Hostel V38 Prague is a hostel at number 38 Vodičkova street, about a 5-minute walk from Wenceslas Square. It has a common lounge and a shared kitchen, and offers massages. It works well if you travel on your own, like to meet other travellers and want to get around the centre without transport.

Masarykovo nádraží railway station and the Jewish Quarter are about 15 minutes away, and Charles Bridge about 20.
From here you can walk across to Lesser Town (Malá Strana) in about half an hour, or go up to Prague Castle in about 35 minutes if you feel like a walk.
