Arpacay Backpackers Hostel

Hostel

👍👍 Comfy beds, friendly staff, right near the castle and near an amazing vegan restaurant. Didnt find it loud at all, one of the quietest hostels I've ever stayed in although it was a Monday and Tuesday. Would 100% recommended. Only downside is the hill you have to walk to get to it, but let's be hones... People often mention hostel, good, nice, location, clean, Prague, great, Hostel, staff, room,

    This is one of the prettiest hostels I've seen, very clean and well kept. The only reason that I didn't give 5-star is that they moved me around during my stay in order to accommodate a large group, and the new room was slightly worse than the original one. Overall still a pleasant experience.

    This is simply the best hostel in Prague. Location, beds, atmosphere, staf, bathrooms, everything is perfect. I came back every year. It's sad that they have to close (or move) and I hope they will find a new spot!

    A good hostel, good relation price-benefit. At a privileged position. 10 minutes walk from the castle, the bridge, and 15 minutes from city center. There are plenty of restaurants and souvenir shops around the place

    Great place with nice atmosphere. It's on the legendary Nerudova street and it's just below the castle. There's nice view on the top of the building.

    (Translated by Google) Good hostel! Very nice building in a great location (good view over prague) climb a small hill but then you have something, I recommend you take tram 22 (until the entrance to the kings garden) and then walk downstairs! Hostel is otherwise chill, but only 1 toilet and shower for 14 people and shower is little privacy. Well facilitated kitchen unfortunately you can not in the kitchen from 6 to 12 am morning due to breakfast buffet, but a lot of breakfast for the price (3 €) 4 beds rooms are all very hot in the attic in the summer. Staff is neutral but friendly. (Original) Goed hostel! Heel mooi gebouw op een gave locatie (goed uitzicht over praag) klein heuveltje oplopen maar dan heb je ook wat, ik adviseer je tram 22 (tot ingang kings garden) te nemen en dan naat beneden te lopen! Hostel is verder wel chill, wel maar 1 wc en douche voor 14 mensen en douche is weinig privacy. Goed gefaciliteerde keuken helaas kun je niet in de keuken van 6 tot 12u sochtends ivm ontbijt buffet, wel veel ontbijt voor de prijs (3€) 4 bedden kamers zijn helemaal op zolder erg warm in de zomer. Personeel is neutraal maar vriendelijk.

    (Translated by Google) Arpacay Backpackers Hostel is located within the Czech Castle area, so whether you want to climb the palace's commanding heights, high sunrises or sunsets, you have to go to other neighborhoods, Old Town, New Town, Jewish Quarter. And the Gaobao District will not be too far away, as long as the streetcar can be swayed everywhere. In addition to the mixed housing of different numbers of people, there are also brigade rooms to choose from. I lived in mixed housing for the first three days. It is rare to see that the room for 16 people is still neat and tidy (perhaps just the tenants at that time are very regular) The girls’ room has its own shower and toilet and is also recommended. The breakfast is simple, you can have a little belly, and then go out and sway. (Original) Arpacay Backpackers Hostel地理位置就在捷克城堡區範圍內,所以無論是想爬上皇宮的制高點高日出或是日落都很近,就算是要去到其他的小區、舊城區、新城區、猶太區和高堡區也不會太遠,只要搭著路面電車隨意到處晃晃都可。 除了不同人數劃分的混住房,也有旅生房可供選擇,我前三天住混住房,難得的看到十六人的房間還維持一定的整潔(或許是剛好那時的房客都很規矩),女生房有自己的淋浴間與廁所,也推薦入住。早餐簡單,可以稍微果腹,再出門晃晃。

    A great hostel with nice beds. Stayed a week on one of the top floors so it was quite a climb up after also climbing to the hostel itself as it is situated on a hill, but that didn't bother me at all. The building feel authentic and old, but has clean toilets and showers. Nearby there are good restaurants and the tourist places are not so far away. On the other side of the street you'll find the mini supermarket. Recommended is going further up hill as there is a beautiful monastery and also easy access to Petrin Park. I had a great time in Prague thanks to the good night rest I got in this hostel

    Great hostel in the center of Prague. Beds and bathrooms were clean and staff friendly. It is located on the opposite side from all the clubs and party goers making it quite quiet.

    Back in 2015 my credit card was cloned and I believe staff at this hostel have something to do with it. Check on trip advisor and other sites on the risks of using credit cards in Prague. Other than that, it is clean and very nice. Not so good if you don't like walking as it's on a hill.

    A really great place to stay. The Hostel is close to downtown and has a great view. The place is very comfortable and all people were nice during my stay. Just a few tips: • Try to bring few luggage (if any) as the street is uphill and if you have to walk to get a cab it will be a pain for you. • There is a terrace in one of the floors. It is very comfortable to sit there for a few minutes if you want to relax from all the movement in the city. • If you staying in the attic, try to take pictures. You can take amazing pictures.

    (Translated by Google) A great hostel just below the famous Prague Castle. The hostel has excellent prices. It is in a location that provides quick access to many attractions in the city center without a car. (Original) Odličen hostel tik pod znamenitim Praškim gradom. Hostel ima odlične cene.

    Unser Aufenthalt im Arpacay Backpackers Hostel war wirklich sehr schön :) Die Zimmer waren ordentlich und gut eingerichet. Das Badezimmer ist sauber und auch wenn man es sich mit mehreren teilt gut nutzbar. Wir hatten einen tollen Ausblick über die ganze Stadt und auf das Prague Castle :) Wir werden sehr gerne wieder kommen. Einfach toll!!

  • 5/5 Мариана �. 7 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Good hostel: in the common room it was warm, cleaned every day, the linen is a separate thank you, clean, ironed, it was nice. There is a common kitchen, you can cook, breakfasts (75 kroons) in the mornings from 7 to 12 you can not use the kitchen, this is of course a minus, since it deprives you of the right to a full breakfast, but you can survive. There were no queues on the block 3 showers, 2 toilets. Common room is a good place to watch a movie, if you have your favorite movies on DVD, take them with you, you can watch there. The location is super! Near St. Vitus Cathedral, 5 minutes to Charles Bridge, i.e. to the center we walked 15-20 minutes. Nearby there are normal priced Shops stores, such as the so-called direct opposite will be seen and the supermarket is closer to the bridge. Separately, WiFi super pulls even movies. In general, I recommend this hostel to stay. (Original) Хороший хостел: в общей комнате было тепло, убирались каждый день, бельё это отдельное спасибо- чистое, выглаженное, было приятно. Есть общая кухня, можно готовить, завтраки (75 крон) по утрам с 7 до 12 кухней пользоваться нельзя, это конечно минус, так как тем самым лишают тебя права на полноценный завтрак, но пережить можно. На блок 3 душа, 2 туалета очередей не возникало. Общая комната- хорошее место посмотреть кино, если у вас есть любимые фильмы на двд берите их с собой, там можно посмотреть. Расположение супер! Рядом собор св.Вита, в 5 минутах Карлов мост, т.е. до центра мы шли 15-20 минут. Рядом есть нормальные по цене магазины Забота, вроде так называются прям напротив увидите и супермаркет ближе к мосту. Отдельно- WiFi супер тянет даже фильмы. В целом рекомендую данный хостел для проживания.

  • 5/5 Kampi 8. 6 years ago on Google
    Ich war 2013 für 4 Nächte dort. Es ist zu empfehlen und auch sehr sauber. Schade nur dass man kaum gute Gemeinschaftsräume hat um zu trinken und andere kennen zu lernen. Das ist in australischen Hostels def. anders. Aber auch die Aussicht aus dem oberen Raum war hervorragend. Definitiv würde ich dort nochmal übernachten ! Prag ist immer eine Reise wert

    This Hostel was way better than we expected: the rooms and dorms are clean, the location is more than perfect and the staff is friendly and available 24/7. My friends and I stayed in one of the dorms and we've had a great experience. I strongly suggest this hostel for your stay!
