    • Great Hostel to have fun and meet new people. Very nice atmosphere. It's been an unforgettable experience. Thanks to hotel employee for doing my stay there better:).
    • Close to city center
    • Best hostel experience I’ve ever had. The staff is so fun and friendly. Went on back-to-back pub crawls and had the time of my life; making friends with people from every continent, excluding Antarctica. I couldn’t have written a better script for my stay in Bratislava. The underground club at this hostel was better than the actual clubs in Bratislava. Not even debatable ?. Killian, Jack, Ben, UK guy with the mustache and glasses (Bobby?) know how to lead a pub crawl the right way. The whole crew was epic, I just forgot their names ?. Everybody deserves a free beer for giving this Bama boy the time of his life in Slovakia. It will be hard for other hostels to the experience I had here. Their ability to party hard and keep the rooms and facilities immaculate is supernatural.

    Cons -

    • When we arrived the kitchen was a mess full of trash. A lot of things were not organized in the kitchen
    • Lack of stripper poles
    • The toilette could have been cleaner. Beds didn't have curtains.

    The location was perfect.

    After 900 km driving i arrived to hostel ,i was refused for my age

    The hostel is new, huge and clean. It’s in a great location and has a rooftop bar/patio.

    Wild Elephants is a great hostel but it’s huge. It felt a bit impersonal and difficult to meet people if you don’t drink.

    7BenPosted on: 7-19-2025

    The location is excellent — you don’t need any transport to visit the main attractions. Everything is just a short walk away: downtown, monuments, and other interesting places are all nearby. The staff are very friendly and helpful. There’s also a convenient place to leave your luggage after checkout so you can pick it up later.

    The bathrooms are not clean, and there aren’t enough of them for all guests.

    Showers were fine. Location was central.

    This place was not for me. My age is in the upper end of this hostel's age range, and I think they should lower that from 40 to 30. This is a place for very young travelers who perhaps care less about comfort or facilities. Hostel will tell guests to wear a plastic wrist band at all times during duration of stay. Air conditioning was "broken" during summer, single loud portable fan was provided to large 16+ bed dorm, beds had no privacy curtains, drunken noisy antics typical of a "party hostel".

    Great party hostel made amazing friends along the way, like Gus, Lauren and Jamie just to name a few

    9SamehPosted on: 6-4-2025

    Clean and Well organized place giving access to nice community of travellers. They have a lot of strict rules but that is what creates a nice stay for everyone

    However I think they separate visitors in rooms based on race, or where we come from which is blocking integration somehow. Also the toilets are not enough compared to the number of available beds and doesn't have locks from inside!!!

    10MohammadPosted on: 5-20-2025

    This is my third time staying here and it’s still my favourite! The location, cleanliness, and vibe are all great, but the staff and activities really make it special. Always friendly, welcoming, and I’ll definitely keep coming back!

    My stay in the hostel can be described with a haiku I wrote.Leaf taken by windSilence blasted by many,Basement shaken. 'CHUG!'

    9KaiPosted on: 4-22-2025

    Cheap price, great location, nice roommates.

    10BarsheekPosted on: 4-22-2025

    A fabulous hostel to stay at if you’re looking to socialise and experience Budapest the best way you possibly can. Super friendly staffs with a gem of a terrace to meet strangers from all over the world to party with. A 10/10 anytime! Be sure to be entertained throughout, so what are ya waiting for, book this hostel without a second thought!Would love to be back again #mm3 forever

    Absolutely nothing to not like about

    Terrible mattress and pillow, showers and toilet

    10BryanPosted on: 4-12-2025

    My "wild" days are over, but I had a great time - and never felt out of place (besides you know, being sober at 2:00 in the afternoon). JAKE is hands down one of the greatest people I've met in my travels. ANDREW is the "good kind of crazy" and I love him so much! Keep an eye on him though (jk, sort of...). SAM is going places in this world, so enjoy him while you can. ALBERTA is Bratislava's hidden gem, excellent taste in local cuisine too!

    9BenPosted on: 4-10-2025

    I had a wonderful time at this hostel! The atmosphere was fantastic, with a clean and comfortable environment. I especially enjoyed the calm and relaxing vibe that made my stay even more enjoyable. The location was also perfect, close to main tourist attractions. They also have a fantastic program, which added a lot of value to my experience.

    The only issue I encountered was that the outer door closes at night, and guests can’t come and go freely. After returning late from an evening out, I had to wait for reception to open the door, which was quite embarrassing. I hope they improve this by installing an electronic door and providing guests with a key or access code for more convenience.

    Great location, very comfortable beds, one of the most comfy mattresses, love them!Hostel has a good vibe, there is an area for drinking games, but quiet hours are ensured.The hostel is tidy and clean.

    10BenjaminPosted on: 4-8-2025

    A very social hostel right in the middle of the city. Great to meet new people and get to know the town and the Slovak cuisine at the same time thanks to the daily activities. The staff and volunteers create a fun and friendly atmosphere and are ready to help and assist 24/7. I particularly enjoyed the afternoon trip to Devin Castle with Sam, the pub crawls with Andrew, and the Slovak lunch and general helpfulness of Ester. That being said, the whole team is clearly dedicated to providing guests with the best possible, yet affordable, travel experience in Bratislava.

    Nothing to complain about - everything was perfect.

    Amazing hostel with the best vibes in town. Extended my stay to stay longer. All the people that work there are so friendly. Day and night time group excursions. Sam was so fun and took us on a trip to the Devin castle. And Yael was a sweetheart and so much fun on the nights out. And very comfy beds
