4I am staying right now at the House at the Three Storks, for three nights. My room is super nice, beautiful decor and really spacious.(the collegues with whom I am travelling with are staying in rooms half the size of mine, so the sizes vary a lot) All the public areas in the hotel are really beautifull too and the breakfast is what you would expect from this standard of hotel.
The only minus is the people at reception, and it`s a quite big minus; they are not actually trustworthy. We asked them to book a table at a restaurant for 8 people at saturday night. The restaurant was full, but the guys at reception did not bother to inform us, until when we were at lobby leaving there. We then made them to help us to reserve a table in another place, in Hergetova Cihelna, which I knew is very near. Well, thery did that, but they actually insisted it is a 20 minutes walk a way, and called us two cabs. The two cabs turnes out to be not the official ones, and really the restaurant was not more than five minutes walk away. The other cab charged us 300 crowns, the other one 280 on a drive that should not be more than 50 crowns. This morning I needed cab again to get to a meeting. I was naive enough to ask their help again. The same thing happened. The taxi that arrived was not official taxi. The cab charged 350 crowns. The return trip with taxi that was called from official number 14014 was 81 crowns.
Usually the staff in hotel is there to make sure that you won`t be robbed, but it seems here is the other way. So watch out, if you stay at the hotel. I try to get in hold with the manager if I have enought time.
