Fodor's Review:

The spartan rooms of this former convent, now operated by the Christian charity Unitas, once served as interrogation cells for the Communist secret police. (Václav Havel was once a "guest.") Today the basement rooms maintain a prison theme, complete with steel bunk beds. The rest of the building is the pension, which is comfortable but not exactly cozy. Expect a shared, but clean, bathroom on each floor and single beds in the bedrooms. Cheap prices and a great location mean that you need to reserve well in advance, even in the off-season.
