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 :)

Wonderful place to stay while getting oriented to the city. Everyone was very nice and helpful, and our family of four felt comfortable and at home. Location is perfect—train station and restaurants right nearby; easy walk to city center—and the hostel itself has plenty of pleasant spaces to land Definitely a lot of stairs (on the steep/short tread depth side), which caught us off-guard with heavy luggage, but we managed and it was definitely worth it. Accessibility issues could be challenging at other times.

It is conveniently located right near the train station as well. I would definitely recommend the hostel for your stay in Maastricht.

Cleanliness was great; but for a “hostel”, this was quite pricey. I have stayed in hostels in Europe before, & they offered more for a lower price. A towel should have been included at least. Also, no shower curtain was strange-hard to keep water from going outside of the “drain area”, no matter how low I kept the pressure & aimed it away from the opening. We brought our own small towels, but needed them to dry ourselves, not the floor. I do understand many people waste water and towels, but we do not. Staff was great, the place was clean, & in a great location.

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.

A hostel for everyone!c

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
