Rested in Prague from November 25 to December 2, tour "Zlata Prague + Dresden", tour operator "Amigo", stayed in Olshanka in a single room, friends lived in a family room, which consisted of two rooms and a common corridor with shower and toilet.
After reading various reviews, I was prepared for the worst, but the hotel turned out to be decent. Rooms are clean, furniture and fixtures are simple but new. Only the carpet had a healthy stain and there was no shelf for shampoo/gel in the shower. But from the minuses, in general, everything.
Cleaned and changed towels regularly. The room was warm, there was always hot water, at least at half past six in the morning and in the first hour of the night. One of the days the bulb in the chandelier burned out, they changed it without any problems.
The TV set has one Russian channel, like RTR - the planet. But to be honest, I turned it on once, and then to look at Czech television.
They don't speak Russian at the reception, but they understand.

The breakfast is quite good, everything is fresh and tasty. several types of cheese, sausages, sausages, vegetable salads, once there was a fruit salad, eggs, one hot dish, several types of pastries, yoghurts, muesli. The menu was not very different every day, but we didn’t have time to get bored in a week, but we ate enough so that later we could run around the city while it was light and not think about food. Juice, as it seemed to me, divorced. Coffee is also watery, but in general, an ordinary americano.
Once we took breakfast with dry rations. Gave two sandwiches/hamburgers stuffed with sausage, cheese, pickles and tomato slices. Waffle in chocolate, juice bag, apple.
A few more words about food. opposite Olshanka there is a good restaurant Olshe, the prices are very economical, the portions are just gigantic and everything is delicious. And on the same side as Olshe, supermarket Albert, another Albert in a shopping center near the Flora metro station (5 minutes from Olshanka), compared to our prices in stores of this level, prices here are cheaper. At least, it is unrealistic to buy one hundred grams of sliced ​ ​ ham or cheese from us for 18-24 rubles (from 11-13 crowns), and there are such prices. Beer from 12 rubles per half-liter bottle (from 7 crowns)
Quite close to the center. It takes 20 minutes to go to the Powder Tower, I timed it by the clock - along Taboritskaya, which goes into Seyfertova, and then into some other street, and so walking almost in a straight line, you get to the tower. It’s about the same to Vaclavka, only you need to turn from Seyfertovaya to Opletalova. Go along Opletalova just to the middle of Vaclavak. It takes 15 minutes to walk to the main railway station. We often drove back by metro, managed at the most economical rate for 24 crowns and from Smichov, Andel metro.
As a conclusion, I don’t know when, but I will definitely return to Prague, so as not to run along tourist routes with a map at the ready, but to calmly wander through the streets of a fabulous city where time has stopped, and where you don’t feel that it’s the 21st century, and that this is the capital and a million-plus city, it is so intimate, cozy, calm, fabulous. And when I arrive, I will not have anything against stopping in Olshanka again.
