The place is super clean (I saw maids polishing the railings and even the underside of a flight of stairs in the garden outside the breakfast room), with 2 non-smoking floors (if you want a room on these floors, book early) and 2 rooms for the disabled.
It has an attractive indoor pool (no charge for guests) with a wooden deck that is protected like some kind of family heirloom. You can't go inside the pool room with your shoes on, even for a peek. They give you special elasticized cloth coverings to put over your footwear!
The buffet breakfast included in the price was excellent, with a large variety to choose from, even for those who don't eat meat. Outside the dining room is a small carpeted children's play corner with a game machine and a bunch of toys.
Having said all these nice things, I found the service at the front desk below par. There was only one fellow who spoke passable English (and obviously, he wasn't always there), and the clerks went into a huddle every time I asked a simple question. Basically, the answer to all my questions was: "No, we not have this in Czech Republic." And I'm talking about things like a supermarket or a vegetarian restaurant....
We had actually asked for a hotel within walking distance of the Old Jewish Quarter. Well, it is walkable, but a much longer walk than we anticipated.
