Travel & Joy Backpackers

Welcome to our family-run hostel, located in a beautiful historic building on Spálená Street, Prague 1. The metro and tram are just 50 metres from our entrance, and most major sights can easily be reached on foot – Wenceslas Square is only 600 metres away, while the Old Town Square and Charles Bridge are a pleasant short walk through the historic centre.

Our friendly multilingual reception team will gladly advise you on what to see and experience in Prague, give you a free city map, and share tips for places you won’t often find in guidebooks. We also have a Facebook group dedicated to tips about Prague and meeting friends.

What we offer:

Spacious rooms with comfortable beds or bunks, a reading light, and a power socket at each bed

Personal lockers for every guest free of charge

Fully equipped kitchens in every apartment – most private rooms share a kitchen with only 1–2 other rooms, and our dormitories have their own kitchen within the apartment

Free luggage storage before check-in and after check-out

Free printing of flight and train tickets

Traditional Czech restaurant in the building – over 100 years of history, hearty cuisine, and great beer

Bar with jukebox, table football, and a friendly atmosphere

Organised activities: free walking tour, themed city tours, outdoor escape game, pub crawls, river cruises on the Vltava

Perfect location with plenty around:
Near the hostel you’ll find shops, Karlovo Náměstí park, and the Máj entertainment centre – full of games, mini golf, darts, arcade machines, and a rooftop bar with beautiful views over Prague, food court and many of shops. Just a short walk away are also famous works by artist David Černý – including the iconic rotating Franz Kafka head, Butterflies and other original installations that give the city its unique character.

Cleanliness is a given for us – cleaning is carried out throughout the day.
