can anyone reccomend a decent, centrally located hostel in prague. This is the start of my backpacking and I'd like a place with a nice social place to meet folks. Not neccesarily a party hostel although that would be ok too. Sorry if this's been covered, I'm just in a super rush to go get some indian food.

Thanks,
Will C.

Well, I don't fully recommend the Golden Sickle - it's centrally located and decent enough, but it's not socially central - if you don't end up with cool roomies to hang out with, it's tough to meet people there.

Clown and Bard is the party place...

Traveller's Hostel is supposed to be somewhere in between.

Just remember that Prague isn't all that huge, so you'd be OK locationwise pretty much anywhere you choose.
