Hostel Boathouse
Prague 4 – riverfront. This is personally recommended and is located on the riverfront at Branik. Accessible by trams both day and night (eight stops to the centre or approx 12 minutes). VERY popular in the Summer because of it’s close proximity to “Zlute Lazne” which is the beach party area of the riverside. Has an excellent restaurant called Soho+ and a nice Greek restaurant a bit further up the road. As a guide, you will find this Prague hostels homepage at www.hostelboathouse.com.
Hostel Czech Inn
Prague 2 – Vinohrady. This is possibly the highest standard hostel at present with the exception of Miss Sophies (October 2006 – they are sister hostels). Lots of new fittings etc. Attracts a good crowd by the sound of it. Not the cheapest by far and you’ll be using trams or the metro most of the time (buy a travel pass). Recommended. As a guide, you will find this Prague hostels homepage at www.czech-inn.com.
Hostel Clown and Bard
Prague 3 – Zizkov. Located in Borivojova but it’s only a 5 minute walk to the tram line in Seifertova. Opinions vary along the lines of “laid back”, “great”, “old and dated”. It depends on the time of year I guess. I used to recommend this place more as it was cheap. Now I’ve switched to Miss Sophies. Young crowd and has the “atmosphere” often looked for by hostel clientele. As a guide, you will find this Prague hostels homepage at www.clownandbard.com.
Hostel Miss Sophies
Wenceslas Square area. The first of a pair of modern hostels (the other is the “Czech Inn” in the Vinohrady area) and I personally recommend both. Excellent facilities, lots of options for dorms (up to 5 sharing), en-suite rooms (single/double/twin) or even private apartments. Free internet, breakfast (with kitchen) included. Friendly staff.

Hostel Rosemary
Wenceslas Square. Prices based on Winter/Summer seasons and starting at 10 Euros a night for a larger dorm. Prices do not include breakfast. Private en-suite rooms with kitchenette available. Pretty good location about 3 minutes walk from the main railway station and another 5 minutes to Wenceslas Square. Prague hostels may offer local Prague deals so their homepage is at www.rosy.cz/en.
Hostel Chili
Wenceslas Square. Located at Pstrossova 7 in the New Town. 12 minute walk to Wenceslas Square or 15 minutes to either the Old Town Square or Charles Bridge. This place has the atmosphere looked for by backpackers. Dormitories are mixed but private rooms can be turned into mini female-only dorms. Deposits are required for electrical goods, key/linen etc. Nice beer cellar and a small games room for relaxing with a beer and playing a little pool or table football. Breakfast is not included but the buffet is worth it and it’s served to the room………JOKING… Prague hostels may offer local Prague deals so their homepage is at www.chili.dj.
Hostel Downtown
Wenceslas Square. Basically fill in the arrival/departure and click OK. You’ll be presented with “average” prices for different types of rooms. This place has a female-only dormitory. There’s a good deal for 4/5 people sharing a room with bathroom. Other than that there are better options for hostels. Located in Narodni about 150 metres from the National Theatre and a 6 minute walk to Wenceslas Square. Prague hostels may offer local Prague deals so their homepage is at www.hostel-downtown.cz.
