Akat was chosen by me according to two criteria: cheapness and proximity to the metro. Everything is true, but about the pros and cons in order. Pros: 1) Location. Many of the other tourists overpay for finding a hotel in the city center, but Akat is so conveniently located that you can easily and quickly get to anywhere in the city from it.

Akat was chosen by me according to two criteria: cheapness and proximity to the metro. Everything is true, but about the pros and cons in order.
Pros:
1) Location. Many of the other tourists overpay for finding a hotel in the city center, but Akat is so conveniently located that you can easily and quickly get to anywhere in the city from it. Metro, trams, buses run near it, even the railway station is nearby (this is a big plus, since it is cheap and convenient to travel around the country on your own)
2) Cheapness. Yes, yes.
3) Friendly staff. When I needed a train schedule, the girl at the reception helped me, explained that their trains are sometimes late, etc.
4) View from the window. Other tourists even envied me - the view was on the Vysehrad castle. (At least from my room 110)
Minuses:
1) The windows did not close tightly and were generally wooden. It was saved by the fact that it was September and I was alone in a double room - I moved away from the window.
2) Under the windows of hours at 6.00 -6.30 a tractor (an old one, Soviet) drives with a wild roar. Since the windows did not close, the tractor served as an alarm clock, albeit an unpleasant one.
3) Upon check-in, I was warned that they were stealing, so valuables can be handed over to the reception. I did just that, there were no problems. But still this is a minus.
4) There was no air conditioning. I understand that this is normal at this price, but still.

Hotel Pension Akat is a very good option for people with low demands, the atmosphere is homely, the food is no frills, the staff is friendly, understanding Russian. Room cleaning, as many have noted, is irregular, the floor was washed 4 times in 11 days, linen was changed 1 time, towels twice. The location of the hotel is convenient, metro and trams are nearby, to the Powder Gate - 15 minutes by transport, 40 minutes on foot.

Were on New Year's Eve. In general, of course, it looks like a student hostel, mostly young people stay. The most important advantage is that it is very convenient to get to the center - 10 minutes by metro and you are in the very center! Perhaps this is the main advantage. Breakfast is normal, without hysteria as they say.

Breakfast is normal, without hysteria as they say. But most importantly, right next to the hostel there is a Czech restaurant "At the railwayman", I recommend it to everyone !!! ! Excellent cuisine and, by Moscow standards, the prices are simply ridiculous - every evening we dined there in order to have time to try all the dishes. Om-Nom-nom!! !

We read amazing reviews (especially from Saratovets) about the Akat guesthouse, but were very disappointed when we settled in it ourselves. For 15 days of our stay in our room, they never (!!! ) removed garbage and dirt, did not change linen and towels. We bought ourselves a means for washing toilets and sinks - it was disgusting.

For 15 days of our stay in our room, they never (!!! ) removed garbage and dirt, did not change linen and towels. We bought ourselves a means for washing toilets and sinks - it was disgusting. When we entered the room, it seemed that it had not been cleaned, apparently, it was so. There were only two towels, and they were so small and old that they wiped themselves with their own (it's good that they took them with them). There was no soap and shampoo there (although for three stars it is supposed to be). The shower is hung with some kind of dirty rag (sticking to the body when you wash yourself), there is nowhere to hang your washcloth, put your soap and shampoo in the shower: there is no hook or shelf in the bathroom. Even for towels. Breakfasts are very monotonous (every day - the same thing) and very poor, especially compared to large hotels *** on the outskirts of Prague. We paid like for a three-star hotel, but lived in a typical old hostel, but without cleaning and changing linen. I do not recommend.

Lived in Akata. A small, cozy boarding house opposite Visegrad. The staff speaks Russian quite well. Food (buffet) is quite normal for its category. The room has a shower, toilet, TV. There is free internet. Smichov nadrazne metro station is literally 50 meters away. 10 minutes drive to the center. It is convenient because you do not need to travel with transfers, you do not need to use the tram.

The excursion program is interesting, we visited Karlstejn, Pershteyn, Konopiste, Karlovy Vary, Cesky Krumlov, Moravian caves.

The rooms are clean, the furniture is new, there is hot water, the breakfasts are ordinary (scrambled eggs, cheese, ham), the owner (my brother called him "good-natured Pole") is a very pleasant person, it is clear that everything is done with soul. It takes 10-15 minutes to get to Prague Castle by tram.

It takes 10-15 minutes to get to Prague Castle by tram. The hotel is close to metro and tram/bus stop. Voobem, similar reviews were earlier on the Internet, so we went to this hotel. They have their own website and can be booked over the phone. Yes, there is free internet!
