Travelling on a budget?

Then like me, you’ll always open up your preferred booking app/website and sort by prices low to high.

You then spend way too much finding the cheapest hostels in Europe. Country by country. Days later you forget what the low end of hostel prices are in each country. Frustrating.

To solve this for myself, I created this list of the most budget friendly hostel in every European country (51 total). Don’t argue with me on what countries are/aren’t in Europe, Google gave me a list which I used.

You can bounce around the map (click here here to open the map in a new page), or check out the list further below.

Note:

  • Search was completed using Booking.com on 17th August 2017 (consistently same/cheaper prices than HostelWorld I found)
  • This is based off hostels available for one person on the 23rd of August, 2017
  • If two hostels were equal price wise, I chose highest rating hostel
  • A minimum of 20 reviews on Booking.com was required
  • If I fucked something up, I’m only human. meow.
  • The list won’t be perfect as hostel prices in Europe can vary between seasons
  • These are affiliate links, Which means I’ll get a commission if you book through one of the links. There’s no harm for you, only karma to be gained.

Unless you plan to have a sleepover with the Pope, you won’t be sleeping in the Vatican. As the cheapest hostel in Italy was in Rome, you can simply stay there. Great success.


Phew! Complete. That’s all the data from my research compiled on one loooong day of look at hostel prices.
