The bar and outdoor lounge was great, with tons of seating for group hangs. The pool table was old, the sticks were worn down, but still much appreciated - something fun to do on a chill night in! The hostel bar was stocked with a full liquor list, and there was even live music one night. The included breakfast was a huge buffet of tasty options, including a variety of hot teas. The inside reception lounge was nice, and hostel staff was friendly. We had a nice big room (quad), though the bathroom was teeny as expected!

The disadvantage of staying here was the locations. It isn't near the city center, but as long as you wake up early enough to start your day, it'll be fine. There was also a pool and sauna that we didn't get the chance to take advantage of. I would suggest exchanging money elsewhere because the rate isn't that great (shop around).

Hostels can be tough to rate because everyone has different needs and wants. When my sister and I…read morebackpacked through Prague we were excited to check out the city and really delve into the local scene. We found Sir Toby's through some online research and were relieved to read such positive reviews. There's WIFI access, the rooms are clean, the hostel itself is cute and the staff is nice, and we loved the "club" below the hostel that operated as the breakfast room in the AM and a bar/hang out spot for guests in the evenings and at night. More affordable than most other hostels, the downside we found with Sir Toby's was just the location. Not too close to the center of the city, you're stuck needing to cab or take the train places to see the center of the city and the many tourist attractions. It wasn't an expensive or long ride, (make sure to get a week-long pass if you want to take the train for more than just a ride or two. It's the best way to get around!) but as young adults, we were really looking for more noise and activity. Because of the distance from downtown you don't get the ins/outs and hustle and bustle of people coming and going. And because of that, the atmosphere was less social and more quiet. Which is certainly good if you are looking for that! If you want to be somewhere that's walkable to more than some small shops, parks and grocery stores, this may not be the right spot for you. But it's cheap, it's clean and sometimes that's all you need!

My concern is safety, I told the hostel that me and my friends were followed and stalked by a man who was just hanging around the hostel for hours. When we left to go out for a drink, he followed us in the tram. He was consistently staring at us then started taking pictures of us. We got off early and he then got off on the next stop and hid in a bush, to where he ended up showing up behind us again. We ended up hiding in the subway, he found us so we ran to more people, we're a group of 5 girls in our late teens and 20s, so we were terrified. This isn't really the hostels fault, what is is how they handled it. I told them early in the morning and they told me to come back later when a manager was present. I did a few hours later and they made me wait for 30 minutes, taking people who arrived in the line after me, before me. When I finally talked to someone they seemed annoyed, and gave me the impression that they believed I misread the situation perhaps. I took a picture of the man and they gave me their email to send it to them, and said to let them know if he comes back. I understand they can't do anything to find him, but maybe assurance that he can't come back, or at least an attitude that they understand how dangerous this could be would have made me feel more secure. I feel brushed off, I'm on vacation and I spent two hours running and hiding from someone, and then an hour trying to tell the staff about it only to be brushed off. Perhaps they take it more seriously than I realize, but I didn't get an impression that they were concerned at all. I'm very frustrated with me experience and don't feel secure here.

Inexpensive, in a fairly safe area... That being said, this is not a typical hotel by US standards…read more There is no air conditioning and it is in a fairly noisy area on a tram route. The hotel is clean, the desk clerks are there 24x7 and are very nice. There are a couple convenience stores nearby as well as crossblub.cz which I highly recommend for you younger folks. You will need transport to old town, but is not far- $10 by Uber and public transit in Prague is wonderful (if you can understand the schedules- which I could not) Rates were approx $35-$65 which is an excellent deal by Prague standards, just be aware you will sacrifice some amenities. It is in Holesovice- an old neighborhood with a lot of young folks, never really sleeps. If you blew your paycheck on the plane ticket, "czech it out". I would likely stay at the Hilton next time, but this place was still a crazy bargain and allowed me to spend my money on a lot of other things.

What is the point in having a window if it doesn't open. Left our room hot and awful to be in. Asked for a fan or a move to a lower floor and they refused. Was looking forward to getting laundry done, 2 of the 3 machines were out of order, including the only dryer. Elevators are slow and it took forever to get one up to the 13th floor. We had to take the 26 flights of stairs down several times. In a very secluded area, Strizkov metro station is like a 15 min walk. If I ever come back to Prague, I will not be staying here.
