    Location was not ideal for exploring Old Town/over near the Charles Bridge. You have to walk about 10 minutes and then take a tram. Area around the hostel felt safe, but definitely not a cute/fun/hip area to stay as a young person. I also didn't think breakfast was worth the extra cost. Top bunk was absurdly hard to climb up - no rails along the bed to grip. No privacy curtains on bunk beds.

    Very close to the nearest metro station. I was originally in a 10-bed dorm room that was VERY cramped and asked to be switched to one of the 6-bed all female dorms. It was SO much better! Friendly, helpful staff! Comfortable mattress. Key card access to the hostel rooms was nice. Bar and tables in the lobby provide a space to meet new people.

    Room was pretty hot and stuffy,so I had to open the windows a lot to let fresh air in. The doors were also very noisy, creaking a lot - made it pretty hard not to wake up others when I came back late at night/woke up early and left the room.

    Accesibility to the town center and tram/metro stations, very accomodating and upbeat staff(even when I had to call reception at 2 am that i had some problems with getting into the building - only my fault),all people in the shared dorms were very considerate of each other. Next time I have to get accomodation in Prague, I will definitely choose this hostel :) Didn't try the breakfast, so maybe next time :)

    I asked for a wooden box under the bed but my request was ignored.

    I very much liked the fact that everybody at the reception was very nice and open. They upgraded me to a 6 bed room for free and I shared it with some very nice and incredible people. Shutout to Omar, Aron, Rosie, Jim and Elijah (sorry for butchering your name bro). I totally recommend this Hostel to solo travelers as you will make lots of friends.

    My mattress was quite saggy but this could just have been mine.

    Very friendly staff and good atmosphere. I especially liked that the little kitchen and bathroom are in the dorm, so you share this only with the people from your dorm. It was clean and overall just a really nice and convenient hostel!

    When I arrived, it took some time to check in, but otherwise it was a great stay. The staff was friendly but not immediately helpful with recommending what to do in Prague. Overall, I would stay again and the brunch was worth it each day.

    I really liked the all women's room, especially because I felt separate and private with our own kitchen and bathroom. Also the beds were comfortable.

    None really, maybe the hinges on the doors need some grease because they were pretty noisy. Could easily disturb your sleep at night. But i'm just nitpicking.

    The location was good, the hostel was pretty central. Very accomodating staff. They have a kitchenette which is good. Decent price.

    It would be almost impossible for me to think of anything I didn't like other than they don't have an outdoor seating area.

    The staff is really great and professional. Knowledgeable and provided excellent directions. The beds were super comfortable, clean and had an easy sliding rack to put your stuff underneath the bed. I thought the hostel was top notch and I can't imagine anything that they could really do much better. Kitchen facilities and utensils are excellent 👍.

    Perfect location & comfort for our needs!

    The automatic lights in the hallways & bathrooms were a little inconvenient. They turned on & off at random times, or wouldn’t stay on even when we were using the bathroom. We were also a little disappointed by curtains in the bedroom, as they barely covered the windows when stretched out to full width. This wasn’t a problem for privacy, but allowed lots of unwanted light both from the streetlights at night and the early summer sunrise.

    We chose a large room with kitchenette as we were a family of 4, staying for 6 days. There was plenty of space for everyone! The brunch options were excellent, and expertly prepared. Everyone was very friendly, helpful, and kind. The facilities were spotless, and the breakfast area was cleaned regularly. We felt we got a great value for the price. The location of this hostel is perfect from the standpoint it is very convenient to all modes of public transportation, and also in easy walking distance of several key areas in the historic district. We would definitely stay here again if the opportunity presented itself.

    It got quiet hot in night, so while even though a fan had been installed in every room, it simply wasn’t efficient!

    The property is located within a 3 minute walk to the metro station and a 5 minute walk to the tram station. Plus its centrally located, so very easy to commute to and fro!

    As far as I'm aware, they didn't do any specific events throughout the week for travelers to meet each other or find community if you're looking for that as a solo traveler. They could also probably post up some good suggestions of off-beat things to do, but all in all very happy with my stay!!

    The people working there were all very nice and helpful, even when it was busy! They'll store your luggage for free upon arrival and they give discounts off drinks during happy hour! They also provide cold and hot buffet breakfast options. Easy, clean and chill vibe, they also had staff around all day/night which made me feel safe as a solo traveler. Pretty good location as well!

    The only thing off was the poor sensor in the bathroom which kept turning off the lights inspite of someone being there. Lighting could be better

    The location of the property as well as the facilities available was awesome. The staff was hospitable and welcoming. The property was clean. Most of the places a tourist wants to visit are at a walkable distance.

    The vibe wasn’t always there, the noise from the bar and street downstairs made it impossible to sleep at night, wish there was a fan or ac in the room to help.

    The 6 female dorm room was superb. It was more of an apartment than a dorm. No bunkbeds but separate layout of beds, bathroom and kitchen outside the bedroom but private for the room. Phenomenal breakfast and great value and great staff. Loved it here!

    Since I will come back a few times, I will definitely be on the look out for some issues to report. So far nothing worth noting. And if there will be anything worthwhile I trust the owners to be able to fix it so it does not reproduce itself.

    It's not my first time at this hostel. Hence I keep coming back. The rooms are clean, beddings in white. The washrooms/showers are spotless...etc..

    Bathroom was not kept stocked with toilet paper during stay, and many people noted the odor. No curtain in shower to reduce splashback in entire shower room.

    Great waitstaff and reception, excellent breakfast service and a friendly atmosphere. The bartender deserves high praise.
