“Very good value indeed”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 April 2007
4
people found this review helpful

Me and my girlfirend stayed here for 5 nights at the end of March 2007. The Hotel has been upgraded within the past couple of years from 1 star to 3 stars and although the room was basic, it was a decent size, clean and overall perfectly acceptable.

The Hotel is located centrally a short stroll from Wenceslas square, within walking distance of the old town square and a pleasent afternoon stroll away from Charles bridge and the castle (or you can get the tram).

The Hotel staff were great, no problems at all. They were even happy to pose for a picture for another guest upon her checkout, as well as
arranging a cheap taxi back to the airport for us when we left.

Although we paid for breakfast we didn't bother with it any of the days we were there so I can't comment on this.

The Hotel section of the building is completely separate to the Hostel section; if this kind of thing concerns you there's no need to worry! We alse tried the attached restaurant "Pasta E Basta" on our first night and it was pretty poor. However, with the abudance of great bars and restaurants in the area there's no need to visit it really.

We paid £218 between the two of us for 5 nights including breakfast through Hotelopia, which for a 3 star hotel in central Prague is very good value indeed.

No complaints at all, would definitely stay again.

“Good and Bad points”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 July 2006
6
people found this review helpful

We stayed in the HOSTEL part, not the hotel part.
Advantages:
-great location (10 mins walk from Old Town Square)
-cheap (second cheapest place in prague we found for private double room)
-friendly staff (the reception woman even told us not to use their internet, as it's cheaper elsewhere)
-breakfast included (although it's of course not gourmet food)
Disadvantages:
-only two showers for our floor (one male, one female). We knew we'd have to share, but there were about 10 rooms on our floor, and at least three were 4-6 bed dorms. Assuming rest were doubles, that's still 2 showers for around 26-30 people. still, I had to wait only for about 5 minutes each time
-very basic feel to the facilities – this is not a pristine modern hostel
-no elevator (only three or four floors though)
-very basic small room (two beds, two bedside tables, one desk, small room)
Didn't try:
-"bowling bar"

“Good clean Hotel”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 June 2005

people found this review helpful

I stayed at this hotel with my 3 friends, in June, the Hotel is basic but very clean, there are two sides to this complex a Hotel and a Hostel, the Hotel is good, not sure about the Hostel. Our room was cleaned everyday and the towles changed daily, even is we were not up the maid left the clean towles outside our room. The location of the Hotel is brilliant just 5 mins from most tourist spots.

Overall you only get what you pay for.... this Hotel is clean basic and very well located. Oh yes the breakfast does contain random meats!!!!!!

I would reccommend this Hotel, and I will be staying there again.

“Are you Irish?”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 January 2005

people found this review helpful

Breakfast - If you like random meats and floppy cheese you will be very happy. Other than that... TGI Fridays for breakfast and cocktails.

Rooms - Basic doesnt quite cover it. Metal frame prison beds.

Stairs - Far to many. HELL.

Showers - No locks, moldy with a material door.

Toilets - No locks, smell carrys very far

Windows - break far too easily.

Other comments - if you make a noise they call armed cops to come and shout abuse at you, and presume your Irish.

Full of Swiss and Germans.
