Charles Bridge Hostel & Apartments

The location of this hostel is fantastic! You are pretty much on top of Charles bridge in the centre of old town. You could not be in a better location for being in the middle of Prague history. The building itself is also pretty old and historic giving you a lovely vibe when you're staying there. The staff are manning the tourist desk as well as the hostel so are there until quite late at night as well as being super friendly and helpful. It's all stairs as expected from an old building but the man on the desk helped me with my bag which was very much appreciated. The rooms were some of the largest I've seen in hostels. I was in a 6 bed bunk room and there was so much space as well as a communal area with sofas etc for chilling, big windows out onto the street and a kitchen/sitting area. I saw a couple of people there with laptops on calls so good for working/digital nomad activities also. Overall enjoyable experience and a great base for touristy activities especially on foot. The trams are also super close both ways - either 5 mins walk to the tram up towards the castle or walk over the bridge and then trams right there into the new town.

The hotel is in a very good location, practically in the city center. At first, I had difficulty finding the hotel – I found the area but couldn’t figure out which building the hotel was in. Eventually, after entering several buildings, I found it. 😄 The room was an 8-bed dorm. It was a good size with enough space for everyone. The beds were comfortable and clean. There were also lockers/boxes to store personal belongings. The room was slightly dirty, but that’s probably because there were eight people staying in it. However, the common areas – kitchen and bathroom – were very clean. The temperature in the room was excellent, despite the very cold weather outside. The staff was very kind and friendly. From the start, they greeted us warmly and explained everything in detail. After checkout, they even told me I could store my luggage for free until my flight. In short, it’s a very good hotel in an excellent location, reasonably priced, with a great staff.

The location and price are good. You are on the Charles Bridge, walking distance from the astrological clock and the castle with the cathedral. The ceiling in the female dormitory was interesting. There is a big shower and lots of space to put your clothes down (which is not always the case in hostels). The bed was comfortable.

The location was great, it was right at the doorstep of Charles Bridge. The room was very spacious and the beds were separate i.e. not bunk beds so was easy to get in/out of bed. The bathroom was also very spacious and private with a huge shower, make up mirror and hair dryer. Locks were also provided for lockers which was beside your bed. There were kitchenette facilities where you can get water, heat things up etc and apparently you could get reception to make you a tea, coffee or hot chocolate although I did not do this. Free luggage storage after check out time.

VERY friendly staff! Room was clean and comfortable and although we had trouble with the television, the person on duty was extremely helpful in sorting it out. It was surprisingly quiet for the location, which is right at the end of the famous Charles Bridge. I don't think there could be a better location/deal when visiting Prague with limited time. Great coffee and discount in some cases when booking excursions at the front desk. We stayed there with two teenagers and would do it again! There's a McDonalds very close by and a small convenience store across the road. Don't bargain on doing any real "grocery shopping" nearby though...
