Hostel Skippy

Český Krumlov


This riverside hostel is about 15 minutes' walk south of the historic centre. The owners are a musician and artist and the hostel has a relaxed, indie vibe. Unlike some places with racks of bunks, Skippy is more like hanging out at a friend's place. It's small, so you'll need to book ahead.
