Byt v srdci Žižkova Praha 3 Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Byt v srdci Žižkova Praha 3, you immediately get the sense that this isn’t your typical tourist accommodation. This three-star property sits right in the heart of Žižkov, and honestly, the location alone makes it worth considering. The building has that authentic Prague character — you know, the kind of place where locals actually live and work, not just another sterile hotel block.

The Žižkov Experience

Here’s what I love about staying in this part of Prague — you’re genuinely in a neighborhood that feels real. Žižkov has this incredible energy that’s completely different from the tourist-heavy areas around Old Town. The famous TV Tower looms nearby (you can’t miss it), and the streets are lined with traditional pubs where you’ll hear more Czech than English. Couples especially seem to get this area — they’ve rated the location 9.3, and I can see why. There’s something romantic about wandering these quieter streets in the evening, then being able to hop on a tram and reach the city center in minutes.

The Space Itself

The apartment setup here is what really sets this place apart from standard hotel rooms. You get a proper living space that feels like staying at a friend’s place rather than just crashing somewhere for the night. The kitchen is actually functional — I mean, you can cook a real meal if you want to, not just heat up instant noodles. The room has that cozy, lived-in feeling that makes you want to settle in for more than just one night. Everything’s clean and well-maintained, but it doesn’t have that overly polished hotel vibe that can feel a bit cold.

Getting Around

What surprised me most was how connected this area actually is. Sure, you’re not walking distance to Charles Bridge, but the public transport links are fantastic. The tram stops are close by, and you can reach Wenceslas Square or the castle district without any hassle. Plus, there’s decent parking in the area if you’re driving — something that’s genuinely difficult to find in central Prague. The neighborhood has proper grocery stores, cafes, and that authentic Prague pub culture that you just don’t get in the tourist zones.

Why Guests Love It

That 9.3 rating isn’t just a number — this place genuinely delivers on what it promises. You’re getting authentic Prague living at a reasonable price point, in an area that locals actually recommend. The property has earned an excellent location score of 9.6, and after spending time here, I understand why. It’s that sweet spot where you feel like you’re experiencing the real city while still having easy access to all the major sights. The apartment-style setup means you can actually relax and spread out, maybe cook breakfast instead of hunting for overpriced tourist cafes every morning. For couples looking for something more intimate than a standard hotel experience, this hits all the right notes.

Reviews of Byt v srdci Žižkova Praha 3

  • Andreas from Germany – 5 January 2025 (10/10)

    Besonders schönes Retro Apartment etwas außerhalb von Prag. Gut mit der Underground zu erreichen. Mit Restaurants , Bars und Mini Markets um die Ecke. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.

  • Venter from South Africa – 30 December 2024 (7/10)

    Very well equipped kitchen, cute and spacious area, close to many mini markets and good restaurants, relatively close to metro/tram line

    What could be improved: The radiator was noisy on occasion, only a bath with a hand held shower-head not mounted in the normal shower position

  • Leslie from Germany – 3 December 2024 (10/10)

    The property was really nice, clean and cozy. Had all the essentials and was really well decorated and organized. The location was perfect, near to the metro and tram and some stores and supermarkets.

  • Lenka from Czech Republic – 21 October 2024 (9/10)

    Skvělá lokalita. V blízkosti stanice metra J. z Poděbrad. Díky orientaci oken do dvora bylo ubytování velmi tiché. Kuchyň je vybavená vším potřebným. Byt byl čistý.

    What could be improved: Přemíra vonných tyčinek a zvuky topení při rozehřívání a chládnutí byly jedinými rušivými prvky.

  • Tal from Israel – 26 September 2024 (10/10)

    Everything was great, the host was very kind and accommodating

  • Tzvetiana from Bulgaria – 17 June 2024 (10/10)

    What could be improved: None

  • Tatianav from Slovakia – 21 April 2024 (9/10)

    – perfect location
    – nice retro apartment
    – possibility to bring a dog with no additional fee
    – comfy bed
    – very nice owner – even though we haven’t met in person
    – we could arrive before checkin and stay after checkout – really appreciate it

    What could be improved: – there are just gas heaters
    – could be a little bit cleaner

  • Gabriela from Czech Republic – 18 October 2023 (10/10)

    The apparent is spacious, clean and very nicely designed

  • Dmytro from Slovakia – 2 October 2023 (9/10)

    The place is nice and clean, though not freshly repaired with a bit old-fashioned furniture, but it has it's own charm. The kitchen has all you need to cook at home, but we really didn't need it with so many bars and caffes nearby. The hostes was really nice and responsive giving all the relevant info on finding the location.
