If you are traveling with friends this vacation, you would probably want to party continuously day and night. Without the interruption of family members, the holiday would give you the perfect chance to enjoy a lively time with close friends. But which destination or hotel would you choose from the thousands of youth hotels and hostels around the world?

Here is a list of some of the liveliest hotels and hostels in the world. In addition to accommodating only the younger, party going crowd, these hotels are conveniently located in areas where neighbors don’t complain even if you bring the house down.

Surf N’ Sun, Australia: There’s no better place to booze, party and have friendly brawls, than the Surf B’ Sun hostel in Gold Coast. Located close to the beach, the hostel features an outdoor swimming pool and a courtyard apart from the other on site amenities.

The hostel offers free club entry for locals who start frequenting the bar as the evening draws near. Be prepared to party here till you drop from exhaustion.

Base, Australia: Located in classy Melbourne, the Base is a hip and happening place to hang out at, with friends and loved ones (excluding family members). The hotel features accommodation that is located above a bar which tends to get very noisy at night.

There’s no way you can get any sleep at night, for the music played at the bar filters through the floors and can be heard throughout the hotel.Enjoy unlimited drinks and parties along with occasional themed and karaoke nights.

The Clown and Bard, Czech Republic: Located in Prague, this public dorm is always lively and happening. With a capacity to house 36 guests, the hostel features a bar that is open 24 hours a day and showcases live band performances.

With never ending parties, blaring music, drinks and card games, the Clown and Bard is one place that shuts visitors from the sober world outside. Recommended: Ear plugs if you are not accustomed to “over the roof” noises.

Loki, South America: Located in the town of Cusco in Peru, the Loki hotel is a far cry from its outer appearance. Housed in a 450 year old building, the hotel is relatively quieter from outside and you tend to wonder at first as to whether you reached the correct address.

However, step in and a swarm of visitors carry you into the hotel. The open lounge features live music shows, dance parties and themed nights. The bar is usually so crowded that you will hardly have space to move around. Though it might get a bit suffocating at times, moving with the crowd is an altogether different experience and you should try it out.

St. Christopher’s Inn, England: Located in central London, St. Christopher’s Inn is a bustling night hostel that lets you party till 4 in the morning. After enjoying multiple rounds of drinks, visitors can enjoy a steamy bath in the hot tub located on the roof of the hostel.

Kabul, Spain: Barcelona is known for its lively nightclubs and situated in Las Ramblas,  is one of the most visited clubs in Spain. Starting from 7 in the morning, this second floor club keeps the party going on till early morning the next day.

Don’t expect to get any sleep here and even if you do, you will be called a quitter for calling it off early.

The Rising Cock, Portugal: This would not be the apt place to party at if you are not in favor of skinny dips. Located in the resort of Lagos, the hostel is frequented by people who like to get nude and party all day; from the booze cruise in the mornings to drinking games all night long.

The Pink Palace, Greece: Located in the picturesque seaside resort of Corfu, the Pink Palace is one of the most famous party hostels in the entire world and hosts a range of parties and other events to keep the visitors entertained.
