Sir Toby’s

Richard at the front desk is the man! You just have to accept his airs of always being annoyed, really he’s just being funny. I think. He puts on a great walking tour – he studied art history in college and if you’re interested he’ll go into detail on that. Prague has a very rich architectural history, with a ton of different historical styles all mixing together to make up the city. I would definitely suggest you try and get Richard talking about that. He can also tell you some neat stuff about the Holy Roman Empire/​Charlemagne if you have some background on that. Very knowledgeable guy.
The room, for the price, was great. It was 4 beds, none bunked, with a pretty huge amount of space for a hostel. Lockboxes under the bed. Window looking outwards, very nice décor in the room in general. Two such rooms shared a shower and toilet, I never had to wait on anyone.
The downstairs bar is a great way to meet people. Beer is so cheap, there’s no reason to not have a liter or two and make some friends before heading out. There’s one big common table, which forces group discussions – I approve. They also had some hostel events like an outdoor barbecue, free pancakes (with nutella and jam yay!) at the bar – perfect with a few beers, a beer tasting (great value for the amount you drink and a great intro to Prague).

Had an amazing experience! 6 of my girlfriends and I stayed here for three nights and loved the hostel. The rooms were spacious and clean. The bathrooms are average. Make sure to bring your own soap and shampoo. There were free events such as a bar-​b-​q.

Alright, I’ll start off by saying that, unfortunately, I don’t remember any of the staff member’s names.
From the moment my friends and I walked in we were greeted by a warm and cheerful staff member. She promptly helped us and explained how the hostel works. After having arrived at 6am in Prague and spending the afternoon in the city, it was nice to be greeted by someone so lovely.
We stayed in a 12-​bed dorm. The walls and floor are wood so it gave the room a very cozy feeling. Aside from the difficulty in getting to the top bunk, I had no complaints for the room. Every bed has a curtain, an outlet, a small cubby, and a large cubby.
Although the hostel is not centrally located, the tram which takes you to the metro is no more than a 5 minute walk away. We did some exploring in the neighborhood and found some cool restaurants. And the hostel if fairly close to Cross Club, the neighborhood’s alternative dance club.
Every night the staff has some sort of planned activity. The night we arrived they served us free crepes. They also had a movie night, a game night, and most importantly they had a free BBQ night on Saturday. That was definitely the best night. Everyone came out of their rooms to talk and eat the wonderful, free food.
It was honestly the best hostel experience I’ve ever had!

Good and clean hostel. But check-​in took 1 (!!!) hour, because Richard (staff member) first had to tell other guests very looooong how everything works. Also he is very rude and always annoyed!

Hostels can be tough to rate because everyone has different needs and wants. When my sister and I backpacked through Prague we were excited to check out the city and really delve into the local scene. We found Sir Toby’s through some online research and were relieved to read such positive reviews. There’s WIFI access, the rooms are clean, the hostel itself is cute and the staff is nice, and we loved the «club» below the hostel that operated as the breakfast room in the AM and a bar/​hang out spot for guests in the evenings and at night.
More affordable than most other hostels, the downside we found with Sir Toby’s was just the location. Not too close to the center of the city, you’re stuck needing to cab or take the train places to see the center of the city and the many tourist attractions. It wasn’t an expensive or long ride, (make sure to get a week-​long pass if you want to take the train for more than just a ride or two. It’s the best way to get around!) but as young adults, we were really looking for more noise and activity. Because of the distance from downtown you don’t get the ins/​outs and hustle and bustle of people coming and going. And because of that, the atmosphere was less social and more quiet. Which is certainly good if you are looking for that!
If you want to be somewhere that’s walkable to more than some small shops, parks and grocery stores, this may not be the right spot for you. But it’s cheap, it’s clean and sometimes that’s all you need!
