Cancel 48h before arrival.

In case of a late cancellation you will be charged the first night of your stay. For No Show you will be charged the entire cost, sorry bro.

Definitely not. Even though we all love to have a great time, there's no shooters or neon face paint in sight. 

We are just over a two hour train ride away, or 3 hours by car.

Easy as.

By train: from Prague airport to the city centre: Catch the AE Airport Transfer bus to the train station (30 mins and 60CZK). We recommend taking the train to Olomouc from there and using LEO Express or Regio Jet trains (2.5 hours from around 130CZK).

You must pay before you ride. Don't get caught dodging the fare! Those inspectors guys show no mercy and will lock you up.

Pay 18CZK from the yellow machine to get your ticket and then jump on the number 2, 3, 4 or 6 in the direction of city centre - it takes 4 minutes. Take the tram from the tram stop on the same side as the station. Make sure you stamp the ticket in the yellow box on the tram.

From the main bus station take tram number 4.

Get off at the stop called U Dómu “Oo Dooh Moo”. Walk 20 meters in direction of the tram, you’ll then see our sign on the right hand side of the street. Take the right turn and walk down the road to us. Bingo!

Say: Hello “Dobre den” to your driver

Ask for: Long Story Short hostel Koželužská “Koe zyeh loosh ska”.

Pay: 80CZK from the train station to us.

Say: Thanks, bye “Dickie chow”. Smile and wave.

You can park with us, but we have limited spaces, so it's first comes, first parks. If our carpark is full there’s a multi-storey car park right next to us or ask the girls at recetion who will be more than happy to tell you about other near by parking possibilities.

The access to our parking spot is from the back of the hostel, so the address you want to set up in your GPS is: Dobrovského 15, Olomouc.

It will take you to a tinny alley between a park and a set of flats, into which you will turn and arrive at our back entrance where you will see our logo and plenty space to park. Be ware, it's super tinny and easy to miss! If you have any difficulties please contact us, we'll be happy to navigate.
