Choose the Best Hostels in Europe for a Genuine Backpacker Experience with Famous Hostels
Many years ago, when backpacking was done with Lonely Planet guidebooks and a paper map, there were some hostels in Europe that everyone knew about - ones that you had to stay at - or you hadn’t really travelled Europe. They were like the Holy Grail - you had to see them to believe them. A bit like The Beach; but without all the crazy stuff. Well, some of it. Stayed at The Flying Pig in Amsterdam? The Pink Palace in Corfu? Then you’ll know what we’re talking about.

These hostels were the stuff dreams are made of - party, explore, discover, have the best time of your life, repeat.

FUN!!!
Famous Hostel member hostels are special. They are all unique, whether they’re a party hostel in an old palace in Madrid or beach front living in Rimini. Although they form a network of guaranteed great stays, they are all individual hostels in their own right. This way they provide a unique experience in each location, and that is the essence of Famous Hostels!

Our hostels offer cultural trips, tours, beach tips, boat trips, ski trips - you name it! Each hostel offers the best options for their location, whether that's buying fresh ingredients in a local market and cooking together, or canyoning through glacial waters. Explore and discover more!
