Hotel Details

Location

Balu Apartments sits about 17km from Václav Havel Airport and 3.1km from the O2 Arena, in a quieter residential zone of Prague with good public transport links.

The apartment building is located on the 6th floor in a district that is relatively car-oriented, but a tram stop right outside gives quick access to the city centre - about 20-30 minutes to the historic core by tram and metro. The O2 Arena is only 3.1km away, making the property convenient for concertgoers and event visitors. Prague Castle is roughly 7km distant. Several fast-food and casual dining outlets are within 1km (Husinec u Chcipaka, Curry House, McDonald's, Styx). The area is quiet at night, but the view from the higher floors extends over the city, including some railway tracks and a scrapyard nearby. For airport transfers, a 30-40 minute paid shuttle is available; using a Bolt taxi costs about €5 and takes 10 minutes to the centre.

Dining

The on-site restaurant Balu Kitchen serves brunch and lunch from Monday to Friday, featuring local, international and European cuisine with vegetarian options.

Balu Kitchen is a family-friendly, modern restaurant open 08:00-15:00 weekdays (closed weekends). It offers a brunch and lunch menu with local, international and European dishes, plus vegetarian options. Live music is occasionally featured and outdoor seating is available. In-room breakfast can be arranged for an additional charge. The restaurant also provides packed lunches on request. Wine and champagne are available at a supplement, and a children's menu is on offer. The surrounding area has several fast-food options (McDonald's, Curry House) within 1km on foot.
