- Nice location but hill area, need strength to get there by walking if not uber/bolt.

We stayed in a private room with 2 bathrooms (one with shower).We had kitchen and table.The room was very spacious with big windows, the light was great!Actually it was like an apartment with all the facilities we needed.Location is good, not in the center but easy to get there!There's a Lidl supermarket very close, we went there every morning and before going to the hostel at the end of the day!
The guy who did our check in didn't validate our stay on Booking and I had to call the hostel to solve the issue.We just have 3 towels in the bathroom (but I asked for more and I got it immediately)The furniture is old and needs to be fixed (the bed of my son was broken and very noise, one of the shelves almost falling, the wardrobe was not correctly assembled, the floor was very noise as well).
We stayed in a room with a private ensuite on the last floor. It was really spacious and comfortable, with a small kitchenette and clean bathroom. Location is perfect, only 15 minutes to the main train station, and 25 minutes to the center on foot. Staff is friendly and helpful.
private room sizes are great, rooms are clean, staff is helpful. Kitchen utensils are enough.Location seems a problem for the people who stays there but using tram 26 brings you close enough.
Facilities were very old and the beds and pillows were straight out of prison, no cushions at all. One of the staff members was rude at checkout and wouldn’t accommodate me when I asked if I could bring another luggage to store after checkout and will pick it up later in the day. He claimed I was “already 4 mins late to checkout.”
Good location. Nice staff. Clean enough, but little things like no soup in the toilet was annoying.
The hostel has rather cool appearance and there is a basement bar. Wine bars and supermarkets are nearby and getting to Prague 1 is quite easy for us with tram or walking. The room was very spacious and had more equipments than we thought. We were happy with clean towel that was not mentioned on the room amenities.
We didn't know that there was no elevator while our room was at the top floor. It was quite challenging going all the way up with our luggage. Parking situation was not clear enough depsite the communication. My bed had a tiny dead bug but I guess with the window open it is unavoidable.
The location is good. The discount offered at the next door coffee shop is a nice perk. Overall a nice vibe to the place when you enter the bar area etc. The bed was reasonably comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped and kept clean. Good size lockers. Up a bit of a hill but still very close to tram links which makes location good.
The showering and toilet areas were not a good level of clean. The floors would be mopped first thing in the morning right when everyone is about to use them, so people would wear shoes to avoid the wet floor and make it immediately very dirty. Surely makes more sense to do that in the middle of the day. I didn't seem like the toilets were properly cleaned every day as when it looked like other cleaning had been done the toilets didn't seem to have been. Broken hooks in the shower room made it a task to shower comfortably.
The beds were disgusting. I rented one room with 3 beds. The mattresses were soiled with giant urine stains along with mold and other unknown stains. I refused to stay there and when I asked for a refund they refused. They said "It’s unusual that you chose to remove the bedding—this is not standard practice.” I do this any place I stay to check for things like this and for bed bugs. These mattresses should have been immediately thrown away after they were soiled. This is a health concern. In no way should these mattresses still be used for guests.
The room and the staff are awesome and very helpful. The location is great, you can reach everything on foot. I visited Prague together with my father and we were pretty happy with the double room with private bathroom. But! When I arrived home, I noticed many red bites on my body, so out was my first time bedbug experience in the very heart of Prague. Really sad, if not this it would be perfect, but bedbugs... Not recommended
The location was great, especially for young people. We went there in winter, and it was very, very warm inside, which was a huge advantage. The rooms and the bathroom were perfectly clean. It was quiet at night.
There weren't enough cutlery and dishes to prepare breakfast (plates, bowls, knives, spoons etc.) But it was only a minor inconvenience.
The hostel is situated in good place, There was also kitchen with everything I need.
The room looks really old
Location was great, the staff was very friendly and helpful. The vibe of the place is great!
The pillows were too soft for my liking.
The room is spacious. Nice location, only took few minutes walking to take the tram.We mentioned about carrying heavy suitcase, so the staff helped to change a lower room.
We needed to store our luggage after checking out, and the staff didn’t mention what time we should return to pick it up. When we went back to the hostel, the staff was quite rude and complained that we returned too late. We tried to explain that there might have been a miscommunication during the shift change, but it was difficult to communicate with them.The room is quite dark, and the furniture is quite old.
Staffs are friendly, location is great, price is cheap
Shared bathroom with other groups, no shower curtain
It was a comfortable room.
Bathroom was dirty. There’s a bathtub instead of a shower but is very uncomfortable, without curtains, everything gets wet in a minute. No lift :( Location is not that bad, 20min walking distance from the city centre. You can leave your luggage for free after check out but until 20:00.You have to pay a deposit of 8 euros when you check in.
Was brilliant over all - staff were exceptional!
Obviously it's a hostel so some things are lacking considering the city centre hotels on offer but for the price it was amazing! If you're on a budget and want to visit Prague I would recommend
