All reviews appeared too good to be true for this hostel with everyone giving 5/5, but it really is that good. Very cheap, but with free breakfast, amazingly friendly staff, awesome events (every day is themed from pizza to lollipop to movies). We were treated to polish Borscht cooked by Gregory the owner, and as we left given a little... more

Ended up staying 2 extra nights! The staff is amazing! Great value. Comfortable. Location is out a bit but the trams makes it fine. Glad I stayed here! more

My husband and I stayed here for two nights only but were warmly welcomed when we arrived very early the first day from an overnight train. We were even offered breakfast without having slept there.

Stayed here while travelling through Poland, and it was one of the best hostels I've ever stayed at. Felt so at home we actually stayed in for a night, ordered a pizza, and watched a movie with a bottle of wine. Staff is fantastic, and rooms are nice and clean. Would love to come back here. more

This hostel was absolutely wonderful. Elephant on the Moon feels like staying at a friend's home- it is a small, cozy, clean place that is more like a bed and breakfast than a hostel. It takes about five minutes to get to the center of town, but there is good public transport so its no problem. The owner and people... more

Greg and crew were awesomel! My husband and I traveled around Europe for 3 months and during that time stayed in many different hostels, hotels, etc (in 9 different countries). Elephant on the Moon is not your typical hostel. The rates were great, the morning breakfast was just right, the hosts were helpful but not in your face and gave... more
