If you’re familiar with Ibis Hotels I suppose this will meet expectations. It’s clean, modern, functional, and efficient. It’s well used by tourists, especially large bus groups, as well as businessmen. Staff is well-trained.
The hotel is about 5 minutes from tram and subway. Then wait on the train and in 10 minutes you’re walking around the old city. This means you’ll invest about 30-40 minutes every time to you go and out of center city. It’s not a place you can use as a convenient rest stop amid sightseeing.
There’s a bit mall next door. Surrounded by the standard issue chains, you’ll forget you’re in Prague. The hotel has a few tables outside. On one side is the featureless wall of the Ibis, on the other is a modern office high rise. You sip your drink right next to a parking lot and watch the buses belch forth tourists. You could be anywhere.
If you want something with personality, charm, good location, ambience—all those elements that give a place SOUL, this is not it.
We couldn’t get out fast enough, and relocated for a bit more money in the old city. That move saved my Prague stay.
Entertaining to watch people fight over the single internet computer in the lobby.
