    Too noisy, but it's worth cause the location is great 👍 The bed is clean, there is a kitchen and a kettle. For such price this option is more than okay.

    Special thanks to the woman who does the cleaning. She handles everything on her own, which is difficult because some of the guests' culture leaves much to be desired. Best regards.

    There is no common area for the guests. I reached to the hostel during the non - working hours of the reception so I didn't have access to towels.

    The location is very convenient just a few steps away from the Old City centre. Rooms also are decent: quite spacious and bright.

    Internet wasnt working at all. I couldnt even search one thing on google. Bathroom is not that clean but its not the worst.

    Location is gorgeous you are staying in the middle of the center. The beds are comfortable and clean. Lockers are big enough. You need a lock for that.Environment is quite even though its in the center.

    Well it seems strange that they are having so much scam issues through their account. It's something I've never experienced before. So many strange messages asking for creditcard details etc. But well the place is nice, very good location. I think it's a bit more friendly if they accept free cancellation untill a certain moment. So be aware once booked it's done. Whatever happens along the way if your travel or life. No way they help you out to cancel it. Even if its month ahead booked.

    The location is super!!

    Rest rooms.

    Hotel staff was exceptional when it comes to accommodating their customers. They made sure I get checked in even coming late. I know it would be a stretch to ask, but it would be amazing if there were towels or mini soaps for the guests.

    Large fresh white rooms. Great location. Extremely accomodating Staff. Quiet a nd peaceful building.

    It’s an old building and so you get a lot of the street noise inside the rooms which can keep you up. The room was also very warm and there was no fan to cool it down. If you are arriving late checking in can be tricky as the reception closes at 6pm so you need to get the keys from a shop next door but it that closes before you arrive then i guess you’re out of luck

    Location was incredible and the room was reasonably priced

    The staff didn't really speak English and it made stuff a bit confusing but that's alright. In the end we understood each other enough.

    I really liked the location for the price, close to everything.

    Location is perfect, very close to the old town square of Prague. I was lucky because during my stay I was only one guest in the hostel’s room. 😁

    The staff wasn't very informative. I left my luggage in the reception after the checkout, I was told that I could leave it until 6. But they didn't tell me the reception was going to be closed between 11:30 and 12:45. I had to come earlier to pick up my stuff. But the reception was closed. If I had been told about it in advance, I would have brought my stuff with me.

    The location is excellent. And I liked staying in a non mixed room.
