Hotel Cechie Praha - Prague, Czech Republic 

I have just returned from a six night stay at the Hotel Cechie with my family. This was my second stay there, and I rate the experience as "neutral" as I did the first time. The hotel is clean, spacious and the executive rooms are well-furnished with comfortable beds. The breakfast was good. The sporting facilities were also satisfactory. As with Prague generally, my only real complaint were the sour-faced staff who were not welcoming or helpful. By UK standards the hotel seems very, very overmanned with bored, surly staff doing very little. I found the sports staff particularly unhelpful.

This is a quiet hotel on the outskirts of Prague. The rooms were clean, en suite with TV. There was no air-conditioning which would have made sleeping better in the high temperatures of July. The underground Metro is only a few minutes walk and you can be in the city centere in a couple of minutes at very low cost. Tickets can be purchased from the front desk. The staff were excellent. Polite, friendly, helpful and spoke perfect English. The hotel is near a railway line. When we complained about the noise we were given another room on the other side of the Hotel but we could still hear the trains however we soon got used to the noise. I think there should have been a dress code for the restaurant. One morning a man came in for breakfast wearing a baseball cap. He wore it all the time he was there. This may seem unimportant to some but it really upset me. The breakfast was very good with a large variety. We never had evening meals there but ate in town. We would stay at the Cechie again. Restaurants to avoid. 'Pravda' on Parizska street. Posh, nice looking, but over priced, stingy portions and inconsiderate service.
