Poets' Corner Hostel recommended by;
Lonely Planet:
"Aussie owners Greg and Francie are a wealth of local information at this friendly and well-run hostel. Bicycles can be hired for 100Kč per day. In summer, there's a two-night minimum stay, But Olomouc is definitely worth it".
Rick Steves:
"Poets Corner Hostel fills two 1930's apartments near the town center. Tastefully furnished, immaculately clean, and run by a friendly Australian couple, Greg and Francie, the hostel fits in perfectly with Olomouc's character as a university town and ultimate back-door destination for the Czech Republic. The common room has sofas, armchairs, a decent library, Czech CD's - and no TV - and holds a wealth of information on Olomouc and the surrounding area".
Trip Advisor:
"#1 Specialty lodging in Olomouc".

"Welcoming, superbly central hostel run by people who know their stuff when it comes to travel in Moravia. It's spread over two floors of an apartment building, with eight-bunk dorms plus doubles and triples with homely old furniture. There's a spacious kitchen, cosy living room, and wi-fi throughout".
