Prague, Czech Republic Hotels and Apartments

This hotel is as central as it gets. It was my 40th Birthday weekend and 20 friends stayed here and had the best time. In such a beautifual city we needed to be centrally based and where it was happening. It was perfect. We all had rooms with a view of the old square and the famous astronomical clock and yes whilst it does chime on the hour every hour it is a wonderful sight to live with and well worth putting up with for a weekend. We had the presidential suite in the hotel which was beautiful and very spacious, even had its own sauna!! Well worth spoiling yourself , believe me its wonderful here. All the bedrooms where slightly different sizes but very comfortably and appealing. I can\'t wait to return to Prague and would not consider staying anywhere else.

Just got back from 3 nights at the Grand Hotel Praha. We had a lovely big room (213) with a view of the Astronomical Clock out of one window and the Tyn church out of the other. Enormous comfy bed. Everything was spotlessly clean and the staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast is great - fruit, cereal, muffins etc, bacon, sausages, eggs - fried, scrambled or boiled, ham or cheese croissants...we couldn\'t think of more you could want, although we noticed someone had brought their own rice krispies! The location is ideal and has a great atmosphere. The only slight - and it is slight - drawback is there is a bit of noise from the chairs scraping on the wooden floor of the cafe outside. Having said that, the cafe is a great place for coffee and a cake after your evening meal. As for restaurants, we enjoyed the 7 Angels - live gypsy music - and had excellent steaks at Metamorphis. Service was excellent in both restaurants, wine was a bit pricey in 7 Angels. We booked through A-Prague.com - they\'re very helpful, arranged transfers and everything.

We stayed at this hotel for three nights and it was fantastic. It was pretty expensive but hardly surprising considering the great view from our window of the Astronomical clock and the Old Town square. Plus, nothing was too much trouble for the staff and they were wonderful. They arranged for a driver to pick us up from the airport and back again. The room and bathroom were spotless, and we loved the decor. Despite the huge crowds gathered below the window on the hour to see the clock, we couldn\'t hear a thing when the window was shut so it wasn\'t a problem. And we had a much better view than they did! There was plenty to choose from for breakfast to set you up for the day, and the staff in the restaurant were very friendly. One of the best things about having the restaurant/cafe downstairs was the chance to have an enormous piece of cake and a cup of coffee late in the evening! They\'re open till midnight. We\'d never seen so many different types of cake. There were a good number of restaurants along the street outside the hotel so you are right next to your room when you\'ve finished your meal! I would definitely recommend this hotel if you can afford it, but make sure you get a room with a view!
