Hi,

I am posting on behalf of my friend who will be traveling to Prague at the end of April. Last time I was in Prague was back in 2001, and I am sure a lot has changed with the hostel scene since.

My friend is a mid twenties working guy who does not have much experience traveling in Europe. He is traveling solo and/or with one other friend. While he could probably afford an inexpensive hotel, I recommended a hostel given the social able factor and the ability to meet other travelers to hang out with and explore the city (or go out at night).

Personally, from my hostel experiences I preferred a private room with a private shower versus sharing bulk-beds with 16 people, and I think my friend would prefer that as well.

Price is the least important factor, I guess location, comfort, and the social factor are a priority.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Kind regards,

George
