Cheerful and welcoming, with colourful murals brightening the walls, one of Prague’s most sociable hostels has a good mix of people from backpackers to families. Facilities are good, with lockers in the dorms, luggage storage and 24-hour reception. The staff are very helpful and the location could hardly be more central, just a five-minute walk east of Old Town Square.
