Prague, Czech Republic Hotels and Apartments

Just spent three nights at the Hotel U Karlova. Can\'t imagine wanting to stay anywhere else on my next trip to Prague. The location is magical and convienient. My room had views of the river and bridge. The views at night were magnificent. Prague is a relatively small city so getting anywhere by foot, tram or metro was simple. This hotel is not The Four Seasons; I\'d describe it as rustic. The rooms have kind of a mish mash of old, non-matching Czech furniture which I found charming and a refreshing change from the typical,plastic Holiday Inn decor. You knew you weren\'t in Kansas anymore, Toto. Rooms were clean and comfortable. The buffet breakfast was very good. Overall, a great experience.

We were delighted when we saw the location of this hotel. Athough right next to the Charles Bridge it is away from hustle and bustle and right next to the river. Our only concern was that our room was directly above one of the two pubs in the hotel - however we needn\'t have worried as we didn\'t hear a thing.

The room was fantastically spacious and very clean. We ate in one of the pubs one evening and the food and service was great (except one blonde girl who looked bored and irritated the whole of our stay), and the breakfasts were fine too - although you need to be in early as all the nice cheese disappears quickly!

I would stay here again if returning to Prague as it was within walking distance for everything and great value for money. All the reception staff spoke excellent English and were very helpful.

On my two visits to Prague I have stayed at this hotel and can only say that it is a lovely hotel in a perfect location. The restaurant is also brilliant serving excellent food at a very reasonable price. Staff are friendly and helpful too
