    it can be not too clean sometimes , out of that if you take care of your own stuff you’ll enjoy it

    The hostel is perfect to spend a few nights in prague it’s 2 minutes , probably less to old town square , it has everything’s necessary in the kitchen and the staff it’s really helpful

    Well, it seems that cleanliness is not the top priority here. You could find some stuff left under the beds. The kitchen is very small and poorly equipped, so cooking is rather a fallback option. There are no furniture like shelves or wardrobes in the room, so you need to keep your stuff in your luggage.

    Hostel Kafka is perfectly located. One can't imagine better spot, just between the Old Town Market Square and a subway station. The beds are large and comfortable. The elevator is available for guests.

    One of the toilets was semi-broken as well as one of the lights. The showers weren’t the cleanest but they weren’t the dirtiest either.

    I loved that I got a key to get in and could go in and out whenever. The rooms were nice and comfortable and you got a lock and a locker which was nice. It is in a GREAT LOCATION and close to a strip of clubs and bars but not part of the rowdy area.

    The key system is not perfect. You have to carry 3 keys to access your room. Roommates sometimes leave your room open. You can lock yourself inside hostel and have no way out. No breakfast on place. However they sell 5€ voucher for a café nearby. Réception is not 24h

    Nice hostel in the centre of Prague. Walking distance to all tourist attractions. Good public transport, supermarket, cafés, banks nearby. Clean room and bed. Clean showers and toilet. Quiet. Lockers in the room. They give you a towel. VERY nice lady on réception.

    The reception was closed when I checked out around 10am so I could not leave my luggage at the hostel. Since I had a few hours until my train, it would have been helpful if I could store my luggage at the hostel instead of having to drag it around everywhere.

    the location of the hostel is excellent! As a solo traveler, it was helpful to be so centrally located as I knew I could easily reach back. The rooms were cozy and the bathrooms were clean.

    The room, the bathroom and the shower, was not clean. The carpet was old and dirty. I had issues with the bed slats, which were all taped together, and some fell apart during the night. Although it’s not the hostel’s fault, the quiet hours from 10 PM to 6 AM were not respected. Many guests were noisy, and some even smoked in the hallway while talking on speakerphone. Since there’s no staff present, these issues cannot be properly monitored or addressed.”

    The position is perfect the room is really big And even if the staf (in our case)may not seem really welcoming they are Actually quite helpfull if you ask them something

    We got given a dirty unclean room. Although the blonde staff member was really sincere and apologetic. The next day the brunette staff member was so rude to us when we enquired about laundry. Overpriced for what you get. Not really a proper hostel. No events or anything like that.

    Building is dark and run down. There was no one at reception when I arrived at 2pm, and I couldn’t contact the number for help. The lock and key are very old and get stuck often- I was locked out my room many times and couldn’t get help because no one was ever at reception. When someone was at reception, she was very rude and didn’t want to help at all. I was also overcharged for my stay, and even though she eventually (and reluctantly) gave me the money back, she was very rude and angry about it. There is a kitchen but it’s dark and unclean. I only stayed 2 nights so it was fine, but I really wouldn’t recommend

    We had bus very late at night, so wanted to keep the luggage till 8:00 PM in the evening but they allowed only till 5:30 PM. And also while enquiring about that or requesting to extend, staff behaviour was rude, which kind of spoiled the stay experience. They took the key as well so to get the luggage we had to ring the bell for main door and reception will open it. But they open it very late, infact someone was coming outside they opened the gate not the reception. There was no fan or AC in the room, being very hot outside it was very difficult and we had to keep all windows opened.

    Location was good, right at the center of old town. Room size was good for 4 people stay. Kitchen, common shower, common toilet, drinking water, cleanliness, these aspects were good.

    It may be loud on the weekends outside, so consider about this if you looking for a stay in Prague, but overall it's a great place to stay.

    The personal was great, the room was also good for this price. It's close to everything so it's good if you're first time in Prague.
