    This is a very cosy place in an extremely convenient location, close to both the city center and to metro. Clean, with good snack options and lots of places to eat nearby. The personnel are wonderful, helpful and supportive.

    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...
