"I throughly enjoyed my stay here. It had a cost and homely feel.
It started with a friendly check in experience. The two ladies were apologetic about the fact that the lift had malfunctioned and as I was staying 5 nights across a weekend (when not likely to get fixed quickly) they were rearranging the room to put me on a lower floor.
The room had 3 bunk beds of wooden construction, enclosed on three sides with curtains. Inside the mattress was narrower than the platform, though the upside meant there was a ‘shelf’ the full length of bed on to which I could put many items (drinks, clothes, handbags etc). Hooks inside and outside the bed space. Individual lights and two power sockets. It feels very roomy , like your own living space.
The room had shelving, under bed drawers big enough for carry on luggage (own padlock needed), table and chairs.
Showers and toilets are in the corridor, my first thought that there was not enough but I never needed to wait as they were occupied. Hairdryer at sink. Kept clean. Each bed is provided with a small hand towel: I thought this was a great idea as it was sufficient to dry off and saved heavy use of my travel towel.
Front entrance, corridors and rooms accessed by key card access. It felt like a safe place.
I made frequent use of the self catering kitchen that was clean, modern and well equipped. There were plenty of storage boxes provided.
There is a common area in front of reception. Beer and food available. Reliable WiFi.
Location was very good. 10 min walk from the train station and drop off place of FlixBus. Vegan restaurant 10min walk. 5 min walk to Wenceslas square which has many shops and Christmas market food stalls. 10-15min walk to old town square with the astronomical clock and main Christmas market. With how busy the old town Centre is I am so glad to not be staying right in/next to it. I went to performances at the national theatre and Dvorak Hall and after evening performances felt safe walking back to the hostel. It is very easy to get around by walking or tram.
If I go back to Prague, this is where I will stay."
"I found bedbug on the bed. Room number is 7-115
I spent 3 nights in the hotel and I noticed an insect on the pillow at the first night. I had no idea the insect is a bedbug at that time until I left the hotel and felt itchy. When I was in the airport, I search online what happened . I found that the insect was a bedbug. I also remembered there are several blood mark on the bed sheet. At that time I assured I met with bedbug"
"I was going to give this a 10/10, I genuinely was. Extremely worth it, location was convenient, and had everything I need (more, actually, because I ended up with three beds despite being a solo traveller).
Even when I say poor, the cleanliness wasn't that bad. I moved a chair and when the leg grazed the bed it left a huge dirt mark, but that would still have been acceptable. What got to me was that on the night before check out, I found suspicious stains on one of the bed runners that looked like blood. At that point I figured there was no point in reporting it, but honestly even while knowing the runners don't really get washed this isn't just dirty, it's potentially a biohazard. As I said, everything else was great, but this really sunk the entire thing for me."
