Hotel Atos

Excellent location, 10 minute walk into old town. Beds were comfortable. Breakfast had adequate choice and staff were always quick to replenish items. Friendly staff. Good food in restaurant next door.

Room was quite basic with only a small window (can only speak for our floor, the 5th). Shower gel dispenser wasn't topped up and only two tiny bottles in bathroom in four days. Had to go to reception for extra sachets.

The location was great for me. Quiet but very close to all relevant sights. Public transportation was excellent! Lots of different trams routes available within half a block. The trip from the airport to the hotel could not have been easier, and cheaper, thanks to the instructions on google :). The Charles Bridge was approximately a 10-15 min walk, but the city is so nice that there's always something to see. The hotel is in an old, but well preserved building, it has character. I liked that. The rooms are spacious and have modern bathrooms; the shower space was a bit small, but it worked well. The water pressure was excellent. My room had wooden floors, a mini bar (good if you want to store your own food), a nice size closet, two very nice mirrors, a desk and two chairs. I always choose twin beds in case I like a pillow or mattress better (that way I can choose). There was one elevator (maximum of 5 people) which was appropriate for that hotel size. Breakfast was OK: a good variety of breads, a toaster, cakes, scrambled eggs, porridge, sausages, green beans/vegs (? - did not try them), sometimes hard-boiled eggs, ham, cheese, salami, yogourt, juices. The staff was friendly enough, and they also sell bus/tram tickets which was very convenient. The room when I first checked in was very clean. See next section for more details. Two mini markets one block from hotel and nice restaurants around. Petrin Park is one block away (you will want to take the funicular to the top). Very close to the bus terminal where buses to Český Krumlov depart (4 tram stops) if you are going with RegioJet (but tickets need to be purchased at Florenc station). Prague is a very quiet city and I always felt safe, even when walking at 5:30 am to catch the sunrise. The main concern in Prague? Drunk tourists!, luckily the hotel is on the other side of the river, so not a problem. All things considered, I would recommend this hotel.

While the room upon checking in was very clean, I feel the staff did the very basic on a daily basis. I had to ask staff to sweep the floors at one point because I could see it had not been done for a few days (I stayed 9 nights). Maybe I am a bit of a clean freak, but I do notice those things. The other thing I did not like, and I realize this may be a trend in other hotels, is that now they have duvets and just change the cover. The beds are not really made anymore, all the staff does is fold the duvet and that's that. It does save them time, but when it is too hot to have the duvet, I really don't want to touch the duvet to just have the cover. In the old days (blanket and sheets) I could just leave the blanket at the foot of the bed and have the sheets, but now with this new system... it is not so convenient.
