It's in an excellent location & very easy to find. Self-checkin and self-checkout was very convenient. I had a problem with my PIN code upon arrival, but I called the staff and the problem was fixed in 3 min. It's cleaned regularly, the kitchen and living room had sufficient equipment. I was worried about having 6 people in the room, but it wasn't a problem at all. Overall, excellent hostel experience, great value for money.

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.

Like how easy it was to check in and out. The beds were nice and the rooms were in good size. It is a place I rekomend and would go back to if I would stay in Bratislava again.

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.

    Great location in the center of town, but just outside of the too touristy area. Lots of common areas, luggage storage, kitchen. Good value, true European youth hostel, and free drink from the bar included.

    Since it´s youth hostel you can expect any luxus :D I just stayed one night as I had a morning flight and it was alright. Bathrooms and toilets were clean enough and even though a lot of guests did go to a house party that night, the halls were surprisingly quiet. Overall good place for young people and backpackers as it´s close to the center and also have good public transport connections to the train or bus station.

    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.

    Fast Check in. 10 Minutes by walk from the Airport. Perfect for a Night if your connection flight is on the next day. Clean rooms, furniture more hostel style, but good enough for 1 night. All in all good choice for a short and cheap stay.

    Very comfortable place to stay. Really a lot of showers and toilets on the floor, which is often the biggest problem in this kind of hostel. Clean, safe, calm place, I can recommend to everyone who looks for cheap accommodation but not "party" or "home" atmosphere. It's rather a place where you can rest after long day and have some privacy even when you sleep in a dormitory
