If you're planning on going inter-railing this summer or just want to go on a fun weekend away, a party hostel is definitely the way to go. They're a great place to meet fellow travellers, have an unreal time and get an insider's guide to the city. Party hostels aren't for the faint-hearted though, and if you need lots of sleep you should steer clear. But if you're up for some craic and want to make the most out of your holiday, we've got you sorted with the best party hostels in Europe.
Retox Party Hostel, Budapest

In their own words:
Retox Party Hostel - the name says it all. This is not a place where people come to cleanse, rejuvenate or detox. It’s a place where people come to drink, get wild and RETOX. It is a close family of drinkers who like to drink at the bar during the day and head out to party at night. If you want to get a good night’s sleep and achieve a lot during the day, this is not the hostel for you, but if you want to see what Budapest’s nightlife has to offer, not be judged and maybe squeeze some sightseeing in between, you have found the right place. We know how hangovers feel so we don’t have check out times or kick you out during the day for cleaning.

In their own words:
During our season in Dalmatia, especially festival time, most Croatian hostels usually have a young vibrant crowd, who produce fun and noise for which we try to maintain the best we can. Our reviews tell you we are normally pretty good at this. But you must be of the understanding, that this is part of Drunken Monkey Hostel life in and around our operating months.

The Pink Palace was one of the best hostels I visited this summer through Europe. The staff were friendly but also fun. I came here after the Sziget Festival and managed to continue through each night at this hostel with organized themed parties. The breakfast was the best thing in the world....
