    We booked a private room for a pair with queen bed but what we got was a room with 6 single beds from which 2 of them were joined together. They were not comfortable and not what we expected or payed for.

    Great location, private bathrooms, free option to store luggage

    The man at checkout was very rude and very very unprofessional - especially when we asked to store our luggage. Also the place didn’t feel very clean. Also felt weird that we had to pay in cash for the stay.

    Great location for money.

    There was only one lady at the counter and she was a bit overwhelmed with all the people. They had me almost half an hour waiting before checking me in.

    they don't provide towels! if you need one to take a shower, they will charge you extra. they don't make beds, you have to do that yourself. the currency rate is a bit different from the official. anything you touch is in pretty bad condition.

    friendly environment, cheerful holiday atmosphere; good chance to have a pleasant conversation with fellow visitors while looking for something essential like a hairdrier or waiting for your turn to use the bathroom

    They only accept cash payments. So be aware of that.

    The place is located in heart of Old Town and gives old rustic vibes.

    As it is a old building there is no lift. But it was expected. They have a luggage storage room. But it was mentioned that they do not have any responsibility of the baggage left at storage room.

    The location was very good. Any places you want to visit including the shopping also, are at walkable distance. Even the central bus station was also within reach. The people working there were very helpful. Overall in Prague I found people go extra miles to help a tourist.

    Busy hostel with a perfect central location

    • Double Room with Shared Bathroom
    • Stayed 2 nights

    There were two common bathrooms close to our room, one was proper and clean, but the other one was always filthy and in a bad state. Of course this is not the hostel's fault, it depends entirely on the guests who use it. On our first night, there were quite a lot of people making noise late at night in the common room next to our room, that was a bit annoying but again, not the hostel's fault. It's what youth hostels are like. Our room was not the cleanest, the shelves and the corners were covered in dust, but that's not a huge issue, just mentioning it so maybe the staff can make arrangements to be a bit more thorough in this aspect.

    The hostel is in a beautiful old building, right in the center of the old town of Prague. It's a very busy street, especially at night, but the windows in our room canceled the noise out perfectly, so we slept well (if we were staying here in the summer with the windows open though, I think that would have been a different experience...). The double room was spacious, with shelves and hangers, nice carpets and a small heater that provided enough warmth. The bed was quite comfortable, the sheets were clean. The kitchen seemed well equipped, though we only used it to make some tea in the mornings&evenings. Overall, it was a good place to spend a few nights at. The staff at the reception were very nice to us and they explained everything in detail (which key is for which gate/door, where the common bathrooms were, etc).

    The kitchen and the bathroom were dirty. For example, I think they should throw away all the food from the fridge on weekly basis.

    The staff was really friendly and open to help me since the beginning

    Hair all over the bathroom floors, only one bathroom per floor (3 showerstall, but you couldn't lock the door on one and the other two where in the same bathroom so really there was only one shower) the cleaning wasn't done regularly

    Localisation, calm even though it was in the center, charming historic building

    Very unpleasant and unfriendly staff at the front desk who check guests in. Except for the young guys who go around seeing guests off with their keys. Either the guy with dreadlocks at the front desk is constantly sleep deprived or high, like the girl in the second building where we were checked in, or they really talk to guests in an arrogant manner.

    Great location

    staff was nicer to some people than others which is fine but still felt a bit weird I guess the place is not super clean and because of the great location the street can be very busy and loud

    I met really nice people very easily there who wanted to go out and do things together which for solo travel was important. location is fantastic and you can easily walk all over the city from this place

    beds are not super comfy, no intimacy, you just sleep with everyone. bathrooms are not very clean… the kitchen is okay but there is no one in the common areas… just hope to have nice person that share the room if u want to make friends. some member of the staff are pretty unfriendly

    The lock for the toilet door did not work. There are three showers, but one of them is in glass without a possibility to lock the door, so no one would shower there. The other two are in the same bathroom which means probably only one person will shower at a time.

    The building and room give a nice historical feel. The kitchen in the room was very clean. Room feels spacious even though 15 people stay in it. Location is super central, but a bit noisy at night.
