Great location and facilities but no staff on site to offer guidance on where to go, what to see etc left us feeling a little isolated.

Kafka's Castle is in a great location, just off Narodni. Its opposite Tesco's and just round the corner from the producers of the best hot chocolate in the world, Café Louvre!

Its opposite Tesco's and just round the corner from the producers of the best hot chocolate in the world, Café Louvre! It shouldn't really be described as a hostel because it's more like apartments which suited us very nicely! The hostel next door can be VERY noisy and there is a bar downstairs so I'd recommend you bring ear plugs if you are a light sleeper. Our studio flat was very nice with a hob and fridge, we loved it! The only thing that wasn't so good was that the toilet really smelled for no apparent reason. This is our second trip to Praha (we stayed at Hostel Bridge 2 before) and we would definitely stay at Kafka's again.close

Has got good kitchen facilities, is very spacious has a great location. The staff were very friendly but you had to call them using a payphone anytime you wanted to get in touch which was a bit impractical.

Bed was horribly uncomfortable and there was lot of noise coming from outside. This made it VERY difficult to sleep. Also, the toilet smelt horrid and the place was unbearably hot, despite it being freezing outside.

If you are looking for a cheap apartment which is almost brand spanking new then this place is perfect. Its not really what I would call a hostel as we didnt really meet anyone else...but the clean huge bath after a month of travelling definitely won over my heart!

It's more an apartment than a hostel, as you don't meet other people. It's a very nice room but really extremely loud as there is a club below it and people are realy noisy on the street. staff is really nice, but there was a weird stain on one of the beds.

This house is so near subway, tram, and tesco. But, one thing is so bad. The room I reserved is private bathroom, yet I need to share the bathroom with others finally. It is not worth to pay a lot for a shared bathroom.

Not being able to lock the bathroom door in the second floor of the top apartment on spalena 47, was a bit lame. Otherwise this was a good accommodation.

Great place, near everything you want to be near, with a big Tesco's across the road. Also with a decent fridge, hob, and plates cutlery etc.. it makes for a cheaper stay in Prague (which we found to be more expensive than everyone seems to think!)

The only drawback was itwas apartment like so no social capabilities. There were also a great dal of mosquitoes or some other bug, but that was attributed to the open windows, not cleanliness. I would definitely stay there again!close

Good location, next to the old town. This is a nice big appartment however, not the ideal place to meet people. Best for groups of friends travelling togetsher. There are several doors to lock/unlock and a bar at the ground-floor level of the building. Still the place is safe and well located.

Our room was at a building where, at the basement, there is a bar... a bit noisy... if you want beer and music all night long ok, but if you want to rest after a day walking... The room/toilet was clean but the bed was terrible and dirty.

This place is very similar to an apartment. It was very clean and had a lot of space. It was located on top of a bar, so there were some sketchy people downstairs and outside but there are like 5 doors you have to unlock to get to the apartment. The only other downside was that there was no front...
