Was perfect for two young girls in Prague for a long weekend. We felt completely safe and the hostel was in a perfect location, only a short walk from a tram stop. We could go exploring during the day and stay out at night easily, while feeling safe coming back at a late hour. The staff were very helpful with recommendations and good place to meet people. - Australian Girl
