Is it possible to choose a lower/upper bunk?
We always do our best to accommodate bunk bed preferences. While we can’t guarantee it in advance, as it depends on availability and our housekeeping schedule, we’ll note your preference on your reservation and do our best to assign you a lower bunk.
How to get to the hostel from the Airport/Main Train Station?
To get to Luma Terra from the airport, you have two main options:
1. Uber (Official Taxi Provider)
The only official taxi service at the airport is Uber. You can book a ride directly through the app and catch it from the designated pick-up area outside the terminal. Please be cautious of taxi scams and use only Uber, as it's the authorized provider. The ride to our hostel should cost no more than 800 CZK (approximately 32 €).
2. Public Transportation
For a more budget-friendly option, you can take public transport. You’ll need a 90-minute ticket, which costs 50 CZK and can be purchased at the stop right in front of the airport. Please ensure that you validate (stamp) the ticket when boarding the bus, as it's not valid without stamping. You do not need to re-stamp it for the metro - just keep the original ticket with you.
Here’s the route:
Take Bus 59 from the airport to "Nádraží Veleslavín"
Transfer to Metro Line A and ride to "Muzeum"
From there, you can either:
- Walk about 10 minutes to the hostel
- Or switch to Metro Line C for one more stop to "I. P. Pavlova", which is just a 2-minute walk from us
