European Hostel Of The Week: Plus Hostel, Prague

The hostel is located right in the up-and-coming Holesovice district of Prague, so you are never too far from some lively restaurants, bars and clubs that are amongst the best in the world. The hostel is also in reach of the city’s old town with its iconic attractions such as the beautiful Charles Bridge and Prague Castle. Traveling around this fantastic city is easy: just hop on a tram and in just 12 minutes you’re there!

After a day in the heart of The Czech Republic, it’s definitely worth chilling out in the hostel’s swimming pool and sauna (yes you read correctly – no more slumming it backpacker style), then grabbing some authentic local food and of course – the real local speciality – some cool Czech beers in their bar and restaurant. For those of you body conscious about working off those alcohol calories, PLUS Prague’s in-house gym will help you keep in shape – it’s affordable too, for just € 3 per session.

The hostel have also catered for every type of traveller; a female-only section named PLUS Girls gives female travellers a touch of comfort with added luxuries such as a fluffy towel and a wellness pack, while those looking for a bit more privacy can book twin/double or triple rooms in PLUS Prague’s hotel section (hotel guests also enjoy free entry to the gym), and of course for anybody else luxury shared hostel rooms – all with ensuite bathrooms as standard – are provided.

But they haven’t forgotten the nuts and bolts such as laundry, luggage storage, a chill-out zone, awesome friendly and helpful staff that can guide you to the best hidden gems in the city, internet and 24-hour security – all the things that have become the norm from a PLUS hostel.

PLUS also offer a luxury backpacking experience in Florence, Rome, Venice and Berlin – you can check them out and book a room/bed at www.plushostels.com.
