    Lighting was a bit low in the kitchen but manageable.

    Awesome Location in Old Jewish Quarter, Plenty of shops / bars / pubs / cafe around and all the major tourist attractions can be reached walking. Elisa keeps place spotlessly clean. Would love to go back and stay again.

    The rooms cant be locked from inside. Common Bathroom that are used by both male and female. If you are okay with these two things only then book the hostel. Didn’t feel unsafe as I was in female dorm and there were other people in the room. But it was a but weird.

    Location is the best thing about this hostel. Next to metro station/tram station and right next to old town. Everything is walkable from here. Area is also very safe where hostel is located. Lot of restaurants, grocery shops nearby.

    It is quite a bit out dated compared to other similar priced hostels I’ve stayed at. Everything was functional and worked well though.

    - Noise on the street - Light sensors in toilet/bathroom, they are not working as they should

    -Location, right next to starometska metro station, allows fast travel on A metro line -No bunk beds , just regular beds so no worry about getting unconformable top beds -Whole hostel is small size , easy to go other section in case bathroom or toilet is taken

    One toilet door handle was broken and some of the doors looked a bit old. Only slight superficial things.

    Extremely close to the town square, host was very friendly and let us check out a little bit after final time. We could keep bags there before and after checkin/out time. Room was big, and surprisingly not hot despite no air conditioning. Elevators helped getting there. Overall quite good for the price

    There was some problem with the shower on my floor, but the one on the floor below worked fine. It was quite hot in the hostel - some AC would be appreciated, but to be fair, I've noticed it's not the most common thing in Prague in general. Lots of cafes/pubs didn't have it either.

    The hostel is located right in the center of Prague, very close to the Old Town. There are shops, restaurants and pubs nearby. The bedding was clean, and the hostel was fairly clean in general. The wifi worked well. The receptionist was super nice.

    Location means there's quite a bit of noise in the evenings - not to fault the hostel, but worth mentioning nonetheless

    The location is fantastic - right in the centre, 30 seconds from the old town square in one direction, and a metro station in the other Our room was very big and spacious and the chairs by the window were lovely to relax in

    The 6 bed share room was hotter than hell! A fan would assist in moving air around as we all had every window open all day and it did nothing!!!

    Staff are uniformly amazing! Location cannot be beaten!

    It is a good hostel, I didn't find big faults. Maybe use of washing machine is way too expensive...

    Great location, good wi-fi, big room, good linen, pretty comfortable beds with curtains for privacy. The staff was very friendly, they let me check in earlier as I was very tired. Also they looked after my luggage when I checked out. There is a lift which is very convenient, if you have heavy bags. They offer rooms for women and men separately, which was important for me.

    A very small point but the showers could do with providing soap and shampoo.

    Great hostel with a good size dormitory, nice and bright. Excellent location , you just have to fall out of bed literally to be on the doorstep of the square in Old town.Friendly staff also very helpful.

    The shower rooms and toilets are not very clean but acceptable. Neither shampoo nor body gel is provided. The lightning system in the shower rooms is always turned off during the shower. Have to wave my hands near the light to make it turn again. Key access to the room makes it less convenient. Holding 3 keys in total, but only one is for accessing the room. The others are for entrance and the front door. If one more set of keys is provided, it would be great. No air-conditioning, so I need to open windows for ventilation. However, the windows are close to the street, so there is a bit of noise.

    The location !!!!! Super close to the city center. The Prague Astronomical Clock is within a 5-minute walk. The Charles Bridge is within a 10-minute walk. The Prague castle is within 20 minutes tram. So, you save a lot on transportation (even transportation fees are cheap) and traveling time. There are lots of restaurants, cafes, bars, snack shops, and to-go cuisine downstairs. You won't be hungry. The room is spacious with some basic but enough furniture. The bed is big. The kitchen is on the top floor, providing functional equipment. There are washing machines provided, maybe free to use. Lift is equipped.

    Nice place to stay. Workers were friendly. The room which was given for me was just perfect. I stayed one of the most amazing ones where you are able to see the historical astronomical clock tower. That’s why I just want to thanks for everything 💜
