Prague, Czech Republic Hotels and Apartments

My friend and I (two women traveling together) stayed in this hotel for only 1 night. It was absolutely wonderful, and our only regret is that we stayed for only one night. We wanted a two bedroom apt., and that is exactly what we got by booking what they listed as a \"ladies suite\". We had suite #2. One bedroom had a queen size bed, the other had 2 twin beds, so this suite would be excellent for a small family or 3 individuals traveling together. The staff were extremely polite and helpful. My firend\'s luggage did not arrive on the airplane and the young man working at the reception desk managed to track it down and get it delivered to us from the airport. He was extremely kind!

In addition to the 2 bedrooms, we had a full bath w/ jacuzzi tub (excellent), another 1/2 bath (toilet and sink only), a living area w/ small kitchen stocked w/ dinnerware, cookware, etc. sofa, chairs, TV, etc. In the room w/ the 2 twin beds was a computer connected to the internet, all included in the price.

The location is excellent - the Charles Bridge was right outside our window! Breakfast was also included in our room, and it was very nice, eggs, bacon, excellent rolls and pastries, cheese, salamies, etc.

I highly recommend this hotel. We had no problems w/ bookings as reported by previous posts. We made our reservation via Expedia, and the price was right for us!

This is THE place to stay in Prague. The Lundborg is a perfect, small hotel containing just 13 suites (no rooms, just suites). It is situated about 50 metres from the beautiful Charles Bridge with most suites having views of the bridge. Ours (suite 5) was on the third floor. We had a jacuzzi bathroom and dining area with a view to the towered-gateway of Mala Strana. Our bedroom and seperate living room both had windows overlooking the Charles Bridge immediately outside. The views could not have been better. The suite was a tasteful blend of both traditional and modern, complimenting the 700 year old building, which was formerly a monestary. Quality wooden furniture finished in a distressed blue colour, matching leather sofa, chairs etc. Each suite has a kitchenette with twin hob, sink, fridge, mini-bar, crockery, cuttlery, cooking pans etc. Our suite had two TVs - on in the bedroom and another in the living room. The suite comes with a PC (with free, yes FREE) internet access and also a CD/radio hi-fi. CD\'s are available from a library of music at reception at no charge. Each suite is slightly different, so check out the hotel\'s helpful website which has pictures and descriptions of each. The hotel is pristine, spotlesslsy clean and immaculate. The included buffet breakfast is served in the small, groundfloor restaurant and comprises both hot and cold selections. We got a great deal through hotelsbycity.com so that we booked three nights in suite 5, with buffet breakfast in the hotel\'s restaurant for just 453 Euros (which works out at around £100 per night). Everything you need to see in Prague no more than a 20 minute stroll away - most sights are within a 5 minute walk. Across the bridge, you\'ll find the Old Town Square, the Jewish Quarter (Josovo) and Wenceslas Square. On the hotel side of the Bridge you\'ll be a short walk away from the MUST SEE Prague Castle and a funicular railway to Petrin Park with it\'s look-out tower. Two great restaurants I could recommend near the hotel (two out of hundreds of restaurants, snack shops, bars etc) are the U Castela Restaurant and it\'s adjoining Pizza Bar (actually a Trattoria). Just walk under the gateway of Mala Strana and up the street for 2 minutes, they\'re on your left in a vaulted arcade of shops, just as you reach the square. Fantastic Czech cuisine, beautifully presented at reasonable prices (Wild Boar in blue cheese sauce, Duck, Venison ec) There\'s even a resident blind pianist to tinkle the ivories as you dine. Our 10 year old son also enjoyed eating at a branch of the ubiquitous McDonalds chain -just a few minutes away up the street into Mala Strana. You must also see the Marionette worskshop and shop next to the hotel. Just think of a traditional toyshop in a Christmas Tale - or the toymaker in Pinnochio - it\'s just like that - pure magic ! The entire area of historic central Prague is tasteful (even McDonalds is unobtrusive), very safe and gives the visitor a feeling of being transported back into a fairytale land of history. Try a walking tour - they leave from outside the Astronominal Clock in the old town square throughout the day and evening. We were in Prague for Halloween and took our son on an hour long ghost tour (they leave the clock at 8pm & 8.30 nightly - no need to book - just turn up). It added an extra dimension to the spooky night-time cobbled streets. There\'s even a 30 minute boat tour of Prague which you can catch just opposite the hotel - everything is just so convenient from the Lundborg. Do choose to stay at the Lundborg - it\'s quite simply the best choice - luxury suites at an affordable price !
