Was the quiet season so we were the only two in the hostel but this is a brilliant little place with a terrace over the river.

We did fell like it was more of a guest house though as the 'guest kitchen' was actually her own and we were cooking our dinner while she was giving an English Lesson there! Skippy was really great though and organised our taxi from the train station (which by the way was double what she said it would be) and our bus to Austria. Would recommend but probably be better in the summer when it is busy.close

Nice little place, clean & simple. Kitchen is good. The best bit is the outside decking area with table/chairs, with a perfect view over the water.

Fantastic place to stay. I would recomend it to anyone heading to Cesky Krumlov. Sure its not in the centre of town but come on its a five minute walk and a beautiful one at that. Quaint is a great word to describe it. You could also use charming, idyllic, character, the list goes on. If swanky... more Fantastic place to stay.

You could also use charming, idyllic, character, the list goes on. If swanky hotels and mod cons are what you are after then you should probably stick to the capital cities and leave the beautiful old town and villages to those who are going to appreciate it.close

Fantastic place, so much character, owner Skippy was so helpful and interesting. We had the private double room which was great and views were stunning. Highly recommended.

One of my favourite hostels. It is very different from the others, is like being in your own house. You can eat next to the river. If I returned to Cesy Krumlov I would stay here.

Could not rate this place any higher, a home away from home. Pure bliss. The only thing you will regret is not staying longer. Skippy you rock!!

Loved it! Skippy is the sweetest and it's just a really chill, funky place to hang out for a couple of days. Also, there's a really awesome pub just down the street and the terrace overlooks the river. Fantastic!

This is a lovely hostel. Perfect for relaxing. The owners are sweet and respectful and happy to help you find whatever kind of distraction you are looking for. Great river views. If you are travelling in a pair get the double room. Very romantic.

If you are looking for a nice cosy place go for Skippys. I wish I had more time to spend there. She is a great host and the pub 15 m down the street is one of the best in the world.

This hostel is more like a home than a hostel, it was great to sit on the deck facing the river and meet the other guests. It was far enough out of the town to be pretty quiet but close enough to walk everywhere. My favourite hostel I've encountered so far...

adorable hostel. really funky. staff was super friendly. amazing terrace in the back that looked out on the river. kitchen was fully stocked. only drawback was one shower for around 20 people. and the absence of a shower curtain was a little non-optimal as well.

Hostel Skippy is a really small hostel perfect for a relaxing few nights. I wouldn't recommend it for anyone looking to party, but Cesky Krumlov is not exactly a party town so the hostel suited the surroundings. It has a really homey feel about it emphasised by the dogs and guitars. Great hostel,...
