Wild Elephants Hostel

Stayed here for a few nights during Eurovision and had a genuinely great experience. Andy, Andrew, Luc and the rest of the team were fantastic throughout and created a really welcoming atmosphere from the moment I arrived. This wasn’t my first solo trip, but it was my first hostel stay, and it completely exceeded expectations. The rooms, bedding and facilities were all spotless and the whole place felt very well run while still keeping the fun social atmosphere. There was always something go...

One of the best hostels i've stayed at. Amazing place, staff are all incredible. They all go out of their way to make you feel at home and welcome. Would recommend it to everyone.

A true fever dream that never ends, with the funniest people, and a great atmosphere! It'll change you for the better, mostly. Praise to everyone, but especially Rafael for being the epitome of calmness!

This is definitely the interesting side of a party hostel. Honestly staff was fairly rude and clearly very invested in sucking every possible dollar out of you. The events were interesting for sure, assuming nude swims and kinky behavior primarily from staff is something that gets you going. The rooms were decent but got very hot at night and I wouldn’t even recommend stepping foot in the kitchen.

The staff were lovely and very helpful. I stayed in the 12 person dorm and was suprised how spacious and clean it was. There were more girls in there than guys which was nice as a solo traveler woman. The hostel had events everyday of the week in the afternoon and evening. The location was very good, not a far walk from the Old Town. Highly recommend!

Shocked the reviews are so high here. There was weird creepy vibes here from the volunteer staff, seems like a place to just get young female travelers drunk and hook up. The building itself is not great, no bed curtains, no ventilation/openable windows in the rooms so they were so hot, no shower hooks, bad layout to access bathroom and showers, the most disrespectful drunk party vibe people I’ve experienced in over 60+ hostels.

One of the best experiences I've ever had. The people here are lovely, everyone is friendly, and the rooms are clean and cosy. 100% would recommend.

Good hostel👍

First off, huge shoutout to Andy, Luke, Owen, Luisa ,"the Sicilian friend from the bar". They really seem to put in a ton of effort to make sure everyone has a good time and leaves with a great memory. I’d seen a few people mention that the bathrooms/WCs weren’t clean, but honestly, I checked them on every floor at different times of the day and they were totally fine. Clean every time I went. So yeah, no worries there :) Only small downside for me was the river bit boring imo.

Ma chambre de 12 était particulière : aucune fenêtre ne s’ouvre. Il faisait très chaud et l’odeur était gênante. Autre point négatif : le wifi est très souvent lent. Outre la chambre, cet hostel est je pense le plus social que j’ai jamais fait (et j’en ai fais). Plusieurs activités par jours animées par des volontaires et employés très enthousiastes. N’espérez pas vous reposer dans cet hostel, grosse soirée tous les soirs dimanche et lundi inclus.

Absolutely loved the vibe of this hostel! It has such a welcoming, relaxed atmosphere and you instantly feel comfortable. The place is well-maintained, social, and perfect whether you’re travelling solo or with friends. A special mention to KP, she’s incredibly kind, attentive, and goes out of her way to make everyone feel at home. Her energy really adds to the whole experience. Would definitely recommend!

El Hostel estaba bueno en cuando a instalaciones, la habitación era espaciosa, la cama muy cómoda, baños limpios y duchas equipadas. Si es más pensado para gente joven de unos 18-23 años los panoramas de las noches, ya que me cobraron 20 euros por ir a un bosque en el río y tomar jugo en botella ajjajJaa.

Great spot that offers daily activities to keep people occupied. Lively environment and staff is very enthusiastic and kind. Especially Randy. He Goes above and beyond for guests.

very bad 👎

Overall the hostel was acceptable, however I had a very unpleasant experience with one staff member. The internet was not working throughout the building during my stay, so from time to time I came to the corridor near the lobby to use the wifi signal and organize my flight plans for the next day. Around 22:30, the night staff member spoke to me in a rude manner and told me to leave the area. He even turned off the lights while I was still sitting there, which felt quite disrespectful. What dis...

Everything was so dirty and very old. The facilities were dirty and very filthy.

Bro the pub crawls and river parties are insane here. Such a friendly environment. Karla was a 10/10 volunteer. Got me super drunk on pub crawl and the next day she gave me great advice on sight seeing in the city

I had an amazing stay here. The hostel itself had really good conditions, was comfortable, clean and had a great atmosphere overall.From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel welcome and at home straight away, which honestly had a huge impact on my experience. A big thank you to the staff for creating such an amazing experience.

The food is awsome when Andy Purcica is in the kitchen, give him some beer and the spanking as a reward!

it was a pleasure to stay there; people on reception were really helpfull, food was amazing, rooms clean. definitely i’ll be back there. biggest thanks to Andy for his company, bike and being such a helpfull nice person! 💃🏼🏴‍☠️
