Prague Hostels – The Cheapest Accommodation
All of the Prague Hostels on this page are open all year. They all offer great locations and lively atmospheres but take a closer look to find what special features they have. Some offer breakfast as part of your stay or hi-speed internet or a bar etc. Prices will vary based on location bed-type and season.
Hostel Franz Kafka
Old Town. Opened in 2009 in Kaprova (links the Old Town Square with the river road) at the Kafka Square end of the road. An option for people who want to stay central. Breakfast available but not included in price. Prague hostels may offer local Prague deals so their homepage is at www.hostelfranzkafka.com.
Hostel New Generation
Prague 1 Old Town. This and the Kafka are the most centrally located of the hostels. I have never slept here myself but I eat at the adjacent Dhaba Beas restaurant which shares the courtyard and I have had a lot of good feedback over the years. As a ballpark figure allow EUR20 per night. They have different room configurations including a women-only dorm. https://www.newgenerationhostel.com/hostel/prague-center
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. As a guide, you will find the Prague hostels homepage at https://sophieshostel.com.
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.
Hostel Sokol
Mala Strana. Located on Kampa. Cheap prices considering the location on this side. They just started a big reconstruction here so check the link to see when it reopens. No breakfast. Guarded parking. Swimming Pool (public at weekends). 20 minute walk up to the castle and 15 minutes to the Old Town Square. Avoid Kampa Park at night if possible.
