I found this hotel on a frantic, last-minute dash through the hotel sites about five days before I was due to travel. It came up under the categories of 3* and close to Central Station. Although obviously not within walking distance of the centre, the reviews from people who'd stayed there were so favourable that I decided to go with it. They weren't wrong. My single room was actually a double,with a nice view overlooking the street. The decor is a little old-fashioned but rooms come with TV and en-suite plus the hotel is spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Staff are really helpful and go to a lot of trouble with directions, transport advice etc. It's situated in Vysehrad which has a lot of interesting features, notably its cemetery and is quite a pleasant tranquil place to find yourself in, especially if like me, you are arriving at night on your own.
It takes about 20 minutes to get into town and you have a choice of metro or tram. Because I was lugging a wheely bag after me and didn't have a lot of time I took a taxi to the centre. The hotel arranged this and there was a fixed price.
The most unique quality of The Union Hotel, Prague, was undoubtedly the quality of its breakfast.
I would have been grateful for a cup of coffee in a hotel which cost me EUR43 for the night but instead I was treated to a right royal buffet . Poachd eggs, bacon, white puding, sausage and crispy-fried potatoes were available at the hot counter and on the central table, fresh fruit salad, cereals, juices, multiple choices of breads, jams and other preserves. There were also several large platters of confectionary and yes, I was a pig and had a doughnut. Look at the photo and ask yourself if you wouldn't have done the same thing.By the way the reason the dining room is deserted is that I was the first person to appear for breakfast at 7.00a.m.
I would unreservedly recommend this hotel to others and was infact amazed to find such a good bargain in a city as popular as Prague. In case I did not already make it clear, breakfast is included in the cost of your room.
