Prague, Czech Republic Hotels and Apartments

We stayed at the Hotel Legie in October and it was pretty cheap so we didnt hold out too much hope for the place. After all, we were just looking for somewhere to crash after enjoying a few good nights out.

The location was great - we were told 10 minutes to Wenceslas Square but it was nearer 5 minutes. Once you walk down Wenceslas Square you can easily get to the Old Town and then on to the Charles Bridge. We didn\'t need to use public transport or a taxi once which saved us money and hassle.

It is also near a tube station (opposite the hotel) if you need it plus there are cashpoints, some small shops (a 24 hr one importantly where we bought water and munchies at 5am!) a couple of bars and restaurants too if you need something quick rather than heading to the main Wenceslas Sq.

The hotel was pretty good value too. The hotel reception was competent, efficient and friendly. The lift was slow and small so not much use if you arrive at a busy time so we used the stairs most of the time - no great hardship.

The rooms were decent size - not massive but not small either. They were clean and tidy and most importantly for me had a great shower with plenty of hot water.

Breakfasts in europe are never great but this was ok - good selection of bread, cheese and cold meat plus hot eggs and sausages. We need the Full English to hit Europe for it to get any better i suppose.

Overall, we were really happy. Would definitely go back to again and recommend it.

Having read the reviews I was somewhat anxious about staying in the Hotel Legie...but what people appear to be forgetting is \'you get what you pay for\'...it is by no means fancy but its a reasonably priced 3 star hotel..you cant expect 5 star rooms and service.but it is central (10 minute walk to Wenceles square and the metro is just across the road), its clean and the rooms are spot on..The hotel staff are pleasent and the breakfast was fine, there was something for everybody.
fair enough the lift has seen better days but its an experience and at the end of the day there is stairs.
All in all we had a very pleasent stay and i would definately recomment this hotel, if you are looking for a cheap, basic, and clean hotel in a central location.
