Pension Hanspaulka — Hotel in Prague

😊: It is in a decent very quiet, residential location with a bus stop just 5 minutes walk away and runs every 10 minutes to the metro. There is also a pub and a (very good) restaurant within 5 minutes (opposite the bus stop). A woman (maybe is the owner) lives in the property and is friendly, but it is best is to communicate with her son if you need any assistance with booking queries. Although he does not live in the property, in fact lives on the other side of Czech, he is helpful. TIP Make sure you get a metro ticket when you arrive at the airport or if by car find somewhere on the way to the property. . There is nowhere local to do this. TIP Take the metro to Malostranske. Then get a metro (one stop) to Maleostanske namesta. Namesti is square. There you will find is a lovely area with restaurants, nice church Svatek Tomas (we were married there), Hotel U Schnellu does great Czech cuisine (we had our reception there in 2009 and the food is still great). You can also walk from the square to Charles Bridge (only 500 meteres away), St Vitis cathedral, Prague Castle. 😢: On the advert it says private parking. However, you have to pay to use it, and the cost for three nights is 600 CKZ. That is £20.00+ This was a totally unexpected charge, and we booked this accommodation on the basis of the charge on your site. Ref. 5052669590. Accommodation payment is cash only on arrival. There is no cash point anywhere near the accommodation. So, this needs to be made very clear on the advert quickly. Fortunately, we came by car and had enough cash. But the accommodation plus car park was 5,000 CKZ (almost £200!). Imagine if someone came by public transport and did not have that amount of cash. They would have to walk all the way back to the nearest place with a cash point at least 20 minutes. At a 30 degrees centigrade heatwave, to travel all the way to the accommodation and then have to go out again to a cash point then return back again to the accommodation to pay and after then travel out for the evening. Quite exhausting and time wasting! It was surprising that only soap was provided, no shower gel or shampoo is provided. There are no glasses, kettle, or coffee/tea in the room either, so if you are thirsty bring a bottle. When you brush your teeth, you will need to put water in your hand to do so (!). It is hard to fathom why no plastic cups can be provided. The towels in the room were dry but had the awful smell of damp i.e. not dried quickly enough, so when you use them, it is like putting a small on your body. Fortunately, we had our own. For this price you would expect these as standard No directions are given to the nearest bar or restaurant . Similarly, no directions to the nearest bus stop or tram. Or even church. It is very simple to document this and would be...

The location is good if you want to be out of town. The accommodation is fair; but we didn't feel part of the family. as the booklet in the room said. We didn't reserve a breakfast, and there were no tea/coffee facilities in the room, yet it wasn't made clear that we could use the kitchen ourselves, until we found it and asked. There were no shops, cafés or restaurants local, you'd have had to get the bus. Carrying 2 mugs of coffee up 2 flights of stairs, I was "caught" spilling some on the floor, and subsequently always felt that the lady was paranoid about us messing up the...

The pension is in Hanspaulka, which is a little outside of the main center of Prague. But it is a quick bus/train ride away from the city and easily accessible. It is a very quiet neighborhood which can be nice from the craziness of Prague. My room was at the top, so there were many stairs, but I was fine with it. Tomas, one of the owners, waited for me to arrive even though my bus was an hour late (that's a different story). He was also very helpful with tips...
