Zizkov studio -004- Overview

Look, I’ll be straight with you about Zizkov studio -004- – it’s one of those places that quietly exceeds expectations without trying too hard. When I first walked up to 9 Prokopova, honestly, the building looked pretty standard for this part of Prague. Nothing fancy, just that solid Eastern European architecture you see all over Žižkov. But you know what? Sometimes that’s exactly what you want.

The thing about staying in Žižkov is that you’re getting the real Prague experience without the tourist circus. I mean, you’re still close enough to walk to the city center (maybe 25 minutes if you’re not in a rush), but you’re actually living where locals hang out. There’s this great little hospoda just down the street where nobody speaks English and the beer costs about half what you’d pay near Old Town Square. The studio itself is pretty compact – and I do mean compact – but whoever set it up actually thought about how people live. The kitchenette has everything you’d actually use, not just random appliances that look good in photos. I was able to make proper coffee in the morning and even cook a simple dinner when I got tired of restaurant food.

What really surprised me was how quiet it gets at night, considering you’re in a pretty lively neighborhood. Žižkov has this reputation for being Prague’s party district, and while that’s sort of true, it’s more about cozy bars than crazy clubs. You’ll hear some street noise during the day – trams clattering by, people heading to work – but it settles down nicely in the evenings. The TV Tower (you literally can’t miss it, this massive communist-era monument with giant babies crawling up the sides) is practically in your backyard, which sounds weird but is actually kind of cool. Plus, if you walk up to Riegrovy sady park, especially around sunset, you get these incredible views over the whole city. That’s something the guidebooks mention, but being able to just stroll there after a long day of sightseeing? That’s the real advantage of staying here.

Check-in was refreshingly straightforward – no fancy lobby drama, just efficient and friendly. The whole operation feels family-run, which I appreciate after dealing with soulless hotel chains. Is it luxury? Definitely not. Will you have everything you need for a solid Prague stay? Absolutely. The 8 rating makes total sense to me – it’s not trying to be something it’s not, but what it does, it does well. If you’re the type of traveler who wants to experience Prague like someone who actually lives here, rather than just hitting the tourist highlights, this little studio in Žižkov will serve you perfectly.

Reviews of Zizkov studio -004-

• We were very satisfied with the stay. Clean and comfortable apartment! – Irina from Cyprus – 11 September 2023 (8/10)

  Location is very good, within 10 minutes to city centre by bus or tram. Buses and trams pass by every 5 min on working days.

• Exceptional – Filio from Cyprus – 12 November 2024 (10/10)

  The location is great. The tram stop is close and goes directly in to the city in less than 10 minutes.

• Very good – Martyna from Poland – 20 July 2025 (8/10)

  pokój czysty i wygodny, wszytko co potrzebne jest zapewnione
  
  What could be improved: W nocy bywało głośno

• Appartamento ottimo per coppia di amici – Nicolò from Italy – 23 September 2024 (9/10)

  Appartamento molto accogliente e con tutto il necessario per stare qualche giorno. Letti comodi, Smart tv e cucina con quasi tutti gli utensili, anche se non proprio tutti. Qualità prezzo veramente super.
  
  What could be improved: L'appartamento si trova nella zona 3 di Praga, ovvero una zona poco movimentata soprattutto la sera. I locali vicini chiudono quasi tutti a mezzanotte e quindi se si vuole uscire bisogna camminare parecchio o prendere i mezzi, comunque molto efficienti.

• Very good – Svitlana from Germany – 26 December 2023 (8/10)

  Удобно что в номер можно попасть приколу на двери. Окна выходят на задний двор и было тихо. Кровати удобные.
  
  What could be improved: Не было мыла. В ванной нет крючков для полотенец и отпадает ручка на двери.

• Comodo – Federica from Italy – 25 November 2024 (8/10)

  Spaziosa, ben riscaldata e attrezzata.
  Molto vicina alla fermata del tram dalla quale raggiungere il vetro di Praga
  
  What could be improved: L’unica cosa da migliorare è il bagno
  Sarebbe utile aggiungere anche solo un porta asciugamani

• Very good – Carolina from Spain – 2 November 2024 (8/10)

  El precio para ser un apartamento con baño privado y a 15 minutos del centro en tranvía
  
  What could be improved: No tenía gel de baño y champú, cosas que suele haber en todos los apartamentos. Faltaba microondas/horno. La última noche los huéspedes fueron muy ruidosos (aunque no es culpa del anfitrión)

• Very good – Dmytro from Ukraine – 5 April 2024 (8/10)

  Расположение хорошая развязка транспорта. Рядом магазин
  
  What could be improved: Нет микроволновки, не было геля для душа

• Correcto – Antonio from Spain – 3 October 2023 (8/10)

  El estudio en general está bien. La cocina está muy nueva , las camas son cómodas, la ubicación buena, tiene la parada del tranvía a 3 minutos con varias líneas que te llevan a cualquier punto importante de Praga. La zona tranquila
  
  What could be improved: El armario del estudio necesita una reforma completa, era una antigua alacena donde han puesto tres estantes y perchas sueltas . El baño necesita alguna estantería para poner los productos de baño y algunos ganchos para la ropa, toallas ..etc.

• Very good – Анна from Ukraine – 27 July 2024 (8/10)

  Оптимальне місце розташування, зручно дістатися до центру,вокзалу і автовокзалу. Можливість готувати їжу.
  
  What could be improved: На одному ліжку був незручний матрац, таке враження, наче на панцирному ліжку. Готель не забезпечив сміттєвими пакетиками ті іншими потрібними для підтримання чистоти засобами.
