Staff
The staff is friendly and professional, and keeps the hostel running smoothly. Overall, it's run somewhat like a hotel, which adds to the quiet nature of the hostel.
Heads Up
This hostel is said to be fairly quiet, so if you're looking for a party, head elsewhere. Guests here like the relaxed nature of the place, and are here to see Prague instead of party with other guests.
Otherwise, the main complaint is that they don't have enough bathrooms for everyone during the peak morning times, as this is a historic building.
