In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • High staff ratings and helpful service — Guests consistently mention friendly, helpful staff who assist with airport taxis, local advice, and speak English well.
  • Clean rooms and shared facilities — From dorms to private rooms, guests note cleanliness in sleeping areas and shared bathrooms.
  • Quiet yet well-connected location — The hostel sits in a peaceful area with metro, tram, and bus stops nearby - about 10 minutes to the centre by metro and a direct bus to the airport.
  • Good value for money — Guests find the rates reasonable, especially compared to other Prague options, and the shared kitchen helps keep food costs down.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Check-in only until 22:00 — If you arrive later, you'll need to coordinate with the hostel - not ideal for very late night arrivals.
  • Facilities score is the weakest category — Guests rate the facilities lower than other aspects, so don't expect modern, high-end amenities.
  • Some staff inconsistency — While most guests praise the staff, a few mention that not all team members were equally helpful.
  • Centre is not a quick walk — Walking to the city centre takes about an hour, so you'll rely on public transport or a taxi for that.

“We loved the quiet location and the spacious rooms. The shared kitchen and fridge were great for cooking and storing food. The bathrooms were clean and well-kept. The old-school design gave the place a charming character. Reception staff were friendly and gave us useful tips. The garden and indoor chill-out area were peaceful. It felt like a place with a soul and plenty of room to relax.”

“The staff were very friendly, and our room was spacious and clean, though we had asked for a double and got a twin instead. The shared bathrooms were in good condition. Free Wi-Fi worked throughout. Public transport (bus, tram, metro) was close by. Recommended for budget backpackers.”

8Verified guest

“I only stayed overnight because I had an early morning flight from Prague, and Hostel Dakura was the best option. It's about 5 minutes from the bus stop with a direct line to the airport. The location is excellent - restaurants, fast food, supermarkets, banks, and the metro, bus, and tram stops are all nearby. The price is fair for a European capital. Rooms were clean and everything worked. The staff were nice and spoke English.”
