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.

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.

8Verified guest“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.”
8Verified guest“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.”
8Verified guest“The hostel is near a metro station, which makes exploring the city easy. The centre is within walking distance, and the hostel has a well-equipped kitchen for preparing your own meals.”
8Verified guest“The room was clean, and the receptionist was very kind, young, and spoke excellent English.”
8Verified guest“Staff were polite and helpful - they booked us a taxi for an early morning airport trip. The room was very clean and towels were provided. A nice stay, and only a quick tram ride to the centre.”
