Comment by Kiwi Mike, New Zealand July 2007 Good times I stayed here for eight days in august 2006, i had a real good time. The bar downstairs is always full every night and you're guaranteed to meet loads of cool people and get have a great time. the staff are helpful and can recommend good places to go for dinner and good local clubs. Try the chinese restaurant down the road for a cracker cheap feed, all the staff can give you directions. Definitely recommend staying here. Comment by Gillian April 2006 It's a great hostel. Room is clean, staff are so nice and friendly. It's a bit noisy because it's near the railway and the road. And it's a shame that they don't offer free linen (you have to pay three euro for it). Go and check out the bar at the basement. The barman, Alex is such
5 of 5 6/2/2008 3:03 PM a cool guy. They make a special drink at midnight. It's the spot of the night. I stayed there for three nights. I had so much fun. Comment by Jen March 2006 This is a great hostel. It is clean, cheap and the breakfast is great, they actually cook eggs, ham and bacon for you and then they have the normal continental stuff. It was recently remodeled, so it is controlled with key card access, which is nice. But, this hostel is a little out of the way, you have to take a tram to get to most of what a tourist would want to see. The trams run often, so it was never a problem. But, that means that the restaurants in the area are traditional Czech ones with Czech prices. And the bar in the basement is good, though the beer could be cheaper. I would recommend this hostel because it was clean, cheap and I felt safe there. If I were to go to Prague again I would stay there and I've recommended it to friends. Comment by Craig Ganson August 2005 Excellent budget accommodation which we fully recommend. Lovely clean rooms with excellent bathroom facilities. Really friendly staff and an excellent bar down the stairs. Go and meet Alex the barman, who can mix a mean drink. Make sure you rise in the morning for a cooked breakfast and a choice of other fresh juice, flakes, breads and cheeses. The atmosphere later on is always good with a good sound system to listen to, with a good choice of tunes and plenty of people to meet and talk to. The city center is only about 7 or 8 minutes away on a tram, which can be boarded just a minute around the corner. Or it's an enjoyable 20-minute walk for those who like to walk. Transport is cheap and dependable. Ten out of ten!!! Have you visited this hostel?
