The location was very good, very close to the Old Town square. Although I arrived after the reception was closed, we could arrange an easy check-in (and check-out).

Teresesa, was really kind and helpful The Location is the Best

Merlanie Germany

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.

Brittany United States of America

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.
