About

Charles Bridge Hostel & Apartments

Charles Bridge Hostel & Apartments sits on Mostecka, a street that leads directly onto Charles Bridge — you can be on it in about 10 seconds. The 2-star property offers a mix of private rooms, dormitories, and self-catering apartments, all kept simple but clean, with heating, free Wi-Fi, and key-card access. A shared kitchen, lounge with terrace, and a garden give guests space to relax between sightseeing.

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Limited privacy in shared dorms — Most dormitory rooms only list heating as an amenity, so shared bathroom and basic amenities are the norm.
  • Check-in window ends at midnight — Arrivals are only accepted between 15:00 and 23:59, which may be tricky for late flights or trains.
  • No on-site parking mentioned — The hotel mentions a nearby car park, but there's no dedicated parking facility listed, so drivers may need to plan ahead.
  • Typical hostel noise levels — With a bar, karaoke, night club, and live entertainment on site, light sleepers may find it lively in the evenings.

“Great location near the landmarks, easy tram stop, and supermarket. Quirky medieval staircase and nice rooftop views from the simple but cozy bedroom. Staff were helpful, bed comfortable, and facilities clean. Felt like a spacious apartment. Highly recommended!”

8.6Verified guest

“I had an amazing stay! The location was unbeatable — a stone's throw from Charles Bridge and all the major sights. The room was spacious and clean, with a kitchenette and private bathroom. Despite being central, it was surprisingly quiet at night, so I slept well. The staff were friendly and went out of their way — they gave me sightseeing tips and even helped with luggage. The hostel also offered free walking tours and events. I had a small issue with the bathroom sink, but it was fixed quickly. Would highly recommend for a comfortable, convenient stay.”
