Travelling with nothing but a backpack and putting down a little bit of money for a bed for a few nights don’t seem that great. But if you listen closely you might hear the vibrations of music pumping through the walls. Hostels are not just known anymore for their cheap accommodation, but for their party lifestyle. So here are 5 of the wildest party hostels from around the world.
