The hostel

The Hostel Orange, formerly the Aparthouse 20, features a wide range of reasonably-priced accommodations, from private doubles to dormitories to a massive apartment that sleeps up to 16 travellers. All of the accommodations are simply decorated and furnished, though the apartment features its own kitchen, television and personal computer.

The dorms, which sleep four to 16 people, as well as the private doubles, come with either ensuite or shared bathrooms. If you get hungry, you can use the shared kitchen facilities or head downstairs to the traditional Czech restaurant on the first floor (where guests of the Orange receive a 10% discount). Wi-Fi is free and available throughout.

The Orange isn't beautifully furnished or decorated for the trendy set, but it is smack in the center of town, bright, clean, and cheap. For that reason, it attracts no shortage of young travelers, blasting their way across Europe.
