Prague, Czech Republic Hotels and Apartments

We have just returned from eight days in Prague, staying at the Hotel Selsky Dvur. It has been one of the best holidays i have ever had.

The hotel is out of the way but worth it. Especially if you have had a busy day sightseeing and your feet and head hurt.

This is like stepping back in time. Olde Worlde setting, lovely staff, clean rooms and last , but not least , the food.

Our original plan was to try out a different place each night, but after a couple of meals elsewhere decided this was the best restaurant. Really reasonable for hotel prices. Everything we tried was just so gorgeous. You must try the lobster cocktail in a pear shell starter or the pate. Steaks perfection, fish etc. The deserts are just to die for, especially the crepe suzette.

There is a bus opposite the hotel to take you to the metro or you can walk along the little path next to the stream behind the hotel, walk for about 5 minutes and you will see the hotel ocean just towards you, turn left at the end of the street, cross the small road then the large road and and take the 22 or the 26 tram to the centre, which takes about 30 minutes. Or you can take the tram 22 to the red line metro at Pavlova then the metro to Florenc, which is near the centre and Charles Bridge. Or take the tram 26 to Strasnika metro then get the green line to Mustek for all the shops and Wencelas square. This cuts about 10 minutes or so off your journey. The Trams and the Metro are very safe, clean and efficient even late at night.

The staffs English is a bit limited, but if you talk slowly and try not to use an accent and pronounce your words correctly they can understand you.

We will most definately be back, but next time i will pay for half board.

It was a nice and Cozy, clean hotel. Staff were very pleasant . However I felt it was a bit tricky to get to the place. I travelled to the metro station Skalka and I took number 117 from the same side of the sattion and ended up in a not so nice part of the city. I then learnt the bus 117 is from the opposite side of the station and it was to a place called hostivarski namesti.

Recommended but the problem was it was too far away from the city (about half hour) and with the hot weather you couldnt take a break to freshen up in between unlike a hotel in the centre of the city.

Also recommended are buying a prague card which was for around 700 czech which allows you free admissions to over 50 attractions over a period of 4 days. You could buy it in the american express shop close to the national museum. But it is a real saver!!

It\'s out of the way, but worth it. 18th Century converted stable is beautiful both outside and in. Staff was very helpful and person at the front desk went to my room on two different nights. Once to ensure I connected to the internet correctly and the second was when I asked to get the reading light next to my bed changed. Bed was a large comfortable canopy type and there was plenty of space in the room. Breakfast was great and the breakfast room is cute and quaint. Dinner was excellent with a piano player playing both nights we were there. A bus stop is right in front of the hotel and takes you to a subway station in about 10 minutes. It took less than 25 minutes to get from the hotel to the center of Prague via bus and subway. Great stay and my wife immediately started hammering me about returning.
