What guests think

Travellers describe The Green Elephant Hostel & Spa as a community-style hostel with a convenient location near the station and centre, praised spa facilities, and a breakfast many enjoy, including vegetarian and vegan options, at generally good value.

Rooms range from private en suites to pods; guests like comfortable beds and distinctive design, but note small or stuffy spaces, some street or structural noise, thin mattresses, occasional heating issues, and toilets not always in the room. Cleanliness is mixed: many find rooms and shared bathrooms clean, while others report dirty toilets and uneven upkeep in common areas. Facilities stand out for a well-liked spa/sauna, plus a relaxed courtyard and on-site drinks; some reviews mention nearby parking can be difficult or costly. Expect a sociable, well-located stay with strong service and amenities, but variable room size, noise, and cleanliness.

The place was clean and beautiful, with a garden, living rooms, free tea service all day long, and friendly multilanguage staff. Parking is a nightmare. There is a parking lot very close, but quite expensive. Good thing you can use a bike or skate boards from the hostel, and if you have a car you can park for free in the street from 8pm till 8 am

Absolutely enjoyed my stay here. The room was so comfortable and everyone was so respectful of being quiet. The front desk staff were also very friendly. I only wish I had brought a swimsuit so I could have enjoyed the spa, but did not think of it. It is also very conveniently located by the train station. I would absolutely stay here again.

Dette er ikke et ordentlig hotell, men en sovesal med «madrassbokser», delte bad og toaletter. Ingen heis, lange ganger og tungvint låsesystem med fare for å låse seg ute. Liten eller ingen komfort. Vanskelig å få sove. Enkel, nesten vegansk og lite smakelig frokost som også var forsinket. Elendig kaffe. Lite høflig og lite forståelsesfull resepsjon. Krevde i utgangspunktet tillegg for både håndklær og MC-parkering, men ga oss likevel det (ikke så rart, når man har betalt 150 Euro for en så dårlig overnatting, kanskje?)

The pods are a very unique accommodation option as each was a decent size. The shared toilet and bathroom was always clean and stocked. I was lucky to have respectful (mostly) neighbours after midnight - 7am The spa area is amazing! I had this to myself for 1hr out of my 90min session and it was so good for the muscles before bed.

We had a great stay here for one night with our 2 dogs, unfortunately as we booked it just 2 hours before arriving we couldn’t stay longer. We’d definitely come back next time we are in town! We were very warmly greeted and our dogs got treated with a peanut cookie on arrival and as it was my partner’s birthday we even got a beer as a welcome drink. The room was super cozy with a bathtub in it. Breakfast was vegetarian and the spreads were so delicious. A courtyard was available where the dogs could run off leach and also do their buisness, if you travel with your dogs I would very much suggest you stay here as it’s one of the best hotels we’ve stayed at with our dogs.

The hotel is within walking distance of the centre and around the corner form the station. The hotel has a great concept with the differing accommodation that it offers and I can highly recommend it.

Mooie kamers, goed ontbijt en een sfeervolle plek. Zeer geschikt met kinderen! Ook gelegen op een leuke plek. Alleen voor de prijs hadden sanitair en algemene ruimtes echt schoner moeten zijn. Vooral de (eigen) toilet was erg vies.

My husband and I had a lovely stay at the Green Elephant! They offer a good variety of food at their breakfast for a reasonable cost, but they also had a kitchen in the basement here we could prepare and store our own food. They also have a coffee machine that was free to use between 7am-11am, whether or not you paid for their breakfast. We stayed in one of the pod rooms and were impressed with how comfortable and surprisingly spacious the beds were. At this hostel, there were people of all ages, families, and

Zeer goed ontbijt, goede bedden. Hostel zag er ook leuk en modern uit. Wel veel straatlawaai als je gewoon bent van met een open raam te slapen.

The Green Elephant was for me a community setting in which i found it pleasant to reside. A community environment brings strength of heart and joy of mind. The breakfast was outstanding and well worth the price. You would be pressed to find a more helpful staff.

Dette er ikke et ordentlig hotell, men en sovesal med «madrassbokser», delte bad og toaletter. Ingen heis, lange ganger og tungvint låsesystem med fare for å låse seg ute. Liten eller ingen komfort. Vanskelig å få sove. Enkel, nesten vegansk og lite smakelig frokost som også var forsinket. Elendig kaffe. Lite høflig og lite forståelsesfull resepsjon. Krevde i utgangspunktet tillegg for både håndklær og MC-parkering, men ga oss likevel det (ikke så rart, når man har betalt 150 Euro for en så dårlig overnatting, kanskje?)

We had a great stay here for one night with our 2 dogs, unfortunately as we booked it just 2 hours before arriving we couldn’t stay longer. We’d definitely come back next time we are in town! We were very warmly greeted and our dogs got treated with a peanut cookie on arrival and as it was my partner’s birthday we even got a beer as a welcome drink. The room was super cozy with a bathtub in it. Breakfast was vegetarian and the spreads were so delicious. A courtyard was available where the dogs could run off leach and also do their buisness, if you travel with your dogs I would very much suggest you stay here as it’s one of the best hotels we’ve stayed at with our dogs.

Wir hatten etwas Probleme mit der Heizung, aber es wurde uns eine Notlösung angeboten, welche uns die Nacht erträglicher machen könnte. Als Entschädigung wurde uns das Frühstücken nicht in Rechnung gestellt☺️

Overall a nice hostel. I had a privat double room and the AC was a life saver! I’ve stayed at a lot of youth hostels so this family oriented hostel was a bit different. I missed the feeling of community that you sometimes get in a hostel, this is more like a less fancy, but still fairly nice, hotel. Had a lovely stay and can’t complain about the price :)

Very friendly staff. Nice welcoming with a choice of vodka shot or a smoothie. Nice room, double room for 1 person. Clean. Air condioned. Nice bathroom with well functioning shower. Simple but very good breakfast buffet. Coffees, tea, juice, milk, cereals etc. Nice gem was a pancake machine! A must try, just push the button and it makes two small pancakes.

Pros: coffee/ tea and fruit, welcome drink were a nice touch Cons: hospitality of the staff was lacking, digital check in system didnt work and the front desk/ employee didn't help. 3rd floor dorms and pods had poor noise reduction, ground vibrated with every footstep, sliding doors felt like things were being slammed, noise carried everywhere and people didn't respect quiet hours, loudly running and chatting through the halls at 4am. Reached out to hotel per their sign to help address it but they ignored the calls and messages

The rooms are very cool for budget traveling. You get a little wooden cabin inside a larger room. Ours had two beds atop eachother but unfortunately no private bathroom. Bathrooms are ok but not great (like a hostel). Community areas are very nice.
