When I arrived no one showed me around nor told me where the kitchen etc. is. Also the kitchen is poorly equipped and the bathroom on my floor lacked paper. The mixed doorm is cold and the shower room for women has big windows which have no curtains. Also not the most clean place I have stayed in (toilet stinks). Also not a social place. But its very central and if you like to explore the city solo in a day or two this hostel should be okay.

The Green Elephant, a place I will never forget. Hamet the manager is a great caring man & makes amazing cocktails. The staff are so helpful & always smiling 😁. The rooms are modern, warm, spotless & the beds are so comfortable. Free coffee & tea all day long. I sat in the central open courtyard with a coffee underneath an ancient magnolia just coming into flower, including cherry blossoms in full bloom gently letting go of their pettles, a calm relaxing 5 star hostel without a doubt.

I had a wonderful stay at the green elephant. I was only here for 2 nights unfortunately but had I not had my flight already booked I would have stayed longer! The hostel was clean, peaceful and the staff were very welcoming. I stayed in the bunk bed pods which were cute and cosy but enough space for me. The hostel is about a 3 minute walk from Maastricht station and about 15 minutes from the centre of Maastricht where you can enjoy restaurants, cafes and gorgeous streets! Wonderful!

Banheiros limpos e bem equipados. Cama confortável. Porém cada noite que eu chegava tinha uma pessoa dormindo na minha cama e tinham que me realocar toda noite. Falta de organização absurda!!! Ainda o gerente foi super grosso e ríspido, como se a culpa de ter gente dormindo na minha cama fosse minha.

Staff were very friendly, and hostel has chill vibes. But I am not sure about daily cleaning of common toilets.

Total gemütlich in den Holzkästen zu schlafen. Schöner Aufenthaltsbereich. Die Gemeinschaftsküche könnte deutlich besser ausgestattet sein. Cool ist der Spa Bereich.

My stay at Green Elephant Hostel couldn’t have been better. The staff was always really nice! Although some of the rooms are quite small, the bed and pillow are super comfy, making you fall asleep faster than expected
