We had a great time working at the hostel. We bonded with amazing volunteers from all over the world and the staff has been super nice and helpful with everything. The location is perfect and central, the work is good even if the shifts are long to be a volunteer job (and with lots of responsibility, especially the night shifts). Anyway, I learned a lot and I am satisfied with the experience. The only downside is the accommodation since I think is not suitable to host couples and definitely could be improved (maybe the volunteers could share a flat all together).

The first day I got there, the wanted me to work, when usually you have at least 1 day off to get used. I arrived there at 8am and I was supposed to work at 1pm, I had to ask them not to work cause I was so tired form the flight and everything. I had to change room 3 times during my stay, I didn't have a stable place to sleep, that was annoying cause I had to pack my stuff all the time. The work is hard, you have to learn a lot of things as is not just a hostel is also an information point so everyone can get in and ask you about the city. They didn't respect my schedule as I worked a lot.

Hi Ivan. You were such disappointment to us. First of all, the first day is orientation training, that lasts max 2 hours. On the training we explain basic things how the hostel works. The real work start on scheduled day.
The work is 6 hours a day as agreed and we NEVER make anyone work more. If a volunteer wants to work more, then it's a paid job and we never force anyone to do that.

Even this is subjective thing, I don't think the work is hard. You stay at the reception with senior colleague and help us.

Yes, there is a lot of things to learn but all of us are always happy to help and we keep repeating until you handle the task. Everyone before and after you handled all the works perfectly.

What I really don't find fair is that you disappeared without saying anyone anything. But never mind, I wish you all good and I hope you found more satisfying works on your travel :-)

Awesome experience. The hostel has amazing staffs and overall 'feel-good' vibes around. Task schedule and type are quite flexible depending on your preference. Despite that, I seemed to struggle quite a bit with cleaning as the expectation appeared to gradually build up over time (this in fact varies with who you work with). I believe a clearer system in place may alleviate some misunderstandings especially on the specific cleaning responsibilities. Other than that, super highly recommend this experience. Be sure to take advantage of some free tours offered to volunteers!

It was a great experience! Prague is truly an amazing city with sooo much to see and do, and being at the hostel really helps to learn the city fast. The location is also great and is super close to everything. The work was easy and the hours were respectable, all of the people you work next to are super friendly and patient. I met so many incredible people from so many different places throughout the time I spent there I'll miss it! Thank you for everything :))

I loved the time I spent in Prague and at the hostel. It was such an eye-opening experience and a great way to meet people from all over the world. The location couldn't be better, and is super close to everything. The work for the most part was easy. It might take a few shifts to get used to everything, but there was always other workers on with you who could help. Jerry was a fantastic host, and it was nice that he was flexible with the schedules. The other staff - Tereza, Michael, Anna, Ivan and Helca were a joy to work with too. I'll miss everyone I met!

It's been my first time volunteering and it made me want to repeat! Workers and volunteers were cheerful and helping, the work easy and being in a reception allowed to meet people all the time. Surely a place I'd recommend :) Regarding what can be improved, I think volunteers should share a room : it'd help the new ones to adapt. However, I enjoyed sharing room with interesting guests. What I enjoyed less was sleeping for 2 weeks in the luggage room with another volunteer, where strangers entered and woke us up. Apart from this, to sum up, nice and recommendable experience!

Do it! Prague is an amazing city and by helping at the tourist information you'll learn a lot about it really quickly. The hostel is clean, cozy and the location is perfect. Work felt a bit overwhelming sometimes when we had to solve many problems by ourselves but the hours were respected and everyone was super helpful. We also got to use the e-bikes and go on the city tours for free! I had such a fun time with the employees, guests and other volunteers who made Prague feel like home. Thanks a lot for making my first experience something I'll remember forever! Would love to come back soon!<3

This experience was amazing, I absolutely loved it! Prague is an incredible city and the hostel is in the best location. I was able to walk everywhere I wanted to go and there's lots of restaurants nearby! The staff is great and they gave me lots of recommendations and help when I needed it. I learned a ton and really felt like I had an authentic experience. I would highly recommend this opportunity to other volunteers! I am so sad to be leaving ❤️

Where do I start?! This was an amazing first experience for me travelling Europe. Everyone was super nice and welcoming and the work was exiting and stimulating also. I mainly worked on reception and I got the opportunity to meet some amazing travellers and locals and learn a bunch of new things 10/10 recommend. Thank you guys!

Being at the hostel was a really nice experience. I am really thankful to have known such amazing people there. Tereza, Michael, Jerry, Ana and Tamara are really kind people and I recommend this hostel to everyone who want a successful volunteering experience. It is hard to leave it after so many days together. I wish all the success to the hostel everyone who works there.
