Hostel Elf Prague

The location of the hostel is very good. Close to the center, to bus stops, central stations. Plus, it has a forest right behind it so it's easy for morning hikes. I didn't have high expectations of the rooms. It has a bed and good thing they added curtains. It would be awkward otherwise.||The staff was always helpful and nice. They helped me with every question I had. The activities they have for the guests are nice. Unfortunately, I didn't took part in many but I can guarantee that it's worth going. ||The floor wasn't that clean but everything else good. If, possible maybe they could add more pillows or just a bigger one. ||It was good and I recommend going there. I do believe in future I would stay there again.

This hostel was such a nice vibe and the managers/staff very welcoming and hospitable. Felt like home. We left late and they let us keep our bags and use the facilities before our bus which was much appreciated. I’ll definitely be back!

The best hostel I’ve stayed at! Very clean. The staff is amazing and super helpful and friendly. A great atmosphere great for socializing and some of the better bathrooms I’ve seen. Literally only thing that could’ve improved the experience is AC but i knew there was none when I booked so no issues at all! Thank you Hostel Elf staff!

Cannot fault this hostel at all! The staff were so helpful and welcoming from the get go. There was 18 of us and they were able to accommodate us perfectly. The rooms, bathrooms and communal spaces are all very clean. They put on bbqs on some nights and have some breakfast bits in the mornings. Would definitely stay here again!

I absolutely loved my stay at ELF Hostel in Prague! It’s super cosy, clean, and has such good vibes. The terrace is a great hangout spot and the staff are amazing—especially Noor, who was incredibly helpful and kind. He answered all my questions and gave me the best local tips that made my trip so much more special. Can’t wait to come back again!

I had an incredible stay at Hostel Elf in Prague! The service was outstanding, the atmosphere was super friendly and welcoming, and the location is perfect. The entire experience exceeded my expectations. I would definitely come back and recommend it to anyone visiting the city. Thank you for everything!

Overall, my stay at the hostel was pleasant; however, I feel compelled to report an extremely unprofessional and unacceptable experience with one particular staff member.||I arrived at the hostel at approximately 2:00 AM. During check-in, the staff member asked where I was from. When I responded that I am from Greece, he replied that he was from "Macedonia." I politely corrected him, noting that the official name is "North Macedonia," as I am from the region of Macedonia in Greece. He immediately became confrontational and insisted—against all diplomatic and factual accuracy—that he was from "Macedonia." It is entirely inappropriate for a hotel employee to engage a guest in a politically charged argument, particularly one rooted in a sensitive and internationally recognized dispute. I was exhausted and chose not to escalate the matter, but his overall behavior was rude, unprofessional, and completely unfit for the hospitality industry.||Unfortunately, the situation deteriorated further when I was checking out in the middle of the night. I was struggling to find a taxi and asked the same staff member for assistance. He claimed he didn’t know any local taxi companies, and then added that he could not call a taxi for me because he "didn’t have credit"—referring, astonishingly, to the hostel’s landline phone. This excuse was both unacceptable and irresponsible. Because of his refusal to help, I was placed in a stressful and vulnerable position and nearly missed my flight as a result.||The individual in question, whom I unfortunately do not know by name, has a beard and long black and gray hair. His overall attitude was dismissive, unhelpful, and entirely incompatible with the standards expected of someone working in a guest-facing role.||I have over 35,000 followers on TikTok and will be making a video to share this experience—not to target the hostel, which overall was lovely—but to raise awareness about the kind of behavior that should not be tolerated in any professional setting. I strongly urge management to take this matter seriously and ensure that all staff are properly trained in professionalism, guest service, and basic courtesy.||Thank you for your attention

The best hostel I have ever stayed at, it has everything you need during a trip. Free internet, free coffee 24/7 and sometimes even free food prepared by their lovely volunteers, the vibes of the hostel in general are amazing I loved every minute I spent there. The location of it is also perfect, super near the main train station, florenc bus station and with a bus stop quite literally outside. There is also a corner store right in front which comes in handy when you want to buy something quick, there is also a lidl super close maybe a 5 minute walk.

The nicest staff ever!!!! I think his name was Ivan, let us check in at 6 am and gave us a place to sleep early. Everyone was very attentive and kind. Will definitely be back! Thank you!!!!

One of the coolest hostels I've ever stayed in. A few friends and I were traveling around Eastern Europe and needed a place to stay in Prague. For $25 USD each (between the 4 of us), we got a 4 bedroom private room. Though the place gave off a grungy, hippy vibe, the place all around was very clean. Service was awesome and very accommodating. There were a ton of other travelers staying here at the time we checked in, which was a little overwhelming at first, but definitely got use to a bunch of new faces always around. The part we loved most about staying at Hostel Elf was how open and chill everyone was who stayed here. The first night, we met a ton of people by just keeping our door open. There was a bachelor party in the room next to us from Hamburg, Germany, so with our door open, they came over to say hi, bringing their liquor over to share. They have hostel events scheduled every day (like a bbq or game night), which is a great way to meet other travelers. They're totally optional, but I highly recommend making one of them. We met so many cool people, which let us following a group from the UK to a boat cruise on the river. It was amazing. Great service, cheap nightly prices, very clean, friendly open environment, and even a open bar with happy hour. It's in a pretty great location, which was not far from the central station. Talk about a travelers paradise.

Really nice hostel with everything you need and really clean. Only two downsides are that it's not located directly in the city centre, a bit to walk and that the cleaning lady starts at 8am, which woke me up several times, but the rest was just perfect and affordable

Lady at the receptionist was very accommodating and rooms/beds were clean. Quiet at night and free breakfast. Awesome place but a little far walk from metro or train. Otherwise would definitely come back

Great hostel. Good service, cheap, good bear, happy hour and always crowded even in low season. But as most hostels don't expect to have a good internet connection.

Amazing hostel, amazing experience here! It's a super cool hostel, incredibly friendly and helpful, and there's cool stuff to do like fusbal, a barbecue, movie nights, free buffet breakfast, free towels and all those little amenities, and it gives off a sort of hippie/loose vibe, but it's freaking dope! Pretty good location, it's near the train tracks, near a good view, and like a 25 minute walk to town, but it's totally worth it. Definitely staying here again if I come again, no doubt. Overall cheap as well. Perfect hostel.
