What a pleasant surprise it was to see what a great location the Pension City Hotel was in...right in the heart of the historic center of Plzen, close walking distance to everything! Each concierge was completely fluent in English and was very friendly and helpful. This hotel (really a bed & breakfast) has around 9 or 10 rooms. The room we stayed in was very cozy, with a comfortable bed and modern bathroom. Even though it's located in the heart of the city, the room is dead quiet, and perfect for getting a good night's sleep. The breakfast buffet is very nice...it includes 3 or 4 kinds of sausages (note: if you're in the Czech Republic you better get used to eating sausage!), yogurts, cereals, juices, coffee, tea and really great fresh breads...and a few other delights to get you started in the morning. The people who work there are really friendly. If you stay there, you won't be disappointed. The price is right and the comfort and location is super. Only 2 small criticisms: They only have 2 parking spaces, so if you rent a car, there is a possibility that there may not be a space always available, in which case you'll have to park across the street at a cost of around $3. Also, there was no English-speaking channel on the TV. So, if you don't speak Czech, you better bring a good book...but, you know...the area around the hotel is so beautiful you probably won't be spending much time in the room. I highly recommend the Pension City Hotel.
