Flexible English speaking staff. 24hr desk (most places in this price range do not offer this.) Good included breakfast. Fair euro:crown exchange rate. Elevator tiny and jumpy - better to walk the 4 flights but tough with luggage. Cheap minibar/refreshments. Great location.

It is a three star pension but it is great. We stayed in a triple bedroom. It is 5 to 10 minutes walk from city center. Very clean, wifi included, a good breakfast and 24 hours reception. Everyone lovely. If I return to Prague surely will try to stay here again.

Everything was great for this place. Location, price, staff... All good. But every night I was in bed I woke up with bites on my arm and legs... I showed the staff and they moved my room. But I never saw them remove the old rooms mattress, so they didn't take my complaint seriously

With this said, the hotel is nice, but not "disabled friendly." There is a flight... More

Situated in a quiet, residential street with the museum metro stop a 5 minute walk away, the main station a 10 minute walk (slightly hair-raising due to a narrow pavement next... More

The hotel manager is very helpful - she told us about best places for sightseeing and affordable places to eat, gave recommendations on public transport and settled us in our room without problems. The staff speaks English well. The hotel is easy to reach from the main train station (10min walk), is near Opera, National Museum, is in a quiet... More

After emailling the hotel manager, and confirming and booking a stay (and paying ahead), I was lured by the promise of a free airport / train station pick up and transfer.
