r/hostels

Hey everyone!

I’m planning a solo trip somewhere in Europe this October and I’m looking for a destination with a really good social/party hostel scene.

My priorities are:

Easy to meet other solo travelers

Social hostel with events, pub crawls, group activities, etc.

Good nightlife

Still lively in October. Not somewhere that feels completely dead after summer.

Which city would you choose in October and which specific hostel would you recommend?

Thanks!

I (M) am currently at the mad monkey hostel

So if anybody has any recommendations in the USA, I'm new to this and got my first taste of the hostile life in Austin, Texas. I'm from Michigan and would be really interested in traveling around somewhere warm hopefully this time of year if anybody knows anywhere

I can help in a number of things from Tech to just daily keeping up the place to anything in between.

If someone has a good place to start or just like a good hostel to send a message on Instagram, please let me know

Hey guys!

I am in Bali at the moment and there was a camera inside my mixed dorm (which I had no information about) at Golden Cage Heritage Hostel Denpasar. I was changing in the dorm as it was empty and only had card access. I saw the camera, freaked out and confronted the owner. He said its normal for security reasons and nobody ever complained. I left

I have traveled to a couple of places but nothing extensive. Has it happened to anyone else?

looking at either doing one or both in January also seeing any recommendations from people for a 20 yo male looking for a social hostel

I have an upcoming trip to China planned in November for 30 days. Is there much of a hostel scene in China? On the social side of things? Hotels don't seem much more expensive but would like to meet people when travelling. TIA for any advice or recs.

other than going back, bc ik lolol but like, how do you deal with the time ending? i went to my first hostel last week & found home there for the first time in a long time. but even when i go back, the same people aren't going to be there, and that's really rough on me even though ik other cool people will be there + i have the contact info of the ones who won't. but i'm still just... so upset. what a special experience. i never wanted it to end.

I am going to Berlin with 2 friends (24F) in a month or so and I want to redeem my previous Berlin experiences.

Last time I visited Berlin with a group of friends we stayed in a strange, quiet area and were miles away from anything. This time I’m looking for a hostel in a more social area (I hear Kreuzberg and Mitte are quite hip) so that we can go to bars and socialise in the evening, without getting too much into the techno scene (to avoid disappointment when we get rejected lol)

Looking for hostel recommendations that are social and in areas close to Berlins happenings.
