"Excellent and very comfortable"

Hotel exceeded our expectations. - Room was spacious and bathroom was very new and clean. - Very comfy beds, and you get used to the trams pretty quickly. - Helpful staff. - Pleasant walk to/from town. If its too much exercise (or too cold!!) then the tram goes almost to the door from Wenceslas Square via the main train station. Really enjoyed the stay, and would definately stay again.

clean hotel, not the nicest people...

Me and my girlfriend booked this hotel with a travel agent. we are both college students so we needed a cheaper hotel to stay at while in prague. Before we left, we had emailed the hotel and they said that they would have a taxi waiting for us at the airport. Upon arrival to the airport no taxi driver was there, so after flying for 18 hours we got our own taxi for the same price the hotel wanted. When we got to the hotel the clerk yelled at us like i was a child because we took another taxi and his driver was still there waiting on us. We said we didnt see him at all ( its not like i would walk past a person with my name on a sign) and the clerk made us pay him 500 kc even though we didnt use the taxi. The next day i talked to the manager and we got our money back. It was our first hour in the country and the hotel clerk treated us so rudely. I mean the customer is always right, but i guess not at this hotel!!!!! the room was clean and the breakfast was ok. one piece of advice, save your money a couple weeks longer and stay closer to the city center, it will be worth the extra money!!!!

Fantastic Hotel, excellent value for money

We booked over expedia.co.uk and got triple rooms for ?30 each. There are two sections of the Hotel Ariston. Request the new part which is called the Ariston Patio. Rooms are doubles/twins and we were given 3 of these so it wasn't a problem. Rooms are brand new and very nice. 10- 15 min walk from Prague hln train station (the main station). Tram stops 20 m from hotel and goes until late at night but you won't hear it. Tram, bus and metro tickets are very cheap ?0.50 for adults and ?0.30 for kids for 20 minute journeys. Day tickets are about ?3.00 for adults and ?1.50 for kids If you are coming from the airport the best way to get to the hotel is by buying a 75min ticket for all buses, metro's and tram. They are very cheap ?1 for adults and 50p for kids.
