I was in a 4 bed female dorm. The main issue was lack of ventilation, especially on a 37 degree day 🥵 But reception gave us a fan when we asked which was helpful. Lockers for each person plus a couch and a desk with a mirror and some chairs so plenty of room inside the room. Mixed sex bathrooms with doors and locks on each shower cubicle. The kitchen was fine, microwave, cooktop, big fridge, kettle.. The best thing was the location. Jewish cemetery 100m one way, and you can see Tyn Church from street level out the front. Yet no outside house from the rooms at all. Would absolutely stay again. Everyone I saw was young, but took their parties elsewhere

Five star review but not five star luxury

The location is by far the selling point! It is bang on the middle of Prague, perfect for the base to explore. Easy to find, and friendly staff. Having stayed for a Stag do, the shared dorms were fine. All other travellers were friendly.
A few downsides for the hostel to work on and improve, were the showers and toilet facility's, very dated. And curtains, there were basically none. However this wouldn't put me off from staying again if needed, but would be in their best interest to upgrade.

The location is the selling point

Stayed here for 3 nights, location was perfect both for walking around the old town and accessing the metro from Staromestska. Hostel receptionist was so kind and helpful, even made sure I was OK flying home from the airport! Beds were ok, toilets and showers were a bit cramped, common area was modest. The bedside cupboards for luggage were not lockable. The main problem was that the hostel locks up out of reception's opening hours, which caused me a few problems because my key was difficult to use. A keycard system would have been a lot easier.

Perfect location, but a bit of a hassle sometimes

I stayed for 3 nights in this hostel and it was lovely. The room is simple but the location is in the heart of the old town and just few steps to the famous Astronomy clock, 10 minutes walk to Charles bridge and close to the metro station. The hostel has a kitchen so you can cook your own meals but Prague is cheap compared to another part of Europe that I visited.

Location, Location!

We booked a few beds for NYE and the days surrounding. So the price while expensive was understandable. 

The location was brilliant. Can not fault it. 

Going hand in hand with location, it means everything was loud. But the hostel itself wasn’t - just the noise from the people, fireworks and horses. 

The rooms and bathrooms were clean and nice. Our bunk bed squeaked so much my friend and I ended up putting our beds on the floor for 2 out of 3 nights. The squeaking wasn’t normal hotel bed, it was constant and any movement or even cough. However our other friends bunk was fine, so must have gotten the unlucky one. 

So I don’t blame the hostel but knowing what I do now, I wouldn’t book here again.

It’s fine, but definitely better out there

The hostel is very modest. I had my own room but shared the bathroom. It is located right at the heart of oldtown, and also a kebab place which sell halal cuisine. It is close to Cafe Abel with good coffee also IPasteria selling beat carrot cake ever. It is also close to a souvenir shop Darky Gifts with very real Czech materials. I definitely will stay here again if I go to Prague.

A bit bad night because somebody bang on my room, apparently the guest was a bit drunk, and he was mistakenly knocked at wrong room.

Close to many things I need

Room is nice and clean. Shared bathroom ok. Wifi ok. You are a minute away from Old Town Square and Prague Astronomical Clock. 10 minutes walk to Charles Bridge. The staffs are friendly and helpful. This hostel have a lift so no need to worry about carrying your luggages. Worth the stay if you are in a budget.

Nice hostel in a perfect location

The hostel itself is located in the great spot very close to major attraction places, not that far from the metro station. Staff are nice and welcome the room is clean, about 10 mins walk to the great bridge.

Nice stay enjoyed it

It's located in a perfect spot, just in the city center! I stayed in a 6 beds shared room. Although beds and pillows could be more confortable, the quality-price rate is good. The cleaning of the bathrooms is correct.

Nice stay

I had three other accommodation options before I decided to stay at Hostel Franz. The three were all close to Charles Bridge. When I learnt they're a bit distant from Staromestska, I cancelled my booking with one of them. 
I chose Hostel Franz for its proximity to Staromestska, St. Nicholas Church, the central square, the Astronomical Clock, Jewish Quarter, restaurants and stores!
Whenever I was near Hostel Franz, I'd go to my room and change my shirt and leave small souvenir items I've bought during my walks.
What I didn't like in their service is their incapacity to accommodate early check in. They stick to 2 pm, which makes them very disappointing. Regardless the room is ready or not, they say the rooms need to be cleaned. This hostel draws negative reviews in this sense. All I wanted was to settle my things in my own private room, freshen up and wander around the city. 
They haven't been much of help after many times of persuading.
