Feel free to skip to a handy map with all party hostels pinpointed.
1. Africa
Let’s be honest; there isn’t a huge party scene in Africa when it comes to hostels. Yet that doesn’t mean there isn’t a good time to be had on this continent.
We searched high and low and we discovered that South Africa and Morocco are the two best African countries when it comes to finding fun, social hostels.

Party Hostels in Cape Town, South Africa
Lucky for you, we only went and found two great party hostels in Cape Town. They are:
- never@home
- ONCE in Cape Town (closed)
Check out our full guide to the best hostels in Cape Town.
1. never@home (Cape Town)
What’s the best part about never@home? It has to be the quirky named Randy Warthog bar and grill.
It overlooks the hostel’s swimming pool and sundeck, and serves mouth-watering meals you just have to try.
Some of the weekly events include daily happy hour, beer pong tournaments and pool competitions.

2. ONCE in Cape Town (Cape Town)
Update: This hostel has permanently closed. Bummer!
Sleep, eat, explore – that’s the motto at ONCE in Cape Town.
The beauty of sleeping here is that you’ll have the chance to party hard and enjoy a good night’s sleep.
It’s located in the Kloofstreet area, full to brim with famous bars and clubs that love to party all night long.
Back the hostel you’ll find 3 restaurants, including a gourmet burger joint and a hip cafe, a meditation area and outdoor-firepit.
Party Hostels in Morocco
You might not initially think of Morocco as a good country for finding party hostels. And to be honest, you’re not completely wrong.
One thing to know: alcohol consumption is prohibited (it’s an Islamic country).
Whilst they aren’t home to the craziest parties in the world, you can still have an awesome time here. Just swap alcohol for shisha and partying for intimate dinners.
Here are 5 secret things to do in Marrakech when you’re not partying.
Check out these options:
- Waka Waka in Marrakech (Closed)
- Riad Verus, Fes
Read our guide to the best hostels in Marrakech for more helpful info and tips.
CLOSED: Hostel Waka Waka (Marrakech)
We certainly recommend staying in this ancient palace during your time in Marrakech.
The staff at Hostel Waka Waka host a daily routine of music and entertainment in the large, bright communal spaces which includes a rooftop area.
Heck, during the day you can even try your hand at cooking a Moroccan banquet in the kitchen!
Choose to enjoy the atmosphere with a cup of local mint tea or a cheeky shisha – the choice is yours.
2. Riad Verus (Fes)
Again, this is not a party hostel! So why include it here?
- It’s simply gorgeous
- It’s safe & has caring staff (Fes is renowned for scams)
- It’s social
Fes does have hotels and clubs that offer alcohol and a party if you fancy it – just ask the staff at Riad Verus where they are.
Otherwise, join in the weekly family dinners and get chatting to people over breakfast. It’s certainly the best hostel in Fes for meeting travellers.
