83%Hostel Bell

If you don't mind walking past strip clubs and porn shops to get there this hostel is good for the money and in a very good location.

She doesn`t speak english so it was very hard to understand each other but finally we get the message across.

This is on the 3rd floor (no elevator) and kind of hard to spot from the street. There is a small plaque next to the buzzer and that is about it. Also, the owner (?) asks you to pay in CZ Crowns and her exchange rate was totally different to what it actually was (she said about 23CZK to 1 euro)... more This is on the 3rd floor (no elevator) and kind of hard to spot from the street.

Also, the owner (?) asks you to pay in CZ Crowns and her exchange rate was totally different to what it actually was (she said about 23CZK to 1 euro) which was even less than they were selling in the rip off exchange places so best to check before paying. It was a good quiet place to stay but would find somewhere else next time.close

Very personal place! It's like you're staying in their apartment. Highly reccomended. Make sure to lock up your stuff as the owners are only around a few hours a day.

Had the single room upstairs which is odd because the bathroom is between the room and the hall,so if someone is in the bathroom youre trapped in your room.

Close to pubs and shopping, within reasonable walking distance from all the "must dos" of Prague. Big room, comfy beds. No place to meet other travellers though, because of the size of the hostel. One of the two showers was attached to a bedroom so you couldnt use it without trapping someone in her room... So another bathroom would come to use, otherwise fine. Free tea, coffee and internet.close

I spent new year with 3 of my friends and we had a great time staying here and making new friends. A few times there wasn't much hot water for a shower and there is alot of stairs but well worth the stay at such a cheap price!

Do not make the hostel staff mad or they WILL rip your head off (or fine you). The beds are comfy but there is no internet (there is an internet centre 2 mins away) and probably not an ideal place if you want to have a lie-in. Does the job though if you need a cheap and clean place to stay.

Bell Hostel was very nice, had a big kitchen with everything you would need, free internet, lockers and the location was right in the center of town, very easy to get to from the airport. The staff was very kind and it was quite clean.

Very helpful staff upon arrival. Free, accessible internet and a full kitchen are pluses. They have several configurations of rooms, the 7 bed dorm is quite cramped and no individual reading lights but basically comfortable. I'd stay there again.

The lady running the hostel is positively lovely. How ever the hygiene is of a very bad standard mould and fleas under the beds caused a break out of welts from flea bites all over my body and resulted in me going to hospital. Bad Fleas. Not impressed Paula

You can walk to the city center from hostel but actually tram running by took me every where I wanted to go. It was perfect for me. Ladies who works here are very kind and Yeroslava is very unique person. I will come back this hostel again.
