Hostel Marabou Reviews

This hostel has lots of potential with a good location, quite large common areas and a great staff. On the downside, the linen provided was made for midgets. The cover sheet doesn't cover the entire mattress, and the top blanket is smaller than the bed. The showers are extremely annoying, to get water one must continuously press the button. Showering one handed is not my favourite. The hand towel in the bathroom were not changed in 10+ days. Don't forget your free welcome beer :)

This hostel was better than I expected. Only a flaw: The bathrooms are not regularly cleaned and that was really annoying. The floor of the bathroom looked like really unclean. Besides everything was good. The breakfast was just ok, nothing especial, lots of cereals though for the cereal lovers. The location is quite good, it's easy to get there day and night.

A very lovely hostel with a friendly atmosphere, the rooms were nice (we had a double room) the bed was a bit hard but otherwise okay. You get free breakfast and the hostel facilities are great. Its not in the centre but its easy to get around everywhere via public transport, definately recommending this to all travellers.

The best hostel I've stayed at, especially for the price!! Such a cool atmosphere and place to hang out. Highly recommended. The only downfall was it wasnt in the city center, but figure out the bus and tram before you leave the hostel and you should be fine.

Good hostel, nice people and very cheap. It's a bit far from old town but there are several quick transports so no need to worry.

Very good hostel, great breakfast, only issue was with security and no one being on the desk in the early morning.

Real cheap beer and the people working were real nice and helpful.

Best hostel ever. Simply. Nothing more to add.

I really enjoyed this hostel. I loved that linens, internet, and breakfast were included in the price. I only had one problem - on our first morning there we were woken up by 6 girls coming in our room - they had checked in before 8:00 in the morning. I have never been to a hostel that allowed guests to check in so early, and I don't think it was fair to us who had paid for the night before. Check in should ALWAYS be after 12:00.

I thought the staff and the owner were all very attentive and pleasant. The rooms were comfortable and the showers and bathrooms were definitely not disgusting or smelly. My first hostel, and a very good one. As far as breakfast, it's just cereal which is fine because their sales are cheap. Really good hostel. A total recommendation.

Really nice! nice staff, nice breakfast:) i would better to stay here more than 1 night i could leave my lugage after check out time, so i could have more comfortable trip thank you

Hostel is really nice, friendly staff, free welcome beer, good free breakfast! The private twin rooms have no window, but it wasn't a problem (at least in October). There is no noise control after 23:00 as they say. So if you need to rest this might be a problem.

You have to press a button in the shower to get water... it only lasts for about a minuet and a half... the shower itself is bright but the outside of the shower and toilets are dim.. oh yes, and no outside alcohol.. mmmm.. its cheep if you reserve in advance.. yep its cheep.. oh yeah... the bedding is really old, like holes in it old

Good place to stay but a bit far from city centre. Need to take the bus or take a 20minute walk (fast walk). Really good free breakfast, lots of cereal, muesli, breads etc. Secure lockers. Lots of info and friendly staff. Good clean showers. Rooms had a bit of a smell but not that bad. Overall a good hostel, no problems, however not a hostel for people looking to party.

The welcome beer not offered. Booo! Breakfast adequate but nothing special - cereals, bread, jam and processed cheese. Location very good, away from the Old Town but within 30 min. walk. Area has lots of character and local colour,good bars, restaurants. clubs. The basement definitely smells damp and not inviting to spend time in despite couches and pool table. One night the place was invited by a horde of teenagers who made noise all night in spite of a sign that says quiet after 11 p.m.

Decent location outside of the city. There is a bus stop right outside of the hostel. The bed and sheets were a bit damp... So that was a bit uncomfortable. Staff was very helpful and the welcome beer was one of te best tasting beers I have had.

windows could not be opend, room was smelling very bad in the morning!

This was my favourite hostel by far! Staff were incredibly friendly, place was clean, free beer and a good kitchen with great breakfast. Lockers were safe but my girlfriend's bag got looked through in the luggage storage bit (luckily we keep our valuables on us all the time so no problems occured). Rooms were a little cold but no worries other than that!!!

The staff were terrific, and the ease of a short bus ride to the core of Prague was great. Mý one complaint is that there were no windows anýwhere so the place was dark and not fresh smelling at all. Perhaps ýoung people don't mind that but I'm not sure older travellers would enjoý this place much with loud music blaring from 7 am to late at night.

Good beds, lockers, key cards for each room, strong WiFi, shared computers to use, a great common area, and free welcome beer are the best parts of this hostel. As a solo traveler, I met people daily to explore the city and experience the night life. The only downside is the location, which has good access to public transportation but is a 30-45 minute walk from Old Town.
