The Hostel Týn is tucked away in a sunny courtyard just off of Týnská—one of our favorite streets in all of Prague. It offers 17 very simple rooms with shared toilets at very pleasant prices. Best of all, the Týn manages to feel far from the maddening tourist crowds, even though it's almost laughably close to Namesti Staré Mesto. Now that's Bohemian magic!
Rooms, very basic, are mostly doubles or triples, though the largest sleep five. Furniture is simple, and there's certainly no AC. But sheets and towels are included in the price, and, as the Týn doesn't have a curfew, guests get their own keys to the front door.
The hostel shares the courtyard with Beas Vegetarian Dhaba—a small Indian restaurant run by a Czech woman with a penchant for wearing saris and lots of eye shadow. The combo plates are popular and cheap, though we were less than enthused by the soggy saag paneer.
We can't finish this review without mentioning a little more about our favorite street: Týnska ... We suggest you read some Kafka while sipping coffee at the literally literary café Týnska Literarni Kavarna. Finish an afternoon of sightseeing with a few pivos at Café Ritual. After your afternoon nap, splash out with a fancy cocktail at the refined Bar and Books, which has two sister bars in New York City.
