What guests think

At EA Hotel Populus, reviewers describe a budget stay where helpful staff and decent value are weighed against dated rooms and noticeable wear, and the out-of-center setting is offset by straightforward bus links into the historic core.

Cleanliness reports vary, with several mentions of musty smells, mold, and stained or worn furnishings, though some guests found rooms or linens acceptable. Rooms feel basic and older, sometimes spacious but with limited amenities such as no air conditioning or fridges in places, weak Wi‑Fi, and traffic or thin‑wall noise. Breakfast feedback ranges from rich and satisfying to modest and not always hot. Overall, expect a simple budget base with convenient transport and uneven quality.

Otel Prag merkeze biraz uzak ama toplu taşıma araçlarına erişim çok kolay hemen önünde otobüs durağı var. Odalar temiz fakat buzdolabı olmaması yaz için kötü. Resepsiyona söleyince orada bulunan dolaba malzemelerinizi koyabiliyorsunuz. Ferah bir avlusu var oturmak için. Resepsiyonda 3 görevli dönüşümlü çalışıyor. Ailece favorimiz Peter bey . Çok ilgili sıcakkanlı, yardımsever teşekkürler Peter. Bize Türkçe teşekkür etmek nasıl söyleniyor dedi ve her seferinde elimizi sıkıp teşekkür dedi.

The hotel was 1 star not 3 star as indicated on your rating . It was old and broken I had chat with one of your staff completing about the state of this hotel . Bedding was clean. Staff were good and helpful breakfast was good considering the hotel was 1 star not hotels fault . There was was a dead mouse entrance to the main building . Carpet absently dirty chair and settee full of stains . We tried not to stay in the room . Just go back for sleep . No TV. No tea or coffee facility no fridge. Considering this hotel was 3 star. This is laughable . I will take this further .

The hotel looked closed when we arrived, and our hotel room was dirty. The walls were very thin, and we could hear EVERYTHING our neighbors did (like opening a can) Breakfast wasn’t vert good and there was no hand sanatizer available . Overall the hotel just looked a bit rundown and dirty. The only good thing, was the friendly staff, at the reception at arrival and check out

Ja die Unterkunft war sehr günstig, aber auch bei einer günstigen Unterkunft darf es keinen Schimmel geben. Der Schimmel in der Dusche wurde auch schon mit Dichtmittel überklebt. Es riecht trotz lüften sehr muffig und es wirkt alles feucht im Zimmer. Auch wenn der Betreiber schreibt wir hätten uns ein anderes Zimmer geben lassen können, soetwas vermietet man einfach nicht,das ist Gesundheitsschädigend. Im allgemeinen ist die Anlage ungepflegt und sehr abgewirtschaftet. Leider funktioniert die Foto hochladen Funktion nicht.

Room was dirty. There was food and dirt on the floor from previous guest, there was a chair that was visibly dirty, the shower looked like it was falling apart, the toilet wasnt bolted down so it wobbled from side to side, the keys are made of cheap soft metal so if you accidentally turn it the wrong way theres a good chance it will bend or break, a lot of the furniture and appliances were falling apart. The one lady at the front is also a bit rude. Dont stay here unless you have no other options

One staff member was great. He was very helpful, welcoming and seemed happy. Also the breakfast staff were great. There we 2 front counter staff who were grumpy looking and not very friendly both days we dealt with them. 1 made us feel like she was doing us a favour just for doing her job. We didnt even ask for anything extra. There were cob webs it the room, not vaccummed properly. The paint was chipping in the washroom [alot]. The safe did not work and was not fixed the 3 night we stayed there. We had breakfast once nothing special. Food wasn't very warm. The hotel seems to be run down, rooms and hallways. There was lots of dust on the hairdryer and on the shelfs. The towels and bedsheets were clean. Would not stay here again.

Awfully expensive for what the room looked like. 4 star price in a 2 star hotel. There were other guests in the hotel playing loud music, luckily far enough from our room so we got the chance to sleep well. Sorry guys, maybe this was an exception with the price and all, but not booking again. Staff was ok, friendly, tiny breakfast offered in the morning, but that’s it.

When we arrived we was approached by a man working at reception he was very rude and said we had to pay 500 Czech Coruna For city tax which the website stated it was only 200 when we asked him about this he said that the prices changed yesterday which we found hard to believe the next following days we was dealt with another man who was a bit politer but couldn’t put a smile on his face, on the last day before we left we went to check out and was told we didn’t needed to pay the hotel accommodation which we paid on the first day This was very odd because I’ve never been to a hotel which would even let you pay on the last day anyway he made us show him loads of evidence that we have paid and we just thought it was very odd as this was the same man that asks for the 500 and we felt like he was just keeping it to himself, we didn’t even get an apology afterwards all he told us was okay then and then pointed towards the door we found our stay at this particular EA hotel very unaccommodating

The front desk was rude. I've never encountered a front desk that rude. As someone who is not familiar with Prague, I expected someplace at least somewhat convenient to the city center based on the reviews. It wasn't. I suspect all positive reviews are fake/employees who "booked" a stay just to post a review for the company. There is no reason anyone would stay here. I was there all of 10 minutes then checked out. I would like a refund. This place is horrible and the staff is incredibly rude.

The hotel is basic but clean and has all you need. A nice touch is some rooms have refrigerators to cool a water or soda. They have a breakfast buffet, typical of all Czech hotels and restaurants, always stocked and they have a nice sweet cake to finish off your meal. Very reasonable price and a good, convenient area with a bus stop just around the corner.
