Everyone wants to party on the road but with a million hostels in the world, where should you go?
I’ve searched high and low, drank with the best of them, and endured sleepless nights by the toilet to find the best party hostels out there.
Here are twenty that will keep you drinking, dancing, flirting, and hugging the porcelain goddess until the sun comes up:
Surf N’ Sun
Location: Gold Coast, Australia.
With a swimming pool and open courtyard, the Surf N’ Sun (http://www.surfnsun-goldcoast.com/index.html) packs the young, the wild, and the alcoholic.
Bar Crawls take place every night and the hostel offers punch and free club entry. Boxes of goon start flowing late afternoon when people come back from the beach.
The Clown and Bard
Location: Prague, Czech Republic
With a 36 person dorm room, this place (http://www.clownandbard.com/)is always hopping. There’s a bar downstairs with a two for three happy hour beginning at 7pm and a live band filling the air.
Music gets blasting and four deck games of Kings have been known to break out as people forget there’s a city outside the hostel. If you’re in the 36 bed dorm, bring earplugs as this place does not follow any of the hostel sex rules.
The Flying Pig

Location: Amsterdam, The Netherlands
With its bar and pillow lounge, the Flying Pig (http://www.flyingpig.nl/) is the spot for those looking to channel their inner Bob Marley. There’s a constant cloud of smoke seeping out into streets at all hours of the day and night. Don’t worry if you run out- there are two coffeeshops across the street!
Base
Location: Melbourne, Australia
Base (http://www.stayatbase.com/base-backpackers-melbourne-hostel/) features a downstairs club that pumps out music every night. You won’t get any sleep as the music filters up the floors and entices you to come down and party until dawn.
The young and the restless fill the dance floor after drinking pitchers of beer and cheap, colorful shots. There’s usually theme and karaoke nights that let you embarrass your self all night long.

Location: Cusco, Peru
Located in a 450 year old building, Loki (http://www.lokihostel.com/cusco)is known throughout South America for its parties. With regular events, an open lounge, and theme nights, I wouldn’t expect any sleep here either. The bar is regularly packed so tight, you’ll be practically grinding against your neighbor.
#11 Happy Guesthouse
Location: Phnom Penh, Cambodia
Why: Located by the lake in Phnom Penh, #11 Happy Guesthouse (http://www.phnompenhonline.com/GHouses.asp) features a huge patio, two big screen TVs, a pool table, and one dollar beers. Always packed, this hostel is filled with the party seekers who spend their days sightseeing and night drinking beer before heading to the infamous Heart of Darkness.
St. Christopher’s Inn
Location: London, England
A bar, karaoke, cheap drinks, and a license to go until 4am all means that this hostel is bursting with partygoers and one the busiest in London. After you drink it down, you can take it off at the rooftop hot tub. People here (http://www.st-christophers.co.uk/london-hostels/london/london-bridge)know where the action is and if you play your cards right, it just might be your room.
Kabul

Location: Barcelona, Spain
Located in the center of Las Ramblas, Kabul (http://www.kabul.es/)has a very open second floor where all parties happen. Happy hour officially begins at 7, which is usually a few hours after everyone wakes up.
With a reputation for partying, this place keeps drawing those who start partying at 2 a.m. and sleep until 2 p.m. This place gives new meaning to the term “late night.” I was called a quitter for sleeping at 5 a.m.
