How do you imagine good old Europe? The one that the classics wrote about? A cozy living room where guests can sit and leaf through newspapers and where tea is served at exactly five in the afternoon ... Guest rooms with all the comforts ... A homely atmosphere where the hostess in the morning wonders how you slept and can advise where to go on an excursion ... I would like so that such a guesthouse is not located on a noisy avenue, but on a quiet street like Baker Street. All or almost all of our dreams of a European guesthouse can be found in the Europa Pension 3 * hotel (Czech Republic, Prague). We will tell you about this small hotel with the heart of a birthplace in this article. Earlier, four years ago, only two stars adorned its facade. But now there was a repair, the rooms were enriched with new stylish furniture and sanitary ware. But this absolutely did not take anything from the atmosphere of an old mansion. Hotel rating was previously 4.2, and now - 4.4 (out of five possible), which indicates an improvement in hotel service.
Where is the guesthouse located
When booking tours to Prague from Moscow, pay attention to Pension Europa 3 *. Don’t be afraid that the hotel looks like a rural hotel on the back of the map of the city. After all, the Czech capital has one feature: wealthy people prefer the areas of rich villas, which have a large area and a beautiful garden or a spacious green lawn. Have you dreamed about a neighborhood like Baker Street? Prague-8 differs from its London counterpart except in a more pleasant southern climate, without fogs and English spleen. And far from the center, it looks only on the map, or if you intend to walk everywhere.
Public transport in Prague runs like clockwork. A bus stop is a five-minute walk away. Three routes follow to the metro station - Nos. 145, 152 and 183. The third is preferable, it goes straight. Having descended underground at the Kobylisy metro station, get into the car on branch C (marked in red in the diagram). Ten minutes later you will be in the center. You need to leave at the metro station "Museum". According to reviews, the entire journey from the hotel to the center will take a maximum of twenty minutes. The Prague 8 area is not at all a backyard or a sleeping area. Within walking distance you will find a supermarket, pharmacy, post office and an extensive sports center. Bus number 152 takes you to the water park with slides, swimming pools and saunas in five minutes.
How to get to the hotel
For package travelers who booked tours to Prague from Moscow, the transfer is included in the price of the ticket. Airport them. Vaclav Havel is twenty kilometers away. If you have to get to the hotel on your own, you need to take bus number 119 and get there to the nearest metro station. This is Nádraží Veleslavín (green line A). At the Museum you should transfer to the red branch C and go on it to Kobylisy. Having reached the surface of the earth, you need to take one of the three bus routes that we mentioned above and get off at the Sídliště Čimice stop. Now it's up to the small: find K větrolamu street and house number 22 on it. It is much easier to get to the hotel from the train and bus stations. They are connected to the center by the red subway line, so you just need to make a transfer at the Museum Museum. For those who come to Prague by car, let's say that the journey from the hotel to the center will take (excluding traffic jams) about fifteen minutes.
Hotel Territory
Pension Europe is easy to recognize by its beautiful facade, plastered in creamy yellow colors. The name of the hotel can be seen on the wall of a three-story building, and on a sign glowing in the evening at the gate. After passing it, you find yourself in a small courtyard, rather, a front garden with evergreen shrubs and a green lawn. Everywhere there are many flowers: both planted in the flowerbed, and in pots on the windows. Over the entrance to the house flutter the flags of those powers whose subjects are currently visiting the guesthouse. You will not find any reception (on Baker Street it was not there either). You will be greeted by a welcoming hostess and escorted to your room. On the ground floor there is a living room, which in the morning turns into a breakfast room. If you are in a car, the hostess will unlock the gate, and you can park your iron horse in a guarded parking lot. Guest rooms are located on the upper two floors of the building.

You can leave and come when you like. Many tourists claim that they have revised their views on what a sleeping area of Prague is far from the center.

Near the hotel there is a supermarket and several cafes, so you can have dinner nearby. Many tourists claim that they would happily stay here again.
