Hostel TynEditor's Pick

EuroCheapo Review email this page print this page

Location, location, location! If proximity to the city center is your prime consideration when booking a bed, check out the Hostel Týn. With 21 bare-bones rooms and a fabulous locale off one of Old Town's winding streets, the place is perfect for Cheapos who want to be in the thick of things.

Rooms sleep two to five guests, and all share bathrooms. The furnishings are simple wooden wardrobes and desks, and large black and white photos and poster art hang on the brightly-painted walls. Bathrooms are surprisingly fresh and colorful, but, like the rooms, are quite basic. Though guestrooms occupy two floors, showers are located only on the second floor. (Toilets, however, are on both floors.)

Hostel Týn has a fully-equipped guest kitchen and a large hang-out area with a TV and lots of tables. Reception is always open, however the hostel accepts only cash. The Tyn shares its courtyard with Beas, a cheap and popular vegetarian restaurant. The Literary Café down the street is another good pick, especially for its huge summer garden.
