“Where should I start!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 April 2011

I'm not necessarily talking about the hostel itself but things that are and could be related to it. Firstly Beta Pension is located at a rather odd place, it's not difficult getting to and from (if you take the tram not the train) but it's not city centre either. I walked back there at night once, not due to the lack of transport, and some areas felt slightly shady.

The hostel itself is very good, the room was massive and the service was friendly. I myself loved how the place was rather sedate but one of the main problems was the noise. This would be fine with the windows closed but when open you hear all the noise from the motorway close by. And as there is no air con it's impossible not to open the window on a hot day.

Cleanliness is something I can't really comment for sure. Whilst I thought it was fine I did catch chickenpox at Prague, one possible culprit being the hostel.

There are a few newsagents around and slightly further there's a Lidl, not really sure if there are any restaurants around though.

Overall I would recommend Beta Pension on a budget but I would look at other options as well.

“Simple accomodation, clean rooms, and friendly staff”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 April 2011

We stayed here for the weekend to run the Prague 1/2 Marathon. The location is pretty good. Ten minutes into town by tram.

The showers are clean and the beds made every day. The views from the window are not too great. But who cares? It was only a bed we needed.

Breakfast is included. It's very basic. I wouldn't bother trying the coffee. It's pretty dodgy.

The staff were very nice, and the man who showed us around was very informative.

I would recommend to stay here if your looking for something basic. You might find something better closer to town for a cheaper price. But I was happy to pay this amount for my first visit to Prague. 3 nights was 90 euro. Booked via the YHA hostel website.

“Smell of stale smoke spoiled my stay”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 November 2010

I chose this as a cheap option while visiting Prague for a conference recently. I was perfectly located next to the conference centre and very convenient to the metro station. However, I personally really don't like rooms that smell of cigarette smoke and this place smelled very strongly of the same. I did ask for another room on my arrival, but I was told they would all be the same. Consequently, an otherwise good budget option gets only two stars from me.

“Economical, clean, friendly”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 December 2008

An agreable place to stay at a very low cost. Rooms are
basic and simple, but the furniture is modern, and the cleaning lady is doing an excellent job. The staff is friendly and informative. Security is good, you will leave your key
when going out, and every guest is checked. Breakfast
is not luxurious, but at this price you can´t complain, and
there is a choice, after all. Bring some fruit or meat yourself,
or use the money you have saved later in one of Pragues excellent cafés. There is an inexpensive LIDL supermarket on the Jaromirova/Na slupi street, which, when continued along the Vysehradska street, is the shortest way to walk to the centre.
Not that public transport isn´t cheap, but you may want to do some exercise because of Pragues tempting eating possibilities !
A very nice walk near Beta goes up to the Vysehrad Castle hill, where there is plenty to see and good views.

Beta is situated at the bottom of a ravine, next to the pillars of a tall motorway bridge which spans the ravine, but the neighbourhood is not unattractive. If you arrive via the Metro Vysehrad station, which is situated high up on the hill, simply walk down the pedestrian steps and cross the small railway, in-stead of walking along the roads.

“great breakfast = great fun”

people found this review helpful

Budget student backpacking, excellent place to stay would highly recommend, it is a little out of town but we enjoy the walk each morning. It is alot cheaper around this hostel so you will save money when eating out.
The breakfast was amazing, filled you up for the day.

If you are on a tight budget i would say stay here, rooms are clean , warm and spacious.

Stayed April 2006
