Prague, Czech Republic Hotels and Apartments

My Girlfriend and I stayed here last week for 3 nights in November. It is a decent hotel within walking distance of most attractions.

The Hotel
Very Clean Rooms. Rooms cleaned everyday but bedding was not changed. Shower and bathroom also spotless.
The room was a little noisey but nothing that interupted our sleep. Trams go by the door nearly all night for what we could hear.
The Breakfast was nothing special but would keep you going if needs be. The Restaraunt and the Bar in the hotel were closed for our entire stay. Not sure if this was the time of year or not. Staff were very friendly and spoke very good English and were always willing to help

Location
Most attractions are within walking distance of the hotel, the old town, new town, charles bridge, little quarter, Jewish quarter etc. The only attraction that was not within walking distance was prague castle and this was easily accesible by public transport. just ask at reception and they will direct you.

The City
A Beautiful city with lots to see and do.

First things first. Hotel Harmony is right by a road that is used by a large number of trams (about 1 every 3 minutes). So when booking a room get an internal facing one, i.e. one that does not overlook the road - otherwise you will find it very noisy (even though the windows are double glazed. Also try to get one away from the lift as the door bangs every time it closes.

Staff: very friendly and helpful. All speak English. Were happy to change our room from street facing to an internal room.

Breakfast: 7am - 10am, but leave it after 9 and there\'s is only really bread and cheese, cornflakes etc left. At 10 prompt the whole lot is taken away.

Cleanliness: Clean and tidy.

Room Facilities : (Suite) TV - Mainly German with only a poor CNN service in English, Powerful shower, hairdryer, warm duvets, thin mattresses, telephone, mini bar, normal chair, comfy chair, central heating radiators.

Hotel Facilities: Safe lock boxes, luggage storage, leaflets, 24 hour reception, lift to all floors (watch your kids fingers if you use this), stairs to all floors, clean toilet facilities in reception.

Location: 5 mins amble to the Powder Tower. 10 Mins Wenceslas Square / Old town square, 15 mins to Charles Bridge. 25 mins to Prague Castle. Lots of trams right outside to loads of different locations. ATM across the road, convenience store right outside the front door, supermarket 5 mins away, restaurants everywhere. We thought it was a pretty good location really.

Tips: Buy a three day cheapy tram/metro ticket (at about £5.50), and pick up a small map from the leaflets in reception.
Taxi to the airport - advertised at about 750ck - this is too much, you should be able to get one for 550 - 600ck (close your eyes when you are being driven somehwhere!). Guided tours - waste of money as the guides didn\'t seem to know much. Take 200ck or 500ck notes if possible as 1000ck were sometimes hard to use.

So overall it\'s a clean basic hotel in a relativeley good location - but get the right room otherwise your visit could be a sleepless one!!

Excelent location, very close to the historical center (about 7 min) and also to Florenc Bus Station (about 5 min) from where you can take the bus to Karlovy Vary, Kutna Hora etc
Clean, basic but very good servicies, the staff is OK.
It is ideal for people who like an excelent point to start their trips.
