Liked: It is super near to the bus stop (Praha, ÚAN Florenc), not really far from center, just 20 min walk. Staff at reception is nice and there is free tea and coffee for 24 hour. Hair dryer can be borrowed and the inside of the hostel is pretty.
Disliked: You have to climb the stairs before getting to the reception, so people with heavy luggage should bear this in mind. The toilet and bathroom had a sewage smell.

Liked: Situated in Zizkov area in easy 10 minute walking distance of the metro and international bus station. Plenty of non tourist and cheaper bars and eating places to frequent. Very friendly place to come and go as one pleases. In good weather the outside BBQ area and garden is great. There is a very handy 24 hour shop directly opposite the hostel entrance on Husitzka Street.
Disliked: Long climb of steps to the entrance from the street ?

Liked: Chilled out and relaxed. Met awesome people here, great way to meet people, many of them from Europeans (rather than US/AUS/Cananda). Bus stop outside hostel takes you straight into town.
Disliked: Nothing. Tough to find first up. The pub crawl people a little pushy at times.

Liked: During my stay at Elf Hostel I particularly enjoyed the friendly atmosphere and the fact that there were always so many nice people to talk to.I also liked the general vibe of the hostel,which was really fun.Finally,the bathroom and toilette were always clean and the (free) breakfast was really helpful,even though there was not much variety.
Disliked: The only drawback that comes to mind is that the hostel is not placed near the old town center,which is about 15 minutes away on foot.However,it is pretty close to the main train station and there is a bus line to the center with a stop right next to the hostel.

Liked: Hostel Elf was a great place to meet other travelers. The rooms were all clean, and having a locker available to you was great (just make sure to bring your own lock!) They also served breakfast every day, which is a plus if you're on a budget, and had a free bbq on two of the nights I was there, though I think they offer it three times a week.
Disliked: It is a bit of a walk from the main parts of Prague, including the train station, so just be ready to walk. Also there is no lift, and about 100 stairs up to the property.

Liked: The staff is very friendly and helpful, the breakfast is very rich and you can take as much as you wish. The BBQ is nice because it's free and the atmosphere is good for meeting new people. They offer hair dryers and iron machines.
Disliked: Doing the laundry costs a bit too much. The lockers in the room were wooden closets that were a bit beaten up so if you weren't carefull your stuff could fall into the lower locker.

Liked: Really fun and crazy atmosphere- free bbq on Thursday nights. Large hostel with lots of shared areas to meet people. Really cheap beer. Staff are really friendly!
Disliked: A little far away from the centre but a pleasant enough 20min stroll. The wifi did not work in the rooms or the lounge area and had a very slow signal anywhere else.
