This hostel has a very nice vibe of what you would expect an eastern-european hostel to be. It's very close to the metro station Narodni Trida (like 2 min walking). I stayed in a 5 people bedroom with friends and had a very pleasant stay. It will take you like 15 min to walk to the main plaza in the... More

Staff were great, the other travellers were great, it was nice and quiet at night so you could sleep. The kitchen facilities are awesome and is always kept... More

My 2 adult kids and I stayed in a 5 bed room with private bathroom on the 4th floor. We were aware of the lift being out of order at the time of booking but when we arrived we were then informed that the kitchen area was also under construction and there was no means of self catering, adding unexpected...

Negative: When we arrived to the hostel we were told there was NO kitchen facilities at all - No fridge, kettle, microwave, cooker or even cutlery. This was due to a week of reconstruction in the hostel. We were not informed about this when we made our booking a week earlier. This made if difficult and expensive for us as... More

Dear Ciara, thanks a lot for your comment and feedback.

Yes you are right we have not informed you about this fact before (my fault)... More

Really good location, we did all the attractions walking ( old town, castle, shopping, clubs ). IMHO you don't really need to take a bus ticket to visit Prague. Staff was really kind and rooms were clean.

There's construction across the street, down the street, in the building, behind the building, you get the picture. Jackhammers as alarm clocks at 630am are no good. Construction seems to run 10h-12h a day (typically somewhere between 630/830am - 500/630pm). This is Prague. You probably won't even be going to bed until 2/3/4am, so being awakened by saws, hammers, and... More

Hostel Downtown was the perfect location with great access to their amazing tram system to check out all that Prague has to offer. The sights are within a short tram ride, some great restaurants, shopping, and local life immersion. We choose the private room with a bathroom off the hall, it was perfect. They have some great activities and friendly... More
