The Elephants Hostels Bratislava

Hello, and welcome to our Worldpackers profile! First of all, thanks for checking us out, we LOVE the attention ;)

Secondly, we run two social hostels in the heart of Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia. Both provide unique and memorable experiences, and although they are technically different hostels, we are a team and they offer similar adventures. While this place is our relaxed, homely and quaint hostel, which has won best hostel in Slovakia two years in a row - it provides that little bit extra ✨spice✨. This place is, wild. We party hard and we love to go a little crazy at times. Ultimately, both are social hostels, run by, and for backpackers, with a strong emphasis on socializing and community. We love creating new connections, forming lifelong friendships and generating invaluable memories. We are inclusive, open-minded and forward thinking! We have no space for bigots, fascists, or racists, but no matter your social battery, we have a place for everyone else!

We are currently looking for volunteers to help us with housekeeping, reception, bar, and putting on various activities.

In order to socialize and engage, we organize many different social activities every day, such as group 'Slovak' lunches, visiting landmarks and museums, thrift shopping, sightseeing, hiking, and lake swims! Some of our activities are a little bit cheekier, like IKEA hide and seek, dance classes, historically inaccurate walking tours, and trivia games! We offer our guests a homemade meal every day and one of our volunteers signs up to be the chef - the meals are required to always be vegan (as it's the most inclusive meal type), made with love and ultimately, delicious 😋. At night we run our own pubcrawls which take our guests to some of the coolest (and often cheapest) bars, and clubs, in town. As a volunteer you are of course invited to join everything free of charge!

Our managers were once guests who had truly special experiences and we aim to deliver that same feeling to every guest who embraces what makes us so unique 🤪. We are also travelers, so we know that money can get tight, and therefore we offer several different ways to pick up some extra cash during your stay - feel free to ask us about them when you message!

Our lovely staff is formed from volunteers all over the world - around 15 at a time at each hostel. We also have receptionists and bartenders - positions you can work your way into if you stay with us long enough and have a good work ethic! Our managers are guests turned volunteers turned bartenders and receptionists themselves!
