Insider Tip

Old Prague Hostel

Situated right near Wenceslas Square in Old Town Prague, this hostel has a fantastic location and some very affordable prices. They provide free breakfast, free walking tours, and organize pub crawls at night. Their on-site bar is also plenty of fun and a great way to meet up with other guests before heading out on the town. The long list of amenities (including a kitchen) and comfortable perks will leave you with plenty of spending money for a great time in Prague.

The Facilities

Dorms

Dorms at the Old Prague Hostel are comfortable and spacious. Bunk beds are custom built and they have large storage lockers for each person to keep their backpacks or suitcases. Ranging in size from 4 beds up to 12, there is a price and privacy level for everyone. All of the dorms share the hallway bathrooms.

Private Rooms

A few private rooms are offered here, including twins for 2 people, double beds for couples, and some 3-person rooms for small groups of friends that want more privacy and less noise. While some of the private rooms have their own ensuite bathrooms, most do not. These private rooms feel like budget-style hotel rooms without many frills.

Also, it's possible to book a larger dorm room as a private room for a group of friends that want to stay together.

Bathrooms

The hallway bathrooms, which most of the rooms use, are large, modern, and clean. There's no "historic bathrooms" here which is definitely good. The showers have plenty of hot water and water pressure. Towels are offered for free with your stay, and so is shampoo, soap, and hairdryers.

Bar

The bar at this hostel is a fun place to relax with a beer during the day or kick back and have a great time at night with some of your new friends from the hostel. It's often the starting point for the pub crawl in the evenings.

Common Areas

The common areas here are relaxing and comfortable. With some comfortable sofas and seating, you can watch TV or movies, or just get on the internet.

The shared kitchen area is also very nice, especially if you want to cook your own meals to save some money. During breakfast and other meal times, this is a fairly social area.

Staff

The staff is fun, friendly, and helpful. They not only make sure everything stays clean and organized, but they make sure you have fun, too!

Heads Up

A club is located across the street, and this causes some noise through the night depending on which room you're in. The staff gives out earplugs, though. Also, they only take cash in the local currency for the balance of the payment when you arrive. They have an ATM, though.

They have also received mixed reviews on cleanliness.
