The hostel is amazing. I was in a shared room of 4-men and the beds were normal; not like bunk beds. It was more like a hotel. They also provide breakfast which is decent as per the price. Location is perfect which is very close to the Charles Bridge. They provide an entire wardrobe with locker keys. Every bed comes with a wardrobe, side table, a common table and a few chairs in the room where everyone can interact. Rooms are also equipped with mirrors, study lamps and charging ports. - Anonymous
