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 :)

Exactly what we needed after a long trip. Warm, comfortable bed and a nice hot shower. The girl on the desk was excellent as well. Thanks

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.

Was incredibly happy with my stay here! It has everything that you need, for a fairly good price in a central location! The only slight problem I encountered was a lack of power-points in the rooms, 3 is not enough for 8 people. But aside from that, everything was great.

This is the ONLY place you should stay in Prague if you are visiting the city center and the areas immediately around it! It is incredibly well-valued for what you are paying. The staff is extremely helpful and the rooms are very nice. The location is unbeatable, being quite literally a thirty second walk from the city center and a maximum of a twenty minute walk to anywhere else in central Prague you would like to visit.

Fantastic location! Great place for the price. Warning you'll have to pay in cash as there are no eftpos facilities available. Staff were pretty helpful and the free cereal for breakky and free sandwich for lunch was great!

Prague Square Hostel is like a dorm in Hogwarts. It's magical, rad, and I met tons of cool people while I staid here. It's in a great location and that is an understatement. I would most definitley stay here again for a Prague trip round 2!

nice hostel! bathroom and showers always clean. lots of brazilians. internet really sucked, the worst i ever got. free breakfast and if you dont make in time you can grab a sandwich later. great location as well. you should definitely stay on this side of the city. in prague, i recommend doing the free walking tour from neweurope (red umbrella), its the best one i ever did.

Not enough space or resources for so many people. Amazing location but this does not trump the fact that breakfast is terrible, you eat it standing because there's nowhere to sit. Also the common area has 2 couches and that is all. Not an easy place to meet other travelers. Showers were bad but clean. Wouldn't stay here again.
