Chez David

A Jewish "penzion" located just outside of the Old Town, Chez David has eight clean and simple rooms. Neither swank nor stunning, Chez David is nonetheless a good value and an exceptionally friendly spot.

While fairly basic, the rooms are also spunky. The furniture is quite unremarkable, but hardwood floors and the alternating white and wood walls are attractive. They come equipped with air conditioning and small televisions. The bathrooms are fine; tight corner showers have arched shower doors. Constructed largely of white tiles, they’re clean and pretty modern.

Beyond the rooms, the atrium lounge on the ground floor is a fine place to relax after a day of exploration. The complimentary breakfast is served in the property’s adjoining restaurant.

Chez David is a hotel for those interested in taking in a bit of local Jewish culture. Note that the restaurant is "Israeli style" (there's no pork on the menu) but not Kosher. The location is another selling point, two minutes from the labyrinthine alleys of Staré Mesto. It's also a jump from Slovakia's Jewish Museum. Perhaps the one downside is the noise from the trams that run past the hotel.
