Judging from a map showing the proximity to the tram station, we were expecting a bit of noise. This, however, was not the case at all. The room was extremely quiet, even during the daytime, much to our pleasant surprise. The rooms were large enough and the beds surprisingly spacious and comfortable (and we're picky). Breakfast was basic but plentiful... more

The hotel is situated next to Wenceslas square, too close to central railway station. You can hear (a little) trains in early morning. The room size is O.K. and the mattress is too comfortable. The staff is very friendly and helpfully. The breakfast was the same all three days of our stay - the same one sort of cheese, one... more

My husband and I stayed at Pension Balbin because it was across the street from the flat where my sister lives. On our own, we may have preferred to stay in a more central location to the tourist sites. However, we did walk everywhere and occasionally took the metro or the tram. We were within three blocks of the National... more

We walked past the hotel at first as it occupies the top floor of a rather dull building. The rooms are modern, spacious and cheap as chips. The breakfast is an eat as much as you like buffet of cold meats, cereal, fruit, yoghurt etc. Oh, Wenceslas square is not a square at all but just a street with shops... more

It is a real old style Prague building and it definitely gives you a feel of what Prague used to be like. The pension is... more

I was extremely pleased with the Balbin, especially so as it was recommended to me and my friends by a travel agency in Prague. The rooms were spotlessly clean, neat and large; especially the four-bed room which can easily fit the stated number of people even if they bring an excess of baggage with them! The staff were very helpful... more

Quiet hotel near to Wenceslas Square. The room was not very large, but neither was the price! Breakfast was included, and there was a private shower and toilet. The staff were quiet but helpful. more

If you're looking for a nice hotel in the centre of Prague, then I would definately reccomend this one. There was not one thing that I could fault, the rooms are nice and spacious and really clean. The breakfast was lovely and you can choose from lots of different things. If you're on a budget and want to stay somewhere... more

The rooms are clean with bathroom and skylights. The staff is helpful and the buffet breakfast is very good. It is a small penzion so very initimate.... more
