The cheap price is the only redeeming aspect of this hostel. A sleeping bag on the floor would be much more comfortable than the two-inch foam sheets they use for mattresses, adorned with sheets made out of a paper/plastic blend similar to the material of a hospital gown. The carpets are stained, the furniture threatens to collapse at any moment, and the doors to the bathroom and shower don't close properly or quietly.
Though the A1 Hostel is convenient to the Palmovka metro station, the neighborhood is full of hernas and all-night bars: good indicators that it may not be safe after dark. This is a questionable enough part of town that this hostel is not recommended, for safety reasons alone, to all-female groups.
To find A1 Hostel, take the metro to the Palmovka station. Walk two blocks uphill to Sokolovska street, turn left onto it, and the hostel will be on your right in another couple blocks.
