Ho(s)tel Imperial and other Prague, Czech Republic Hotel/Accommodation Reviews

More of a hotel than a hostel, hence the "(s)", and not a bad budget option if you are in a group. 2 and 3 bed rooms are large but basic and shared facilities are clean. The free breakfast is pretty poor (dry bread, salami and water) but if you're properly enjoying Prague you won't be up for it anyway.

Ask for a room on one of the upper floors in summer as the passing trams are extremely noisy when the windows are open.

Unique Qualities: The bar downstairs is pleasant enough and bizarrely sells baskets of stale doughnuts which you can throw at customers. Apparenty it's part of the drinking experience but i'm sceptical as to wether it ever actually happens.

This hotel is cheap for it's fantastic location and extremely clean. Also, there are double rooms which can convince you are in a hotel rather than a hostel. However, staff are rude and this place doesn't have a hostel feel... the common room was always empty.

In summary, good for couples looking for a budget option... terrible for backpackers looking to meet people.
