Czech Republic
This is a great hostel, and the location is superb. Even if it's in the middle of Prague, we didn't hear a single car or other disturbing noises. It's a perfect spot if you want a (cheap) place to stay, it's open 24 hours and you get your own key to the front door - which is always locked.
We stayed there in February (a very cold month) but in our room the central heating was on all the time, and the water is warm and good.
There was even a colour TV with many channels (not that we had time to watch). When we returned in the evenings, the bed was made and the garbage was emptied.
Highly recommended.

This hostel was great! Would recommend it to any traveller who is looking for a fun time in Prague. We stayed in a 6-bed dorm, everything was clean and there was one cupboard for each person to lock their stuff up in. Showers were clean (although in peak times not exactly hot, but still bearable), toilets also clean and common room area spotless (if a bit smoky at times).
Best of all, the staff were really relaxed - no packing up the breakfast at 5 past 10, it just kind of sat there until everyone had had their fill. There's also safety deposit boxes at reception and a cage to put your luggage in after you've checked out. Five minute walk to old town square, supermarket round the corner (you can also cook at the hostel) and clubs, bars etc all within easy walking distance.

The Czech Inn is Prague's newest hostel and it is fantastic. Great location (walk or tram to centre) with some very cheap eateries nearby. The staff are superb; welcoming , friendly and very accommodating.
If you think a hostel means grubby beds, grubbier people and grubby amenities then think again. Showerheads the size of dinner plates, crisp white bedlinen, polished wooden floors, an 'all you can eat' buffet breakfast, decent coffee, brilliant bar area, free internet and expert advice all contribute to what makes this place rock. They will also arrange transfers and walks for you.

This is a great budget hostel (with lots of character!) within walking distance of the city centre. There is a good choice of rooms, from twin to dorms with eight beds.

Trough this office near Old Town Square one can find inexpensive accomodation in the city centre, which is difficult to get hold of otherwise. Staff speak English, Italian and German and one can get a private apartment from local people renting out for about 20 GBP per person per night, payment is cash only and GBP notes are accepted. The standard is comparable to a three star hotel. I strongly recommmend this opportunity, as it is value for money and the staff are always very nice and helpful.
