The beds were comfortable and clean and the staff was kind. The bathroom was clean and towels were available for a deposit, which we got back. They had plenty of information available in the lobby and I generally felt safe and comfortable. I also liked the murals on the stairs :)

I would've enjoyed an age restriction on who could stay there (an older man caught me off guard on the last night). The location was close to everything we wanted, but it was adjacent to a bar and the nearby streets weren't very safe at night.

Very central location, vivid surroundings, convient guest kitchen, good natural lighting

The shower room has two spots shielded by curtains, but in such narrow space it is weird for one man and a woman to share the room due to sense of inadequate privacy. It'd be better if the curtains were replaced by doors and/or the two spots were separated completely. Household AC sockets are not many. There are trams and other traffic right outside the building, which may not be comfortable for very sensitive persons. For me it was fine and actually provided enjoyable city view.

Arrived at night time. The guy who check me in is really good. He is working at the restaurant as the reception is close already.

The washroom is small. I can’t barely fit inside. There’s one Egyptian guy in the room throwing tantrums and the audacity to give some awkward sounds every time I make some sounds. The floor is noisy when I walk around it’s not my fault but this guy is giving tantrums every time. I was checking out in the morning so I need to open my luggage and again he did it. He was even talking to his phone around 1am yet the audacity to make drama. Not the hostel fault though.

The room is clean and comfortable Location is good however for people with lots of luggage can be challenging because no elevator

I did not like the check in because we arrived around 11pm and need to meet the bar tender for check in process. The bar tender was helpful, however i dont like the process because i need to wait ard 20 mins before i can get a key. It was due to he had to attend to a drunk customer which i think it was not his fault. He did serve the customer but the drunk customer broke the glass and he had to remake the drinks which prolonged the waiting. The shower room and toilet is seperated but too small. I think the cable in the toilet from the heater should be sealed as it looks very dangerous However, upon check out the reception is great and let us store our luggage before our take our to budapest from florenc In overall its a nice place i really love it

Great location, good staff. I really appreciated the informative emails/messages with check-in details, deposits, key situation, navigation to the hostel with info on how to get there by public transport from the bus/train stations, airport and some other useful information. quite strong and tall bed frames (not from ikea :) ), I was sleeping in the bottom bunk, so I could sit up straight. the lower bunks also had curtains (for privacy), a lamp, a shelf, an extension cord with 3 charging places, and a USB port attached to the shelf, so that was nice.

no mirror in the room :) but there were some in the corridor, kitchen and the bathroom, so not a big deal.

Very easy to get to the Old Town and if you stay here! Staff were helpful and responsive, and the rooms were clean and well presented. Shops of all kinds are on your doorstep here but at night it is still quiet. Great place to stay, especially for young people!

Good location. Very clean. Comfy beds. Small toilet room, but does the job. I liked that the toilet was separate from the shower room. Very cheap!!

Only had a USB to plug in by the bed, didn’t have an actual outlet, but there were some in the room so it wasn’t too big of a deal. Also the hot water runs out fast so you have to shower very quickly and turn on and off the water because it seems the hot water resets each time lol.

The location couldn't be more perfect. And the staff was very friendly and helpful. They also helped us keep our luggage in the office till we were about to depart.

I think this hotel was the best option with this price. We were 5 friends and we stayed in the same room. First of all, the location is quite well. We were in the center within a few minutes walk. Secondly, the room was just like a house. There was a common kitchen that we shared with only one more room and the kitchen had every equipment like kettle, cups, glasses etc. that we can prepare and drink tea and coffee. Also, the room was really clean, the blankets had the "clean" smell that I peacefully slept. Lastly, it was one of the most affordable hotels in the city. To be honest, if I ever come to Prague again, I will book this hotel without any doubt.
