In the early part of 2007 a group of great friends from Prague were traveling around Europe. We were talking about all of the travel experiences we have had, the things that made one experience better than the other. We finished that conversation knowing what we had to do… we had to open our own hostel. We had to have a place that would combine all of the great things about several places into one amazing place. Somewhere people would visit and feel so welcome, like they were with old friends, that they would come back again and again.
The plan was set, but making it a reality wasn’t easy. With only a great group of people around us and a lot of enthusiasm we worked to open The Charles Bridge Economic Hostel from scratch in 2009. Over the years we have worked hard to make sure each guest has a fantastic experience and we have grown the hostel into something we are really proud of. We have put our lives into giving people a home away from home, into making friends from all over the world.
Friends, the current Covid situation has been really hard on the hostel. A place once full of laughter and life is now very quiet. We all work for free for the last 6 months, we do not have the additional financial resources to continue this way for much longer. That is why we turn to our friends and good people, from far and wide, to ask for help in these difficult times. We would be so thankful for any amount you would be willing to donate to help us hang on until we can all be together laughing and having fun again.
We look forward to welcoming you here again, we miss you so much!!!
