While the name is Hostel Skippy, staying here feels more like being invited into someone's home. It is a small building located right on the Valtala River, about a 10 minute walk from the heart of town. There are many things that make Hostel Skippy special. First & foremost are Skippy & Teresa. They are both extremely welcoming, friendly, and... More

In 2011 I set off to see the world.I could have done just that and had an awesome time, but I randomly chose to stay at Hostel Skippy and ended up having a home away from home.This is way more than a backpackers or hostel- it has a heart and soul. It redefined fun, traveling spirit (v different from being... More

The first time I visited Hostel Skippy I was blown away, I've never visited a place as glorious as Cesky Krumlov and Hostel Skippy made my visit 100% perfect. It is a comfortable, cosy, artistic hostel which felt like a home from home - much needed after months of traveling away from my family. Everyone was so friendly and happy... More

Skippy"s place is just perfect. Next to the river Vltava, the balcony is right above it. You can watch canoers. The location is very good. Shops are close, and the centre as well. Skippy is a great host. You will feel like at a friend, not at a hostel. A homey and friendly place. We suggest everyone to visit her... More

Hi, Skippy is a very friendly owner, loves to talk and makes you feel comfortable. Very good communication thru email as well before our stay. We had a double room and a shared bathroom. The room is quite spacious and has windows opening towards the river. So excellent views. What I did not like much is that it was very... More

Hostel Skippy is really a private house which is run by a friendly hippy woman. She is very welcoming and tries to help you out with things to do and restaurants to go to. The inside of the hostel is pretty much made out of wood, and cozy-decorated, you do feel like at home. The room we stayed in was... More

I stayed here while backpacking across Europe back in the summer of 2002. Cesky Krumlov is a quaint little city (and a UN World Heritage site), and staying at Skippy's was one of the most memorable experiences of my tour. It's a little house with a fantastic deck off the kitchen, right next to the Vltava river. The hostel was... More

Skippy is an awesome hostel, very unique and homely, small and not exactly a party place but if your looking for somewhere very chilled and clean this is perfect. The owner was awesome, will help with everything and has all facilities you could need (minus internet which is available in town). Would highly recommend this place to anyone.

This place was awesome! We spent our trip looking for places that would feel unique and this was definately one of them. Theres a terrace along the river and super friendly and helpful staff. We stayed much longer than we'd anticipated and we will definately go back. Its clean and comfy and the owner makes everyone feel like her special... More
