Sir Toby’s Hostel
To get out of the chaotic and tourist-clogged Old Town and enjoy one of Prague’s quiet residential neighborhoods, take a look at Sir Toby’s Hostel. It lies across the river from the Old Town and Jewish Quarter, so it is only a short tram ride away from the city’s main sights, but the hostel can be your retreat from the tour groups after a long day of sight seeing. Close to the hostel itself you will also find plenty of things a traveler needs - from supermarkets and photo shops to restaurants and night clubs - so you do not need to get into the city center for every little thing.
Sir Toby’s Hostel offers lots of variety in its rooms - the dorm style rooms come with either 4-6 beds in a room or 8 beds in a room. The latter are bunk beds, the former are singles. Private rooms are available as well in the form of singles all the way up to six beds. All the private rooms, with the exception of the ones with six beds, have a private en suite bathroom as well. Instead of the typical coffee and croissants you expect when you see “free breakfast” at most hostels, Sir Toby’s Hostel serves up an all-you-can-eat breakfast for a small fee - but this is a breakfast that means business. In the evenings, the hostel pub in the cozy brick basement is the perfect spot to talk with other guests about what you did that day, and maybe pick up some travel tips as well.
Some of the amenities you will find at Sir Toby’s Hostel are:
- Free linens, towels available
- Internet access and free WiFi
- On site bar and terrace area
- Laundry facilities and guest kitchen
- Luggage storage and security lockers
- 24 hour reception and 24 hour check in
- No curfew or lockout
Prague is a feast for the eyes, and Sir Toby’s Hostel is no exception - the building housing the hostel is in the Art Nouveau style you will see all over the city. And the interior of the hotel is beautifully decorated as well - no grim hostel style here! The friendly and helpful staff is on hand to assist you with whatever travel needs you have, and some nights there are movie nights on the hostel’s big screen - just ask about them when you check in.
Sir Toby’s Hostel will give you a taste of Prague’s real life in its quiet and pretty neighborhood, but you will never be too far from everything that is going on in the city center. The prices are right and the atmosphere is friendly, too, so it is a great choice in Prague.
