a&o Prague Rhea Prague Hostel Review and Information

A lovely hostel! This was everything we were looking for during our stay in Prague! It was clean and had excellent facilities and the staff were great. Lockers to put our valuables in, a lovely clean, spacious bedroom and a nearby tram to take us into the centre of Prague. We would definitely recommend staying here and would come back again. - Welsh Girl
