Hotel Mucha - Prague, Czech Republic     

Nice and spacious room, lots of facilities, great mini-bar and internet access. TV has maybe 8 channels in German(?), a couple in Czech and CNN (the only English channel except for a few dated pay per view movies). On first impression walking into the room we were suitably impressed until we discovered the rock solid bed, which on one side was broken and we had to fix it ourselves. We had ordered a double but it was two singles pushed together. We feel like we've slept on the floor. On the plus side the tram stops right outside and the double glazing is efficient enough to keep out the noise of it running through the night. The breakfast was cold and nasty, they run out of items quickly and lots of guests could be heard complaining about the fact that they'd run out of bread or the coffee was cold etc. Wonderful art-deco theme and great bathroom. We would have rated this hotel much higher if it wasn't for the bed and below par breakfast. It's a three star masquerading as a four.

We have experienced lots of City breaks, this being our first trip to Prague. We always take time studying the hotels and surrounding areas and this time found a hidden gem. The Hotel Mucha is situated in a quiet area of the City but easily accessible to all tourist attractions. Daily tram tickets can be purchased from the extremely friendly and helpful receptionists at the hotel who informed us as we were going to buy a 3 day ticket, that it is cheaper to buy daily tickets. The hotel is situated a few yards from the tram stops and the No. 24 tram(leaves every 5 mins) takes you to the centre of Wenseslas Square which is walkable distance to shops, daily market, astronomical clock and Charles Bridge. The bedrooms at the Hotel Mucha are quite grande with antique furniture very large beds and all modern amenities, hairdryer, kettle, (tea/coffee/sugar and milk renewed on a daily basis). Getting to sleep every night was no hardship as the hotel is situated on a quiet street away from the late night revellers. Our mornings started with a delicious breakfast, plenty of choice and again staff were very friendly. We asked the receptionist to book us a taxi back to the airport which was advertised at a fixed rate of the equivalent to ?20 which was very good as we were in a party of 4. The taxi driver turned out to be the bell boy (who we thought looked a lot like David Walliams) and we spend a pleasant drive with him to the airport as he showed us some beautiful sights of Prague. We all thought our 4 day break to Prague was one of the most memorable and enjoyable holidays we have experienced and even the weather was glorious! JUST PERFECT. Many thanks to all staff at the Hotel Mucha. Kind Regards David and Jill Dickinson, County Durham, England
