Clean accommodations, comfortable bed, and delicious and cheap breakfast. Only complaint was that the key cards demagnetized constantly. I had to replace mine 6-7 times during a three-night stay.

Banging!!!
I stayed in the 5 women dorm and it was perfect. Didn't realize there was a separate kitchen/eating area. That was great! The room itself was huge and super comfortable for 5 people, especially no bunk beds!! I can't say enough how much i loved the pillow! LOL... the entire stay was above my expectation. Staff super friendly and helpful. A totally 5 star experience! Thank you Sophie's Hostel! 😊👍

Stayed for 3 nights. The location is quite nice as it’s very close to subway station. However, tram is the main transportation around the city so you need to expect 5-7 mins to the station. Staff at the hostel are very friendly and lift inside the property is a plus.

It was my first experience in a hostel, and I must admit that it was very nice. The facilities in general are very clean, and are very similar to the pictures. However, what I would recommend this hostel for is its friendly atmosphere, the place is run by young friends, and they organize activities and excursions for the guests to integrate, so if you are travelling alone it makes it easy to make friends. Additionally, it is very well located, the metro station is less than 5 minutes walk away.

What a lovely place!
Great place! Cool bar/cafe area, lovely building, super clean and nice rooms, has a hotel vibe in terms of comfort over a hostel! Only bad things, room door so creaky kept waking everyone up. Wasn’t overly female solo traveller friendly, I stayed in mixed dorms but they were more like male dorms. If possible try get female rooms! Staff very helpful though.

I stayed a week in lovely Prague. The accommodation was really good and so handy. Trams and the Metro are easy to use, and more or less on the doorstep. Breakfast there was lovely and a low price. Staff were lovely. The only downside was that some guests (on my last night) were not considerate of other guests.

Sophie’s hostel in Prague
Sophie’s hostel is very clean, the staff was great. It’s a little walk to the main square below the national museum but no biggie. I would recommend to anyone if you are backpacking around spend a little more and stay here.

Overall Great Stay
The all female dorm was surprisingly large and spacious. It is quite modern, with a private bathroom and kitchen. The beds each had a shelf and a light. The room was very large and there was only one fan, which was not really enough in the hot weather. We slept with the windows open. A couple drawbacks: they have a wooden floor which moves when people walk on it, so when you were trying to sleep you could tell when people were moving around and the lockers are pull out drawers under the bed so you could hear them when people were opening them. I didn’t have the best sleep, even with earplugs. Overall a modern and lovely place. I didn’t use the bar, but they had events and things going on. I would stay again if I was in the area.

Sophie's Hostel is a real gem - I was in a 5 bed female dorm with single (not bunk) beds with en suite kitchen and bathroom. The kitchen had a fridge, oven/cooktop and crockery/cutlery. Everything was spotless and each bed had a shelf, reading light, coat hanger and plug socket. It was a quick and easy check-in and -out with friendly staff. I didn't use the bar/communal area but breakfast and alcohol could be purchased (not sure about other meals). Although a bit of a walk to the Old Town Square / Charles Bridge / Castle, the area felt safe and was close to the train and trams. There were plenty of pubs and restaurants nearby.

I loved the design of all building and furnitures, lobby bar was so cosy and cute. Having a semi-private bathroom in the room was amazing. Staff was so kind and friendly, I was only dissapointed they didn’t have laundry but they suggested and guided a laundry near hostel so I didn’t have any problem. I would definitely choose Sophie’s for the next time.

Sophie's Hostel is conveniently situation only minutes from Vaclavske Namnesti and a Metro station. The staff were super friendly, spoke several languages and were knowledgable about things to do in Prague. The accommodation was clean, well set out and useful (lockable trunks were provided). I loved the fact that there are female rooms only. The only issue I could possibly speak of was other travellers being noisy when coming in late, but hey that is a courtesy issue. I loved my stay and will return to Sophie's when I again travel to Prague.

Comfortable stay and convenient
I am staying at the 5 bedded ensuite. This is the 2nd time I stay. I like this place is because near to metro and easy to go around by tram. The service in hotel is good. Tesco express is within short walking distance. The hot water for shower was not working this time which I have forgotten to report to the front desk.

Great staff, good location plus price, amazing breakfast and drinks menu....but I stayed in room 1D in the first bottom bed at the left, for two nights only and I can only put one fault, bed bugs. I realised I was bitten after my second night and still wasn't sure what was from. I spent most of my time out so only really stayed few hours to sleep and eat breakfast. It's a shame as other than that it was ok.

Dear Raquel Levi, Thank you for choosing Sophie's Hostel for your stay in Prague. We are so sorry to hear that you had to face the problem with bed bugs. We take the problems with bed bugs very seriously and we always do everything what is in our power to remove the bed bug problem, e.g. heating the room to over 60 degrees, using special sprayes against the bed bugs, washing everything and etc. Once again, we are very sorry and we still hope that when you will return back to Prague you wil stay at Sophie's Hostel.

Great hostel
I really enjoyed my stay here. Beds were comfortable and facilities were great. I stayed in an all girls dorm, which was like a mini apartment. It included a kitchen which came in very handy. Very affordable and is located right next to a tram and metro station making getting around the city very easy! I would definitely recommend staying here!

Flexible to grant an early check-in as availability allows - very much appreciated! Helpful staff providing a city map, giving directions to nearest laundromat! Room and ensuite bathroom + kitchen are clean and well maintained! I love the fact that the kitchen is ensuite! Fridge, stove, hotspot, utensils… everything else you may need is provided! No bunk beds and extremely spacious, though the 5th bed is laid out in an awkward position near the windows. Definitely one of the best I’ve stayed in, no complaints!

I've stayed here twice and will definitely be back again my next time in Prague. The hostel is an excellent price, especially considering how clean and comfortable the rooms are, the location, and how friendly and accommodating the staff are.
