Serbia
Every hostel-dense city in Serbia. Sorted by the vibes we think you'll actually care about.
The ranked list.
NapPARK Hostel
NapPARK is Belgrade's highest-rated hostel (9.6 from 282 reviews) and it earns that number the old-fashioned way — a small setup, a host (Vladimir) who remembers your name, and an address that's quiet at night but four minutes from Republic Square.
Hostel El Diablo
El Diablo is the homey-party hostel on Strahinjića bana — small enough to feel like an apartment, social enough that reviewers use the phrase 'second home' without irony. 9.5 rating, 145 reviews, and a pub crawl that leaves from reception at 22:00.
Hidden Gem Hostel
Hidden Gem earns the 'quiet' label the hard way — strict house rules, private bathrooms on every floor, and a Simina Street address that's five minutes from everything but sounds like nothing at night. 9.4 rating, 214 reviews, and a reputation as the anti-party hostel in Stari Grad.
The Horse Monument Hostel
The Horse Monument Hostel takes its name literally — the Prince Mihailo statue (the 'horse monument' on Republic Square) is 30 seconds out the front door, and so is every central-Belgrade sight you'd want. Tiny (under 15 beds), owner-run, 9.4 rated with a quirky amenity sheet including an actual bathtub.
San Art Floating Hostel
San Art is a literal boat — a floating hostel moored on the Sava at Ušće, 5 minutes walk from the Novi Beograd splavovi strip and a short bus ride from Republic Square. 9.3 from 556 reviews, and the only Belgrade hostel where your 'rooftop' is a river deck.
Hostel Karavan Inn
Karavan Inn is Belgrade's most-reviewed hostel with 1,023 ratings averaging 9.3 — the big-sample endorsement. It sits on Bulevar kralja Aleksandra in Vračar, which means you're on the tram line to Stari Grad and surrounded by the cheap-eats student scene that funds Belgrade nightlife.
Balkan Soul Hostel
Balkan Soul is the Kosančićev venac hostel — on Belgrade's oldest cobblestone street, 6 min from Republic Square, with the kind of guest kitchen where travelers actually cook together. 9.1 from 697 reviews (one of the biggest samples in the city), and the best budget option with a legit 'historic street' address.
HostelChe Hostel
HostelChe sits directly above Kafana Sal on Kralja Petra — the single most-walked pedestrian diagonal in the Old Town. 9.0 from 557 reviews, a proper rooftop, nightly walking tour or pub crawl depending on the day, and one of the better value-to-location ratios in Belgrade at €19.
