Compare prices
Balcony Party Hostel sits in the heart of Ao Nang, Krabi, and has built a strong reputation as one of the area's go-to destinations for travellers seeking a social, high-energy stay. The hostel is adults-only and operates as more than just a place to sleep — it functions as a bar and social hub, with communal areas that stay lively from morning through to the early hours. Nightly events, including organised pub crawls, give guests a ready-made way to explore the surrounding bars and meet fellow travellers without any effort. Accommodation comes in both dormitory and private room formats, catering to budget-conscious solo travellers and small groups alike. The location works in its favour, with shops, bars, and restaurants close at hand. Visitors consistently highlight the attentive and enthusiastic staff as a standout feature, noting that they actively contribute to the social atmosphere. The hostel's Google rating of 4.3 from over a thousand reviews reflects broad satisfaction, particularly among those who came specifically for the party experience. Prospective guests should be aware that noise levels are significant — dormitories are not well insulated from the surrounding activity, which is worth considering for anyone hoping to get an early night. This hostel is best suited to travellers who are fully on board with the party-focused concept. Booking in advance is advisable, especially during peak season between November and April when Krabi draws its largest crowds.

Visitor Reviews
We chose this hostel because of the location and the party scene, for which it is famous and have absolutely no regrets! The staff are attentive and made our stay amazing. A particular shout-out to Sophie and Krabi Island Adventures for the best island cruise experience of our trip! The hostel is located in the busiest part of Ao Nang and is surrounded by clubs and bars, which was a major plus for our friends trip, but if you struggle to fall asleep with music around you or are planning to go to bed early, this might not be the place for you (even though they do provide ear plugs on request). If you are, however, looking for a party and a great place to meet travelers, this hostel is the absolute best option!
This is hands-down the best place for a party. The communal areas are buzzing, the music is great, and it’s incredibly easy to make new friends. Whether you’re a solo traveler or with a group, you’ll be part of the family within ten minutes of arriving. Bottom line: If you want a clean room, top-tier service, and the best party vibes in Krabi, book this place. I’ll definitely be coming back! 🇹🇭🔥
Had an amazing stay at this party hostel! The atmosphere is lively from morning till night, the staff are fun and helpful, and the nightly events make it super easy to meet new people. The rooms are clean and comfortable for the price. If you’re traveling solo or with friends and want a social, party-friendly environment, this is the spot.
