Garden hostel HAVANA can be found just at the edge of the Krumlov historical centre-only few steps from the place Egon Schiele painted his famous Dead Town pictures. Three houses on the Vltava river bank have been build to create a central courtyard with a beautiful garden with tables and music for chilling out in and enjoying a few beers. Because HAVANA is on the right place - 10 min walk from the main square but also in the part of Krumlov where the locals live, so after you are fed up with overcrowded streets and high prices in turistic pubs, let the locals show you (and advice you) how to live and drink... Cesky Krumlov and HAVANA is nowardays the perfect place to stop to recharge yourself and maybe even get yourself back on budget. If you're into a bit of adventure, we also offer canoe, raft and bike rental, or you can also ask at reception about other recommended day trips and places of interest around Krumlov in the beautiful region of South Bohemia Please notice that check-in is until 7 pm ( 19:00)!!! If you are late, you risk loose a beds.

Great little place, a little back in the day but the staff were wonderful... Took us on a night boat mission through Cesky and past some pubs!

Cute homely kinda place, nothing fancy, and not the best if you want to meet people and party (it's not that sort of town!) But had a really good time there.

Really lovely little hostel, more like a home. Comfortable, warm and relaxing. Handy kitchen, free internet and BBQ in yard - very friendly atmosphere. Not too far to town centre - only 10 mins walk.

The girls that run this hostel were rude. We are pretty east going but they gave us nothing. Room was fine and pretty good size but the hostel is split into 2 sides and if your in the other one they hhave good bathrooms and net. Ours didnt. Only 2 showers and they were freezing. Nice easy walk to...

This hostel was right near the river. It was not in the prettiest section of town, but it was about ten minutes walk from the town center. There are apple trees on the lawn, which are free for the picking, which was great. Since we went off season, we literally had the whole place to ourselves.... more This hostel was right near the river. It was not in the prettiest section of town, but it was about ten minutes walk from the town center. There are apple trees on the lawn, which are free for the picking, which was great. Since we went off season, we literally had the whole place to ourselves. Seriously, there was no staff and no other guests. Overall, a great peaceful experience.close

Although it was not in the central of the town, it only takes a few minutes walk from the bus station. It was cozy, clean and quiet.

great little hostel on the river, the staff don't really bother much with the hostel though, they were more concerned with the shop. Our room was fantastic, 4 beds with a couch and comfy chairs as well as it's own bathroom with a bath.

An ok hostel. The staff are never anywhere to be found, and can be a bit brusque and the showers are completely crap. However, it's a cheap place to stay, the rooms are quite nice and Cesky Krumlov is a beautiful town.

A good hostel with all the basics, except breakfast, but there is a supermarket right across the river. 10 minute walk to the historical center, and you can rent canoes and rafts at the hostel.

This hostel was fab, if a bit like my Nana's house in the countryside. It was nice, a bit old, needs a bit of sprucing up, but the girls who run it are lovely. Its close to the town and there are bikes and boats for hire. Quiet but does the job fine.

If you arrive at the Train station I recommend you to take a Taxi. Its not so expensive, adn you will get there soon. If you take the bus, it will take you to far out and you can get lost to get there. Its located outside the downtown area, but because the town is small its only like 15-20 min... more If you arrive at the Train station I recommend you to take a Taxi.

This hostel was adequate for a one night stay. The plumbing needs urgent attention. Only luke warm showeres, leaking toilets and sinks, and the hot water cylander squirts water across the bathroom! The dorm room had a lovely view of the river.

Havan hostel sits beside the beautiful river which flows through this charming old town. It's a ten minute walk to the old centre, but a pleasant one. The hostel is converted old houses, three in a row, managed energetically by Theresa. We had a lot of fun for a very reasonal, lets say cheap,...

Really enjoyed my stay in the hostel, and the town in general. Excellent friendly staff, and the ability to organise activities. Had a dorm to myself one night and was almost like staying in a hotel room ensuite. Thanks.

Quite a walk from the bus and train stations, but this is a haven for the backpacker. It's absolutely gorgeous, located along the river. Clean, colorful beds, security lockers and a friendly old man that holds campfires in the gardens. The water pressure in the bathroom was a bit of a problem,... more Quite a walk from the bus and train stations, but this is a haven for the backpacker.
