Sir Toby's Hostel

I’ve been to many hostels in Europe and have never felt as unsafe as I did here. They had a code to enter the main room, but that does not make a difference when the staff lets people into private rooms anyway. Do not trust your luggage in the room even if you rented the entire room! When we checked in, we carried our luggage up the stairs only to find a room full of other people’s luggage (we rented a private room). When I told the receptionist, he responded “there aren’t people in that room”. So it’s dirty and people left their stuff? He eventually reassigned us to a different room and the door to the bathroom would not close due to a broken lock (see photo) and there was no shower curtain or water retainer so the water from the shower just flooded the entire bathroom (see photo). Additionally, none of the rooms our group rented came with towels, even though this was arranged prior. One set of people in our group that rented a different room ended up getting locked out in the afternoon one day. None of their keys would work and the receptionist’s master key also did not work. Their solution? Wait until 9am the following morning for their technician to come and fix the door. But they had no available rooms to allow the girls to sleep in and all of their luggage was locked behind that door. The bathroom door being broken makes a lot more sense after that. The rooms do not look like the photos advertised by the hostel. You’ll feel like you’re living in an old orphanage with Annie. The cellar living quarters is cute though. Breakfast was not restocked well. Our group was large so we divided into two smaller groups and by the second group, there was no hot food left.

I was surprised by this hostel. i chose it over higher rated ones because it was $10 cheaper per night Some people have rated this low for being unsocial... True they don't have a lot of events going on, but they do have people talking. the way the common area is situated, people end up talking and hanging out, and that's my idea of the best kind of social hostel! Yes the hostel is far from the main area of Prague, but 100% worth the money you save to travel an extra 10 minutes to get downtown
