Hotel Duo - Prague, Czech Republic     

Just returned from staying in the Hotel Duo with a group of friends, ages ranging from 17 to 63. The outside of the hotel is so brightly coloured it looks tatty and ridiculous, and is surrounded by council looking blocks of flats, lots of them. The hotel does offer all that is states in its description, the room was comfortable, but the air con didn’t work though, the bars and restaurants were adequate. People can smoke in the bar seating area, and it does get really smokey. It does also cater for very large groups of school children. When your sitting having a drink of an evening they are very noisy. The biggest let down were the staff, from the reception staff to the waiters, they were all very very rude. Too numerous to tell you about them all. In fact we had the same kind of reception in the shops and restaurants all over Prague, they don’t have any manners and they are blatantly rude. Also found Prague quite expensive. Even though the tourist parts are really lovely to look at, we all left Prague very disappointed with the way we were treated, and all have said we wont ever go back.

The Hotel Duo in Prague was a very good hotel to stay in. Although it is situated just outside the city it has a metro station outside the hotel which runs on time all day and evening. It is very cheap to travel. A ticket can be purchased which lasts for 75 mins and you can travel from the hotel to the centre, and also use the same ticket for the trams. The hotel itself is very comfortable the rooms were spacious and kept cool by the air con. The hotel dining areas were very good and the restaurant was not overpriced. The food was good and you could purchase snacks during the day from the bar if you wished. If you walk to the metro just opposite is a couple of blocks of flats between the flats is a bar very cheap for drinks. A large beer and small beer cost around a ?1 much cheaper than the hotel or in town if you just want a drink. Used by the locals but very friendly. I would certainly go to the Duo again and have not hesitation to recommend to my friends.
