Hotel Residence Bene - Prague

9.7

Great hotel and realy nice employees.

8.3

Just as many people here have said that the outside of the hotel is horrible, we were prepared for the worst. Though the outside indeed deserves an uplift, the rooms inside are very decent. This is a budget accommodation, but the rooms have so many more things that will surprise you - tables, chairs, bread toaster, fridge, vessels, spoons etc. The breakfast was included in the cost and was excellent. The hotel is right inside the city center and we didn't need to buy a subway pass. Everything was walkable. The staff was very helpful and knew English. They let us stay for a good 4 hours after our check-out time since one of our group members fell ill. They also helped us in planning the day in the city. In all, this is a hotel definitely worth the money if you are looking for budget accommodation in the center of the city.

5.5

Perfect location! Nice, helpful and friendly staff. Heard some noise from the street at night, but not enought to lose our sleep. Good breakfast. Not quite happy with the dust and dirt in the rooms (we had 3 rooms total) when checking in, but that was taken care of immedeately when the staff were told. Yes, we could defenately stay at the Residence Bene again.

8.8

Perfect location in the heart of Stare Mesto. Lively, safe surroundings(lots of students), an interesting club and a pleasant cafe next door. 3 min walk to a tram station. Sleep undisturbed (our room was on the third floor with windows out into the nondescript courdyard), large modern bathroom with invariably hot water. Standard breakfast fare. Price a bit steep but I wouldn't expect anything cheaper in Stare Mesto. Would definitely stay here again.

9.7

Massive room with extra bed, sofa, tv, fridge and kettle! Budget but bargainous! Breakfast was fantastic and free internet in reception. Staff were really friendly and helpful and the main sqaure is only round the corner. Great transport links as well with the tram stop across the road. Fantastic!

7.4

Abbiamo avuto una buona accoglienza e disponibilità da parte del personale. Camera pulita e spaziosa. Buona prima colazione. Buonissima posizione per visitare la città : si arriva dovunque a piedi con brevi passeggiate.

8.7

We were given a suite, which was wonderful. Breakfasts were pretty good

8.7

We are a young couple travelled to Prague for holiday stayed in Residence Bene. The room we got was exceptionally large, we were surprised when we walked in the room. Even though, its a room face to the street but we didn't had problem to sleep. The location is great too,5mins you are in the old town square. Also, the free internet with computer down in the reception area is a definitely plus. The breakfast was nice as well,a good selection.The only two things I want to say is that, the towels are exceptionally hard, the color is wired too.Its not white, probable because with this color you don't really notice wthether its clean or not.Two is the curtain is too thing and not the right size for the window. I have to use my hair clip to fix the curtain at the night so that it won't be open in the middle. But,overall, I am satisified with the place.I think I don't mind return in the future.

8.9

Hotel bien situé très près du centre historique, personnel aimable, bon rapport qualité prix A recommander.

7.9

Très bon accueil.Personnel sympathique et serviable.Hotel extremement bien situé pour la visite du centre historique.La façade de l'hotel laisse perplexe mais les chambres sont spacieuses et confortables.Je vous le recommande sans hésitations.

7.9

When the taxi dropped us off at the hotel my family was surprised in a bad way, since the hotel looks very plain. The entrance is narrow and not impressive at all, but the family room was nice and spacious. Breakfast was served on the 6th floor and it was pretty good. There was construction going on very early in the morning on the street, which woke us up on weekdays. The hotel is very well located and very close to many attractions. The staff was nice and eager to help. Our overall experience ended up being good after all.

7.6

Excellent hospitality. Very comfortable location: 5 min to Stare Mesto square (Prague principal point), 3 min. to supermarket, 4 min. to metro station. All is O.K. bare for towels, they seem to be made of shark skin.

6.7

Great location. Short walk to old city center and all sites. Hotel is adequate for sleeping and the room was very large (seemed like an old apartment) but it is not well appointed and a little old. Breakfast was sparse. Cheese and ham, toasted on some bread and 2 or 3 cereals to pick from. Instant coffee only. I would try to find another hotel if a went back but I would stay again if nothing close to city center available.

9.0

Location is almost perfect, standard is good, price/value is excellent! Simple, but very nice breakfast.

7.0

It wasn't very cleaned (I founded chips under my bed!)and not very beautiful, but for that price, in the centre of Praga, what do I want?

9.2

This hotel is very central and a great price. I had a room that sleeps 3 for €35. It has no airconditioning, though, so I don't know what it would be like in the summer. Since I went in the winter, there was no problem; I found the room a little bit chilly but once you're under the blankets it's fine.

7.1

We booked a Room at the hotel but was not available so at the check in they give us an appartment in a near building where wifi was not available. Inside the main hotel buildin the wifi sistem was always not available. The position and the price are very good !

7.6

My wife, 8-year-old daughter & I stayed at the Hotel Residence Bene in late December, 2008. Pros: Very kind & helpful staff; easy walking distance to the main tourist areas and subway connections; free internet in "lobby"; reasonably good breakfast (but instant coffee - blech); great bagel place a block away. Cons: room was dirty (minimal vacuuming, glasses with gunk in the bottoms, etc. - maybe short-staffed because of the New Year?); weak heating system. In all, a very basic place , but well-priced considering the location and the city.

9.2

Stayed in a single room for 3 nights and enjoyed it a lot. Location was very convenient - although I did find it a little scary to walk back there alone at night, there is a big shopping mall nearby as well as bars, restaurants and all the popular sites. I walked to everywhere even up to the castle! I had the room next to the breakfast room and it was spacious enough with two single beds and a shower room. I was aware of their famous hard towels and brought my own so it wasn't a problem. Only minus point might be that I had to watch my head sometimes, as part of the ceiling was quite low. Breakfast buffet was much better than I had expected, lots of vegetables, ham, cheese, bread, etc. Loved the city, Czech food and Residence Bene - I would definitely stay there again.

9.9

We (10 grad students) booked 2 quads and 1 double for 2 nights. When we arrived, we were greeted by the manager, who suggested a slight modification to our reservation to 1 2-bedroom apartment and 1 quad resulting in lower price. That was a pleasant surprise. We traveled extensively in Europe and when a hotel manager suggested 'a modification' most of the time that meant we had to pay more. We really enjoyed our stay there. Both the manager and the receptionist were very helpful. The rooms were spacious and clean. The breakfast was excellent. The location could not be more central, within walking distance to everywhere. This place was a real bargain, and we definitely will come back again.

8.6

Excellent stay, really close to the main square (5 minutes walking). Employers are truly nice and helpful.Breakfast ok.

9.4

Nothing fancy about this place. But the staff was friendly, the breakfast was good, and the location superb.

7.8

Windows are old -> noisy and littlebit windy. Clearness is good, but not exellent. All other things are well good. The hospitality of personal is exellent. Only indication of trams to arrive hotel are old and wrong. But hotel is near railway and metro stations - no problem to reach it by foot.

8.6

The staff is VERY friendly specialy at the reception. Well done to the team!

9.2

The hotel is located a short 3-5 minute walk from Old Town. The rooms were very large. The staff speak English well and know the surrounding areas very well. Great stay!!! We'll stay here again if we ever get back to Prague.

9.9

Definitely this is a BEST BUY!!! We paid for a 4 people room, and they offered us an apartment with tow double room (one of them could easily receive 5-6 people). All their rooms are fully equipped apartments (microwave oven, cook top, dishes and everything else) and they offer breakfast too. All employees were very friendly and able to provide all kind of information regarding the city. Besides, the location couldn't be more central. It was pretty much easy to get anywhere. It was also available tow computers with internet access free of charge. I would definitely back to this hotel when in Prague next time!

9.6

Our room was very large, clean, updated and quiet. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They even sold us tickets for the tram and subway. The location was very safe and it was just a short walk from the old town square. The breakfasts were excellent with a wide variety of foods.

9.0

Great location and great value for money. Clear and easy directions to reach the location by car. We arrived at midnight and the reception staff received us with a nice smile :) and speaking fluent English. They helped as with the parking and offered help with the luggage. Breakfast was vast and fresh. Location was the best and really nice restaurants nearby. I definitely will recommend Residence Bene for everyone thinking to have a short weekend in Prague.

9.2

This was a good hotel for the price. Not too far from the Old Town center (a 10 min. walk). The only drawback to this hotel is that there is no AC, so you have to leave the windows open in warmer months, and it can get a bit noisy from the street outside.

8.8

Soggiorno in luglio. Ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo. Personale molto cordiale, simpatico e disponibile ma lasciava un pò a desiderare la pulizia della stanza. A 5 minuti a piedi dalla "piazza dell'orologio". Nascosti nei vicoli vicini molti bei localini da scoprire, cenate in periferia che conviene!

8.3

Super résidence peu connue, on était 4 dans un appartement avec deux grandes chambres, une salle de bains et une kitchenette. C'était vraiment sympa pour un prix assez avantageux. Internet gratuit et open. Bien situé pas loin de la place de l'horloge et employés très sympas. Je recommande.

9.8

We can't praise the staff enough. When we arrived, there was a problem with our room that they would not be able to correct right away. They made arrangements for us at another apartment close by. We didn't lose any valuable sightseeing time and the replacement apartment was perfectly fine. We had breakfast at the Hotel Residence Bene and it was one of the best breakfast buffets we had in our 11 day tour of Europe. We may not have actually stayed at the Hotel Residence Bene, but based on the service we received, the standard of our replacement apartment and the help with planning our sightseeing, keeping our car safe and breakfast, we couldn't have been happier with the staff. This was our first visit to Prague and thanks to the staff at Hotel Bene it was wonderful.

9.0

Hotel piccolo ma accogliente. Camere silenziose e con mobili nuovi. Cassaforte in camera gratuita con combinazione. Colazione ottima e abbondante. Ottima posizione rispetto al centro. Ideale per ragazzi.

9.0

We stayed a family of 5 (children 11, 14, 17y)in the hotels largest appartment for 3 nights in July, and found it very excellent value for money - cheaper than any of the hostel family rooms. The hotel appears very drab from the outside, but don't be fooled by this. Our app. had 2 recently renovated rooms (both with TV), bathroom, and a small kitchen, including refrigerator, kettle, stove and even a microwave. The receptionist were extremely friendly and most helpful, suggesting sights, public transport and cheap parkomat parking nearby, but we chose to use the hotels parking at the back (relatively exp. but secure). The breakfast was very good buffet style, even some take away fruit and muesli bars were provided. Location is just 5 min. walk from the town square and 15 min. from the famous bridge - couldn't be much better.

9.2

L'albergo è pulito, la posizione è molto buona perché a dieci minuti a piedi dal centro e il rapporto qualità prezzo a mio avviso è ottimo. Ho prenotato una stanza da 7 posti con un gruppo di amiche e ci siamo trovate davvero bene. La colazione va bene e il personale è stato sempre molto gentile e disponibile.

5.8

Mucho ruido y no hay recepción a partir de las 12 de la noche. A pesar de ello muy buena atención por parte del personal. Las obras condicionan la estancia; cuando estén finalizadas merecerán otra calificación.

9.1

The receptionist was really friendly and polite. The room was spacious and clean. Bathroom was clean and the shower was good. Three high-speed internet stations (free) at the lobby were excellent. The towels provided smelt a bit funny. Don't expect a hotel entrance. It looked rather like a back door to an office. Look for the address instead of a sign for "Residence Bene". The hotel is in a clean and safe area. About five minute easy walk to the old town square. There are plenty of nice and cheap restaurants and convenience stores next to the hotel. About 10 minute walk from Cedaz airport shuttle stop.

7.3

Budget hotel, and expensive by other european standards, however is an excellent price relative to other hotels in the area. Staff couldn't be more helpful. Rooms are clean. Beds are comfortable. What wins this hotel it's points is the location. 5 mins stroll from the Old Town Square. Bank Machine 100 metres away. Bar and restaurant across the road. Shop besode entrance. Staff were friendly and helpful. Would recommond this to anyone looking for a cheap weekend in Prague.

9.1

Hotel vicinissimo alla piazza centrale del Municipio ed a pochi minuti a piedi dalla fermata della metro. Stanze spaziose, pulite e nuove: per una singola, avevo una stanza tripla (con un letto matrimoniale), grande bagno, frigo in camera, tv (mancava solo il telefono per la perfezione). Colazione super. Ve lo consiglio vivamente.

8.7

i stayed at the residence Bene for a birthday trip to prague,the reception staff could not have been more helpful. they gave me a lesson on how to get around with maps and the best way to get to places. my room on the 7th floor was very small with a sloping ceiling but the internet site had said it would be. it was fine for one person and overall i was very happy with the hotel and it was great value for money so close to old town square. thanks Residence bene!

8.5

Good hotel in a very good location. Noisy street.

7.3

The hotel had a great location, near the old town and with plenty of restaurants and bars nearby. The breakfast was very good and the newly remodeled breakfast room was very nice. We were surprised to find that our room was only half remodeled and that some new furniture appeared one day. We were also rudely awoken by hammering and drilling at 7:00 am on SUNDAY morning! Ask if the renovations are finished before booking this hotel....

9.9

Good location, excellent price/quality rate. Very friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommended!

7.4

It's in a great location and seemed reasonably priced for Prague. The staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel was undergoing renovations while we were there (March), so it was probably more shambolic and noisy than it is normally. They didn't clean the room every day. We were without electricity one day for a few hours, again probably because of the on-going work. I would go back, but do not recommend it to anyone looking for luxury. It is fairly typical for that price bracket on the continent. A nice touch was having a kettle in the room. Some cups to drink out of wouldn't have gone astray, though! The rickety lift is not a pleasant experience.

8.5

We did this holidays with a group of friends (8 people).The hotel is really good located,near the centre of city (5 minutes walking,Prague it's not big...).The rooms are essentials but nice.The corridors and the stairs are restoring but that's not a problem.The breakfast is good with a lot of choices...the staff is very nice and kindly!

7.8

If you don't want to spend a lot staying in the real town center, this hotel is perfect. Staff qualified and spacious rooms with clean and tidy bathroom. At the moment (march 2008) there are works in progress in the hall and stairs giving a bit of dusty impression. Breakfast ok! Good staying overall.

6.8

The location is very good. The room on the 7th floor seems to be renovated recently, looks not gorgeous(like IKEA furniture) but clean. I recommend this hotel to young travellers. Breakfast was good, staff (especially lady)was so kind and helpful. Only about the towel, you sould bring your own one.(WIFI was too slow.)

8.5

Rooms were moderately clean but spacious. Staff were very friendly and helpful, especially with providing information on the town and surroundings. Toilet broke during our stay and someone came to fix it right away.

8.3

This is wonderful location 5mins by foot to the old town square. On the way are fantastic shops to look at and there are cheaper restaurants near the hotel. The staff are incredibly nice and always willing to help. The tram stop you need to get off at is Dlouha (they do not specify this in the directions on how to get there). This is just 1min walk from the tram stop (very close and easy to carry luggage)

9.3

I suggest you to go, cheap and good place to stay...staff is lovely, in particular 1 blonde girl ;)

9.4

Great hotel. Especially for the price. Rooms are very big. And personnel is very friendly. It does look a bitty crappy from the outside, but the rooms are very good. I would recommend to everybody. Location is great as well.

7.0

We had a really nice stay, the hotel is rather modest but great value for money. The rooms were a bit dusty because they were renovating. Otherwise great and the people at the hotel were very kind.

8.3

Very good location.

7.0

great lacation,ordinary breakfast. though my room's main light hasn't worked,one employee didn't fix it.So lastday,i stayed there only bed lights...

7.4

I decided to book this room after reading the comments of other guests. The hotels is very well situated, close to the city center and main touristic attractions. The staff was very nice and helpful. The hotels lookes old inside, however it is worth its price. In the room there was very quiet, I heard no traffic at night. One negative remark: I did not like the towels, they looked old. So I was happy that I had my own with me.

9.6

Excellent location. Excellent helpful friendly service. Hot pressure shower comfy bed Plenty of breakfast to choose from They were renovating at the time, so a bit of noice, but not street noice. Would def. go back and recommend to others

8.0

Excellent attitude of all the staff, made me change my mind and extend my stay in Praha, the drawbacks were anecdotic, if you will, the are truly friends, not just hotel staff.

9.7

Excellent value for money. A great place to stay in the heart of the city. Close to nice local restaurants that were recomended by the very helpful, friendly and welcoming staff.

9.3

perfect for the price

7.0

The entrance must be improved

7.1

L'hôtel est très bien situé par rapport au centre ville. Petit déjeuner copieux. L'accueil fut excellent et les conseils providentiels.... Merci d'ajouter un plan d'accès de l'hôtel car les pragois ne le connaissent pas. Notre fils a 10 ans et a adoré la ville !

8.1

A nice cheap hotel. It's not luxurious but it's great value for money. The bed was really good, the rest of the room was old but functional. The room was towards the backyard and thus very quiet. Breakfast was ok. The location is great, a few minutes from the very centre. They offered a reasonably priced airport pick-up service that we used. So we were happy with the place.

6.7

hotel en reparation mais propre exception pour les draps du lit avec poils!!! Le garage prive est tres petit et bien trop cher pour ce qu il est : une petite cour pleine d objets disparates> L accueil est excellent ( en bon francais) et le petit dejeuner tres bon et tres copieux>

8.0

Un hotel sin demasiadas pretensiones ideal para alojarte en el centro de praga a un buen precio y para aquellos que tan solo van al hotel a lo imprescindible. La relación calidad/precio es fantástica, especialmente por la buena localización y el bajo precio. La atención del personal es perfecta. Se puede pagar en euros y no te cobran ni más ni menos que lo estipulado en VENERE. El desayuno (buffet) es aceptable.

9.1

stayed 3 nights from 15 october 07, very positive experience. very easy tram access from holesovice rail station on arrival from germany. old communist style apartment block being transformed into a hotel.this means more spacious than many hotels, but the ongoing upgrade of property is necessary to give a more attractive "look." should be much better by next summer season. super friendly staff, who really are interested in helping guests enjoy their stay, and even learn everybody's name. only slight drawbacks :- bathrooms oldfashioned with high bathtubs a bit tricky to enter/exit. curtains might be too thin for high summer with early sunrise. good cold buffet breakfast included. fantastic location on dlouha street which has lots of good restaurants and bars ( some very smart ), plus latenight convenience stores. 3 atm machines on street corner, plus good internet cafe ( open to 10pm) in shopping centre on way to republic square if the free acess terminal at hotel reception is busy. only 5 minutes easy walk to republic square or old town square... i would check availability here first on my next trip to prague.

8.1

The position is great (just 5 minutes by foot to Old Town Square), the staff is very friendly, rooms are quite clean, but the hotel needs a total renoval (the first impression is not properly positive). If you're not looking for "Ritz Hotel" and your primary interest is being central in Prague, I think H.R.Bene is one of the best choices you can do. Prices are very cheap and further there is 7% discount for cash payement. They can arrange you transfer from/to the airport.

9.3

Everyone at the Residence Bene was wonderful - welcoming, helpful - just great. They arranged airport transportation for me which made things so easy. The location in the old city was fabulous. Fantastic.

7.6

L'hotel ha camere non molto moderne, ma estremamente spaziose. La massima cortesia del personale alla reception e la location del residence, collocato esattamente al centro di Praga, hanno fatto si che il rapporto qualità/prezzo fosse ottimo. Forse si potrebbe avere un pò più di cura x l'arredamento delle camere. Nel complesso comunque ci tornerei volentieri!

7.9

Very well located, really close to tourist zones, employees of hotel very friendly and helpful

10

There was a plumbing problem in the hotel when I arrived , but the receptionist (Jan) kindly informed that alternative accomodation was arranged for me already at a different place. His service and cordiality was superb and I was really pleased with his service. I can;t comment on Residence Bene itself but its receptionist was fantastic.

9.0

The room was exactly how described, slightly aged, but more tham accomodating. The reception staff were extremely friendly and breakfast was more than adequate.

9.5

Vale la pena... é in centro, pulito e i propietari sono stupendi

8.9

In general it's been a very good experience. The employed people were very nice and heartly. Some details should be treated with more attention (e.g. the room's curtains didn't work very well and the tables-cloths in the breakfast room were just so and so. If we'll be back in Prague, we'll willingly stay there again.

7.9

L'Hotel era purtroppo in ristrutturazione ma l'accoglienza e la gentilezza del giovanissimo staff eccezionale. non troppo silenzioso in quanto si trova su una delle principali strade del centro storico di praga

8.2

L'hotel è vicino al centro, comodo per gli spostamenti a piedi. Le camere sono ampie e silenziose ed il servizio è ottimo. Se dovessi tornare a Praga ci tornerei!
