Prague, Czech Republic Hotels and Apartments

Absolute perfect location. Right between the city tourist center and the castle, over looking the river. The resturant has the best view you can ask for but the food is average. I went there with my German class so there were over 15 of us with two to a room. Luckly I saw 5 rooms. Each one was different. Very, very large even by US standards. Each room had a great view even if it did not face the castle or tourist center. The views of the back streets were very interesting. The decor is a little dated and worn, but was still comfortable. My fiance and I are traveling to Germany, Austria, and Prague for our Christmas Honeymoon. We have decided to stay at the Alcymist for a treat, so as of right now I would not stay here again until I stay at other places in Prague. The one thing that really put a bad taste in my mouth was the Casino. Just felt very uncomfortable, but if losing your money is your thing you will find this hotel very comfortable. Good for business, individual stays, young tourist, or people not looking for a cultural stay.

I had the misfortune to read these reviews before booking a 4 day break at this hotel to celebrate my wifes birthday. I arranged their limousine to pick us up at the airport (no Problem). Arrived at the hotel, cases taken into reception and warmly welcomed by the receptionist. That was it. We were then informed the hotel was overbooked and that they had booked us into another hotel and would we like to accept a gift (A meal in their restaurant!!!). We were then taken to this other hotel which was across the river at the other end of the Charles Bridge. This was a small Apartment Hotel with none of the faciities offered by the President. On informing them that we were totally dissatisfied they advised us there was nothing else they could. An expensive way to celebrate a birthday. Short of trying legal redress I have been well and truly been had by this hotel.

My husband and I stayed at The President Hotel for thee nights from 15th February. The hotel is about 10 minutes from The Old Town Square and 10 minutes from Charles Bridge, so the location is great, quiet yet close to most tourist sights.

We could not fault anything about the hotel, the room was really spacious, as was the bathroom. On the first morning we went for breakfast and we came back our room had been serviced all very quick and efficient. The staff were great, very friendly and helpful.

There is a great choice of food for breakfast and the bread is moreish, needed to restrain myself as it was so nice.

Really recommend this hotel and if we return to Prague will certainly be staying there.
