Hostel Orange
The Hostel Orange is a popular place to stay for all types of budget travelers, mainly due to the great location right on Wenceslas Square in the heart of the city. They have a bar, restaurant, some comfortable common areas, and a rooftop terrace, too. And the rooms come in a variety of sizes and prices. Large or small dorms can be booked, and they also have private rooms. This lively hostel gets great ratings from guests and is a solid choice if you want a hostel in the old town area of Prague.
The Facilities
Dorms
Dorms come in sizes from 6 beds up to the quite large 18 bed dorm room. Some of the rooms have ensuite bathrooms, while others use the shared hallway bathrooms. Dorms have small lockers for your valuables (but not baggage), plenty of natural light, heaters, and key-card access. Towels, sheets, and pillows are all included in your stay.
Private Rooms
Private rooms here are bunk rooms that are great for groups of friends that want to stay together. They also have a large apartment for small groups that want the luxury of extra space, too.
Bathrooms
Bathrooms are modern and kept as clean as possible. Plenty of hot water is available all day long, as is good water pressure. Towels are included with your stay. Some guests say that there are not enough bathrooms for the rooms that use the hallway bathrooms. As this is an older building in the historic center of Prague, there isn't much they can do about it. If this concerns you, booking a room with an ensuite is the way to go.
Bar
The bar area is popular and turns into a club at night with music. The rooms are all a bit separated from the bar area so it's still possible to get a decent night's sleep.
Common Areas
With a comfortable common area, you can relax and watch TV or hang out with other guests.
Outdoor Space
The Hostel Orange has a rooftop terrace which is a nice place to relax, read a book, chat with other guests, and make some new friends.
