Probably the most unique part of the place is a full calendar of weekly activities costing between free and just 2-3 euro. Free walking tours, beer tours, pub crawls, free communal dinners, etc. - they really have thought of a lot, and the staff who guide it are really quite good. The accommodation is basic, as you'd expect and as is the point of hostel life (other than the community element, of course. It's a big place and feels more like a hotel (6 floors, quite broad as well). That said, each morning we awoke to hallway noise because the walls aren't so thick. Invariably when we checked, it was the cleaning staff chatting away on cell phones right in the main hallway - not other guests. This was the most annoying part of our stay and the reason for 4 stars instead of 5. Communal areas are well apportioned and probably the best effort at forcing people to chat with each other during their stay. Food storage is easy to manage and there's plenty of it. Left luggage is easy as well, and right in front of reception for easy monitoring. Coffee is cheap, and breakfast it's included for just 4 euros for everything, all you can eat. It's very central, and as a result not the cheapest hostel you'll find - a twin room for 2, en suite, ran us 75 euro per night. But again, if you're hotel people looking for a good hostel experience, this would certainly be it.

Such a nice hostel! There is no AC, but they give you plenty of fans, which really helps. The front…read moredesk ladies were so sweet and friendly. They gave me a towel for free! They had recommendations and really wanted us to be at home.

Money well spend, and I'm so glad we went on the tour…read more 1. The bus was on time and our tour guy was very dedicated. He explained the histories and the background stories of all the sites that we went to. & did a fantastic job. 2. The tour covered all the sites that they promised on the list. And was some small bonus when we passed by certain areas. 3. Price of the tour is very reasonable. And the bus was very comfortable. 4. The only downside I'd like to point out and this applies to any tours that you take not just this one. Since the tour company try to make their promise so everywhere we went not only you need to expect a lot of walking but also you do need to be on time which means the time to spend at each location is limited. 5. We didn't have too much time to grab something to eat in between sites. And we got back pretty late around 8 PM. so the hunger definitely hit by that time. If I would do this again, I will definitely pack my own food and water. We enjoyed our Overall experience with this tour company and do recommend by @winedinenvacay

The bus trip to Karlovy Vary (from Prague) was very pleasant. We were served lunch, and the food…read morewas good. But we waited forever for the lunch to arrive. We saw other people being waited on and leave before we got our lunch. We were concerned that we would not have enough time to see the Grandhotel Pupp (2.5 hours), so our bus group decided to go ahead and leave. Of course, that is when the dessert (ice cream was being served. The Grandhotel Pupp and the surrounding area were spectacular. When we arrived back in Prague, the host announced that we should get off the bus at a location close to the majority of the passengers. It was not anywhere near where we were picked up. A traffic jam, she said, so everyone was supposed to get off. My traveling companion told me that we should stay on the bus so they could drop us off where they picked us up. The host said that we were only 5 minutes from the street near our hotel. Both of us were not that familiar with the downtown area and many residents were not fluent in English. I ended up using my GPS on my cell phone to get back to our hotel. It was NOT 5 minutes. We got turned around a bit, but it took us nearly 25 minutes to get to our hotel. Everything else was great about our vacation, but this bus trip.

Stuff friendly and professional at all times. One thing to consider is a lack of elevator.

I think we are all a combination of old-fashioned and new, progressive and conservative,…read moretraditional and different. I consider myself a progressive thinker and a very open person to new things, but when it comes to décor, there is no doubt I gravitate towards the old-fashioned and traditional. Such was the case when I just traveled to Prague for a glorious week and stayed at the Hotel Hastal in the Old Town. What a beautiful city Prague is. Besides that it is clean and safe and welcoming and affordable, I was blown away by how many old buildings are still intact. All you have to do is look up, and each building has some glorious architecture at the top. Maybe a statue, maybe an unusual shape, maybe a glorious terrace. What really blew me away was that the Jewish quarter is still intact. Hitler's plan was to demolish and eliminate the Jewish people and turn Prague into a kind of museum. This is where Jews lived. This is where Jews prayed. This is what a Jew looked like. This is what a Jew wore. Thank God his sick plan did not take effect and even with the devastation of the Jewish Community throughout Europe, Prague holds incredible Judaica from all the synagogues Hitler ravaged during World War II and the synagogues in Prague are still intact. Can you imagine being able to walk into a synagogue that's 500 years old. It was an amazing experience for me as a Jew! I decided to stay at Hotel Hastal in the Old Town. It was just what the doctor ordered. Everything was in walking distance. I never had to take a bus or a train. I just simply walked to everything and I loved it. It justified my funnel cake filled with ice cream!! The hotel itself is absolutely gorgeous and so old-fashioned and filled with incredible old world charm. The entrance, the staircase, the elevator, the reception area, the outside garden, the library, the room and the bar that served as our breakfast space in the morning. All these spaces are beautifully decorated with the original woodwork and artistry of its creators. The reception staff was incredibly helpful and guided me in the right direction always as far as where to eat and where to go and how to get there. The breakfast buffet was gorgeous. I wish I ate more in the morning because there was so many options. Fruits and vegetables and yogurt and eggs and cheese and coffee and tea and the list goes on and on. I especially loved their fresh warm bread with a good crust. Every morning I I loved the eating that bread with a cup of coffee... followed by everything else! LOL! Sometimes after a long day of walking I enjoyed a complimentary cup of hot tea and sitting in the library and taking it all in. So beautiful. Sometimes I woke up early in the morning and loved being able to run downstairs and get a cup of coffee even before breakfast officially began. They even provided some brandy for me in my room. I wish I drank! I could go on and on, but this place is really a gem. I thought the price was quite reasonable for what you got and for the quality of the experience. It was so conveniently located that quite often I would sightsee for a couple of hours, come back to my room to regroup and head out again. Makes a big difference when you're 72! I would have to put Prague near the top of my list of European cities I have visited. In general. I like Eastern Europe much more than Western Europe. It reminds me a lot of how I envisioned my grandparents lived before they emigrated to the United States. Do yourself a favor and go take a vacation to Prague. Filled with history, incredible Jewish synagogues, great food, easy to navigate, gorgeous churches, wonderful classical concerts and Hotel Hastal!!!

The location is perfect- easy walk to old town. The gentleman at the front desk is truly gracious, patient and genuinely kind. He recommended many great things, noticed when I missed breakfast one morning, lamented that we didn't tell him we were checking out so early in the morning because he didn't have time to prepare our breakfast, and was worried we were being overcharged for our ride to the airport. The room and hotel is stunning. And clean! The complimentary amenities are great and the little dessert and personalization is just so sweet. And if you go in the summer- the AC works great. I know for a fact that if we return to Prague, we will stay here again. I truly didn't want to leave.

It's also convenient to walk to all of the attractions. The staff at the Jewel truly go above and beyond to help you and make you feel comfortable. The two men at the front desk always answered any questions and gave extremely good advice. The maids leave your room impeccably clean daily with added bonuses like water with fresh fruit, and turn down service with dessert. The lady who works in the cafe at breakfast is one of the friendliest humans I've ever encountered, and OMG, the breakfast food! There is a buffet of things like pastries and yogurt, and then you can order a la carte items like omelets, bacon, etc. The rooms are beautiful and comfortable. Every detail of our stay at the Jewel was perfect, and I already long to return to Praha! I'd highly recommend this hotel, and will definitely stay here again when I hopefully return one day.

Located on a pedestrian zone street near historic Wenceslas Square. My second time in Prague and I liked this location instead of staying in the Old City, which can get noisy and crammed with tourists. This hotel was close enough but far enough, and has its own unique history with beautiful art deco buildings. I booked this hotel after a series of fiascos with Airbnb hosts, and was so happy I did. Very comfortable room. Even though it has a dated look, everything was in excellent condition and clean. I like how the bathroom and wardrobe closets is separated by a door which makes it feel like a suite. I only had a shower but from other photos a bathtub is available. The concierge told me they have plans to update. However, I hope they keep some of the old school features with the crown mouldings and plasterwork. Breakfast was included which is nice before jumping into the fray. The hot food was not too exciting but I liked the baked goods, yogurt, and beverage choices. I will probably stay here again if I return to Prague.
