frequently asked questions

What is HostelPass?

HostelPass is the first fixed-price pass for accommodation at the best hostels in Europe. Pre-pay for the number of nights you want, book your favorite places from the hand-picked selection of hostels on our platform, and go live your best travel life. It’s that easy (mostly because we’ve done the hard part).

How does HostelPass work?

Once you’ve figured out how many nights you want on your pass, you can use our website to book hostels at any time by selecting your cities, dates, and preferences. We’ll curate and, most importantly, vet each hostel for their overall location, vibe, and cleanliness so all you have to do is show up, have fun, and go explore the city you’re in. Since you’ve pre-paid for your nights, you can keep going (or take lots of little trips) until you’ve used them all. We think it’s cool too.

What can I expect from a hostel?

You’re in Europe for a good time, not a long time. Hostels are a place to make the most of your trip and meet new friends that are down to explore with you. The people you meet in the kitchen, your dorm room, or maybe even the bunk below you usually give the best recommendations, and sometimes they’ve just come from where you’re going. Best-case scenario: you’re both traveling to the same place next and booked the same hostel through HostelPass. And, one more thing… definitely go on the hostel-organized events. You can thank us later.

What can I expect from a hostel?

We’ve explored Europe to discover the best party hostels, designer hostels, trendy hostels, social hostels… you name it. If it’s a hostel in Europe, we’ve tried it. We would never put you in a hostel we wouldn’t happily stay in ourselves, and we have high standards. Looking for a more science-y answer? We also use an algorithm that filters through our hand-picked list and combines your preferences for the perfect match. Think of it like Tinder for hostels, but with zero disappointment.
