Hostel Franz Kafka

Prague

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 made a booking for booking.com for my son and his friends who were going to interrail in July 2020. Because of the pandemic, we didn't know what was going to happen. We called the hotel and were told to hope. If I cancelled the booking, they wouldn't refund the money because it was unrefundable. We were waiting for the booking to tell us how to cancel, but it never did. The whole world couldn't travel because of the unfortunate pandemic but didn't get in touch. I wrote to the hotel and booking to proceed with the refund of young people whose trip for suction didn't take place. The hotel stayed with the money that NOS ESCRIBIO (the document) was doing to say that the money was being refunded in September, but the booking also claimed that the booking of the children of Eldoret Eldoret Eldoret Eldoret Eldoret Eldoret Eldoret Eldoret Eldoret Eldoret Eldoret Eldoret Eldoret Eldoret Eldoret Eldoret Eldoret Eldoret Eldoret Eldoret Eldor

I have not returned the money to my son or friends who could not survive the pandemic.

The location was very good, the room I was in was shared, according to my reservation it was only ladies, but it was mixed, thankfully I got 2 young Koreans, very friendly and calm. I had no problem sleeping quietly and relaxed, even though the bathrooms were shared.

Excellent for price and quality.

The hotel has an excellent location that is well worth it. The staff is attentive and friendly and everything was more or less clean. The heating is also very good, in a moment it warms the whole room. On the contrasts the noise is very highlighted. It is an old building, so the doors and windows are old. If you hear everything that is happening in the adjacent rooms and in the bathroom, which is shared. That causes that when someone goes to the bathroom in the middle of the night you wake up continuously, it was impossible to sleep. And let alone when there is someone especially scandalous, as happened to us in the early days.

Very noisy, difficult to rest.

The only good thing about the hostel is the location. I arrived at night, as they don't have a reception at 24 hours, they left me some keys in a nearby location. I had a hard time getting through the door so I still had to dial the emergency number. Felicito a Cristina, committed to her work, came to receive me and helped me get in. I came to my shared room and there was a horrible smell of locked-in, the mattress was so thin that I could not sleep. The bathroom and shower were dirty. The kitchen that they say has it is VERY BUSICAL, has only one burner for the entire hostel. The two stars for the location (excellent) and the staff that were always with me.

So much to desire.

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!

Pros: it's in the city centre and very convenient to visit the whole city.The rooms were nice, clean and there weren't too many people to share bathrooms so it was very convenient.It's cheap and if what you want to visit the city is ideal.Contras: if you're going in the summer, make sure it doesn't get too hot because it concentrates too much on the rooms.We paid 7 euros to wash the clothes and the dryer was rotten (they didn't return the money).

Excellent location!

The positive, Tres close to the place visited!!! So we start with the dormitories, it's impossible to sleep in a bed with a mattress that's 2 cm so worn out. Then you feel too good the metal bars of the overlayed bed, thankfully my neighbor is gone I slept better underneath! sound insulation we forget, it's an old apartment. the cover, too short, when you're 1m80! I was mostly thinking of finding a place where I could lie down sometime in a common room at night or I could meet people, AND NO, it's so closed at the end of the day, so if you sit down, it's fine for you a canister 2 people in the window! super when it's 22h you don't get bored, you're not getting bored, it's the worst thing, but in the middle of the toilet, you can hear the rest of the toilet, and the only thing that's good is that it's on the other side of the wall, but it's a good thing, it's a good thing, it's a good thing, it's a
