Travel&Joy Backpackers Reviews

There's no complaint. Everything meets the expectation for a hostel, except the shower water which is a bit unstable

It is a decent place to stay but the facilities might be modest, but considering the price they offered, it is still worthy compared to others hostel, it is located in the within the city area, walking distance from a commercial centre called Quadrio, overall quite satisfied with the stay.

Location walking distance to old town, very convenient to any place even to central station

Only the location is good, amenities and especially service is not so good, the building is old.

I didn't even get the key deposit because the staff didn't come after 8:20 a.m. Please be on time

The room was spotless and perfectly maintained. Everything was just right, and the stay offered excellent value for the price. Highly recommended!”

The room was very basic for an overnight stay. Staff were quite unhelpful on phones during check in. One even shut the window as we walked up and asking to get to our luggage was a pain. The bed was hard as a rock and covered in mysterious black hair. The showerhead was broken and flooded the bathroom. The location is a 15ish minute walk to the central area with a large shopping centre just down the street

It a nice, clean hostel in a convenient location. But if was too hot due to still working radiators without an option to turn them off, opened window is not really an option, bacause you will be bothered by the loud trams.

The staff were incredibly welcoming, and I felt relaxed from the moment I arrived. The room was spotless and well-equipped, with a beautiful view from the window. Breakfast offered a great variety of dishes, making my stay truly satisfying and enjoyable.

I stayed for one night. The room and bathroom were very clean and comfortable.

It was super nice that they let me check in early. I got there by noon, but they let me in.  it was OK, the curtain is not really doing his job, but for its price I find it very acceptable. The kitchen is cute, don’t really have a wine opener, but the facility is decent enough. I only saw one shower and two toilet to share for the entire floor, but surprisingly was never a queue, rather decent.

Our stay here was mixed at best. We loved the location and felt the beds were comfy but the other guests at the hostel were a bit inconsiderate when we stayed and there is an opportunity to improve service and amenities. We checked in late at the bar but the bartender was more keen on selling beer and we stood in line at the bar counter for about 10 minutes before he acknowledged us and while locals cut in the line in front of us. It took another 10 minutes for him to hand us the paperwork to check in. I was kind of disappointed because I filled in a pre check in before coming to Prague and the check in paperwork was asking for the details I had filled out online from their online check in sent over email. The bar is not a reception and it clearly says that in the communication sent but it would be nice to have the towels in our room so we could at least shower after a late check in. We booked a private room with two twin beds and it was nice enough. It was one of the cheapest options in the city we could do when staying in Prague for New Year's Eve. The room had a couple of chairs and a couple of tables/desks. The wifi was decent and there were a number of plugins throughout the room which was nice. The beds and pillows were comfy and heat is provided through a radiator. There was one quilt for each bed which was enough for me but my wife was very cold and it is chilly in December. There are extra blankets at reception but that was closed so my wife wore her warm clothes to bed and used my sweater as a blanket. I would suggest in the winter months or for guests with late check in that they provide blankets and towels in the room for guests. The toilets and bathrooms are shared. There were two toilets in our area labelled as room 1 and room 2 and it is unclear if the hostel had the intention that room 1 toilet be used by room 1 guests but both were left open and were mostly available during our stay. There was one shower on our floor and and it had a large towel warmer and some body wash/shampoo dispenser. We would recommend bringing your own bath products and some flip flops while staying here. The boys renting the other room came in around 2:30 am and were not respectful of the quiet hours set between 23:00-6:00. The walls and doors here are pretty thin within the flat and the noise comes through easily. They used both toilets, peed on the seats and left them unflushed on more than one occasion during our stay. I had to go out to use the toilet our first night and that's when they said "I don't think we are alone" and went into their room to keep talking. They came back drunk and loud each night during our stay but not as loud as the first night at least. They also may not have realized (or didn't care) that the shower room was shared and left their towels, toiletries and even their underwear on the towel rack during our stay. This group really took away our enjoyment of this property during our stay but otherwise it is a decent hostel in a good location. At least this group kept the kitchen clean and washed their own dishes. There was a common area in our flat which had a kitchen and an exercise machine. The kitchen had a table with seating for four and enough cutlery and dishes to go around. It had a cooking stove/hob, fridge and kettle. They provide dish soap and cleaning cloths/sponges too. Reception is open between 8 am and 10 am so we got the extra blankets my wife needed and towels for showering. The staff at reception were helpful and efficient during our stay. The daily cleaning was nice and the cleaning lady was very thorough with the flooring in the common area which was appreciated. You can also borrow hair dryers from here if needed to. They do collect a deposit for items borrowed like the keys but they didn't collect a deposit for the towels or blankets despite signage saying that they do. The location of the hostel was fantastic. It was a short walk to major attractions in Prague like Charles Bridge an

Good location and safe to keep luggages. Price is perfectly good

Not to bad a place to rest your head but no real common area or social aspect.
