    If there's noise then the sound isolation is all the way there.

    Very high value for the location, friendly staff, always available, didn't have any problems personally. Very interesting space too, but as interesting as the space is, it's underground and on the tighter side, some people might struggle with that.

    I think that guests should be explained how a hostel works and set times for using the facilities.

    When we booked we expected to have a private bathroom. But all bathrooms are in the hallway, so pretty much accessable to any guests. But they were clean, so it worked out at the end.

    Location was absolutely perfect, walking distance to the most sites in the center. A lot of restaurants in the area. 10 min walk to the main train station. Keep in mind that since the hostel is in the basement of the old building it is very quiet, but maybe problematic for claustrophobic person. The owners are very friendly and helpful.

    The private room for two had a window facing the corridor, so there was too much light in the room at night, as the corridor light stayed on throughout the night.

    The host was kind. The location is also great and in general, it's good value for the money.

    I have stayed in the most basic of hostels before and not had an issue with the standard as you get what you pay and basic is all you need when doing city break. We booked one of the private rooms which happened to be the first room on the corridor next to the dining/bar area. Firstly the walls are brick, the room had no windows and was not fully sealed so had the corridor light, which was constantly on through the night, beaming into the room. We were given two hand towels as bath towels. Not a great start but the worst was to come. The lady on the night shift had two young kids running about and screaming from 11pm into the early hours. When they finally went to sleep she, on both nights, decided to have a late night chats on the phone past 1/2am and loud is an understatement. Then if it couldn’t get any worse, she would clean and scrub the bathrooms at 3am which woke us up. We did not sleep for two nights so ended up leaving early and booking another hotel for the final two nights of our trip. Spoilt the experience. Avoid at all costs.

    Location was central

    First, it's a factuality in a basement with no windows and proper ventilation. All bathrooms are shared and it's not cleaned regularly. 2nd, the whole basement is like a huge big room that is divided into the room area and bar/restaurant area. In the room area the rooms are divided with cheap wood boards that just protect you from views and physical disturbances. But you hear everything, even when someone's snores and opens his luggage. But that's not the worst: The family, yea a family lives basically there more or less, is very chaotic and unprepared. When we came the room wasn't even ready and they didn't checked how much days we stay. They probably thought we stay less than we booked and wanted us to make pay for a night we already paid. For each night, breakfast is actually included but they said it's just for the first night. But after they find out we actually paid for all nights they insisted that we pay for the breakfast additionally. So one of them went with us to receive the cash at the ATM because they didn't had a POC. I gave them the money without realizing i paid 50% fee for the ATM withdrawal she proposed. Basically we paid for a breakfast double and feed for that too. They scammed us.

    The location is very central, but that's it.

    Not for the claustrophopic. Have to ask someone to open the main building door everytime you have to come in. Difficult to find from street level as no signs. Ventilation, airflow and lighting could be improved. Emergency exit plan? You get what you pay for.

    Close to the city centre.

    I just loved my stay here because of the fact that the location and Customer Service satisfaction given to me by legendary manager Mr.Alex , he is among such type of gentleman that hospitality sector and tourist destination like prague should be proud of ... the level of support we had was amazing... Mr.Zyman is also excellent person and very supportive and available all the time , Mr.Alex welcomed us with a smile , his punctuality and highly proffesionalism is remarkable and unforgettable that touches my heart . the owner should appreciate such a blessed personality like Mr.Alex . the guests living with us were also top notch and i made great friends like Mr.Travis there . our prague visit was evergreen and our stay at alba hostel was memorable , safe secure feel like home supportive staff centre location higine maintained throughout the stay I mean I would like to go back to this place again and will share my delightful experience about this place in my entire group of friends having around 1000 frequent travellers in it .

    The entrance is unclear, there are no signs and the hallway is full of trash bins. It's underground, the air is hard to breathe and I couldn't imagine spending a night there so I left.
