89%Shelter Pension

There's no reception, so be sure to state the time of your arrival. The owners are very nice and helpful. Rooms are very big and clean. Only major drawback was that we couldn't get the hot water in the shower to work. If you book a room there, be sure to ask the owner how to make it work.

Vladimir is very nice and accomodating. He gave us a map the first day and gave a good overview of what the town was like. Downsides? Probably none (although light sleepers might be bothered with some noise from the ground floor restaurants/bars for awhile at night)close

Very good place. From a hostel, it's just the price, because it's way better. Very big room, own shower and restroom. Really enjoyed and would certainly go there again.

we have a great time there, it made our Czech trip be a happier one! The host is so good to guide us the place in Prague and the room is very clean. Good location with metro system and near Mustek. We can have our own key for room. Anyway, we recommend it to the friends to Prague.

very spacious room, within walking distance of the sites, lots of food choices close by the Restaurant on the corner was great as was Buffalo Bills just across the street. Basic but comfortable :)

Very clean accomodation. It was great to have a kitchen and internet available at all times of the day. The location can't be beat either, with the hostel only two blocks from Wenschelas Square.

It is perfect for the person who knows Prague well before come, because you can not easily find the reception to get immediately travel information. Besides this, everything is good.

We enjoyed our stay thoroughly. It was a good location and the owner was incredibly helpful and friendly. Overall it was a great stay, though I would like suggest offering a complete set of sheets, instead of just the bottom sheet.

Very nice hostel in an excellent location. Clean and spacious rooms -- just bring your own towels and toiletries. Friendly couple runs the place. Would reccomend for a group of 3-5 and couples, possibly families. An excellent choice, we were very satisfied. Free internet, too!

We stayed in the double room with ensuite. The room was huge and very clean. The lady running the hostel went out of her way to accomodate us, even lending us a guide book on Prague. There are lots of great bars close by. All in all a good place to stay.

The owner gave us a warm greeting, and filled us with lots of usefull information. The beds were comfortable and warm. The rooms were huge and very clean. My neice never wanted to leave. Proably the only down side was there was only one bathroom, with the toilet and shower together so sharing with two other rooms was sometimes a problem (if someone decided to take a long shower there was no other option but to wait and wait and wait).close

We were in low season, but we were the only guests staying at the pension... very quiet. Although, good location, free internet and very equip kitchen.close

We found it to be a wonderful hostel right in the centre,it really is only 5 mins away from the main square. We had a double private room with private bathroom, the room was huge with a seperate toilet and shower,the bed has proper duvets and the room is warm and very clean. The couple who run the hostel are friendly and helpful, it is more like renting an apartment than staying in a hostel as the couple who own it dont stay there they live outside the city. Its a very quiet area but there are 3 restaurants on the same street and all look good quality,we ate in one and its was excellant and very good value for money. The hostel itself has a large kitchen with good cooking facilities and they provide decent sized towels to use. The hostel and bathrooms are cleaned daily.I would recommend this hostel for any age group but particually for couples and perhaps anyone considering taking children with them.close

This hostel is fantastic. The location is ideal (a block away from Wenceslas Square) and the couple who own the place are very sweet. Working shower and bathroom, even a clean kitchen, usable fridge, and internet. I highly reccomend it.
