Lonely Planet Review
This exemplary smoke-free hostel has the brightest facade on the street. It's recently been spruced up inside and out and is planning further development of facilities. Very accommodating staff can provide info on the neighbourhood and Prague in general.
Located north of the river in the suburb of Holešovice, Sir Toby's may seem a little out of the way, but it makes a good base for discovering this less-visited section of the city, and there are excellent local transport links. The dorms have between four and eight bunks, and the bigger dorms are probably the cheapest in Prague. The private rooms, meanwhile, are fitted with metal-framed single beds. All rooms are light, clean and spacious, but don't expect anything fancy. The mattresses are a little on the thin side, too, but all sheets and blankets are provided at no extra cost. There's a communal kitchen for self-caterers to do their thing, a lounge and a relaxing little garden where you can sit back and chat with the sociable crowd of international travellers who call Sir Toby's their temporary home.

Author Tip
Sir Toby's is a pleasant enough place to hang out in, but there's not much worth writing home about in this rather drab neighbourhood. There are plenty of pubs and cafes, and a few shops nearby. The Fairgrounds, home to the Lapidárium sculpture museum and Sea World aquarium, and the vast greenness of Stromovka park are a good 15-20min westwards. Mecca nightclub is 5min north.
