Hostel 99 is a great hostel situated right in the old walls of the medieval city of Cesky Krumlov. The building is in very good condition, and is colorful, warm, and friendly. The staff is also friendly and kind. The room we stayed in was not in the main building, but is also in the old walls, and very nice, although the bathroom there is less than stellar -- institutional at best.
The common areas are really great, although a little bit small (at least the inside areas). There is internet access, laundry, a quaint and cute blue kitchen, and a TV room with a DVD collection (most with Czech subtitles). There is a nice patio out front that overlooks the old city, and where a free keg of beer is served on Wednesdays. There is also a good international-style restaurant that is part of the hostel, though separate.
The overall atmosphere is hospitable and friendly, though we find it a bit impersonal (it may vary depending on the guests there during your stay). Being in the old walls of the city is really a highlight, though, and the views make it well worth it. It is also situated within spitting distance of the bus stop that leads out of the city (though be careful not to ride the bus too far on the way in or you will wind up further down at the bus depot). We definitely recommend it overall.
