Avis HOSTEL ELF Prague

professional

Отличный хостел для путешественников, есть пиво/летняя площадка/ дружелюбный сервис и отличная компания людей

Me and my friends were there on a weekend.
Meet good people
Management people are really good and helpful. Good connection to city center via Buses. Lidl is close by, so you can get your groceries from there.

Only one issue - Please get you card payment issues fixed. It costed me 8€ extra as I had to bare the exchange rates

Overall nice and comfortable stay.

Amazing place and close to main FlixBus stop.

Very cool and chill staff. Good location. Being smaller makes it a more comfortable place to hangout and meet people.

Номера сдаются, а там ремонт.

Ideální místo pro ubytování s větší skupinou. Pokoje jsou krásné a čisté, je zde příjemný personál a lokace je perfektní. Rozhodně doporučuji, celá skupina jsem se shodli, že se sem rádi vrátíme.

Such a fun hostel. Great atmosphere - the rooms are comfortable enough, but it is the people and sense of community that really makes this place special

Lieu incroyable ! On fait des rencontres inoubliables dans ce lieu.Vraiment je recommande !

Thank you for a nice holiday stay during Christmas. The service was nice and so was the environment. We praise the Christmas Eve dinner was magical.
Elf Hostel is a short walk from everything and there is a beautiful park with a view of Prague. Thank you

Spokojenost, čistota na jedničku, bohatá snídaně.

Lage ist ganz gut, leider konnte ich nachts nicht ohne Ohropax schlafen, da die Nachtruhe von den "Mitbewohnern" nicht eingehalten wurde. Wir hatten für ein Wochenende ein privates Doppelzimmer gebucht, da Hotels in Prag sehr teuer waren. Beim nächsten Mal würde ich aber lieber mehr Geld in die Hand nehmen und in einem Hotel schlafen. Das Personal war sehr freundlich!

Отличный хостел! Находится буквально в 7 минутах ходьбы от вокзала Florence, что очень удобно, особенно, когда приезжаешь в город ночью.

Обстановка в хостеле приятная, немножко хипстерская, молодежная. Номера чистенькие, постель свежая. Бесплатный чай, кофе и безлимитный вайфай - то, что нужно после долгой холодной дороги.

Отдельно спасибо хочу сказать персоналу. Невероятно крутые и приветливые ребята: с радостью отвечали на все мои вопросы, помогли разобраться с городским транспортом. Да и вообще было приятно поболтать с кем-нибудь о жизни, когда ты одинокий путешественник)

Me and 2 friends spent 4 days in Prague, and we stayed at Hostel Elf.
The location is not far from city center, the rooms and bathrooms were properly clean, and the kitchen has all the tools needed to cook every meal needed.
Nonetheless, I think what stands out the most about Hostel Elf is the staff. We were always properly received by everyone, and there was even a free dinner in one of the days we spent there. A special thanks to Ben and José, who made sure we had a great time, and were one of the best staff people I’ve came across the different hostels I’ve been.
I’ll for sure come back, it was a pleasure!

Great vibes while traveling. Tight spaces but feels cosy.

Vůči ceně odpovídající kvalita, ale naprosto špatná lokalita, ve 3 ráno pod okny vyřvávají ož*alci a úchy*áci, co chodí do nedaleké
er*tické kabinky.

Hi

Visited Prague for the weekend and stayed at hostel elf. The staff was amazing and welcoming. There was a free dinner ben cooked and everyone sat down together to eat which made it really easy to meet people. Loved staying here. Definitely recommend

We were here with a large group. The staff were very accommodating and helpful to ensure that we had a comfortable stay. Big up to Ana, Hamze, and Ben for the great time!

Easily my favourite hostel I’ve stayed at. From the rooms to the service to the welcoming staff, I had an amazing time staying here. Great for solo travellers as there’s almost always something going on in the common area. If you’re lucky enough to stay there while Ben is working there you’re almost guaranteed an awesome night of fun. Free dinners for the whole hostel on Wednesdays and Saturdays too which really gets everyone talking and meeting new people with great food too. Wouldn’t recommend any other hostel while staying in Prague.

Hostel Elf was an amazing place, my friend and I had an amazing stay and we loved it so much that we had to extend it two more nights to keep enjoying the fun. Ben and Egor are amazing workers at the hostel. They are such personable people, Ben cooked amazing meals for everyone and Egor brought the vibes and made everyone feel comfortable. The other workers were so friendly and helpful but these were the ones that I talked with the most.
Such a family vibe at this hostel, everyone always down to chat and hangout which is how it should be. I’m obsessed with this place and the people. I’ll be back.

Great hostel! Great workers and great environment
Very social hostel

Príjemný personál, voňavé obliečky na izbách a čisté a pekné WC a sprchy. Bola som nesmierne spokojná. Čo sa týka interiéru aj exteriéru tak sa mi to veľmi páčilo.

Not a place for young backpackers, super misleading marketing. I had to edit this review as the hostel had it removed, apologies to them if my language was harsh.

Firstly, there is a mountain of stairs with a lot of loose bricks, if you need accesibility, I would go elsewhere. However, they are well lit at night, which was good for us.

The hostel marketing makes it seem like a laid back party hostel on the website, but I was made uncomfortable by two members of staff for silly reasons. All of the planned events were cancelled and they just had a lot of excuses as to why.

The first issue was while checking in, the staff member was just very short mannered. I assumed they had a bad day and left it alone. They got annoyed when I asked if we could pay for another key to the room, they only give 1 key per couple and said, annoyed, this was normal practice, when actually all hostels and hotels we stayed at during interrailing gave us one each. This made it difficult to go toilet/ shower etc. alone and others in our room had the same issue.

The same person who signed us in told us 'this is an area you can make coffee and tea in, everything here is free to use' which is wonderful, but note this for later on.

Second thing was they had booked in a massive group of teenagers and their teachers during our stay...which was lovely...but getting in and out of the hostel, eating breakfast or being in any type of communal space was just impossible. Ladders in the room also injured me when getting up to the bed, super sore and awkward, but otherwise the rooms were lovely.

First night of our stay we asked when breakfast ends, they said 10:30am approx., we got out there at 9:10am and nothing was there, the large group had eaten it all, and the hostel didn't plan past the group. You also have to pay extra if not in a group, groups eat free.

When I asked a staff member, they got annoyed and said 'no, there's nothing left, it is ALL packed up, if you want breakfast get out earlier', to which I replied 'well, what time does it end? We were told 10:30am', to which he replied 'yeah well normally, yes, but now it is 9:30am'. But it was still, only 9:10am.

I have health issues so made coffee before leaving, it's hilly around, and I'd faint without eating/ drinking something.

While making coffee, I see that there is a bin of some bread rolls. In other hostels, bread rolls leftover from breakfast get put in the 'free' area, which we were told this was. I turned to the person I was travelling with and said 'oh there's some bread, will we take one for the trip?' (I feel dizzy before food).

After literally one bite, the same staff member comes literally out of nowhere and said 'eh EXCUSE me? Breakfast is NOT FREE!' I got immediate anxiety and said 'Oh, I, I'm so sorry I thought this was all free'. He just repeats the last sentence a bit louder, so I get my purse and offer to pay for breakfast, and said I tried paying and was explaining how I assumed it was a free area. Also, he had said breakfast was all gone and packed up, so I was really confused, uncomfortable and nervous.

He just repeated again, calmer, 'this time is fine, but it is not free'. I got so uncomfortable I threw away the rest of my roll, as I couldn't eat it and got some shopping bags and left.

We went to the local Lidl where I found out that this person had raised his voice at me for 12c worth of bread. I bought two to replace it, and double checked before making coffee again and avoided the staff member.

Johnny and the man who was doing the night shifts with him, were SO lovely and made everyone feel welcome and put us in a great mood every time we spoke, as a major contrast, they were lovely.

All-in-all, if you need a room, this place is fine. But it is not a laid back party hostel, it's trying to do a lot and it feels like a stingey, unwelcoming place other than the two staff members I mentioned. It has no amenities, no real communal areas, all activities were cancelled and those interactions were not worth the few cent they saved.

Ubytovali jsme se v tomto hostelu s téměř 60 lidmi na konci září (školní výlet) a za sebe mohu doporučit. Cokoli jsme potřebovali, ve všem nám vyšli vstříc, komunikace na výbornou. Pokoje byly docela udržované, toalety a koupelny čisté. Ráno byla před nimi trochu mačkanice, ale bylo nás opravdu hodně. Plusové body dávám i za vybavenou kuchyňku a dobré snídaně. Hostel využívají převážně mladí lidé, musíte počítat se zvýšenou hlučností, ale to k tomu patří. Takže rádi přijedeme i příště.

Неплохой хостел за свои деньги, очень хорошее местоположение, мы ездили на автобусе в любое место по Праге куда нам надо было, а вот с парковкой проблематично, у хостела нет своей парковки даже за деньги пришлось искать рядом. Номера видно, что жизнь там остановилась ещё в 90-х годах, постельное бельё хоть и чистое, но явно его необходимо уже обновить. Обязательно рекомендую посетить парк вечером около хостела, попросите на ресепшене и вам откроют дверь в него, оттуда открывается красивый панорамный вид на Прагу
