    Very dirty public areas, dirty in the room. I found a lot of garbage in the room that had not been cleaned for a long time.

    I liked the price, but that's all.

    I didn't notice when I made the booking that the rooms have no internet provided, so I ended up using cellular data, which was sufficient, just make sure to read the fine print. The building is largely used for student housing, so the room next door was occupied by students who were very loud until late at night.

    Very good and efficient for the price. Room was very spacious and located at a bus stop that took me very quickly into the center of the city.

    In the booking there was written 29.98 euro for 2 people but when I go there, their personal charged me 32.00 euro and said that there is different rate for czech crones. But deal is deal. If it is written in euro, they needed to charge that money.

    It was student dormitories and I felt like a student there.

    Instuctions to reach hostel was poor, even on googling, I wouid say , from Prague railway station go to Tram station Hlavni nadrazi,take Tram 9 towards SidlisteRepy, get down at Svandovo divadlo. Take bus 176 towards Starhov Stadium, get down at last stop, Walk about 3 min to reception of Hostel. Rooms were bit further from reception. People at reception of block spoke poor English, not helpful, No utensils in the pantry except a stove, microwave, someone was kind to give us some boiling water.

    quiet surroundings comfortable bed and quilt we were allowed to keep our bags and collect later at main reception. student restaurant food was good and very reasonable staff at reception were good clean washrooms

    Sometime it got a little bit loud during the night because of people partying, but it wasn't very problematic for us.

    We enjoyed the location of the hostel because you could take the funicular to reach the centre in the morning, without it being busy. Also a nice park and grocery store in the area with amazing bread. The hostel looks a bit like a dorm and was in order! Good price quality balance.

    The hostel, being a student dorm, provides shared bathroom for entire floor so sometimes queues happened. The lights in the shower sometimes randomly went off causing my girlfriend to shower in the dark. The walls were thin and you could hear everything from nearby rooms. The doors were only openable with keys, so one person always had to be inside while the other went to the restroom etc. The location of the hostel (hill) means that you either have to take a bus or walk up (about 25 minutes of moderate walk)

    The hostel is in fact a student dorm, that is what you should expect. The shower was hot and everything was clean, the hostel is located on a hill, which provides amazing views.

    If you want to humiliate yourself – welcome. This place is not meant for rent. You will be given an abandoned small room in a student dormitory, probably one that even the poorest students refused to live in. Old paint is falling from the walls onto your head. There is a shared shower for the whole floor, but it’s full of cockroaches that run in from the kitchen, which you will only dare to enter once just to see what it looks like. Men freely enter the women’s shower. Around 50 students live on the same floor, 6 floors in total, 11 buildings. After 2 AM they were still singing, shouting outside the doors, and the noise outside the window was no better. Complaining would be pointless: the students are just at home, doing what students usually do – drinking, singing, harassing girls. By 8:00 morning it feels like a summer camp, with speaker blasting music in the corridor. I can’t imagine who this accommodation could possibly be suitable for: for the same money you can stay in a normal tourist hostel. Total disrespect for guests – a can of paint costs less than a single booking, yet the walls haven’t been painted since the last century. The place is located on a hill, the funicular was dismantled long ago.

    On the wall there is a large chart where students write down who had sex with whom, and in what way.

    We chose it because it was one of the cheapest options, but we deeply regret it. During the night, the men staying in the next room banged on our door multiple times. We were too scared to make a sound, turned off the lights, and couldn’t sleep at all. There isn’t even a female-only wc. It was a terrifying, dirty, and extremely unsafe place. We had a horrible experience and absolutely do not recommend it!

    The bathroom was not very clean. You can hear people from other rooms or the lobby. The staff who was responsible for the digital communication through booking wasn’t attentive. I didn’t get clear instructions for check-in or other things related to the stay until I asked.

    There was no cooking utensil

    For the price the hostel was amazing. There's a lot of connections from the city center to the hostel There's a WiFi even they write in the hostel page that there's no WiFi. There's a small shop in the hostel for late nights beer and necessary things.
