Sophie’s Hostel, Prague

This hostel is located in Prague 2 - within 10 minute walk from the the busiest, touristy part of Prague, yet in a somewhat less noisy location. The dorms have decent bunk beds that are, luckily, not as crammed into a few square meters of space as in so many other hostels in Prague, allowing for the fresher air. The bathrooms/ shower rooms are newly renovated, clean and without the smell of mould, unlike in many other similar hostels. There is also a spacious lounge/bar with food and drinks on offer throughout the day. Convenient to sit down and do work on your laptop. The breakfast was good value for money - ham, cheese, greens, cereals and coffee - all a person needs in the morning before heading out to explore the city. Overall Sophie's Hostel offers fairly good value for money.

Got several massive scrapes on my legs due to some metal railings sticking out from under the seats in the lounge area - that hazard has to be fixed.

It was great, if you are going with your friends, test A private room

I stayed in a huge room for 5, with kitchen and private bathroom. It was super comfy, we weren't packed at all. I was happily surprised with my choice. I highly recommend!!

Looks pretty exclusive...quite charming interior.

Nothing.

Stuff very kind

This is 'not only hostel' - they offer 'like 3-star' rooms and even apartments. With a very attractive prices. Environment is minimalistic but I liked it. Significant part of staff speak Russian and Ukrainian but people around are pretty international. Hotel administration is very flexible. Had a 2 bookings connected because of the changing group size. They managed to arrange 'connected' experience practically upgrading booking for free. And I have reports of similar actions from other friends. Breakfasts are pretty decent. For 160 CZK they offer buffet (not bad) but for a bit more (220 CZK) you can receive it with hot meal selected from the short list. For 2 nights I really liked this approach. Add to this that they have pretty fair bar prices and offer good quality tea. Location is nice. Traditional tourists sites and train station are in walking distance but giving the public transportation system transparency I bought 72h universal ticket for 330 CZK - tram and metro stations are below 5 mins walking. Overall impression from me as a 2-3 persons hotel room booker - hidden gem, especially if you prefer practicality and minimalism. Cannot say anything about dormatory experience here.

Having their price range and many positive traces not so much to complain. Lighting approach in the room was a bit 'too minimalistic' - there was no any local lamps. Not a big deal but if you need local light - take some portable solution with you - sockets were in place (near the bed). Dealing with the local elevator could be a bit tricky - it is a very small and slow one, may not open the doors from the first button press. Not a big deal - gave us some fun - just a point to be aware.

The staff was really kind and useful. The bathrooms were clean as well as the rooms. I found the location perfect: 20 minutes on foot from the train station and quite near the center of the city, also I felt safe walking to hostel by myself at night. very good point: free luggage store before and after your staying :)

the floor looks like the same they have at the famous library of the Strahov Monastery: it's beautiful but it creaks so much :(

Location, cleanliness in the room, staff

Other tenants left common areas messy, especially in the morning when people check out in general. Super soft and fluffy pillow that’s not comfortable for sleeping. Beds don’t have curtains. I forgot my earplugs at home and I was suffering at nights during my stay, a few people in the room snored so bad.

The rooms were clean and the beds were very comfortable with big pillows that we loved. There was a nice breakfast option and we had a great stay overall. The hostel is in a nice location and I would definitely recommend.

Here is in the safe and good location. Staff was a funny and helpfull. Specaally Crick amd Haydar. When ı arrived first day , they were making free pancakes. The kitchen and bathroom in room sides. Thats a advantage.

Our room was very large and very nice. The bathroom facilities were excellent and the beds were very comfortable. The staff were helpful and the bar area was a very nice place to spend the early evening.

All good, clean and comfy. Big rooms

NA

The Staffs are always friendly, 24hr service is crazy with nice coffee. I will definitely back here again :)

I was booking the bunk beds 2 or 3 month ago but I didn't get it when I was there. and I wish can have more cooking place in future. someone ate my food from the fridge :( But the friendly service cover every problems, so still good to go back

We have booked at last minute due to train arrival at 6am so we just needed to stay warm and sleep a little bit after travelling during the night and our check in to another hotel was only at 2pm. The staff guy who checked us in was so compassionate and offered us to check out at 12pm instead 11am which was lovely so we could sleep and have a shower with no rush. Very spacious room!

The heater was not getting high enough to warm the whole room.

Very welcoming. Clean, tidy and a good setup.

Washrooms were nice and clean.

Pillows could have been better.

Everything was super clean and modern. The quality of the bedsheets even in 8 bed dorm was beyond my expectations. The staff was also good! They resolved the issue with the locker right on time.

Don't leave your staff at the locker without padlock, sometimes they have misunderstandings with the beds so the housekeepers can put your staff to the lost and found.

Friendly staff. Room was clean, quiet and excellent.

Reception/bar area was a really nice warm and welcoming area to meet other solo travellers or group travellers and to spend time having some drinks to get to know each other.

One of my main things I didn’t like about the property was in my dorm the floorboards would creek and make the beds shake every time someone would walk across the room. This means every time someone would go to go to use the toilet it would shake my bunkbed and wake me up every time. The beds were comfortable but ultimately I wasn’t able to have a good night sleep for any other days that I stayed there.

There was breakfast available to purchase.

I turned up at 10pm and was informed that there was an age limit in the share dorm rooms. I had to take a single room which was a lot more expensive than the dorm room. I was disappointed there was no help from the staff to maybe suggest other appropriate accommodation.

Private rooms are better than most apartments you would find on airbnb. Clean, comfortable and spacious.

Nothing in particular.

there was a smell of sewage from the toilets

The staff were really friendly and the rooms were very clean - everything went smoothly! We even had a few nice drinks at the bar while waiting for check in. Big thanks to the redhead receptionist, she gave us some amazing recommendations, and was very nice and helpful.

Clean / cheap / comfortable beds

Slightly hot even in winter

The room was clean, bright, and warm. The location was excellent. The staff were nice and friendly.

There was a small issue with opening the door. The card didn’t work well for our room.

I loved staying here, it was very clean, and the staff are very friendly, polite and attentive. Also it’s booked by classy, well mannered people. I booked the single bedroom with just girls.

I like the environment, the bed and the bar.

The reception people are all very nice and patient, and speak English very well

Nothing

Very clear and very friendly staff

Everything went well. Exceeded the expectations. The room was very big and very clean. Bed was comfortable and the hotel was in a good location. The staff was very friendly and we were invited for a free pancake night.

Nothing.. Everything was perfect.

All from the time I entered and a very helpful nice guy in reception called Haydar explained all about the room, city etc...very helpful conversation. The suit is quite large renovated and clean, specially the bathroom.

Every day was special because there were many activities there and also is very comfortable place for spending time when you travel.Personal always help us and were kind .Thank you,we will come back one day.

Very nice hostel, comfortable beds and spacious room.

It would be great to have some basic towels for the floor and hands in the bathroom and some soap.

I really enjoyed my stay. The staff was very friendly and the facilities were very clean. For a 160 Czech Koruna, you can enjoy the all you can eat buffet that includes rolls, yogurt, salad, and spreads like cheese and cured meat. For slightly more you can also get hot food with the buffet. The hostel felt extremely safe and secure and I liked that we also had access to a nice kitchen. All around wonderful!

Not centrally located but not too far from the city. It's about a 20 min walk to the old town and further for other tourist attractions. Would still prefer to stay here than closer in the city since this part of town is not as crowded and Sophie's Hostel is a great hostel. Also, bring a towel if you can or you have to rent one! Not expensive to rent though.

Beds were really comfortable. Sometimes a little bit noisy when i turned left to right, right to left but it was okay. I’m gonna remember these pillows. They were soooo comfortable, I want to know which brand they were.

Elevator was broken and my room was on the 4th floor :(

Everything OK for me.

Everything OK for me.

The single beds and no bunk beds. The attached kitchen and bathroom for every dorm was something that I had never seen In any of the hostels and I loved the place. Good privacy.

Nothing

Great location, not far from the city center and train station. The room I stayed in was well-organized, clean, and had its own kitchen and bathroom. The team at the reception was very friendly and always ready to help.

All good

No thing

Sophie’s hostel was a fabulous place to stay. Amazing value, great location and staff were super friendly and helpful. Breakfast was brilliant and really good value. Used the wellness spa at the sister hotel opposite which was amazing!

cool place, easy to chill in cafe. breakfast has tons.

waiting for shower, although just because everyone is waking up at same time.

The buffet breakfast is tasty and is a good deal for money. The staff is very nice too! We had a problem with our room and a staff member (I am sorry I didn’t ask her name, but we are very thankful!) was very helpful and was able to find a replacement room for us quickly.

Personel was helpful. The best breakfast buffet in my hostel experience.

Everything was great! Good location, clean confiable beds, lovely guest vibe, nice helpful staff. I stayed in a 5-bed female dorm and everyone got to chose their own bed, first come first served basis. The room included a small kitchen and dining table, it was like our own little apartment. 10/10!

All good!

The stuff was very friedly and the bathroom was clean and fresh… nice place to stay

The wooden floor in the room was really squeaky and I'm sure I woken up everyone when I checked in at 3am. Other than that it was a nice stay.

Friendly, nice location, clean.

Great Breakfast Omlette.

I landed at 2 am and reached the hostel around 3. And yet I was well accomodated. I'm glad that they have 24/7 reception.

Rooms were a little congested.

Good price, close to centre, clean bedsheets, good breakfast. Free pancakes Friday!

Coffee from coffee machine is garbage, the door to the room was a bit loose so closes a bit too loudly.
