Penzion Eliška

Really great!!!!

Mrs. Olga was warm and helpful, and gladly answered our questions. Breakfast was tasty and there was plenty for us. The rooms are clean, simply furnished, and affordable. The guesthouse is in a lovely, peaceful part of suburban Prague, and we could get there by car or public transport. We left our car at the accommodation and enjoyed the quick transit service, then walked into the city centre like tourists.

The room and bathroom were genuinely clean, so it could do for one night on a business trip. Still, I wouldn't stay again. The whole place felt spooky, with only a bedside lamp in the room and a dark corridor leading to it. The furniture was basic: a bed, wardrobe, and old table and chairs that looked like they were from the late 1980s. The bathroom had a bit of a hostel feel. It seemed like a guesthouse from the 1990s that time had left behind, ivy covering the facade and the interior looking just as overgrown. Booking was hectic, and the woman on the phone seemed really odd. On arrival, I had to push through bushes to reach the entrance, where a yellowed notice said the doorbell was broken. After I called, an older woman with a slightly horror-movie expression opened up and guided me down the dim hallway.

Mrs. Olga was a very nice host. The rooms were clean, and it was a lovely surprise that she asked what time she should bring breakfast, which was included in the accommodation price. I paid about €30 a day for one person. The bus stop is a five-minute walk away, and the bus takes about 20 minutes to reach the centre.
