The Argentinian girl at reception was great! We had lockers in the room and bathroom was clean, however the shower was tiny and there was no place to hang your clothes but not a major issue. Great shower by the way. Breakfast was quite simple but a selection of sandwiches was available. Location couldn't be ANY better and is the highlight in this hostel.

Perfect location, clean and lots of different people from across the world stayed there so we met a lot of different people. The only thing that was not absolutely perfect was the Wifi. I don't care much about Wifi when I travel, but other people I traveled with were bothered with how spotty the connection was. But they do have a computer lab you can use instead.

No curtains and bright lights on outside! The receipt was in Euros but you have to pay in Czech Korona. No noise protection from outside, which was very loud on Friday night! All the other guests were only there to party so were disrespectful about noise levels. One of the staff was extremely unfriendly and unhelpful... NOT RECOMMENDED!

hostel is all good except its hard to find time to rest beucase its noisy all night long. groups of young ppl are running though the staircase and my room was located on the backside of the hostel with a window towards the entrance of a bar --> even more noise-harassment. you definitely cant fall asleep before 3/4o'clock :( i thought about asking the staff to give me back my money for 2 of the 4 "nights" i stayed there... i wont stay there again

Great location and very helpful and professional reception. The security lockers in the room for each individual is awesomel! Great value for little money! The only bad thing was that the internet only worked on two of the three computers and the kitchen is a bit small when everyone tries to get food and then there is no space to sit down and eat. But I did love the coco pops cereal!! Thanks for a great stay!

Heater in the room on the top floor was very hot, and non-ajustable. Female bathroom also on top floor was impossible to take a shower without everybody's been able to see you. And the shower floods with water during the bath. These things aside, the hostel is in a great location, the staff is good and the breakfast too. Good value for money!

Great location, couldnt be any better. Breakfast was included and good and nice to have a kitchen and lounge area. Mattress on bed was pretty thin & uncomfortable, hurt my back.

One of the girls behind the desk was of very little help. She was very vague in her answers to our questions. Also, the showers were very awkward and there was no room to get dressed/undressed without someone being able to see.

Hostel was really good, rooms are clean, you get a key for your own locker, its in the middle of all the great sights, only bad thing was the showers, no privacy to undress and get dressed..

Really nice!!!! Only one problem with my stay: the food I bought "disappeared" from the fridge, but that's the people, not the hostel so everything good! I very strongly recommend it!!!!!! and I know anytime I go back to Prague I will be staying there!

location best! breakfast was bad,sandwiches are so hard to eat,nearly cause hard palate bleeding! usually not enough places to sit n enjoy,full of people~wireless internet was unstable n best at ground floor~facilities are good,bathrooms n toilets always available.lockers are big enough for your backpack.staffs are unfriendly as they always busy with their own,n so impatient when u try to ask about the recommendations! lockers are big enough for your backpack.

The rooms are much smaller than the pictures make them look: our 5-bed room was very cramped. However the facilities are good and the location is absolutely perfect. If you don't have high expectations of the room you will love it.

The hostel is awesome, really in the center and close to everything, you can go anywhere in 5-10 minutes just walking. The kitchen and the common areas are a little small for the amount of people that the hostel can host and they may get a little crowded quickly, but they are ok anyway. It is going to be my first option when I go back to Prague

Really enjoyed our stay at the Prague Square Hostel. Our daily breakfasts with other guests was always a nice way to start the day before venturing out into the cold (Although, the coffee wasn't great - so maybe that's something to improve. Not to worry, there is plenty of good coffee in Prague). Also, it might be wise to assign guests to beds in the dorm-style suites because there seemed to be some confusion as to who slept where one night upon returning to our room.

The staff were really friendly and helpful. The windows in room 207 didn't shut properly, which meant that smoke smells from outside were a bit of a problem at night. Other then that, I enjoyed my stay :)

The staff was friendly and helpful and approachable. Cleanliness was on par with any other hostel I've stayed in. The location was AMAZING. The in-room lockers worked as expected and were plenty spacious. The free breakfast was agreeable. I had a great time overall.
