Pension 44 - Prague, Czech Republic     

I stayed there for four days in May 2008. The deal was very good for Prague, it included breakfast and it is located very conveniently, so if you want to save money it is basically ok. The rooms are reasonably clean (at least where it matters, bed and bathroom) and quite large, but very run down, the curtains were not really white anymore. In contrast to some of the information you might find online, there is no internet access. You should bring your own towel. The provided towel is small and very worn out and not pleasant at all. Breakfast is in a cellar pub around the corner, it is OK and includes all basic things, but is not exactly a buffet, which on the other hand is to be expected for the price. Things I found annoying were (1) the staff being extremely unfriendly, I had to wait five minutes at arrival until they even bothered to look up, though they clearly didn't have anything important to do. (2) my room facing to the east and having no light-blocking curtains, so sun on my bed from 6 am, and (3) the noise level on the street being very high from around 7 am, so I couldn't basically sleep any longer than that. If you are out to save money, it is a good choice, it's reasonably clean and includes breakfast. But if you are looking for some comfort (or sleep in the morning) I would advise you to cough up some more money, or move a little bit further away from the city centre.
