The Pink Palace is the ultimate party hostel. In fact, it's more like a resort than anything else. Situated on the Island of Corfu in Greece, this hostel has 800 beds, but has been known to "find space" for up to 1100 guests at once! If you stay four nights, the fifth night is discounted.
The rooms are nice. They offer two types: one with air conditioning, nicer showers, and terraces, and the other without. There is maid service everyday that will change your sheets, bring you fresh towels, and clean the bathroom.
Along with your room, you also recieve two meals per day. Breakfast is the best you'll get on your travels. Every morning has a selection of bread, jams & nutella, fruit, coffee and juice, like any other hostel. However, there is also a hot component every morning, something like amazing omelettes, or eggs and hash browns. You also have a choice of cold cereal.
Dinners are three course meals - a vegetable soup, a salad (you get to choose what's on it), and an entree with bread. Then the staff sits you down randomly in tables of 8 people, so you're guaranteed to meet people. After dinner, the hall becomes a dance club. Make sure you're there on Saturday night, for a crazy toga party complete with Greek dancing, Ouzo chugging, plate smashing, and beer races. It's a crazy party not to be missed.
There are a ton of activites available through the hostel including kayaking (with snorkels), ATV rental, massages, a booze cruise (all day cruise with TONS of alcohol and cliff jumping), etc. Internet access is somewhat slow, but affordable.
The Pink Palace is a highly recommended hostel for young social travellers looking to have a good time.
