Definitely one of the nicer places in town
Paid a little extra, and it was definitely worth it. Very comfy bed and pillows. Everything had a clean feel to it. If I'm back in town, I'd love to stay here again.

Excellent hostel in Prague
I was only one night in the female dorm but it was very pleasant. Dorm is clean, good bathroom and even a little kitchen. On Friday there was “Free pancakes night”. Next morning I used the brunch option, excellent. I can only recommend this hostel :)

3 nights stay in Prague
Stayed for 3 nights. The location is quite nice as it’s very close to subway station. However, tram is the main transportation around the city so you need to expect 5-7 mins to the station. Staff at the hostel are very friendly and lift inside the property is a plus.

Clean accommodations, comfortable bed, and delicious and cheap breakfast. Only complaint was that the key cards demagnetized constantly. I had to replace mine 6-7 times during a three-night stay.

Great hostel
Great hostel, the breakfast offering (160 / 220 czh for hot breakfast) was fantastic and great value for money. The shared kitchen is well equipped. They have a bar and was handy to pick up a hot drink on the go.
Location: It's 10-15 mins walk to the main attractions. 5 mins walk to I P Pavola metro station / Štěpánská tram stop.
Towels are available to rent for 30 czh and deposit of 100 czh (note that require cash only, but there's a bank ATM 1 min away).
I'd highly recommend the traditional Czech restaurant U Dlabačů also 1 min walk away.

I usually don’t stay in Hostels but there was some holidays in Prague (also a Marathon) thst jacked up prices everywhere so decided to try this place. It turned out to be a very nice stay, comfortable beds with privacy screens and very clean washrooms and showers. Breakfast was at additional cost but was delicious. Also has an elevator - room was on 4 floor (mine was 6 beds). Rooms are quiet time after 10. I used my ear plugs and eye mask (as I hadn’t sleep for 24 hrs) and slept like a baby. Each bed has a plug for phone charging as well. Very nice experience overall - walked everywhere from hotel.

Excellent location just outside main area
The staff were friendly no matter what time of day. The bed was clean, and massive pillow which I loved! The downside was the snorer on the first night but it’s not the hostel’s fault and it’s part of the risk of staying in a shared accommodation. If these are things you hate, pay for a private room. The other people in my room were friendly and gave me tips for my next trip. I was apprehensive in staying in a hostel but I wanted to save so I can book an experience in the city and I made the perfect choice. Clean, airy and convenient location.

Banging!!!
I stayed in the 5 women dorm and it was perfect. Didn't realize there was a separate kitchen/eating area. That was great! The room itself was huge and super comfortable for 5 people, especially no bunk beds!! I can't say enough how much i loved the pillow! LOL... the entire stay was above my expectation. Staff super friendly and helpful. A totally 5 star experience! Thank you Sophie's Hostel! 😊👍

Mixed review
Pros:
The breakfast bar area is beautiful and really well set up — one of the highlights of the stay. Staff were very helpful and friendly, and the showers had easy, reliable hot water which was a big plus.
Cons:
Some rooms are extremely cramped, which can feel uncomfortable. If you’re on a top bunk, be careful — the beds aren’t against the walls, so pillows can easily fall off in the night. I also had an unpleasant experience where I was shouted at for using a toilet that was free in the next section, being told I had to stick to “my own” area, which felt unnecessary and unwelcoming. There are no privacy curtains on the beds, not all storage lockers actually lock (it’s a bit of a lucky dip), and the bed lighting/charging points are inconsistent — some beds have older lights, while others have modern LED lights that brighten the whole room (so you feel bad for switching them on) and poor sockets.
Overall:
This place has some lovely touches and very helpful staff, but it’s let down by inconsistent facilities and some strange rules. If you don’t mind a few inconveniences, you may enjoy it, but it’s not the most comfortable or private hostel stay I’ve had.

Good price, safe stay
I enjoyed my stay. There were 5 single beds available in the room. I could choose my bed. There was a bathroom with toilet and shower with hot water. The bathroom was very spacious.
There were utensils in the kitchen and a table with seats. There was a small fridge. It was possible to cook and make coffee.
Sheets were provided, but if you need towels you need to rent it and pay for a deposit fee. The deposit fee is recharged after your stay. They only accept cash as payment for that. I had to find an ATM to have cash. There’s one nearby - inside IBiS hotel.
I wish the cleaning was better. The bathroom always had a bad smell…I believe something about the drain. Also I had to ask the for paper toilet and toilets plastic bag. There is a lift.

Excellent city base
Very helpful person at check in, elevator, very very spacious and clean family room. Cool mix of backpackers and a few young families.
