The first impression was good and we were not disappointed. The reception is in the pub-restaurant area. They give you the welcome drink ticket (shoot of Borovička - good luck trying this...)
The receptionist (at least one of them) is very nice and helpful.
The breakfast was pretty good: bread, nutella or jam, cereals and milk (they were short of...

We enjoyed our nights here, not the best hostel in the world but it's a fun little building. We must have been there during a slow week because we didn't see too many other people but we had a great room facing the street with a huge bay window and a mini little balcony. Beds weren't great, neither was the...

I rated everything...

It's not that we had to have a beautiful place to stay in, just that we expected something a little nicer than what we got.

Downtown hostel, located down the street from the station (15min walk), is perfectly situated between the castle (up a hill) and the town centre. While I was staying there though, construction works were going on outside and it didn't seem like they'd be finished in the next couple of months - so beware those wanting a lie-in.
The rooms themselves...
