Two bathrooms ( one with sowher another with bath/shower), kitchen and a computer with internet access. Excellent location(15 minute walk from City Square), even the view from the window was awesome (castle hill). It does not have a reception, so make sure you give the guy that runs it a call when you are about to show up and he`ll meet you there. I can recomend it to anybody.close

Maybe you can provide some basic cooking staff in kitchen such as salt and oil.

Great view from the room's window. Small hostel, so not recommended if you want to party, very quiet and clean. Only problem is the fact that they have no recepcionist so if you have a problem you must give them a call. Also, the internet was free, but at some point it requested a password and...

The hostel's small, so very cosy and quiet. If that's what you're after, it's perfect! If you want to party hard, pick another hostel (it's impossible to work out all the security locks if you're not sober!).

Great locations within walking distance of the main attractions as well as a reasonable walk out to the cheaper pubs and restaurants. Would definitely stay again.

A big and clean room, nice staff members. you can see that the place is running by men since there is no body mirror at the whole place, we had to guess how do we look like... besides the heat wasn't working in our room and the guy didn't know how to fix it (so we got an extra blanket). in...

Different to a normal hostel. Rooms were massive with only 6 beds (not bunks) and free lockers big enough to store anything you would be travelling with. No wi-fi but free net on a PC and great little kitchen. Great relaxing quiet place close enough to walk everywhere. Highly recommend.

Rooms are nice - large, no bunks and with lockers. Great location but more signage required. It was a bit annoying to have to ring the manager when we arrived and then he forgot when we were leaving so we had to ring him again. It would have been nice to have a bin in the toilet.

Great location but not having a reception there was a negative. Nice flat with big rooms and the beds weren't bunk beds making sleep easier. Worth the stay for the price and the two who work it were very nice.

It had a very serious problem in our female only room. At the first night, one of my room mate was bit by bed bugs and got red spot over her neck. Although the owener came to the hostel the end, it was around 1:30am and after two calls. The owner is a nice guy but the cleanlinesss of this hostel...

ES ESTUPENDO, Lo unico que desaparece la comida y no hay staff 24 h, pero si un movil al que puedes llamar. Son muy amables y dan soluciones a todo. Mucho mejor que el Prague Square Hostel, que todo son problemas y tienen mucho morro. RESERVA EN RIVER SIN DUDARLO.

Communications should be better between the staff in the hostel and the telephone receptionist as there can be confusions.

The man is very nice. But the woman is impatient. The hostel is near to the river. But it's a little far from the subway station. So, it is unconvenient if you take a heavier luggage.

This is the best hostel I've been to. So clean, big rooms, the view from our window to the river was amazing. Coming back to the hostel and having this kitchen almost for yourself was so good! It´s like beeing at home, and it is just in the middle of Prague's two hot spots!

Right on the river, with a wonderful view of Prague. Be warned that reception is not always available. You must call when you have arrived so someone will come meet you at the hostel to check in. Not very social, it tends to be quiet.Tons of space, normal beds instead of bunks, locker in room, & good kitchen. Loved my stay, I was very comfortable. I would recommend this hostel to anyone who isn't looking for somewhere to party or meet a lot of people.close
