Featuring a shared lounge, Wild Elephants Hostel is situated in Bratislava's Old Town. The property is around 200 metres from Michalska Tower, 700 metres from Bratislava Castle and 900 metres from UFO Observation Deck. The property is close to popular attractions like Main Square, St. Martin's Cathedral and The Primate's Palace.

The beds were comfortable, and everything was pretty clean. The hostel is huge but that does not prevent people from meeting each other. Despite not really participating in the organized social activities I was very impressed by the fact that they happen. And despite (us ;)) guests being pretty wild elephants the hostel was surprisingly quiet after 10pm (apart from a thud in the kitchen here and there). Also I felt well well received despite being (probably) the oldest dude there.

Hostel Old Town is located in the center of Bratislava, directly above the Bratislava Castle. It offers modern air-conditioned rooms with free Wi-Fi internet connection. The hostel is atypical in its design, it offers privacy and a quiet environment as it does not have external windows, the windows are directed to the inner block, where there is a living tree.

I highly recommend the stay in Hostel Old Town. It is really near the old town of Bratislava, where you don't need any mean of transport to explore almost all interesting places.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Probably the best hostel I’ve ever stayed in Europe. The location is easy to reach from the airport and just a few mins walking to the old town. Plenty of restaurants around, while the street is quite calm. The rooms aren’t exact copies as you would expect in a Japanese hostel, but you get privacy and sufficient space (bonus for introverts!). Facilities are clean and smell nice, so you have a feeling of a 5* hotel. Also, there’s plenty of working space if you’re on a workation.

    This hostel was super clean and comfortable - warm and cosy, with comfortable beds, clean towels included, and super clean facilities - possibly the cleanest hostel bathrooms I've ever seen. The only mess I saw was in the kitchen, and left by other guests, and was cleaned by the hostel. Would absolutely stay here again in a heartbeat. Great location, both the hostel itself and the area felt very safe.

    Safe and clean and ideal location. 15 minute leisurely scenic walk to old town and 15 minute walk to main train station where you can hop on train for less than 3 Euros to visit Trnava, another cheap trip to Nitra or 15 euros to Budapest. Great location if you plan on using the train station. And even then its a nice walk into the old town if you enjoy walking. Decent breakfast.
