Elysee - Prague, Czech Republic 

"Great Hotel"
Posted: Mon, Nov 23 2009
Hotel is in a great location on the famous Wenceslas Square, with very helpful reception staff. Our room was large, clean and newly furnished. The room had a TV, mini bar and tea/coffee making facilities. On some evenings you occasionally heard noisy people coming in, but our room was situated near the lift and stairs and this may have not happened with other rooms. On the whole I would reccommend Hotel Elysee, and when my husband and I return to Prague, we will definitely stay here again.

Overpriced but otherwise OK

This is a standard 3-star hotel on a central Prague location, inside an Arcade just off the Wenceslas square. It’s ridiculously overpriced. We were put there, first in a single and a double and then in 3 single rooms, by another hotel after a failure in our room. The double room was indeed very good, large, airy and comfortable. The single ones were not – they were small and claustrophobic. They were all clean, as was the luggage storage facility of the hotel, surprisingly. All the rooms featured keycard locks, which also cut power on exit. The keycards had to be used in the elevator, too. The room’s bathrooms were basic but functional. The staff were polite and friendly, and continued to be helpful and courteous even after we caused a scene in their lobby, arguing about payment with the manager of the other hotel that put us there. The only internet connection available in the hotel was through a PC by the reception. The PC was running Linux (A customer was asking the reception ”What is this Fedora browser, don’t you have explorer”, as we went in). The breakfast was served in a caf? in the arcade outside the hotel, and had to use vouchers from the hotel to be served a normal 3-star breakfast. The breakfast was nothing special, but the ambient post-industrial atmosphere of the caf? was nice.
