Por Famous Hostels Hostales en Europa
A view of the Acropolis in Athens? A roof top in Rome? If you’re looking for the biggest party, best atmosphere, designer cool or a home -from-home, we have hostels to suit every traveler. With over 50 destinations in Europe, we offer hostels in our network that we’ve chosen as the best in their destination. Budget friendly but with everything you could want from a hostel; here’s why you should sleep with a ‘Famous’ hostel. Yes all of them!

Balmer’s Hostel in Interlaken, Switzerland
What makes a ‘Famous Hostel’?
We are a network of over 50 hostels – hand picked as the BEST in Europe: unique, fun, safe, great value, with the best locations, most amazing staff, atmosphere and more!
To be a Albergue famoso each member of our network has to meet our strict criteria and be the best in their destination – offering an unique and great stay to backpackers. Although we are a network, all our hostels are individual, with their own style – whether it’s a Swiss Chalet in the Alps, a traditional Andalusian house in Granada, Spain, or a converted monastery in Sorrento, Italy.
Every hostel is unique but offering the same high standards (with the best ratings on Hostelworld and other accommodation booking sites.) What more could you want? Oh, and there’s no booking fees when you book directly on our website! The best way to start saving money for your trip!

Equity Point Hostel, Marrakech
Why a ‘Famous Hostel’?
Well – firstly you are going to have the best time at a famous hostel. We think. They guarantee a unique experience – that you’ll never forget! Secondly, they offer great value without compromising on quality. We want you to know that from one Famous Hostel to another, you will receive a friendly smile and have a great experience.

Copenhagen Downtown Hostel’s Retro Rooms
Designer Hostels with a difference
Part of being unique is that all our hostels have GREAT design. We don’t just make our hostels look like hotels, we have plenty of heart and soul in our design! We can do Retro Scandinavian or French chic – some of our hostels have local artists and photographers contributing to their great design, and one has a shrine to David Hasslehoff. We leave you to guess which one! We also have a hostel that is floating! Check out Arkabarka in Belgrade!

Czech Inn Prague
Do you like your hostel to have a little bit of luxury?
Why not? Backpacking doesn’t have to mean low standards, and some of our hostels are definitely more like ‘poshtels’. Check our our hostel in Ischia – Paradise Beach Hotel Ischia – which has a swimming pool to watch sunset from – or just enjoy your cocktails poolside. Or how about a sauna in Sweden? City Backpackers in Sweden has a guest sauna for you to get local in. Or our rooftop pool and terrace at Villa Marija in Hvar? We have so many to choose from you just have to see them all!

Seven Hostel in Sorrento, Italy
Who are the ‘Famous Hostels’?
We only allow one Famous Hostel per destination to be part of the network – there can be only one! That way you know as a guest with us that you really are at the best possible place. And there’s a lot of them – 51 in fact – which is good news for you, as you can travel around the whole of the network knowing that each place will be just as awesome as the last – but unique!
