5Lovely small hotel, close to restaurants and Old Town. The staff was very helpful and friendly, greeting us wherever they saw us. The breakfast buffet was unbelievably generous with a great selection of choices from eggs, meats, fish, cheese, fresh fruits, yogurt, breads, sweet breads, juices, coffee/tea. Our room was nicely decorated, using dark wood and modern furniture, and clean. The bed was wonderful!
Prague was edgy and beautiful with so many sights, shopping and restaurants. We would recommend a walking tour to see and hear about the history of Prague. For all one hears about potential trouble with pickpockets, etc. we had no trouble. Even our 16 year old and her friends were able to go about the city without incident.
From Prague we were traveling to Salzburg. We hired Mike's Chauffeur, based on other reviews, to drive us there. It is a 5 hour drive and let's just say that if Mike recommends Uncle Jan as your driver, DON'T. The road is often just two lanes and Uncle Jan drove, on average, over 90 mph, cutting corners, passing blindly and tailgating. Seemed he wanted to pass every car between Prague and Salzburg. Even my husband, who never gets rattled, was tense and very glad to arrive in Salzburg. It was exhausting.
