Ratings and reviews
2.0 / 10.0
Terrible and rude service. Somewhat clean. Only one shower for 8-12 people and often leads to long waiting times. Would not recommend.
4.0 / 10.0
Knowing it is a hostel, it’s fine. However there should be either more bathrooms/shower rooms or fewer beds. There was one shower and one bathroom for 12 people, including the private room.
Also, the soap in the bathroom was always empty so we would need to go to the shower (or the kitchen) to was our hands.
On a positive note, the staff was very friendly and helpful. There is a cash deposit for the stay (which is fine) that is returned upon checkout and also a deposit for borrowing towels (which was not asked of me at all).

Good
6.0 / 10.0
OK for the rate charged; but the ca do little fixes for better reviews: Fix shower-room’s door locking mechanism.
Main door was hard to open from both the inside and outside. Many times the electronic device did not work with main door

Stayed there for 1 night and i was told i had to give a 10e deposit which was understandable but i saw a sign that said people leaving next day must go to reception to pick up their deposit? The guy in reception knew i was leaving next day and still took my deposit? What was the point? Went to my room and there was a bar right outside my window, i think the bar is the same property,anyway, the noise was horrendous, so loud, people shouting and singing until after 12am, i couldnt sleep at all, the property is very old fashioned, kinda like the days of dracula or something, i did like that its very central and close to everything, and it was cheap so you 1 night was ok for me, prob wont go back, but i did get my deposit back 😉

The hostel was not portrayed honestly on the website. Our private room with private facilities was in fact in an apartment with shared bathroom and kitchen
4.0 / 10.0
Lower bunks have a privacy curtain but the upper bunks don’t so you’re screwed if you get upper bunk and when I asked if i could change beds, they couldn’t because apparently all the beds were booked even though one in my room was empty. Also there’s zero ventilation (safety concern??) in the room so the room was so hot despite it being spring, and imagine 6 other guys in the room, how bad it would smell.
5.0 / 10.0
Excellent central location, within easy walk of both the old and new town. Plenty of restaurants, supermarkets, bars in the immediate area.
Rooms were spacious, regularly cleaned and airy. Useful kitchen for cooking/eating.
Only -ve is that if you have a bed by the window the street noise from the trams can be disturbing, but not overly excessive.
4.0 / 10.0
For the price that I paid, Travel&Joy Backpackers is the perfect cost benefit option. You can't expect that much comfort, but is enough for 3-5 days. Also, the location is amazing and nearby the hostel you can find a lot of restaurant and public transport options. I recommend.

Simple, but in line with the price range and with a wonderful location. A perfect cost benefit.
3.0 / 10.0
A good cheap place stay. We had a private room so we were in an apartment with 2 other rooms. Beds were falling apart and mattresses old and sunken. if you want a cheap and clean place to sleep this is it though. Good kitchen facilities, although there was no oven. The best part was the location. We walked everywhere. The main sites are about 15-20 minutes away by foot.

Genial
6.0 / 10.0
Very loud. The train runs all day and night right outside. Other then that the place is just fine.
8.0 / 10.0
The staff was excellent! No elevator is disadvantage.
4.0 / 10.0
Lots to like about this place. The location is very good, close to metro and tram stops, and near many of Prague's big attractions. The rooms are spacious and cheery (the one I was in even had a grand piano in it!). And there's a great restaurant/bar with a large outdoor, shaded patio area. The only drawback is that there was one toilet for 18 people to share. If someone was in there, the closest WC was three floors down next to the reception desk.
8.0 / 10.0
Great location, just a few blocks from the Old Square. Comfortable facilities, and helpful staff. For some reason, in the women's dorms, people didn't talk together much, maybe worried about disturbing others?
3.0 / 10.0
The room was at the top of a great deal of stairs. Really a lot to climb, with no elevator. There were many guests, that were from a different nationality that had no idea how to act in a hostel. They arrived well after the quiet time and very noisily unpack, chatted, had showers, left lights on all over and flooded the bathroom with water and mess. When the staff was told about it they said oh yes, we know. No idea about I forcing the rules so the rest of us were comfortable.
4.0 / 10.0
It had a bit of a funny smell and the mattresses weren't the comfiest, but was definitely nice enough for a last-minute, affordable, private room. The bathroom, kitchen, and living space was shared with the other private room, but was well furnished and comfortable.
8.0 / 10.0
The location is good. The living room, kitchen, bathroom are goods. But the lockers are too small, everyone cant put their luggage in the locker. No privacy between the beds.
5.0 / 10.0
Wonderful hostel. So comfortable. It is like staying in a perfect flat.
