Personal comments
The student dormitories are the cheapest possibility to live in Prague. It is nothing special, but one gets everything what is necessary for living. Internet, kitchen, bathroom is included in the small appartments, which are shared by 4 persons. The houses look like typical architecture from the comunism period, but for the price charged it is more than ok.
