When exploring the Netherlands, Maastricht is a must-visit – a truly hidden gem in Maastricht! Our Youth Hotel is the perfect spot for any backpacker or digital nomad. As a world traveler, you’ll immediately notice what sets The Green Elephant Hostels apart from many other hostels: it’s luxurious, spacious, entirely focused on well-being, and provides more privacy in your room than ever before. Even if you’re traveling on a tight budget, there are plenty of options available. Whether it’s a bunk bed, a Tiny Dream House with access to our shared bathhouses Morgenfrisk, or a private room. Additionally, you’ll have access to a wellness area, your own kitchen, a Chill Circle with Netflix, a yoga room, and more. We are a place with a community of digital nomads, conscious budget world travelers, and health enthusiasts who live responsibly. Our goal? To contribute to an even fitter, greener, and healthier world through hospitality. One person at a time. Common sense of being.
