Sophie’s Hostel, Prague

Very spacious, love that it had a kitchen. .

It was rather noisy.

The location is nice and near to metro or tram point. The condition of the bathroom is good and well maintained.

1. You won't get lockers like in other hostels. You get trunk to store your luggage for which physical lock is needed (which you can rent it out from desk). 2. Keeping and taking out things from the trunk might become noisy in late nights or early mornings. 3. The room area is a little less compared to other hostels, which may lead to ventilation problems and odour issues in multi bed dormitories. 4. Some of the rooms unlock key card do not work intermittently.

I stayed in the female dorm, and it's really comfortable, especially having a kitchen and an ensuite bathroom to be shared between 5 people.

My room was facing a main street and it was quite noisy all night, with all the street lights coming into the room. There's only 1 fan for the whole room, which is not sufficient for all the beds. Thankfully the weather was pleasant, but otherwise, it would have been quite unpleasant. The kind of roommates you get in a hostel is always a hit or miss... I had young, noisy ones, leaving lights on at night, slamming doors... But that's not the hostels fault.

Very clean, comfortable, spacious and very convenient location

The elevator is small and slow

Very friendly and lovely staff. Beds were great. Showers and toilets are kept clean. Good location, you can take the tram downtown if you don’t feel like walking. Hostel was, during my stay, very lively. I would be ready to pay more for a night in this hostel than they already change you for. Great hostel.

- super friendly, nice staff - nice common area

- bathrooms were not that clean - The curtains of the beds were missing in our dorm

Very comfy beds

Very open floor plan

The hostel has the most amazing staff! They helped me with every issue I had. I want to say the receptionists managers were awesome. Also, the hostel had fun evening like games night every week, which was a nice way to meet new people.

The place could use more AC

Very clean, quiet, bed was comfortable, staff was nice, good location

There was no towel included, you rent it for 130 korunas, 100 is returned, and 30 is for cleaning

The location is great. The breakfast buffet is also good.

More fans needed in the dorms during summer.

The staff are very nice and friendly. Elena is super beautiful, helpful and warm, she even cooked free pancake for us. The room is surprisingly big and clean, there is even a kitchen for the room, bath room is also clean and nice. Great location, will stay there if revisit.

Reception was very helpful and attentive. They had activities in the hostel.

The guest kitchen was rather compact.

Guests and Staff were amazing. Really cute reception and aesthetic hostel in general. Clean restrooms and spacious bathrooms.

The only thing that was not up to my standards was that the room was so hot during the night that it was hard to fall asleep. Keep in mind for lower bunk beds, there are fans, but no AC.

Appectable location Restroom was quite clean Friendly staff

No AC, only a fan in the room. no curtain Broken lamp

There is no curtains in some rooms for beds. It is extremely uncomfortable and everyone just used their duvets to make their space more private.

Very lovely hostel to stay with. I liked the en-suite I stayed with kitchen and bathroom for 6 girls.

I adore this place! It is perfect, so perfect that I would go back, not to see Prague, but to stay here. Everything was great, location, connection of public transport.....excellent breakfast.... amazing place. I would compliment Zahir, the receptions, so nice and helpful and polite!!! The cleaning ladies as well, the kitchen staff and breakfast staff!!! Everything is perfect!

Super friendly staff. Good breakfast. Right by the tram line. The shower was very big which was great and the dorm was also pretty large.

The staff is really helpful . They provide every detail about the city info like walking tours . Things to do.

Location, room is amazing and always clean, staff is very nice and friendly.

Everything is perfect

Nothing bad everything was great, clean and the location was perfect

I loved how the all woman dorm room was set up. To have the kitchen and bathroom separated from the beds (like an apartment) made it super convenient to avoid making noise while others were sleeping! It was so spacious too. Staff is so kind and helpful. The place overall, is very charming.

Everything was great. I don’t have complaints. My only suggestion would be to add a little carpet in front of the shower to avoid spreading too much water around the bathroom floor.

The place is cleaned top to bottom every day. Staff is really friendly and professional. 24/7 reception is always a plus. Beds were comfy, and the sheets were clean. 2 or 3 5-bed rooms shared one bathroom, but I literally never had trouble going to shower or whatever. The timed light in the bathroom was a bit odd, but there's a small light next to the mirror so that's okay. Location is excellent, literally anything you might need is a short walk away, as is the Old Town, and other attractions. This was my first solo stay in a hostel, so I had some concerns regarding sleeping with strangers, but everything was tip top. All in all I'm very satisfied with everything, if I'm ever back to Prague I'm coming back here.

The staff were all very helpful at all times, they helped you throughout your stay if need help from them.

All perfect

It's hard to leave this hostel. It has everything you need. A social bar, great breakfast, friendly staff, lift, big apartment-type dorms. I can't fault anything!

Great room (apartment). We were only there as a couple but would've fit 5 people. Bathroom was excellent, a really great shower and small kitchenette which we didn't use but it was nice to have a fridge.

Everything was great!

The location is amazing, city centered, was accessble to any places.

The hostel has a very good location, whether you want to walk to the historic center or use local transportation. In addition, the apartment is comfortable and cozy, better than expected.

One of the walls separating the bathroom from the kitchen is made of glass. We don't like it, was a little intimidating; maybe deshould have a curtain or the glass blocks should be darker.

Big rooms, comfortable beds, a kitchen in the room.

Motion sensor in shower that turns off too quickly

Central location. staff very friendly and helpful. clean toilets and rooms.

there was a junkie in our room. he was drunk every night coming to room stinking alcohol and then snoring so loud, you can't ignore or sleep. not hostel fault but we 7 others suffered because of one person. towels you can rent here and get refund which is good. there is no wash gel in shower room that was disappointing

Buffet breakfast, fast WiFi and comfortable rooms

climate control

The property is exactly as advertised on their website, and on booking.com.

The hostel is really nice. The room and the bathrooms are clean. It’s around 15-20min to the center by walk . Easy to take the tram or walk form there.

Single bed without curtain in the room of 5.

It was a nice hostel, lovely staff, and the room was fine.

The bed steps to the top bunk were odd and a bit hard to get up, a bit.

Because there are no personal curtains, it’s easy to disturb each other, even just by turning the lights on and off.

Very hood hostel, the people were nice, everything was clean

The rooms are quite small

Everything was very clean.

Some people at the reception/bar provided excellent service but others did not, with those, it just feels like you are asking for the drinks for free. If you like to cook, the shared kitchen is nice but the under-cabinet lights do not work and gets a bit dark and therefore difficult to prepare meals. Also, there are no dishclothes and there is limited dish soap.

Sophie's hostel turned out to be a great choice for me. The bed was comfortable and all the facilities were clean. The staff was always helpful and the drinks were great. The atmosphere was really nice and fun and overall it was a great stay. I'd love to come back and also recommend it to other people.

One thing I wanted to suggest was for a little more diverse food menu with perhaps a few more options, this is not something I didn't like per say but would be a good thing to consider.

It’s very central and the bed and linen were comfortable and clean.

There was little control over noise outside with people talking deep into the night, combined with 8 people in a dorm coming at different times. I slept with a mask and ear buds to block it out but it was still not enough. The drawers aren’t the best solution for storage - there seems to be ample space in the room for hanging storage or cupboards as they also make noises with people opening and closing them, locking and unlocking at all times of night.

Ambience

Nothing

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.

Good linens and mattresses

Very squeaky floors, door latches were loud
