Probably the most unique part of the place is a full calendar of weekly activities costing between free and just 2-3 euro. Free walking tours, beer tours, pub crawls, free communal dinners, etc. - they really have thought of a lot, and the staff who guide it are really quite good. The accommodation is basic, as you'd expect and as is the point of hostel life (other than the community element, of course. It's a big place and feels more like a hotel (6 floors, quite broad as well). That said, each morning we awoke to hallway noise because the walls aren't so thick. Invariably when we checked, it was the cleaning staff chatting away on cell phones right in the main hallway - not other guests. This was the most annoying part of our stay and the reason for 4 stars instead of 5. Communal areas are well apportioned and probably the best effort at forcing people to chat with each other during their stay. Food storage is easy to manage and there's plenty of it. Left luggage is easy as well, and right in front of reception for easy monitoring. Coffee is cheap, and breakfast it's included for just 4 euros for everything, all you can eat. It's very central, and as a result not the cheapest hostel you'll find - a twin room for 2, en suite, ran us 75 euro per night. But again, if you're hotel people looking for a good hostel experience, this would certainly be it.

Rode into Prague Central station the other day and it was a quick and easy experience. It was…read moremerely an escalator away from the platform to the train station. Signage was slightly tricky to get onto the tram. There were automated ticket counters at the train station although it wasn't too clear which direction each stairwell was to get down to the local tram. There were a bunch of shops, restaurants, and coffee shops right beneath the platform and it was quite busy.

This is the main train station in Prague, located conveniently in the eastern section of the city…read morecenter, walkable to many well-known local sites, including the Opera House directly to the south a block away, the Natural History Museum two blocks away, and the famous Zegar astronomiczny Praga (Prague astronomy clock tower) 15 minutes away by foot, in the main old town square. The station itself is a combination of old and new, originally built in the 1860s in a Renaissance Revival style, named the Emperor Franz Joseph Station the royalty by whose decree the station was built. Its current facade on the upper level east side was built between 1901 and 1909, in an Art Nouveau style. It's the largest station in addition to the largest Art Nouveau landmark in the Czech Republic. The dome is a work of art and I'm a little sad I missed it, though the pictures look elegantly restrained in its details. Major work on the station occurred in 1928 when the station and train lines began conversion to electricity. Post WWI additional tracks were added, then post WWII--after competitions to select designs for a new station, underground railway and check-in halls--a new terminal building was built between 1972-79 including an underground metro station, the first of its kind in Prague. Additional construction happened to replace tracks 1983-94, and continued modernization and maintenance 2006-2017. Given the two different structures and about two dozen above ground and additional underground tracks, this station is pretty large and has multiple levels. Recommend taking that into account when arriving to catch your next form of transportation. Both entrances have loops in front of the entrances for vehicles to circle and pick up passengers. The Art Nouveau building is located at the upper level, and has a large adjacent car park in front of it (or really on the roof of the lower level), that doubles as a bus stop* for multiple local and regional lines, and pickups for ride shares and bus tours. Most major railway routes within the Czech Republic and connecting to adjacent countries stop here, and you can also transfer to metro line C Hlavní nádraží station (separate ticket needed--easy to purchase at machines in the metro station). There are plenty of shops, restaurants and amenities inside, though since the immediate surrounding area is a park, you'll need to walk a few blocks away to reach other stores, hotels, and restaurants, though all in all still very convenient. Overall I found the station clean, with clear signage in Czech and English, pretty easy to navigate. I read some reddit threads on the potential sketchiness of the park in the nighttime around the station; did see some homeless folks though also saw people that looked like they were sitting on benches and hanging out. Of course best to be wary of your surroundings in an unfamiliar city, though coming from NYC it was pretty mild and I didn't feel unsafe. *this is not the main bus station though, that's about 15 minutes walking north of the train station.

You have to lug your bag up steps in various parts. Our floor even has a staircase after the elevator ride. The staff was very friendly and helpful which honestly was the best part.

Our dinner was a buffet style dinner with several different choices to choose from. Once you arrive to the boat you get an arrival shot of their local liquor. It taste a lot like licorice, cinnamon, and a lot of other spices. You get to choose your table but be advised if you have a small party you could end up with a community table. Since we did our cruise in the winter it was a smaller crowd. We LOVED that aspect. You can go to the top deck to enjoy the views at any time. It was a cold night for our cruise but we throughly enjoyed every minute of cruise. The restrooms were very clean and there was always toilet paper and paper towels for all 3 hours. I highly recommend this if you do not believe you will be able to view ALL of what Prague has to offer. This cruise takes you further than you would think along the river.
