After MUCH deliberation, in order to protect the health and safety of our Guests, Staff and Community, we have decided to CLOSE the hostel for the season .
We hope to re-open on April 29th :)

Visit. Explore. Stay.
Welcome to Black Elephant Hostel! We are proud to be the first hostel to open in Portland, Maine! We truly believe in affordable travel and LOVE the social environment that hostels create. It is not just where you travel to - but who you meet along the way and the experiences you have together. We strive to provide a comfortable and creative living space for all travelers, young and old.
VERY CLEAN
