Stayed there for 1 night and i was told i had to give a 10e deposit which was understandable but i saw a sign that said people leaving next day must go to reception to pick up their deposit? The guy in reception knew i was leaving next day and still took my deposit? What was the point? Went to my room and there was a bar right outside my window, i think the bar is the same property,anyway, the noise was horrendous, so loud, people shouting and singing until after 12am, i couldnt sleep at all, the property is very old fashioned, kinda like the days of dracula or something, i did like that its very central and close to everything, and it was cheap so you 1 night was ok for me, prob wont go back, but i did get my deposit back 😉

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities

Lower bunks have a privacy curtain but the upper bunks don’t so you’re screwed if you get upper bunk and when I asked if i could change beds, they couldn’t because apparently all the beds were booked even though one in my room was empty. Also there’s zero ventilation (safety concern??) in the room so the room was so hot despite it being spring, and imagine 6 other guys in the room, how bad it would smell.

Prague week trip

Excellent central location, within easy walk of both the old and new town. Plenty of restaurants, supermarkets, bars in the immediate area. Rooms were spacious, regularly cleaned and airy. Useful kitchen for cooking/eating. Only -ve is that if you have a bed by the window the street noise from the trams can be disturbing, but not overly excessive.

Fair option, I recommend

For the price that I paid, Travel&Joy Backpackers is the perfect cost benefit option. You can't expect that much comfort, but is enough for 3-5 days. Also, the location is amazing and nearby the hostel you can find a lot of restaurant and public transport options. I recommend.

Liked: Cleanliness

A good cheap place stay. We had a private room so we were in an apartment with 2 other rooms. Beds were falling apart and mattresses old and sunken. if you want a cheap and clean place to sleep this is it though. Good kitchen facilities, although there was no oven. The best part was the location. We walked everywhere. The main sites are about 15-20 minutes away by foot.

Nice place, great location

Lots to like about this place. The location is very good, close to metro and tram stops, and near many of Prague's big attractions. The rooms are spacious and cheery (the one I was in even had a grand piano in it!). And there's a great restaurant/bar with a large outdoor, shaded patio area. The only drawback is that there was one toilet for 18 people to share. If someone was in there, the closest WC was three floors down next to the reception desk.

Great location, just a few blocks from the Old Square. Comfortable facilities, and helpful staff. For some reason, in the women's dorms, people didn't talk together much, maybe worried about disturbing others?

Less that satisfactory.

The room was at the top of a great deal of stairs. Really a lot to climb, with no elevator. There were many guests, that were from a different nationality that had no idea how to act in a hostel. They arrived well after the quiet time and very noisily unpack, chatted, had showers, left lights on all over and flooded the bathroom with water and mess. When the staff was told about it they said oh yes, we know. No idea about I forcing the rules so the rest of us were comfortable.

It had a bit of a funny smell and the mattresses weren't the comfiest, but was definitely nice enough for a last-minute, affordable, private room. The bathroom, kitchen, and living space was shared with the other private room, but was well furnished and comfortable.
