The Elephant Hostel in Amsterdam is overall a good hostel that is suitable for both shorter and slightly longer stays. The standard is good and it generally feels clean and well-maintained. The staff is nice, helpful and contributes to a positive atmosphere, which makes the stay smooth and pleasant.
At the same time, there are some improvements that would enhance the experience even further. It would be desirable for the staff to remind guests at check-in more clearly that it should be quiet after a certain time (for example 10:00 PM-7:00 AM, in consideration of guests who are sleeping. Also add information signs, for example in the bathrooms, would also have been good as some guests pack, shower and get ready in the middle of the night, which can disturb others. Since during my six-night stay I woke up three of the nights (multiple time per night) due to noise from other guests in the middle of the night, who chose to pack, shower and use a hairdryer before they headed tobthe airport, which affects the overall impression. Not the staff or hostel fault, information signs would be good
Another improvement would have been to replace the ceiling lighting with more discreet lighting solutions, such as dim wall lamps that turn on in the evening. Currently, many people are woken up by ceiling lighting when someone moves in the room during the night. In summary, it is a nice and well-functioning hostel, but with a few simple adjustments the comfort for guests could be even better.
