?).
Pool Events
Here’s the kicker – they’re the only hostel in New Orleans with an actual swimming pool. And trust me, in that New Orleans heat, you’ll be thankful for it! The pool’s open from 10 AM to 10 PM (perfect for both morning refreshes and evening cool-downs). During summer, these legends organize:
Pool parties with live music (because why party without tunes?)
Proper crawfish boils (you haven’t lived until you’ve tried these)

Historic Lapin Agile (oldest cabaret in Montmartre)
Au Soleil de la Butte’s Comedy Club (Saturday shows at 8:30 PM)
The terrace here is something else – perfect for pre-gaming while staring at Sacré-Coeur. And if you’re new to Paris, you’ll love that the Sacré-Coeur is just 0.2 miles away, and the famous Paris Bar Crawl is practically next door (0.08 miles – even I can handle that walk).
Let’s talk about Purple Monkey in El Poblado – the perfect spot for those who want to party but also actually remember their time in Medellín. Just steps from Parque Lleras, this place nails that sweet spot between wild nights and actually being able to function the next day.
Colombian Party Culture
The rooftop bar here is where the magic happens – it’s got this weird way of making everyone best friends by midnight. And while it’s not one of those crazy party hostels where you’ll find people doing shots at breakfast, it’s got this vibe that just works. Plus, you’re stumbling distance from all the best bars and restaurants in Parque Lleras (trust me, you’ll appreciate this at 2 AM).
Rooftop Events
Oh boy, let me tell you about this rooftop – it’s literally the largest in Medellín (weird flex, but okay). We’re talking:
Hammocks perfect for nursing that hangover
A bar that won’t empty your wallet
Some seriously cool graffiti (great for those Instagram shots)
Movie nights under the stars
The best part? A bottle of wine at the bar is only 30,000 COP (compared to 20,000 in stores). I mean, for an extra 10k, you’re basically paying for the view and the chance to make friends with that group of Aussies in the corner.
Social Activities
The staff here are absolute legends at getting people to connect without it feeling forced. It’s like they’ve mastered this perfect balance – you can actually get work done during the day (digital nomads, I see you) while still having plenty of chances to socialize.
Location-wise? Spot on. Right between the metro and El Poblado’s core – perfect for mixing culture with chaos. The vibe stays chill throughout the day, which is exactly what you want when you’re not trying to party 24/7. First-timers love it because you can actually have real conversations here – none of that forced “EVERYBODY SHOTS NOW!” nonsense you get at other hostels.
Oh boy, let me tell you about Hostel One – this place is an absolute game-changer in London’s party scene. HostelWorld gave them an award (like they needed more validation), and I’ve personally seen more solo travelers become best friends here than I can count.
British Party Scene
The staff here? All fellow travelers who somehow turned partying into a legitimate job. They’ve got these genius hostel common areas that work for everything – from those “I need to pretend to work” moments to full-on party chaos. Oh, and no curfew (because who needs sleep in London, right?).
Social Events
Here’s where it gets good – every night starts with a FREE communal dinner (yes, actually free, I checked). Once everyone’s full and happy, out come the drinking games. Let me tell you, I’ve seen some intense beer pong championships here. The daily lineup is pretty sweet:
Free walking tours (perfect for pretending you’re cultured)
Themed dinners (way better than your typical hostel food)
Game nights (that get weirdly competitive)
Karaoke nights (where everyone becomes a superstar)
Pub Crawl Experience
The pub crawls here are legendary. These guys know London’s party scene better than most locals. You’ll score:
Two-for-one drinks at the good bars (not the tourist traps), unlimited sangria back at the hostel (dangerous!), and free shots at every stop (even more dangerous!). €23 gets you into all the best spots in Piccadilly, Leicester Square, and Soho.
The best part? The staff actually care about keeping you alive (unlike some other pub crawls I’ve seen). First-timers love this because, let’s face it, London can be scary when you’re drunk and lost. Since it’s a smaller hostel, you’ll actually remember people’s names the next morning (though maybe not what you did).
Ready to experience Sydney’s wildest party scene? Wake Up! Sydney Central isn’t just another hostel – it’s literally been voted Australia’s best. Sitting right across from Central Railway Station (perfect for those “where am I?” moments), this place knows how to party properly.

Musical Bingo that gets way too competitive
Frat Party Mondays (starting 9 PM – because who needs Tuesdays?)
Throwback Thursdays (warning: you will sing)
DJs every single night (yes, even Sundays)
Party Events
These guys really know how to keep things interesting.

Pro tip: the Sunday pub crawl is only $20 and it’s absolutely worth it – they’ll take you to all the spots tourists never find.
City Nightlife
Location-wise? Spot on. You’re stumbling distance from some of Sydney’s best party spots – the Gaelic Club, Keg & Brew Hotel, and Clock Hotel. The Activities team here are legends – they know all the good spots and won’t send you to those tourist trap clubs.
Here’s the best part – they’ve got this genius no-noise policy after 10 PM in the sleeping areas. That means you can party like a rockstar downstairs without being that person who wakes up the whole floor. Whether you’re flying solo or rolling deep, this place has a weird way of turning strangers into best friends. Just don’t blame me if you end up extending your stay!
Ready to experience Paris without the fancy price tag? St Christopher’s Inn along Canal St. Martin is where French class meets backpacker chaos. This place has won so many awards they probably need a separate dorm just to store them all.
Canal Location
Stuck between Gare du Nord and Gare de l’Est (fancy names for big train stations), you’ve got three metro lines right at your doorstep. The waterfront terrace is absolutely unreal – perfect for nursing your morning coffee or evening wine. Oh, and there’s a massive supermarket nearby for all your pre-drinking needs. Because let’s face it, Paris isn’t exactly known for budget-friendly booze.
Bar Features
Belushi’s bar is where the real magic happens. We’re talking 25% off food (actual edible food, not just bar nuts) and two-for-one drinks all stay long. Happy hour runs from 5:30 PM to 7 PM – probably the only time in Paris you can afford to drink like a local. Their burgers and bar snacks are proper good too, which you’ll appreciate at 2 AM.

Mojito Mondays (where everyone becomes a cocktail expert)
Friday Night Rock (warning: air guitars will appear)
Live sports (because sometimes you need an excuse to day drink)
Giant beer pong (emphasis on GIANT)
The basement club turns into this crazy international party zone every weekend, and their pasta dinners are legendary for turning strangers into best friends. That waterfront deck? It’s basically paradise with cocktails.
They’ve even got these fancy pod beds with privacy curtains (perfect for hiding from your decisions from the night before) and free breakfast (bless them). The common areas are always buzzing, but in that good way where you actually want to talk to people. Honestly, it’s like they’ve taken everything great about Paris and crammed it into one awesome party hostel.
Let me tell you about The Bulldog – the OG of Amsterdam’s party scene. This place has been mixing hostel life with coffeeshop vibes since 1975. Fun fact: it used to be a sex shop (talk about a glow-up!). This spot literally kicked off Amsterdam’s entire coffeeshop revolution.
Coffee Shop Culture
The legend goes that the founder, Henk de Vries, actually invented the term ‘coffeeshop’ – like, the actual word! He wanted to create somewhere safe for people to chill away from the rough streets. The First (their main spot) still rocks those bright walls and comfy cow-leather seats. It’s got this perfect vibe where you can actually talk to people without shouting over EDM.

A rooftop terrace with views that’ll blow your mind
Daily boat tours (because everything’s better on a boat)

The infamous Red Light District (you know what I’m talking about)
Here’s what makes The Bulldog special – it’s not about getting absolutely wasted. The vibe is more “let’s have a good time” than “let’s destroy ourselves”. The staff here actually know what they’re doing, so you can party till morning without the usual hostel chaos. It’s like partying in your mate’s really cool living room, if your mate had the best spot in Amsterdam.
Looking for Caribbean parties without emptying your wallet? Pedro’s Hotel on Ambergris Caye is your answer! This place proves you don’t need to be a millionaire to party in paradise – it’s where budget backpackers come to live out their island fantasies.
Caribbean Party Scene
The heart and soul of this place is their sports pub, where British owner Peter (legend!) keeps the good times rolling from sunrise to sunrise. Once the sun sets, this place transforms from chill sports bar to full-on party central with live music that’ll make you forget what day it is. First-timers always end up at the outdoor pool table area – there’s something magical about playing pool under the stars while a band jams in the background.
Bar Activities
Let me tell you about Pedro’s Sports Pub and Pizzeria – the pizza here is so good even locals can’t stay away. The walls are absolutely plastered with sports stuff, and their Jagermeister bottle collection is pretty impressive (and slightly concerning). Every night you can find:
Pizza that’ll change your life (perfect hangover cure)
New best friends from around the world
Sports on big screens (in case you need an excuse to day drink)
Island Nightlife
Location-wise? Spot on. You’re stumbling distance from everything: the Roadkill Bar is 0.2 miles away (yes, that’s really its name), and the Belikin Store is practically next door at 0.08 miles.

This is where budget travelers come to party like ballers – without the baller price tag.
Ready to experience real Irish partying? (Not the touristy stuff where everyone just wears green and yells “top of the morning”). Generator Dublin in the buzzing Smithfield district is where it’s at. This historic building has been transformed into party central, mixing proper Irish craic with modern party vibes.
Irish Party Culture
The HUGE bar (yes, it needs capital letters) is where all the chaos happens. These guys throw the most mental monthly themed parties that’ll show you what Dublin’s party spirit is really about. And when you’re not dancing, there’s pool tables, ping pong, and these weird Shufl boards that somehow get more fun the more you drink.
Social Events
Want to meet people from literally everywhere? These guys have got you covered with:
Movie nights and pub quizzes (that get weirdly competitive)
Karaoke where everyone becomes Irish after midnight
Live music from legends like Miko, Peter Richardson, and Mc Jordan
Proper concerts throughout 2025 – we’re talking Pop, Hip-Hop, Rock, you name it
Temple Bar Access
Here’s the best part – you’re just 2,951 feet from the famous Temple Bar area. Getting around is super easy:
Trams every 5 minutes (USD 1-2 if you’re counting pennies)
Buses every 10 minutes (for when you miss the tram)
Taxis for USD 7-9 (worth it at 3 AM, trust me)
The location is absolutely perfect – one minute to Arran quay for buses, and you’re sorted for exploring all of Dublin’s wild nightlife. Whether you’re planning your night out or just following the crowd to the next pub, this place has a way of turning complete strangers into best friends. That’s what Irish hospitality is all about, right?
Did You Survive the Top Party Hostels?
Let’s be real – these aren’t your grandma’s hostels anymore. From foam parties in Ibiza to altitude-defying ragers in Bolivia, these 17 spots have completely changed the game for budget travelers (goodbye boring hotel rooms!).
After partying my way through these legendary venues (tough job, but someone had to do it), I’ve seen how each one creates its own special magic. Rising Sun brings Ibiza’s chaos right to your bunk bed, while Loki Cusco somehow makes partying at altitude feel like a cultural experience. Base St Kilda captures that “no worries” Aussie party vibe perfectly, and Generator Dublin? Well, let’s just say the Irish know how to party.
You know what’s really cool though? These places have figured out how to turn complete strangers into best friends without charging luxury prices. Whether you’re sharing family dinner at Hostel One London, floating in Lub d Siem Reap’s pool, or joining some wild themed party at Wake Up! Sydney, you’re guaranteed to leave with stories you can’t tell your parents.
Ready to find your perfect party spot? It really depends on your style – are you more “organized pub crawl” or “spontaneous rooftop rave”? Some hostels plan everything down to the minute, while others just create the perfect space and let the magic happen. But here’s what matters: these places are safe, comfy, and somehow turn those “what am I doing with my life?” moments into memories you’ll never forget (even if you tried).
Did you make it to any of these legendary spots? Share your wildest hostel story – we promise not to tell your mom!
