What’s not to love about the humble hostel? More than just a way to make your hard-earned dollars travel further, hostels are uniquely social compared to the pricier option of hotel and ursting at the seams with like-minded travellers looking for a good time.
We’ve complied a snapshot of the best hostels in Europe calling to be explored in 2017. And this is just the beginning – there are plenty more impressive hostels on the Topdeck trail.
1. The Generator – Paris.
Expect cool vibes. Culture. Art. Funky rooms – the Generator Paris has it all.
And the best part? The impressive rooftop, duh! With views seriously-amaze views spanning across Sacré-Cœur and Montmartre, you won’t be disappointed. Anyone for cocktails on the roof?

4. PLUS Camping Jolly – Venice.
We. Love. Venice. And we really, really love the PLUS Camping Jolly in Venice. Once you’ve had it with the canals and maze-like streets of Venice, you can kick back in the pool or the on-site jacuzzi and soak the days away.
5. Wombats – Budapest.
Once upon a time, this hostel was a hotel. Now, that hotel is now a hostel. Stay with us here…. Keep up with the times at the Wombats Hostel in Budapest and check out the ruin bars nearby.
