I stayed there with my younger brother for a week. We booked a twin room (no bathroom). It was basic (two beds, a wardrobe, a table, 2 chairs - enough for a hostel room - you don't expect more) and clean. the toilets and bathrooms were cleaned every day in the early morning so when we woke up, they were...

I first stayed here in 2003 for over a month, then again for a few days in July 2008. A lot had been done in between visits. The rooms are still relatively basic, but when you're in Prague, all you'll really want out of a room is a place to sleep anyway. The hostel now has wifi, and the double... More

I was really pleased with the conditions in the hostel. Everything is clean and neat; and you can adjust, for instance, the heating to your preferences. Breakfast, which was included in the price of the stay, was also really good. The staff were really friendly and helpful.

I was there with my firends, and we have very nice impression about the place, and consequently about the city. The hostel is nice, stuff isn't annoying. I would say, nothing special, but also no negative remarks couldn't be done. The breakfast could be better, but if you need cup of coffee in the morning, with a sandwich, you'll be... More

I have stayed at hostel U Melounu for 7 nights - it's quite a lot. 4-5 days are fairly enough to see everything that Prague can show. However, I managed to stay glad thanks to hostel u Melounu. It's very close to the metro station (4-5 minutes) and if I wished to, I could have easily get to the Old... More

This hostel is tucked away from the noisy, crowded and dirty Prague city streets, yet it's only a 5 - 10 minute walk from the city center (Muzeum). The fact that the U Melounu is in a 300year old UNESCO protected building adds a charm that I have never experienced in a hostel before. It has a beautiful courtyard to... More

I booked a private double room and was quite happy with it. Very simple & small but clean. Several shared bathrooms down the hall were clean. Breakfast was served in a very charming "cellar", and they have a nice huge outdoor 'patio" in the back of the hostel. The folks manning the front desk very pleasant and helpful. My only... More

I didn't want to give a poor rating as I do think many hostels try hard to please, but this one couldn't be avoided, especially considering the alternatives I will describe. I made my reservation for a "private apartment" via the Internet, locking in for $36US dollars per night. I guess "private apartment" has different definitions. What I got was... More

Myself and 12 other girls stayed at this hostel for 2 nights in October 2008. Wasn't quite sure what to expect but this place was so cute! Not your conventional hostel, there is a lovely garden/courtyard that all rooms open on to, which I imagine would be lovely in summer. Only 5 mins walk from IP Pavlova metro station, and... More
