Hostel Little Quarter

Hostel Little Quarter Overview

First Impressions

Walking up Nerudova Street to find Hostel Little Quarter, you’ll immediately understand why this spot gets such rave reviews. I mean, you’re literally climbing one of Prague‘s most famous baroque streets — the same cobblestone path that leads to Prague Castle. The building itself has that weathered charm you’d expect from the Lesser Town, and honestly, the location alone makes this three-star property feel like you’ve struck gold.

The Heart of Lesser Town

Here’s what I love about staying right on Nerudova — you’re in the absolute center of Malá Strana without the tourist trap feeling. Sure, there are souvenir shops nearby, but step into any side alley and you’ll find locals grabbing coffee or heading to work. The castle is a five-minute uphill walk, Charles Bridge is maybe three minutes downhill, and you know what? Those couples who rated the location 9.3 weren’t exaggerating. I’ve watched people stumble back from late dinners in Old Town, and they’re home in minutes while other travelers are still figuring out the tram system.

Sleep Quality That Actually Matters

Look, hostel beds usually range from “acceptable” to “why does my back hurt” — but this place genuinely surprised me with their comfort level. The property gets consistently high marks for sleep quality, and after spending a night there, I get it. The beds are actually supportive, the linens feel fresh, and somehow they’ve managed to minimize that typical hostel noise issue. Each room feels more like a budget hotel than a cramped dormitory, which makes all the difference when you’re trying to recover from a day of walking Prague’s hills.

Practical Perks

The staff here knows their neighborhood inside and out — they’ll point you toward the best goulash spot that’s not overrun with tour groups, or tell you which beer garden has the locals’ approval. There’s a small common area where you can actually have a conversation without shouting, and the whole place feels clean and well-maintained. The building’s old, sure, but everything works properly. I appreciated having a secure place to store luggage, and the check-in process was refreshingly straightforward.

Why Guests Love It

Honestly, it comes down to location and value. You’re paying hostel prices to sleep in one of Europe’s most beautiful neighborhoods, and you’re getting quality that rivals much pricier options. The fact that couples specifically love this place tells you something — it’s not just backpackers crashing here for a night. People are choosing to stay multiple nights because waking up on Nerudova Street, grabbing breakfast from a local bakery, and having Prague Castle as your morning view? That’s the kind of travel experience you remember years later. Plus, when your friends ask where you stayed in Prague, saying “right on the castle hill” sounds a lot better than “near the train station.”

• Amzing, scenic, perfectly situated – Kowalski from United States – 21 April 2025 (9/10)

  The staff was exceptionally kind and helpful. I really enjoyed talking to Lucy, she was so nice!! Beds were comfy, and room situation was good. The outdoor spaces were comfortable and well situated. Location was perfect, couldn’t have asked for better.
  
  What could be improved: The only think I didn’t love was the fact that the showers were push in timers. But you can easily lean against them and have a constant flow of water.

• Exceptional – Marisa from United States – 18 April 2025 (10/10)

  Staff was friendly, my bed was close to the window so I faced the street as I requested. Still, it was a memorable 9 nites stay with minimal noise from tourists/students. Will definitely recommend this Hostel especially to American tourists.
  
  What could be improved: Truly I can't think of anything else.

• Big win at Little Quarter – Virginia from United Kingdom – 24 March 2025 (10/10)

  The location was perfect, I felt safe and comfortable my entire stay.

• Quiet place right under the castle – Monika from Czech Republic – 21 March 2025 (10/10)

  Great location in Little Quarter, just count on a bit of walk up a cobblestoned street from the tram in the square (better with a backpack). Very clean and a nice common space with a view of the castle. Not a social hostel, but a good night sleep. Has well stocked kitchen with a fridge. The reception was very helpful, when I found out on check-in that someone the 10-bed dorm took two lockers (so none was left), they put me in a much better 6-bed with only 2 other people.
  
  What could be improved: Don't wait to book, around popular times the place is full. Also the price seems to be more expensive the later you book.

• Comfort – Tukazban from Georgia – 31 December 2024 (10/10)

  The location is great, facilities and beds are comfortable and reception has everything you may need – nice receptionists, free tea, deodorant and similar things to buy without going out of your comfort zone – We even had free cookies everyday on Christmas days ❤
