Advantages: Reasonably cheap accomodation Disadvantages: No in house Restaurant, No Room Service
The accomodation
Upon checking in to the accomodation I was asked for my Passport, so they could check the details of the booking I had made under my own name. I guess they use this procedure against breakages and in case of theft, trouble etc. I have not known this to be a feature in accomodation in England. This company procedure did not bother me whatsoever.
I travelled alone to this accomodation, having booked a small room, however when I was shown my room I am sure it would have been suitable for two people. As I was staying inprague for two nights on a leisurely short city break, this did not particularly bother me too much regarding the standard of the facilities. When I was shown my room there were two single Bed's situated side-by-side. The Bed's to my eyes looked nineteen eightees style old fashioned beds ...
Advantages: Low price paid per night, decent basic breakfast Disadvantages: No tea and coffee facilities inside the room.
Hotel Apollon Prague
Introduction
Having stayed inPrague many times before I decided upon staying at this hotel as it was slightly outside the town centre area of Prague and it did have easy access to the town centre by using trams.
Getting there
From Dejvicka we got the green line metro to Mustek, wencezlas square, then outside Debenhams from Wencezlas square I took the number nine tram which took about 15 minutes on the tram.
Paying for the accomodation
This was paid for in advance using a credit card using www.booking.com. I paid a total of £20 a night which was excellent value for money, though I was slightly annoyed as my credit card was charged straightaway for the booking. I was also charged 50 czech koruna which is about £2 for breaking the card key to the room. Though all in all I was happy ...
Advantages: Spacious, good prices in restaurants, interesting shops, very clean, good loos Disadvantages: Not much choice of restaurant, not much seating, no English books or papers, nothing for small children
Twice in September this year we had to fly to and from Prague, using Czech Airlines between the UK and Cyprus. The first time we had a seven hour stopover, and had considered going out to see the city itself; however when we arrived, four things mitigated against this:
1) It was only 5.30am, and we were told that nothing much would open till 9.30 or later
2) Our hand luggage was fairly heavy, and we couldn't find anywhere to leave it
3) We were all incredibly tired
4) It was apparently three degrees Celcius outside!
So having decided not to go out, we were faced with several hours in the airport. Our needs were not great. We wanted to be able to sit quietly and take it in turns to read or nap; we wanted toilets; we also wanted a restaurant of some sort with coffee (vital!) and perhaps some fruit or bread rolls ...
