Famous Hostels

Famous Hostels www.famoushostels.com · We hand selected the best hostel in each one of our 50 destinations for you.

We began as a group of 5 famous top-rated hostels back in 1995 and named ourselves “The Famous Five”. Over the last 20 years budget traveling has taken off and due to huge demand for the “new concept” budget and stylish accommodation there was a need to expand! Our team searched high and low throughout some of Europe’s most electrifying cities and found hostels that matched our Famous Hostel standards and ethos: safe, fun, and the best experience. We look for hostels that can offer top of the range accommodation and a unique user experience that you will never forget! In 2001 The Famous Five re-launched themselves as Europe’s Famous Hostels, and have been expanding ever since. In the last 14 years Europe’s Famous Hostels has had 51 new members get involved and join our passionate team making us a unique network spanning Europe. Each hostels is an independent hostel assuring you an authentic, local experience in each of our locations. All our members are dedicated to offering you the best tips and advise for traveling and enjoying their city. Staying with us at Europe’s Famous Hostels means a safer and smoother journey through Europe with guidance and support along the way. To become a member of the Europe’s Famous Hostels group the youth hostel in question has to offer great value without compromising on the quality.

Naples needs more than a Reel. So we gave it a whole episode.

Staying overnight has its perks. Set the alarm, head to Markt and the canals early, and you’ll get to see a very different side of the city before the day-trippers arrive.

You can head back to bed after, if you want. We won’t judge and St Christopher's will be waiting for you no matter what.

Rimini is made for exploring on two wheels.

If you’re arriving by train, you can rent a bike right by the station, and head towards the seafront or into the historic centre.

Rimini is a flat city, with plenty of cycle paths and very little reason to spend the day walking everywhere.

And when you’re done? Sunflower Backpacker Hostels Rimini is your Rimini base.

Save this one for Rimini.
