Prague, Czech Republic Hotels and Apartments

We stayed at the Alchymist for 3 nights and found it to be really wonderful. The spa is beautiful, and treatments are outstanding, we had a double romance massage on the first day and a thai massage on the second which i loved but my boyfriend found a little heavy going. Breakfast is great as is the complimentary evening wine and cheese tasting.

The only drawback and the one thing which would prevent me from booking again is the seriously rock hard mattress on the bed. Such a shame as after a days sightseeing and an evening out it would have been wonderful to fall into bed and feel relaxed, instead it was like sleeping on the world\'s most ornate park bench. A good job the massages are so good.

We stayed for three nights and loved every minute.A fabulous boutique hotel with all the amenities.Their restaurant and their sister restaurant just down the road both great.Good location close to Charles Street bridge and Old Town.Decoration fabulous and staff vey helpful and courteous.A must tay if in Prague

We were picked up by the hotel jeep, which was an excellent start to our weekend. The hotel itself is beautiful the decor very \'OTT\' but it works. We had a deluxe room that was also beautiful, four poster bed, luxury robes, towels and spotlessly clean. Everything you would expect from a 5 star hotel.

I have only two minor gripes with the hotel which I really do not understand why the hotel does what it does

1. Why give complimentary water for the first day only. If you have an empty bottle when the cleaners come the following day why not replace it. When I rang down to Reception to comment that the water had not been changed I was told that only one bottle was complimentary on arrival and a replacement would be 90crowns (£2.25). I accepted this and ordered a bottle, when room service came with a new bottle the bill was for 280crowns (£7.00). I can never remember in all the hotels I have stayed in paying £7.00 for a bottle of water. When I questioned it with the Receptionist he said that he had made a mistake with the original price quoted and the price would be 280crowns (a very take it or leave attitude). So I cancelled the order.

2. On arrival in your room there are beautiful thick bath towels. When the room is cleaned the following day the towels are replaced with small, thin towels. Why!!

I know these points are very minor but it could make an excellent hotel into a perfect hotel for very little effort.

Prague itself is one of the most beautiful cities you could possibily visit. Do try the old vintage car tours they are great fun and cost about £30.00 for approx an hour, well worth it.

Great restaurant to try Hergetova Cihelna Restaurant & Bar, Cihelná 2b, Mala Strana. It\'s right on the river and about 10 mintues walk from the hotel.

All in all, a great weekend!!
