  • Overall: Rating of 3.8 out of 5

    "If you want to come to Prague and get away from the boring backpackers and want to meet people who are a bit more fun, this seems to be a great place." source Hostelworld

    "I thought the hostel was too far away from the main sights (you can\'t really walk) - that was my main problem but was otherwise pretty good overall." source Hostelworld

    "If you're fed up with the touristic city center, you walked a lot and desire a basic place with a good atmosphere to stay, I really recommend it." source Hostelworld

    "28 bed dorm is surprisingly awesome, met tons of people, and the downstairs pub is a great place to have some cheap drinks before going out." source Hostelworld

    "It's a great place for meeting people, especially if travelling alone. I'd definitely stay there again." source Hostelworld

  • Clean: Rating of 3.5 out of 5

    "Pretty neat dorms, within walking distance of the train station and a good grocery store and offers an awesome breakfast for really cheap." source Hostelworld

    "stay here for 4 days, had a great time, bathrooms were clean, beer was cheap and pubcrawl awesome." source Hostelworld

    "Everything seemed clean, but the building could use some serious renovations." source Hostelworld

    "The only bad thing about this hostel is that it isnt as clean as it could be." source Hostelworld

    "wasnt the cleanest of hostels, but the sheets were clean and the beds solid." source Hostelworld

  • Location: Rating of 3.4 out of 5

    "The only downsize is that is quite a walk to the downtown (15-20 minutes) :( so you may feel unencouraged to leave the hostel at night after a full day walking Praha." source Hostelworld

    "Perfect location near the metro and night trams. Cheap restaraunts and bars in the area if you wan to keep it low key and the bar in the hostel is good." source Hostelworld

    "Cool hostel in a great area, less tacky/touristy and much cooler than old town, but that depends on your taste." source Hostelworld

    "This is no longer the hostel it once was owing to newer, better located, cheaper hostels." source Hostelworld

    "Great location, as i like to Zizkov area, I had a pleasant stay here all round." source Hostelworld

  • Value

    "This was a cheap and cheerful hostel but thought it was a bit sloppy not to have locks on either toilet/shower doors on the one floor, or lights working in one of the two toilets (shared by over ten people) Staff were nice though and the breakfast buffet is good value." source Hostelworld

    "i was meant to stay in the 28 dorm room but there wasnt enough space so for the same price i got to stay in a 5 bed dorm with a nice view of the city." source Hostelworld

    "Good atmosphere and great price for what you get." source Hostelworld

    "You can't get much better for the price." source Hostelworld

    "really good hostel for the price." source Hostelworld

  • Room

    "The staff didn't show me to my room. The room was graffittied and the bed was uncomfortable, and the instructions on how to get from the station to the hostel are hopeless." source Hostelworld

    "Old, musty, grimey, loud, uphill in all directions to get there - plus the stairs to your room - but the breakfast is worth the 50 CRZ and it's a good place to meet people." source Hostelworld

    "The staff is very unfriendly, the are no courtains in the door, so everybody sees everything what happens in the other room." source Hostelworld

    "The rooms downstairs are dirty and not well kept - even some of the floor tiles were coming up." source Hostelworld

    "Our room was very dirty, probably because of 3 other guys drinking beer the whole day there." source Hostelworld
