Lonely Planet Review

Quotes Set in the heart of Žižkov's pub district, the Clown & Bard is a full-on party place - don't come here looking for peace and quiet. This ever-popular hostel has a cafe, a bar (with regular guest DJ nights), friendly, knowledgeable staff and good tours. As well as dorms and doubles, there are six-person self-catering flats in the attic.

The boisterous band of international backpackers gravitate towards the thumping basement bar which stays open till midnight and features regular live acts and DJ nights. Rooms are fairly basic, but very clean and perfectly comfortable. The self-catering flat is perfect for those travelling in larger groups, and comes with a modern, fully fitted kitchen and bathroom, offering a fair degree of seclusion and independence. The generous all-you-can-eat buffet breakfast (at an extra charge) will certainly set you up for the day, and if you've imbibed a touch too much in the bar the previous night, you'll be pleased to know that all the cereals, cheese, fruit, bread rolls and the rest are available 'til 13:00.

Author Tip

You're in the middle of the scruffy suburb of Žižkov here. It's not the prettiest spot in Prague, but the place is full of charming pubs and clubs. A 10-minute walk to the south will bring you to the classier surrounds of Vinohrady, with its excellent restaurants, while around 15min west is the main train station, and just beyond that, Wenceslas Sq and the city centre.
