we had a room with 5 beds. rooms, bathrooms, and common areas are all clean. safe location. a bit noisy since it's on the heavy traffic street and we had a window room. The WiFi was good. staff is knowledgeable and friendly. we purchased pub crawl tickets at the hostel desk. We parked our car in a secured garage 30 mins' walk away for very cheap.

It was close to everything; quite central. The room was cutely decorated, and there were no bunk beds. Staff was very helpful and friendly.

Patricia United States of America

The best hostel I ever had been to! The location was perfect, also de room(with an amazing and beautiful view), the kitchen and the comun area. I want to thank all the lovely stuff who works at the reception. I would definitely come back there again!

Carla Argentina

The location is amazing; its close to the transportation, clubs and bars, the sightseeing locations …etc the staff is also very helpful and caring: Suzanne especially was a great hand, THANK YOU 😍 It was my second stay at this hostel, but unfortunately all the indoor activities that were held in the hostel were canceled due to corona. Hope they will return in the future

Erika Ecuador

The hostel had comfortable twin beds, good wifi, laundry facilities, helpful and pleasant staff, excellent location and is good value for money. I recommend it highly.

Spencer United States of America

The hostel rooms are really large and has big windows for good temperature control. The staff is friendly and helpful. The kitchen is large and wonderful. And most importantly, the social scene is amazing! Yet, people are quiet after 10 PM for a good night sleep.

Anthony United States of America

My favorite thing about the hostel has to be the value, especially given the quality of the hostel as well as its location. I could not have chosen a better place to stay in Prague, especially for my first visit.
