Was an amazing time in Elephant Hostel. It’s the most beautiful hostel I've ever been. You have everything what you need to be confortable. What I like the most was the privacy in the rooms. You don't feel like you are with 16 people. Thanks for everything!

The location was absolutely perfect, the staff were helpful & friendly. They even kept our bags after checkout, at no cost, so we could continue sight seeing before departure. The bathrooms were always very clean, stocked up with towels and hot water. The rooms were exactly like in the pictures, tiny but perfectly for staying in the city. Thanks so much!

The hostel itself is very cool. It feels very lively from the moment you get it, and it has the Amsterdam vibe to it. The staff was very friendly and their English was spotless. The room was very quiet and we could rest without any issue. It was 8 of us who were supposed to travel, but one person did not make it in the end and the staff did not charge for their tourist fare, which I thanked a lot. All of us received a key to the room without an extra charge. We used a three-day public transportation pass, so the hostel being relatively far away from the city center did not oppose any problems (it takes around 20 or 30 minutes to reach the Central Station if I am not wrong). There is one supermarket and some restaurants nearby, and the place is located in a safe, residential area. We would stay again without any doubt.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
