1. iHome Hoi An – 63% Off (Hoi An, Vietnam)
Hoi An is one of the chillest places in Vietnam, and you absolutely will not find a better hostel in town than this one, especially when both dorms and private rooms are an eye-watering 63% off!
The amount of freebies is truly breathtaking – we’re talking free buffet breakfast, free beer, and free bicycle rentals. But iHome doesn’t stop there – you’ll also get to enjoy an iconic outdoor pool (perfect for cooling off in these temps), daily activities, and an onsite bar and restaurant.
So if you’ve been putting off that Vietnam trip, there’s no better time to book a few days in Hoi An than right now!
2. Monteverde Monkey Hostel – 35% Off (Monteverde, Costa Rica)
Heading to Costa Rica and looking for one of those really sticky backpacker hostels? You know – the kind you accidentally spend three weeks at?
Allow me to introduce you to Monteverde Monkey Hostel – a top-rated backpacker abode that’s currently bookable with a sweet 35% discount. Being a six-minute walk from the bus stop, the location is convenient AF for catching public transport or exploring the area.
But there’s more – this isn’t just an amazing Hostelworld deal, this place really goes above and beyond to make you feel at home. From group activities to communal dinners and brekkies, don’t be surprised if you end up swinging on their rooftop hammocks for just a bit longer than planned!
3. Palmer’s Lodge – 32% Off (London, England)
Historic and stunning building coming right at you – on sale, that is! This London hostel is set in an 1882 lodge. I mean, it quite literally looks like a castle, and right now their rooms are 32% off which is a LOT in Londontown.
Their mixed dorms go for some of the cheapest prices in the city (especially right now!) and the location is fan-freaking-tastic. It’s far enough away from downtown to be quiet, while still being close enough to the best of London.
Free breakfast, lockers, and even an on-site bar make this the type of hostel that has 16,000 reviews and counting 🙂
4. Wombat’s City Hostel – 30% Off (Budapest, Hungary)
Perhaps the best hostel in Budapest, Wombat’s is a former four-star hotel that’s been expertly transformed into a backpacker paradise. And right now – a wide selection of their rooms are 30% off, something I highly recommend you take advantage of 😉
With 26 private rooms and 86 dorm beds, this is your opportunity to meet a ton of fellow travelers to enjoy your trip with. Located within walking distance of some of the best attractions in the city, it’s also the hostel to pick if you’re planning to get your party on.
Kazinscy Utca is a particularly unique and artsy pub right around the corner, and you’ll even find the aptly named WomBAR right on-site alongside their cafe.
5. Lub d Bangkok Siam – 25% Off (Bangkok, Thailand)
I can’t give you a Hostelworld Black Friday rundown without mentioning everyone’s favorite backpacker city. So do get excited about this dreamy discount in Bangkok!
Lub d Bangkok Siam is no doubt one of the best hostels in the Thai capital, and this 25% off sale is definitely worth planning for. The space is right at the National Stadium Skytrain, meaning getting there from the airport (or anywhere else) could not be easier.
With both private rooms and modern, well-designed dorms, you’ll get to sleep good regardless since they actually have comfy beds, unlike many other Bangkok hostels. With a ton of communal space ideal for working or socializing, it’s perfect for any type of backpacker.
6. Gaslamp Hostel – 25% Off (San Diego, USA)
The USA gets a bad rep for having pretty terrible hostels, but allow Gaslamp to prove that stereotype wrong. Set in San Diego inside a wild 1880s Victorian mansion, the hostel is right in the Gaslamp Quarter, arguably the coolest neighborhood you can stay in.
And up until December 9th, you can get 25% off your booking – definitely the type of thing you want to take advantage of in a city this expensive!
They have twin private rooms, and a few different sizes of mixed and female dorms, all at some of the lowest rates you’ll find in SoCal. The neighborhood is good for nightlife, and it’s super accessible by public transport if you don’t have a car. The rainbow of colors you’ll find in the common spaces and rooms was cool too – deff not something you’ll see in a hotel!
7. Flying Pig Beach Hostel – 20% Off (Amsterdam, Netherlands)
Amsterdam is one of my favorite cities in the world, and if I had to direct you to one hostel there it would be this one.
Sure, it’s a bit away from the main tourist spots, but the trade-in is a wild and beautiful beach right at your doorstep. The onsite bar is a bit of a location in and of itself, and right now it’s all 20% off!
The amount of activities here feels just about endless. Surfing, kiteboarding, horseback riding, and BBQs have all been arranged for guests before so you never know what might happen during your stay. The colorful cafe exudes “beach vibes” and the food is pretty great too. They have private rooms too in addition to multiple dorm options.
8. Czech Inn – 20% Off (Prague, Czech Republic)
Prague is becoming more and more popular, so why not check it off your bucket list with Hostelworld’s 20% off Black Friday deal?
The trendy rooms of the Czech Inn are set in a 19th-century Art Noveau building, and you’ll find everything from dorms to apartment-style rooms here. It’s pretty social, which means you can easily meet fellow travel buddies if you’re exploring solo.
The hostel is in the Vinohrady neighborhood, right next to the tram station, and within walking distance of pubs, restaurants, and even green spaces that are perfect for a picnic. There’s an ATM on-site, and the super helpful staff gave expert local tips and kept my luggage safe in a separate storage room.
9. Kabul Party Hostel – 15% Off (Barcelona, Spain)
One of the BEST party hostels in Europe is currently 15% off on Hostelworld, and if you’re looking for a fun time with fellow backpackers, I don’t think I could direct you anywhere better.
Famous for its infamous parties and chill daytime vibe, Kabul is the place to be if you want to see how Barcelona gets down. Free breakfast is included with all bookings, and there’s even a slightly more expensive rate that includes FREE sangria and beer from 6-10 PM. Definitely an unmatched offering!
The staff are fantastic, the bathrooms are always clean, and the ambiance is what a hostel should be: fun and social as can be.
10. Tribal Coworking Hostel – 5% Off (Bali, Indonesia)
Perhaps I’ve saved the best for last with a 5% discount on the most incredible hostel I’ve ever seen! Tribal Bali is exquisite – I mean, the rain shower heads are enough to write an essay about, and the coworking space is second to none.
But it’s more than that – the on-site restaurant not only chefs up delicious and nutritious local and Western faves but the bar makes cocktails that are to die for. There are plenty of chill spaces to take a break in, including a pool that somehow always gets a bit of sun and a spiffy billiards table.
Tribal is often booked (for good reason) so there’s no better time to lock in your Bali trip at the best hostel on the Island of the Gods than during this deal!
