Liked: The free tea saved my life! The staff was so kind to offer me a 4-bed room so that I can feel more comfortable although I booked and payed for an 8-bed dorm.

Disliked: It was hard to find it in the dark. It is indeed close to the train station but once you know where to go.

Liked: Very very friendly staff (consisting of one guy). He even gave us a better room free of charge when one became available. Not far from city centre. Very fast free internet. Simple place but nice.

Disliked: Kind of oldfashioned and low standard (not a luxury hotel). No lock on shared toilet or shower doors. Cant pay with creditcard.

Liked: This is a no frills cheap hostel. Bunk beds are large and comfortable. Rooms are clean. The kitchen is relatively small but has all the amenities you need. This is not a place to meet people or party, but hey, if you want that, go to Prague. If you want a cheap, clean, self cater kitchen hostel (with free wifi) to explore Plzn for a few days this is decent value for money. About a 5-8 minute walk to the centre of town.

Disliked: No complaints.

Liked: To call the staff inattentive would be generous. Nobody was there when I arrived, and for almost a half hour after I called the number written by the door. Good luck finding the place without directions or a phone number.

Liked: We were there on a Friday and we were the only ones staying at this hostel during this time of year. It was a little hard to find, I would recommend mapping it before you get on the train and bring a compass. We didn't have hot water upstairs, but all the other amenities were great. The staff was very friendly and helpful, pointing out some good places to grab food and beer. I highly recommend the Pilsner Urquell brewery tour.

Disliked: Customer left no negative feedback.

01 October 2009 Jai would recommend this property

Liked: Super close to the train station (if you take the right way!). The place feels a little suspect at first look but the room's are nice and the bathrooms are very clean. There's not really any common area so it's not a "fun" hostel by any means. Also, there's no one at the front desk most of the time so be sure to confirm the time that you'll be arriving.

Disliked: Jai left no negative feedback.

Liked: It wasnt a bad place it is just poorly run, if there were a few more people around when i was there maybe it would have been more fun, but there was only 2 in the whole hostel. The reviews listed are from mainly 2008 so maybe back then the hostel was being run better then.

Liked: Nice hostel in a fantastic little town - I definitely recommend spending a few relaxing days here. Free beer night was a good idea and a great way to met other travellers. Comfortable dorm rooms with lockers and sheets. TV room could be a little bigger. Definitely need to get a lock for the upstairs toilet! 1 of the 2 computers didn't work during our stay.

Disliked: Customer left no negative feedback.
