Prague, Czech Republic Hotels and Apartments

We spent a week at the Hotel Na Zamecku in Prague during late September.
The hotel was good, a little basic but the room was clean and spacious enough for two. The room was cleaned everyday, my only complaint would be that the bathroom was a little tatty and very small, it could do with some refurbishment. The main clientele were large tour groups of aging Europeans, often Italian, whose buses were parked in the car park most days.
The staff were excellent, polite and courteous and spoke English beautifully. We ate in the restaurant on the first night there and found the food to be great and very reasonably priced. A meal for two, with drinks came to around £12. Breakfast was included and had a selection of breads, cold meats, preserves, yoghurts, fruit juice and hot drinks. On one occasion there was a breakfast meeting taking place at the hotel so the breakfast room was closed but we were seated in the dining room and staff brought a good selection of breakfast items to our table there.
The hotel is far from the centre. On average it took around 45 minutes to get into the centre of Prague so we only returned to the hotel on one day during the day. This didn\'t bother us too much as we were happy staying out from around 10am in the morning through to around 11pm at night but please bear this in mind if you like going back to the hotel during the day. It is simple enough to get into town, a 5 minute walk to the bus stop then a 5-10 minute bus ride to the Dejvicka Metro Station and then a 20 minute ride into town. The metro is excellent, efficient, clean and cheap. Dejvicka is on one of the main lines which will take you straight through to Starometska - near to Old Town Square. It is worth buying a week pass which costs around £5 for unlimited travel on buses, trams and the metro. On arrival we took a taxi to the hotel and the driver was unfamiliar with the hotel but he was very pleasant and gave us quite a guided tour on the way, he found the hotel and the taxi journey cost around £25 and took about 45 minutes. If you do the same you can buy your first travel ticket at the hotel reception to enable you to get to the metro station and buy a weekly pass.

my wife and i stayed at the hotel na zamecku for three nights ending sep 24th.
we found the hotel very clean,the staff friendly & helpful,the breakfast satisfactory and the one night we had dinner at the hotel it was first class.
though the hotel is out of town,we found the location very pleasant & relaxing.

the public transport system in prague is excellent and very reasonably priced,and easy to get around.

with abus stop right outside the hotel connecting directly to the metro system,access to the city centre was quick and easy

i will definately stay there again

Got off the plan got into a taxi, a company called AAA i was told to use this firm because they don\'t rip you off because they are on a meter system. I knew the hotel was the other side of the city it cost us 800 Korun about 24 pounds.I yeld to to the driver hit it bob and don\'t spare the horses.It took about 45 minutes to do a 30 minute journey. This was because the driver didn\'t know exactly where the hotel was, he didn\'t speak any English and I didn\'t speak any cheque? what a pair we were I was laughing at him and he was laughing at me . But with a bit of map pointing and grunting we managed to find it, wooHHOOO.I gave the driver a tip and thanked him for making me laugh and shook his hand. The hotel is nice and clean. We booked with Expedia so all we did was give the bloke the voucher we downloaded and printed out he looked at it and said yep looks good Mr Lewis room127. Room 127 is on the 2nd floor. On the way to the room there were random sofas and chairs to sit down on if you got no friends and like sitting in the middle of no where. Got to the room well presented, I have stayed in many rooms around the world none as good value for money as this one before. Mini bar which you have a sheet of paper and mark down which items you guzzled, simple, take that at the end of your stay to reception and pay up. A desk to white stuff on. A 15inch L.C.D Tv with German movies and CNN!!. The bed to single beds pushed to gether. Make sure if you are doing the wild thing to keep off the middle or someone is going to have a brused back. Bathroom well fitted hairdrier buit in, big mirror tidy sized power shower and the thrown. There was a towel rail as well. It was full of air because we were on the top floor so i used the bottle opener from the minibar to bleed the air out of the heated towel rail. I had to do this with the radaitor in the bed room as well but it was more difficult because the screew bleed nipple was a very fine slot, not even a 1 pence piece would fit so i took the flap off the toilet roll holder, it took a bit of effort to do this but once off i took it over to the rad in the bedroom and out came the air. I fitted the flap back on to th toilet roll holder, and no one was any the wiser. After that every day i would bleed the air out of the towel rail as the towel rail was the highest point of plumbing in the room then we had a nice warm room to back into after being out. Next moring breakfast was a buffet layout. If you are going into town you can book the minibus which you have to book the day before you want to go it is FREE it leaves at 9.40am and comes back aroud 6pm. we used taxis to get into town, which the guy at reception will book for you with a price of 400 K around 12 pounds it can get a bit expensive. Bar closes at around 11pm.
I hope this has been some help. Karl Dinam BoyZ
