Prague Hostels – Hostel Tyn

Old Town. The hostel has 17 rooms of various sizes. No en-suite. Maximum 5 sharing. No freebies like breakfast or internet etc. Prices start at 400kc (for a place in a dorm). You are paying above average for a very central but, quiet location less than 1 minute to the Old Town Square. Also in the same block is the Beas-Dhaba vegetarian restaurant. I recommend this place for those wanting central and secure location. As a guide, you will find this Prague hostels homepage at https://www.hostelpraguetyn.com

Old Prague Hostel

Old Town. This is on the border of Old Town and Namesti Republiky. Lowest price is 10 Euros (For an 8-Bed Dorm) rising to 40 Euros for a private single occupied room. Rooms have 4 or 5 beds (usually 2 bunks and a single) have a separate bath/wc. Its a two minute walk to the Namesti Republiky metro/tram and a 6 minute walk to the Old Town Square.

Prague Square Hostel

Old Town. This is the sister hostel to “Old Prague Hostel” listed above. Same pricing but there are no separate room wc/bath options and this hostel is a bit bigger with dorms sleeping 10. Free breakfast and internet. As a guide, you will find this Prague hostels homepage at www.praguesquarehostel.com.

Hostel A-Plus

Namesti Republiky. Located at the far end of Na Porici i.e. 15 minute walk to Namesti Republiky. Front facing rooms overlook the highway. It’s a hotel and hostel. Free internet, buffet breakfast etc. 100 metres from Florenc metro. Fifty metres from tram stop but, you’ll find the metro more convenient to get around, especially to Mustek (Wenceslas Square).

Hostel Franz Kafka

Old Town. Opened in 2009 in Kaprova (links the Old Town Square with the river road) at the Kafka Square end of the road. Prices are competitive and low season dorm beds go for less than 15 Euros. An option for people who want to stay central. Breakfast available but not included in price. Prague hostels may offer local Prague deals so their homepage is at www.czechhostelfranzkafka.com.

Hostel Boathouse

Prague 4 – riverfront. This is personally recommended and is located on the riverfront at Branik. Accessible by trams both day and night (eight stops to the centre or approx 12 minutes). VERY popular in the Summer because of it’s close proximity to “Zlute Lazne” which is the beach party area of the riverside. Has an excellent restaurant called Soho+ and a nice Greek restaurant a bit further up the road. As a guide, you will find this Prague hostels homepage at www.hostelboathouse.com.

Hostel Czech Inn

Prague 2 – Vinohrady. This is possibly the highest standard hostel at present with the exception of Miss Sophies (October 2006 – they are sister hostels). Lots of new fittings etc. Attracts a good crowd by the sound of it. Not the cheapest by far and you’ll be using trams or the metro most of the time (buy a travel pass). Recommended. As a guide, you will find this Prague hostels homepage at www.czech-inn.com.

Hostel Clown and Bard

Prague 3 – Zizkov. Located in Borivojova but it’s only a 5 minute walk to the tram line in Seifertova. Opinions vary along the lines of “laid back”, “great”, “old and dated”. It depends on the time of year I guess. I used to recommend this place more as it was cheap. Now I’ve switched to Miss Sophies. Young crowd and has the “atmosphere” often looked for by hostel clientele. As a guide, you will find this Prague hostels homepage at www.clownandbard.com.

Hostel Miss Sophies

Wenceslas Square area. The first of a pair of modern hostels (the other is the “Czech Inn” in the Vinohrady area) and I personally recommend both. Excellent facilities, lots of options for dorms (up to 5 sharing), en-suite rooms (single/double/twin) or even private apartments. Free internet, breakfast (with kitchen) included. Friendly staff.

Hostel Rosemary

Wenceslas Square. Prices based on Winter/Summer seasons and starting at 10 Euros a night for a larger dorm. Prices do not include breakfast. Private en-suite rooms with kitchenette available. Pretty good location about 3 minutes walk from the main railway station and another 5 minutes to Wenceslas Square. Prague hostels may offer local Prague deals so their homepage is at www.rosy.cz/en.

Hostel Chili

Wenceslas Square. Located at Pstrossova 7 in the New Town. 12 minute walk to Wenceslas Square or 15 minutes to either the Old Town Square or Charles Bridge. This place has the atmosphere looked for by backpackers. Dormitories are mixed but private rooms can be turned into mini female-only dorms. Deposits are required for electrical goods, key/linen etc. Nice beer cellar and a small games room for relaxing with a beer and playing a little pool or table football. Breakfast is not included but the buffet is worth it and it’s served to the room………JOKING… Prague hostels may offer local Prague deals so their homepage is at www.chili.dj.

Hostel Downtown

Wenceslas Square. Basically fill in the arrival/departure and click OK. You’ll be presented with “average” prices for different types of rooms. This place has a female-only dormitory. There’s a good deal for 4/5 people sharing a room with bathroom. Other than that there are better options for hostels. Located in Narodni about 150 metres from the National Theatre and a 6 minute walk to Wenceslas Square. Prague hostels may offer local Prague deals so their homepage is at www.hostel-downtown.cz.
