I had a really good time at the hostel, it has a unique personality! The area where it is located is not the best one but a 15 minutes walk will get you to the old town.

I really enjoyed my stay at this hostel! It had a lot of character, a good breakfast, and it was an interesting place to stay. It was only a 5 minute walk from the bus station Praha Florenc and a 20 minute walk to the old town and new town. I recommend this hostel!!

The staff was wonderful and helpful. The location was great with an easy bus ride to the main attractions and easy connections everywhere. We were very pleased with everything.

It was my fifth time back and after a seven year absence, and it's great to see this awesome hostel is still going strong, and even better that the train line has been removed and a green trail put in its place! I would say that the better Staropramen beer is quite expensive and can be got from the store for much cheaper.

A great hostel. A really warm atmosphere where you can feel at home. The staff are friendly and always ready to give you information about Prague. There's a common room and terrace where you can relax and meet people easily. And a really filling breakfast is included in the price. It's within walking distance of the centre, it's clean and safe. I'd recommend this hostel to anyone and if I come to Prague again, I'll definitely be staying there.

This hostel is great! It was my second time there now, and I just went back to prague because the city is beautiful and the hostel is amazing! Good staff, good atmosphere, great showers and it's easy to get anywhere in town from the hostel. Everyone should stay there, it's just amazing!!!!

One of the coziest and friendliest hostels I've been to. The decor is pretty awesome. Internet is a little spotty though.

Hostel was clean and more spacious and funky than many others I have stayed at. Staff were not super helpful compared to other places though. Location could be better - it's a fair walk to the Old Town, and not close to much.

Internet was absolutely terrible. I had work to get done that I could not do because of the spotty wireless. However, the location was great and the staff fairly helpful. I would definitely stay here again.

Nice value for money hostel. Decent rooms, showers, common rooms. A bit weird and annoying that there's smoking inside the common room. Internet sometimes works sometimes doesn't. Definitely not a party hostel.

Hostel Elf was very fun! The staff was very easygoing and helpful, and the prices were great. Excellent atmosphere as well, and not too far from the city center.

Centrally located, friendly and helpful staff, awesome value for what you get. Breakfast was simple but there was more than enough for everyone (plus you can use the kitchen when it comes to that). Thin blankets and squeeky beds is what you get when staying at any hostel, on a plus side the heating worked, so no complaints here. All in all, I'd recommend Elf for it's location, friendlinesss and free brekkky!

First of all I want to thank whole staff from elf hostel, You are doing good job and create nice atmosphere out there! What I would definetely change is that funny smell in the corridor near the rooms, another thing is ventilation, in the room for 11person,there for sure have to be better ventilation, bacause during the night and in the morning the smell is not so nice, and there is no air in side!Other thing is breakfest, it is nice, but maybe you should change menu from time to time.

really loved the stay overall. the only thing I was super confused about were the "lockers" in the rooms- there was no back to them. made the lock useless- you could literally move the unit forward and steal anything out of the cube.
