Hostel Bell — Hotel in Prague

This is my third time returning to Hostel Bell, only this time it is under new management. Petr (the new owner) was an excellent accomodating host, and works very hard at keeping the establishment in tip top shape. The hostel is essentially an apartment with different rooms, so you can use the kitchen and come and go as you please. There is a kettle, free tea and coffee, a free shelf, a fridge to store your food, etc. and free WiFi (it didn't work too well in my room but I spent most of my time in the kitchen chatting to other guests anyways). It's a 15-minute walk away from the main attractions and in a generally safe neighbourhood, however if you're a solo female traveller you should definitely keep your wits about you when walking around past midnight (as is the case for most major cities in Europe) Overall I would highly recommend Hostel Bell and would be happy to return again. Word of note - please be respectful of Petr's time and tell him what time you're arriving/departing as he is the only staff...

I hate to give this place only 4/5 stars. The owner was really nice and it felt like I was staying in someone's home and it was great. Very pleasant. My only complaint:||||The location of my room. I was on the top floor of the apartment/hostel, no big deal. But my room was located BEHIND the bathroom. Toilet and shower were separate rooms but if you wanted to take a shower you walked in and saw the room with the tub and a door, and that was my room. I kept it locked but there were a few awkward moments when people thought someone was in the shower for 2.5 hours (and they didn't know there was a room there).||||But yeah, I paid equivalent of about 17-20$ for a single room on a Thursday night so I couldn't really complain.||||Location is good but not if you just want to visit the Clock tower and the others. I liked it because it was on the outskirts so it wasn't SO touristy.||||Also, there is a great bar nearby called Illegal Beer run by a young couple. I went there a few times during my stay and it...

This hostel is very affordable and in a great location. From the train station, it only took my friends and I about 10 minutes to walk. The hostel itself is just off the street from Wenceslas Square, so it was very easy to walk to the main attractions (as Prague is very walkable and small). I came with three friends and we were all able to book up all the beds in a four bedroom room for a very reasonable price. Right outside our room was a kitchen which was free to use, so that was very nice for breakfast. The hostel itself was very quiet and the staff was very friendly. ||Some people have noted that there are a few strip clubs down the street, but my three girl friends and I did not feel scared or uneasy walking back to the hostel at night. We had a very good experience here and would recommend...
