A five-minute walk from the National Museum and just south of Wenceslas Square, the Hostel & Pension Atlas, like many places in Prague, has a dark entrance. However, it's worth facing: inside you'll discover a welcoming staff and bright facilities.
Lemka, at the front desk, informed us the Atlas is "just a hostel," though not all rooms cater solely to backpackers. The two- and three-bed rooms are perfect for frugal friends and cost-conscious couples. With only 10 rooms altogether, the hostel has an intimate feel unlike other youth centers that sleep hundreds of guests.
When the EuroCheapo team checked up on the Atlas (fall of 2005), two guys in their 20s were using the brightly painted lounge: one on the Internet and one watching television.
Unlike other hostels which close during the day for clean-up, the doors of the Atlas are open for guests 24 hours a day. The flexible hours might prove convenient should a dark, absinthe hangover suddenly arise.
