A Plus Hostel - Centrum in Prague

Fairly clean overall (though I wish they'd clean/repaint the walls a bit in the single room I booked – it wasn't a shared dorm). For those who need a lift, be aware that it only goes from reception (1st floor) up to the 4th floor. You'll need to use stairs for the ground floor and the top (5th) floor. On the positive side, a big thank you for the adjustable individual heater in the single room (January 2026, -10°C in Prague, and old stone buildings really need it!).

The staff were very friendly, and luggage storage is free on check-in and check-out days. On other days, it costs 200 CZK / 8 Euros.

Overall, a very positive impression.

I booked a single private room that was quiet and nice. My only complaint is that it was outside the more secure part of the hostel because it was on the 5th floor and was the only room up there, so it was just situated at the top of the stairs. This meant I had to go downstairs for the bathroom and showers and down a couple flights of stairs for the kitchen area, not a big deal unless you needed to use the restroom in the middle of the night. The room itself was comfortable. The bed and pillow were a little lumpy and soft but I still slept well. There’s no aircon but the fan worked well and it was cold while I was there (low 20°sC). The kitchen had a microwave and induction stove but no fridge, so keep that in mind if you want to cook or keep food. Finding the hostel was easy because I looked it up online but it is off the Main Street and hidden in a little indoor shopping area. The location itself was brilliant, just minutes from old and new town and everything was well within walking distance. The main train station is also only about 800m.

Location was very central

Recommended Location for City Exploration

If you are a tight-budget traveller, this place is one of the top place you can take a look at, since it is in the middle of the new town. The place is similar to a college dorm with public bathrooms and toilet(s) on every floor. Since it’s like a dorm with a really thin wall, I can say young people would tend to stay in a big group and there arent soundproof. You can hear everyone talking from the hall and the sound of the old style elevator. If you are a light sleeper, you should consider another place because you will be exhausted to keep telling others put their volume down every time.

Location is great, but a big confusing to get to. The large sign outside of the building doesn’t actually say the hostel name (A plus). It says something else. The woman that checked me in and out was friendly and welcoming.

I stayed in a “private” room but the toilets and showers were still shared, which was one of the purposes of me getting a private room…. This wasn’t made clear before booking.

The floors were not cleaned, and my room was not cleaned in the second day (I stayed two nights). The toilets and showers were ok, but should be cleaned. When I was there, they weren’t “dirty”, but didn’t look like they’d been cleaned in quite a while.

The common area was just a bunch of tables and chairs and there wasn’t much socializing going on. When I walked in, there’s was one guy who was taking a nap. That was it. There is a cool old-school elevator that works from the first floor, which is fun.

Not sure why my room was as expensive as it was considering I could have stayed in an actual hotel for relatively the same price. Overall this wasn’t a bad place to stay, but definitely not worth the price.
