    Cleanliness, matress was too soft (but too bad for 1 night stay).

    Perfect location, fair price, nice concept, friendly staff.

    The staff didn't really speak English and it made stuff a bit confusing but that's alright. In the end we understood each other enough.

    I really liked the location for the price, close to everything.

    Location is perfect, very close to the old town square of Prague. I was lucky because during my stay I was only one guest in the hostel’s room. 😁

    The staff wasn't very informative. I left my luggage in the reception after the checkout, I was told that I could leave it until 6. But they didn't tell me the reception was going to be closed between 11:30 and 12:45. I had to come earlier to pick up my stuff. But the reception was closed. If I had been told about it in advance, I would have brought my stuff with me.

    The location is excellent. And I liked staying in a non mixed room.

    Needed hair dryer but there was no one at reception who can lend it to me after 3pm. Could be great to have an hair dryer in an open area and free of charge. Also there was only one kitchen and it was on the 5th floor, might be great to have one on each floor, even a small one can work.

    Location was amazing! There were enough showers and toilets. It was clean.

    The hostel does not have common areas to interact with other guests.

    It is literally in the city center, right next to the main square. The location is just perfect.

    The room needs a better curtain. The current one let all the light enter the room. A better price would be better

    The staff was very nice and helpful especially the ladies at the reception. Location is fantastic.

    the bed is old and squeaky, the mattress sink in the middle, it was uncomfortable to sleep in. there were also some noisy guests on the first night we were there but luckily they lower down their volume after we shushed them.

    the location of the hostel is great, a mere 1 min walk to the square and few more min to the astronomical clock. the room was also spacious, toilet was clean.

    Excellent location! Right in the center of the old town. All the main sights were 2 to 15 minute walk. There is a shared bathroom (shower) and two toilets per floor. Our room had very thin curtains so keep that in mind if you have trouble sleeping when it’s light.

    Reception is a bit confused. It was close for a few hours during the day, and the luggage was stored in the room next door without any security other than the cameras

    Well located
