Pension Musketyr in Prague?
 

Has anyone ever stayed there? I'm trying to find affordable lodging in Prague and was quoted 58 Euros per night which seems like a great price but maybe too good. Any other suggestions would be appreciated -- we'll be there at the end of October for three nights and would like something convenient to the sights and under (or right around) $100 US per night. Apartment suggestions are welcome as well. Thanks!

We were in Prague this past June and stayed at a pension called the U Lilie. It is a great location, a block or so from the Charles Bridge in old town. It was nice enough for a relatively reasonable price, and included a cold breakfast buffet. We had also considered the Pension Dientzenhofer, on the other side of the bridge. It was slightly more expensive, may have been a nicer, quieter location, but we didn't check it out while there. We walked to Wenceslas Square and were glad we weren't staying in that area, because it seemed too commercialized with McDonalds and teen clothing shops. We saw a nice hotel, the Hotel Neruda, on the hill going up to the Prague castle from the bridge. It was quite pricey for a room at the time, though. We had a nice lunch on their rooftop terrace. All in all, Prague is beautiful-- you'll love it.

P.S. I forgot to mention this very thorough website, "Essential Prague," http://www.jasoncholt.com/prague/index.html. It's very helpful.

P.P.S. Also forgot Hotel Metamorphis (sp?). It's got a great location near the old square, and a nice outdoor patio for lunch. The inside lobby looked nice, but I don't know how much rooms would be. You can search any of these hotel names, or just "Prague" in general on fodor.com and you'll turn up a lot of info.

you might check into the Hotel Salvator too. It`s reasonable and near old town.
