The Facilities

Dorms

Dorms at the Ahoy New Town hostel are modern, spacious, well lit, and nicely furbished. The bunks have lockers under the beds which are large enough to hold your luggage. An all-female room is available, and rooms come in sizes from 4 to 8 beds. Beds have plugs and lights, too. The hallway bathrooms are also nice.

Private Rooms

Private rooms at the Ahoy New Town hostel are comfortable and feel like budget hotel rooms. They use the hallway shared bathrooms, but include some nice furniture. Some also have balconies with nice views over the charming streets below. Doubles, twin doubles, and 4-person rooms are available.

Bathrooms

The bathrooms here are modern, renovated, and have plenty of space. Hot water is usually available, and the pressure is good. There's no "history" in these bathrooms, which is great. Towels and hairdryers can be rented from the front desk.

Restaurant

The cafe and bar at the Ahoy New Town is a good place to grab a meal (including their affordable breakfast) or a casual beer and chat with friends. They serve a good selection of delicious meals if you don't want to head out into the town.

Common Areas

The main common room here, other than the cafe area, is a nice lounge with comfortable sofas and a guitar. This is a nice spot to plan your adventures in Prague or relax on the internet. Otherwise, the spacious communal kitchen is a fantastic spot to cook your own meals and chat with guests during meal times. The kitchen is fully stocked and feels like a large industrial grade kitchen.

Outdoor Space

The nice patio of the hostel has some picnic tables. During the warmer months, this is a nice spot to have a beer, eat a meal, or just chat with your new friends from the hostel.
