The card machine was down at the time so had to pay a fair bit in cash, but the staff never pressured us into paying asap. (We did it the day we left )

Staff and facilities were amazing, went as a group of 10, 8 in a shared room and 2 in a private both were clean and perfect. There's an amazing pizza shop next door. It'll take you about 25 min to talking into the center of old town, but it's a nice walk.

Very close to down town but looks a little dodgy

All services were good, and very friendly

They need to provide towel and even shampoo for the travelers, in addition to this, staff needs to check the toilets more often. Lastly, when you check-out, staff needs to change the blankets and bedspread.

The location is very good, 15 minutes walk to the train station/bus station(parking) othe buses is just 1 minutes away. Kitchen is useful, staff was helpful, check-in and check-out is very easy, can be done anytime 7/24 hours.

The location wasn’t in the absolute center but still pretty accessible by 10/15 minutes of bus/tram

The staff was amazing and very nice. I would like to give a shout out to Anna from the reception as she was super sweet and helped us and accommodated us at every step. Loved the terrace aswell.

The breakfast schedule was not respected and if you went "too late" (although within hours), the staff would not allow you to eat whatever she had already cleand (I was only allowed to eat cereals, beans and eggs and they removed the beans and eggs right after I served myself, one hour before the end of scheduled breakfast time). The bathrooms had not the best light and when crowded the hostel became quite noisy. Some activities were scheduled by outdoors (bbq), which is not ideal in December.

The bed was comfortable, the facilities were cool and clean, kitchen well equipped and a small convenience store just in front of the hostel. The city center is walkable distance

Breakfast option would have been great but they didn’t have any.

Socialising here was amazing. Lots of activities, colourful hostel. Free dinner provided by hostel on Christmas.

A little bit of weird smell in the room

The friendly atmosphere was great!

If you are coming with too much luggage be prepared for the stairs. Besides that, everything was great.

All the facilities, the location was great, the kindest staff and great common areas.

Stayed in August 2023

It would be appropriate to put air conditioning in the rooms in the summer but that's okay

The staff is professional, attentive and willing to help. The hostel is clean, has activities, and guests are sociable.

there were bed bugs in my bed! obviously not the property’s fault however it did impact my stay there and also my next week or so. the staff were great about it and they did all they could do and it was sorted properly.

staff were amazing, privacy in bathrooms and showers, very social and great for solo travellers. also great bar and outside area.

Easy access to The Old Town, nice staff and clean place.

The doors of the toilet and shower room looked almost broken. It was a bit difficult to open, close and lock it.

I liked the terrace area. Most of the staff seemed to be nice. Bed was comfortable.

The stairs were quite treacherous and definitely not accessible for people with disabilities. One of our beds wasn't the cleanest, with some stains on the top sheet.

Nice communal feel, friendly and helpful staff. There was a free barbecue the night we arrived. The shower and bathrooms were very private and we felt safe at Hostel Elf. The location was pretty good. The kitchen had a shared/free food drawer and great facilities to cook proper meals.

It was rather noisy - the walls and doors seemed to be from paper, you hear every step or word from the corridor (and ppl were loud even at night). The room was EXTREMELY small, enough for me to turn around. We got the smallest room but for the price we paid I expected smt better. Even though there were 3 bathrooms and showers, they were occupied 90% of the time and when it was my turn, ppl kept knocking on my door. Another thing - the cleaning lady just came inside our room early in the morning while we were still in the bed waking up! Inside the building there was cigarette smell in the walls, hard to get rid of.

The staff was REALLY friendly and helpful! It was the best thing about the accomodation. For this I give 100/100! Also the location close to the train station. But for anything else you need to take a tram/bus. I liked the terrace, it had a nice and peaceful atmosphere.

Really cool hostel. One of the best I ever stayed. I mostly liked location and facilities.

Inside the room was a bit messy and smelly. The guests outside in the common area were loud on saturday evening (thankfully my room was far enough from them to not hear it). I booked 2 beds and one of the receptionist initially did not want to give my friend the card to enter the room, saying that it was enough to use one card for two people which i find absurd, considering waiting time at the toilets or that we simply may have different plans for the day. The next shift at the reception i got a card for my friend without problems so she could be independent. Some beds do not have curtains and they are aware of it. I find the corridors/interior a bit dark in comparison to the rooms. Overall the hostel is slightly over-priced in my opinion.

Location close to the main bus station and easy to reach the center. I liked the common room and terrace space. The facilities were regularly cleaned. One of the receptionist was very helpful to try to find a solution for the missing curtain on the bed. A good option for 2-3 nights not too far from the centre

Stayed in May 2023

be aware when booking of the distance from the centre, although this does reflect the price. also had a school trip there when I arrived so felt less inclined to be in the communal areas

the kitchen and bathroom facilities were really good! beds were comfy with private curtains

Stayed in April 2023

Great social environment, cooking facilities and short walk from the bus stop. The staff were super helpful and friendly.

Location is a bit far from the city center (considering Prague standards). However, this is if you are only looking for a walk. By public transport, it is very convenient. Snoring guys and in the middle of the night very noisy packing & moving people in the room but this is not hostel's issue. It is related to the guests in my room.

Staff was always there to help Beds are very comfy Toilets and bathrooms are more than enough and very clean Free tea & coffee all day. Easy public transport

Guy on the reception is very nice and understanding! Tasty breakfast and in general a very clean place!:)
