The elephant hostel is an absolutely amazing hostel which I highly recommend! It’s in a great area with transport super close-by. The facilities are all great (hot showers, secure lockers, clean+ comfortable beds). They also provide towels and sheets. The common area and food is amazing too, hot chocolate and ham and cheese toastie was always my go-to!! The staff are all lovely and helpful and the reception is open 24 hours a day. Overall, amazing hostel that I will definitely revisit! :)

Well located place, rooms are decently sized and so are the sleeping areas. Enough room for luggage too and staff were great. Social area was a bit on the smaller side and bathrooms were too, but everything worked like it should and no complaints there.

I had a great experience staying at this hostel. It was just as pretty in person. It was clean and the staff was great. It’s right near a bus stop that will take you anywhere. The only thing is the walkways between the beds are kind of slim so it makes getting things in and out of your luggage a little inconvenient but it is a hostel.

I thought The Elephant Hostel was incredible! Everything about it was perfect for my trip to Amsterdam! Very clean & safe facility. The front desk was phenomenal & they even went above and beyond to help print my train ticket for me! If I could give any criticism, it would be that they should add small fans in the corner of the multi bunk beds. We couldn't open any windows, so a little extra cold air option would really make it spectacular!!

Nice clan place with good privacy. Not that social for solo travellers which was ok with me, because I wanted to sleep well (which I did) after an overnight flight. Staff were super friendly and the lounge is nice to read a book and hang out in. Located just outside the tourist centre in a more quiet neighborhood which I liked, and the tram is right by the front door. Gym is small but more than enough for a trip workout. Would recommend this hostel.

I was really pleased with my stay here. The place was spotless, the staff were very friendly and helpful, especially belen and felipe who were very attentive. The rooms were very clean and lockers were super secure as you needed a pass to open them, so I always felt my belongings were safe. Bathrooms were kept clean constantly and the drink/food options were really good too when you wanted to have a little more convenience. Couldn’t fault the place! Thank you!

Such a lovely hostel in a great location. The cubicle beds are very private and cosy (but clastrophobic people beware, cause it’s very tight). The only complaint i’d have is that there was a slightly musty smell in the room, but I think that’s a bit inevitable. The bathroom was convenient and clean, and the shared spaces were nice for hanging around and doing work. I definitely reccomend this hostel!

Gem of Place. Warm and welcoming vibes, friendly staff.. away from the noise and hustle of the central area yet close enough. Clean rooms, clean washrooms. Impressed with the security lockers in the dorm. Stay here if you want to avoid the loud parties and noisy dorms.

No es céntrico, pero está a pocos minutos caminando del mismo. El hostel es muy lindo, el ambiente particular y original. Las habitaciones cómodas, con lockers grandes. Las camas cómodas y con cortinas que permiten descansar sin que nadie interrumpa a pesar del movimiento. Te guardan el equipaje si necesitas más tiempo al irte económico. Y tiene un bar para tomar café o comer algo.
