EuroAgentur Hotel Manes - Prague, Czech Republic 

My husband and I booked with Last Minute.com, and stayed over Christmas for 5 nights. We booked a taxi before on internet, which cost 600kc each way and was very comforting to know the driver would be waiting for us when we came through arrivals. The hotel is in walking distance of everywhere, (but be prepared to get tired), and on an ok street. At night it can be a bit scary walking back, even along the main streets, as there are lots of homeless drunk men about, some in groups, that maybe look more threatening than they really are, but not knowing, not nice. The hotel is spotless and very modern. Our room on the 4th floor was lovely, though I do agree with previous reviews that the shower is too low, so you can't actually stand and wash your hair whilst showering, unless you are quite small. There is a lovely big tv on the wall, but only has cnn in english, probably because the hotel has more foreign guests stay than English. The room was far too hot, as I expect the heating had been put on full as it was -3 to -6 outside! We ended up not having it on the whole time and it was comfortable then. The staff seemed ok. The one time I did ask why there wasn't tea or coffee making facilities, as it says on Lastminute.coms website, I was stared at rather crossly and the man shrugged his shoulders and told me, 'no' after looking on the Internet. That was one thing we did miss, coming back at night, not that late I may say, and the bar being closed, and not being able to make a nice hot drink before bed. The hotel does seem a bit dead. Breakfast was very good. I think 7-10am is a very good time. One day it did get so busy we nearly gave up, trying to get what we wanted as it was too overcrowed. The choice of food is great, and we never felt like eating lunch as we were so stuffed! We didn't get to use the wellness room or even see it as the jacuzzi had broken down and couldn't be repaired as it was Christmas, which was a real shame. On the same street, left out of the hotel is The Lemon Leaf, Thai and continental restaurant. We loved the meal there, one of the best places we ate at and not very expensive. Across the road, from the hotel and down a side street is the U Flecku pub, which most people say you have to go there for the beer. We did and disliked the place. The beer was ok, but you get given an appertif, which you don't feel like you can refuse, and when you get the bill, they charge you for it,100kc which is about £2.85 for each. You literally sit there, choking on the smoke and they come around with trays of beers ready to exchange your empty one. There are lots of nicer cheaper places elsewhere. Back to the hotel. Apart from the few minor things I mentioned, which would make it an excellent hotel, we would recommend it.
