Urban Elephants Hostel

Run by travelers for travelers.

First, as per our policies, we do not accept reservations from guests under the age of 18 or above 40. This information is located prior to your booking under House Rules. More info at the bottom of this message.

This modern yet industrial-style hostel doesn't just offer you a bed in the very best location. We work hard to create a socially inclusive environment where anybody can be themselves and make good friends while joining various daily activities, family dinners (always vegan-friendly), pub crawls, or just being around and chilling with us. It is mainly about experiencing the unexpected.

We encourage you to join our legendary Elephants activities (together with our sister hostel), such as daily events, Slovak lunches, family dinners, and pub crawls. We will show you a side of Bratislava you didn't know existed. We will take you to places off the beaten track that only a few true locals know about, which will allow you to see the city differently. For example, visiting abandoned buildings, conquering castles, or trying some Slovak craft beers in cozy local bars.

Cheers and see you soon!
