Great location, mini kitchen, old building charm
The top floor gets very hot and is not the most suitable for tall individuals, water barely trickled out on top floor as well

Location. Cosy
The room was not very clean. Lots of cobwebs on Feb ceiling attracting insects. Could be felt in the night when sleeping.

Poor
​I recently stayed at Hostel Merlin in Český Krumlov and, unfortunately, had a mixed experience that leaned heavily toward the negative. While the hostel has potential, there are several significant issues regarding cleanliness and comfort that potential guests should be aware of. Perfect Location: You truly cannot beat the location. It is perfectly situated to explore the beauty of Český Krumlov, which is the main reason we chose to stay here. ​Sense of Security: Despite the other issues, I felt the property was safe enough for a stay.
Cleanliness: This was the biggest disappointment. The shower was dirty, and the lavatory floor was noticeably unhygienic. Because of the state of the shared facilities, we didn't feel comfortable using the kitchen area at all. ​Comfort & Environment: We stayed at the end of June, and the heat in the room was absolutely awful. To make matters worse, the noise levels were quite high, making it very difficult to get a good night's sleep. ​Safety & Accessibility: The stairs leading from the ground floor to the first floor were dangerously dark, which made moving around the building at night quite stressful. ​Room Facilities: As someone who is 168cm tall, I found the mirror placement to be incredibly impractical—it was hung so high on the wall that I could only see my eyebrows.

The hostel is in a very cool old building, and still had everything you would want, like a kitchen, single-occupancy bathrooms, and a cosy room.

Great location. Nice host. Cheap
I got what I paid for. This was the cheapest place I could find in the town and so I had low expectations. Even then, my room ended up to be in the attic and there’s limited space to stand up straight (I’m a short female on average), that’s a bit surprising.

Lovely building with lots of charm and a beautiful balcony right on the water. Staff were really kind and we were able to check in early. Would recommend!

Originally we bookend hostel Merlin, but staff offered us a private room in Pansion Merlin, that was few minute walk away, but still right next to main Old Town. Pansion looked very cute, with backyard and terrace, room was big enough for two with private shower and wc.
The only minus was the kitchen - the electric stove warms up very slow and pans were used so much, we coocked dinner for an hour to get something warm. That was the only issue.

The room is cleaned everyday, the staff is friendly, do note that if you wanna leave your luggage before checking in you can drop the owner a message, it’s located in the middle of the town, by a river, extremely worthy
