This "housetel" is run by a friendly Australian named Greg. What seems to be a stark, uninviting apartment building is actually a warm and cozy environment where you will be greeted with a hello as though you live there and all your friends were inside. Upon arrival Greg sits down with you -- on the floor -- and gives you tons of helpful info before you even ask for it.
There are 4-6 bed dorms that feel like your old bedroom at home, except this one has art and poetry on the walls. There is a big kitchen and comfortable dining area. Best of all, you can learn how to pronounce Czech while sitting on the toilet (there are tutorials on the back of the door). Note that there is no sink in the WC.
Poets' Corner is full of people who came for a night and stayed for a year. Don't expect privacy, but that's okay in this super-friendly hostel with respectful guests. There is no curfew or lockout, but there is a key deposit.
Update from the owner: Since this review was made Poets' Corner has expanded into a new space. The hostel now has two bathrooms and toilets (both with individual hand basins). We also have more cozy commmon space, lockers in every room, a balcony and we still have a large well-equipped kitchen.— Recensione esclusiva Hostelz.com
