Hotel is cheap staff pleasant worth a trip good value for money Hotel is 200 metres from the Tram and about 10-15 minute walk from Metro. The Night tram service also covers this stop

it was real bad there was blood on the carpet and other stains the toilet was like it had never been cleaned and there was dust every wear and the lock on the door didnt work and the stairs were dangers you just had to shake the railing and it would shake the hole way down the windows on the stairs where to big and could be realy dangres and there was glass blocks missing at foot level so you could easily trip and some of them where by the windows so it would of been easy and i nearly did to fall out the windon
and the food was realy bad and by internet cafe they mean one very old pc that doesnt even work.

so in all i wodnet stay there.

We arrived at the hotel as it was just starting to get dim on a muskyMarch evening. Our hotel was a colossus, stretching up maybe 400 feetabove us in sinister dark red brick with small, grimy windows and aphalanx of flags flying above the main entrance, including (ratherworryingly) a Soviet drapeau that hung sorrowfully on the right handside of the entrance, in an ironic reversal of political symbolism. Wewalked inside and the reception seemed to prove that one can judge abook by its cover. A tatty red carpet covered the floor. Over in thecorner, a group of nonchalant German youths smoked and played on thearcade machines as only people in 1980s music videos do. A quaintnaval-themed little restaurant was on the opposite side of the room,somewhat ironic due to the fact that Prague is 322 miles from thenearest large body of water (as it happens, the Baltic Sea). Indeed,“Czech Navy” has become a bit of an oxymoron. After being given our archaic room keys, we used the lift (whichclattered, spluttered and rocked its way up 15 floors, the doorsswinging open so far that it felt like the shaft scene from Die Hardas we hopped into the corridor. Up here it was less impressive. Thecorridors, covered in tatty grey carpet and smelling of cabbage,reminded me of a mixture of Pripyat (the town destroyed by theChernobyl disaster) and the apartment in which Winston lives in inOrwell’s 1984. Through a creaky set of double doors, there were a fewsurprisingly modern, laminate wood doors, which led to a small porchto which were connected two double rooms. The rooms themselves weretiny, not much bigger than your average kitchen in a London apartment.There were two beds – the sheets were too short -, a large cupboardthat looked ramshackle and ready to fall apart, and a small, rotundrotary dial telephone that proudly announced on the bottom that it wasmade in Czechoslovakia in 1968. The grimy window looked out onto thesprawling Soviet estate that surrounded the hotel; eerie playgroundswith rusty swings, strip clubs lit with blue neon strips, and smallLadas pootling their way around the streets below. After a somewhat cold night’s sleep due to the short sheets, we leftthe room into the well-lit corridor, after having watched the reddishsun rise over the Žižkov TV Tower. We decided to take the stairs downto breakfast; the precarious stairwell, with broken windows lookingout onto the eerie banlieue that surrounded us, as well as a fewmissing steps and a precariously wobbly handrail that wasn’t reallyfit for purpose. We got downstairs, where the German youths seemed not to have moved atall, despite this being 12 hours after we arrived. We went in forbreakfast, and were served cold meat of uncertain origin and cheese aswell as rock-hard bread seasoned with salt by a moody chef. The applejuice was like battery acid and would probably be drank like a shot ofvodka back in the UK. But it was an ‘experience’, after all.

As I always want to save on accomodation as much money as possible I booked this hotel because it was the cheapest 3 star hotel close to the city centre of Prague which I found. For the price I had paid I had not expected anything special but I was very positively surprised! Rooms are actually apartments – two rooms (living room and bed room), satellite TV, wifi for free, parking for free, rich breakfast. Hotel staff were very nice and helpful. Dinner in their restaurant was great and cheap, they have the best pizza I have ever had. I got to the city centre very fast. I highly recommend this hotel.
