Prague Square Hostel

This hostel seems to offer everything a budget traveler in Prague could want, especially if you're looking for a party. With an amazing location right near the center of Old Town, you'll be steps away from everything that Prague has to offer, including the Astronomical Clock, Wenceslas Square, and Charles Bridge (not to mention all of the bars, clubs, cafes, and shops).

The Prague Square Hostel also offers plenty of great features and amenities. Their community kitchen is a great place to cook your own meals. They offer a free breakfast and free walking tours. They also have a bar to hang out at before their pub crawl takes you to the best places in Prague at night.

The Facilities

Dorms
Dorm Bed $13.54
Dorms here come in a variety of sizes from 4 beds all the way up to 8 beds. All of the bathrooms are shared in the hallway. The bunk beds are custom built and comfortable. The rooms also have large lockers to keep your bags safe and secure. Large windows let in plenty of light, and they have heat for those colder winter months. Towels and linens are included in the price, which is nice considering that many hostels charge extra. (An all-female dorm is not offered, though.)
Private Rooms
Private Room $11.06
Private rooms at the Prague Square Hostel are simple and basic, but get the job done. With enough room for 2 people, the twin rooms are good for couples or friends that want some privacy and less noise. They also offer rooms for 3 people. Furthermore, larger dorm rooms can be booked for a private group of friends. All of the rooms use the shared hallway bathrooms.
Bathrooms
The bathrooms here are modern, clean, and large. Plenty of hot water and water pressure can be found in the numerous showers here. Towels are included in the price of your stay, and so are hairdryers. Since all of the bathrooms here are shared, the staff takes extra care to make sure that everything is kept clean.
Bar
The bar at Prague Square Hostel is a great place to meet up with other travelers (and some locals) to plan your nights around town and make some new friends. It's definitely one of the focal points of the social experience here. Part of the bar area spills out into the patio so that you can take advantage of the nice spring and summer days enjoying a beer with friends while taking in the historic atmosphere of Old Prague.
Restaurant
A restaurant is attached to the hostel where you can grab some meals if you don't want to venture further out into the city.
Common Areas
Other than the bar, this hostel has several common areas for relaxing and chatting with friends. The shared kitchen is a nice spot to cook your own food, and during meal times many people gather here.

The main lounge area has some comfortable sofas if you want to read a book, talk to other guests, or get some work done on your laptop for awhile. They have a TV and some shared computers, too.
Outdoor Space
The patio is a great place to have a beer, eat a meal, or chat with some of your new friends.
