Residence Tabor - Prague, Czech Republic     

Plus points: 1. Close to tram stops (5, 9 and 26 routes - the 26 goes out as far as the airport bus service 119). 2. Breakfast is very good but don't expect anything cooked. There's fresh fruit, pastries, breads, cereals, meats and cheeses, coffee and various teas. You can also take tea, coffee, sugar, milk and fruit for your room. 3. Rooms have a kettle, fridge and microwave as well as a TV with channels in various languages. 4. Large supermarket 100 yds up the road (turn right out of front door) but there are loads of 'potraviny' (small food shops) close by too. 5. Rooms are clean however, unless you put your towels in the shower, they don't replace them for 3 days. The bins also weren't emptied every day but this isn't too much of a problem (although it depends on what you're putting in them!). Minus points: 1. Noise from trams is intrusive if you're in a room on the front of the hotel and want to keep a window open. 2. Towels are like sandpaper. 3. Some kettles get a bit hot in places they shouldn't! 4. Room 132 on the third floor has a leak from the roof and is damp and musty.

This Hotel is part of Golden City Hotel across the street so if you find it hard to find reviews search golden city. There are some pictures of the room on Tripadvisor under golden city. The Hotel is value for money but there are things you need to know and understand. 1, Reception is over the road in Golden City as is breakfast, not really a big deal at all. 2, Its a very good location with a tram stop outside and only two tram stops in each direction from two different tube line and close to all the main areas, a big plus. 3, On the down side, the tram stop outside is very noisy and you wont get much sleep if you keep the window open, while I was there it was in the high 20's to low 30's, a bit of a heat wave and with the windows closed all night it to shut out the noise it was very hard to sleep. 4, the beds are singles, three to a room and two joined to make a double and very very hard. When you look further they are strange beds, no mattress at all but more of the thin very very hard upholsters cushion permanently attached, more like a sofa really. 5, The floor had sticky stains that needed mopping from the day we checked in to the day we checked out. And the bin was not emptied once. 6, The towels were very rough, worth considering taking your own. 7, breakfast was continental but a very good choice and very friendly staff serving it. However, all in all I still recommend this hotel to those after a budget base in a good location but please bear all the above in mind. Hope this helps...
