5 handpicked hostels in Novi Sad, sorted by traveler rating.
Novi Sad is Serbia's calmer second city, the cultural capital of Vojvodina, and the stage for the EXIT Festival every July at the Petrovaradin Fortress. Stari Grad is compact and café-table walkable; Laze Telečkog is the bar street; Sremski Karlovci 11 km upriver is the wine day-trip. Cheaper than Belgrade, friendlier than most European capitals.

Hostel Novi Sad
Hostel Novi Sad is the city's newest renovated hostel — a 9.5-rated, fitness-room-and-full-kitchen setup on Subotička, 15 minutes' walk from Trg Slobode, with the highest review-quality-to-price ratio in town.
Passenger Hostel
Passenger Hostel is the cheapest well-rated bed in central Novi Sad (9.3 from 554 reviews) — a small home-style hostel run by Zoran (whose name appears in nearly every review), four minutes from the train station and twelve from Trg Slobode.
Brodsky's Cat Art Hostel
Brodsky's Cat Art Hostel is Novi Sad's quirkiest stay — a small art-themed hostel in a historic Stari Grad townhouse named after the resident cat, with a courtyard bar, a sun terrace, and a host whose name shows up in nearly every five-star review.
Varad INN
Varad INN is a boutique hostel-and-café in a 19th-century Petrovaradin townhouse with a fig-tree garden, a wine bar, and the kind of quiet that only exists on the fortress side of the Danube — six minutes on foot from Trg Slobode if you cross the bridge.
Exit Labirint Centar
Exit Labirint Centar is the most central budget stay in Novi Sad — on Bulevar Mihajla Pupina, two minutes from Trg Slobode, with private en-suite rooms and the city's largest hostel review sample (619 reviews, 8.1 rating).
