HOSTEL DAKURA, Prague

The hostel sits in the Dejvice neighbourhood, a quiet area with many restaurants, cafés, and grocery stores within a short walk. The building is a 5-minute walk from the metro and tram stop, giving direct access to the city centre, Prague Castle (2 km away, about a 25-minute walk or quick tram ride), and Prague Airport (20-minute drive). Street parking is sometimes available on weekends for free, while paid guarded parking can be reserved. The area feels safe and is well connected for car-free exploration.

Accommodation ranges from single and double private rooms to multi-bed dorms and two-bedroom apartments. Many rooms have a sink inside, which reduces the need to leave the room for basic hygiene. Bed setups include single beds as well as two single beds pushed together to form a double. The property is older in style, with basic furnishings; some rooms show signs of age, such as worn mattresses and dated decor. Soundproofing is limited, so requests for rooms away from the elevator and street can improve sleep. Heating is central and generally effective in winter. For summer, there is no air conditioning, but windows can be opened.

A café bar operates on the premises and serves drinks and snacks. Vending machines for drinks and snacks are also available. The hostel does not serve breakfast or have a restaurant. Several dining options are within a 2-minute walk, including traditional Czech pubs, a steakhouse, and international restaurants. Each floor has a fully equipped shared kitchen with a stovetop, refrigerator, microwave, and cookware, allowing self-catering. A Tesco supermarket is about a 10-minute walk away for groceries.

The hostel offers several free recreational activities: billiards, darts, table tennis, and organised walking tours. There is also a garden with outdoor furniture, a sun terrace, and BBQ facilities. For those interested in off-site activities, horse riding can be arranged for an additional charge. A nearby beer and wine spa provides additional wellness opportunities outside the property. No swimming pool or in-house spa is available.

Wi-Fi is free throughout the building. A tour desk offers advice on Prague attractions. Luggage storage is provided at no charge before check-in and after check-out, with a locked room for security. A paid airport shuttle service costs €22 or 600 CZK per car ride (2-person capacity). Laundry facilities are available for a fee. The shared lounge and TV area provide a social space. Services include express check-in/check-out, a safety deposit box, and daily housekeeping. Pets are allowed for a nightly fee of €5. An invoice for university reimbursement can be provided upon request. The property has a lift for upper-floor access and offers self check-in via a secure key box for late arrivals.
