Hostel Marabou Reviews

Best hostel ever. Simply. Nothing more to add.

Very friendly staff, welcome beer, a lot of fun with the people from all the world! Breakfast was fantastic too! We will come back!

Very nice place to stay, the hosts receive you with the smile and a free welcome beer! I was in a comfortable 14 beds dormitory and you can borrow a padlock for the cupboard. The interior decoration is very friendly, there are all you need in the kitchen just next to a lovely living-room. Icing on the cake, you'll find downstairs a huge lounge with a billiard table, a table football, sofas and tables where you can stay all night long. You can walk to get to the town center or take the bus!

I've stayed here twice for about 4 days at a time. Excellent and very helpful staff. I marked down security because there were a couple incidents of theft the second time I stayed there involving a strange middle-aged, barefoot, man. He unnerved quite a few guests. In the staff's defense, they tried their best to kick him out, but I guess he was just adamant on staying. Zizkov's a great neighborhood and the center is only 15-20 min walking. I'll return.

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.

I have to say the location is not too nice. Can reach easily by tram, but you have to pay. But other than that, It is an EXCELLENT HOSTEL. Though no hot food, the breakfast is really nice with a great variety of bread and cereal. The staff is extremely helpful :) I missed the bus and have to arrive the hostel a day later. Then Thomas (owner?) is very helpful in changing my booking without charging any extra money. And the facilities are nice. And welcome beer is nice! Would definitely recommend!

I loved this hostel! Everyone was really nice and it was very clean. Its a little bit of a walk from the city center, but the bus stops right outside the door. They also sell bus tickets at the hostel, which is really convenient. I would defiantly stay here again.

We liked this hostel very much, mainly because of the great atmosphere and staff! The location was good, a bit outside old town but the busstop was just outside the door. The kitchen was very useful and the breakfast was delicious! The only bad thing was the lack of good lights and the cellar was a bit shabby. But overall a GREAT place!

One of the better hostels I stayed at. Very large pubic areas, nice and down-to-earth people at the reception and great beer on the tap. Overall I can recommend everyone staying here!

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!!!

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

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.

Located on the main bus line to get downtown which made it super easy to get to all the main attractions. Lots of character, beer and drinks available at the small bar. Breakfast was good, full kitchen an asset. Room and everything was comfortable and clean. Only complaint is the basement rec area, where the computers are, is musty and smells. Overall though, good place to stay.

The twin room we stayed in was windowless but clean and secure. The hostel had a great chill out area and the staff were really friendly and helpfui.

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.

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

i suggest it for sure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

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

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 :)
