My husband and I traveled together. The hotel is located in the very center of Prague and is convenient for proximity to attractions and a gathering place for excursions! It fully justifies the declared stars: clean, tidy, acceptable breakfast and friendly reception (in Russian they say "crooked", but they understand everything).
The room was cleaned and the bed changed every day. From the shortcomings: it is a pity that the window opened only 10 cm, no safe, electric kettle, instead of a wardrobe - just shelves and hangers, no shower caps, bathrobes, slippers; soap and shampoos are only stationary (bulk) - well, these are trifles (after all, 3 *), because we used the hotel only for an overnight stay, the purpose was excursions!
With such a rich program, they left / left the hotel at 7-8 in the morning, 2-3 excursions a day + walked a lot around the city - returned by 22-23 hours.
A large number of breweries and attractions overwhelmed simply! Prague beauty!

They take money both crowns and euros. We changed part at the airport and did not regret it, because. street money changers "fooled" the people with "tugriks" that had gone out of circulation, cheated, etc.
The host party - Vedi Tour - we didn’t like it (I’ll explain why:
- the transfer was provided: we were met, settled normally, but back - we were taken from the hotel late (we already wanted to call a taxi) and we arrived back to the plane (although there were plans for Duty Free - we didn’t have time (and were pretty nervous!
- excursions are generally terrible (2 ex-sies were included with us, the rest "bought more" on the spot. Excursions from 15 to 60 euros.
The "tour guides" behaved just awful: emigrants from the former USSR - they were purebred ladies from the Czech Republic (no less), and you are a "bull from a scoop" - there is nothing to try in front of you! Rude, a group of 50 !! ! people were led "naked through Europe" - they told quickly, quietly and indistinctly!
Advice if possible, do not choose Vedi Tour, and if you already got it, then on excursions try to listen to everything they say, and then, when there is time provided, take pictures, because. you can't do it in parallel.
Prague - it turned out crumpled (we walked a lot ourselves)
On May 1, we went to Vienna - we liked it very much!
Boat ride on the river in Prague with dinner - so-so)
Mystical Prague - similarly (it's better to take a walk around Prague at night - it's fascinating).
South Bohemia - a good tour - take it, you won't regret it
I heard that other tourists praised the excursion to Karlovy Vary and Dresden (Germany) - we physically did not have time (
And LOVED THE BEER TOUR!! ! Most memorable!!!
The tour started at 15 and ended at 20, but for us it lasted until 22))) we could not disperse, visited 4 breweries, having tried a huge amount of beer - BUT! try to get to the guide Denis - he is just great! very interesting, informative with humor and respect, thanks to him!
(according to the reviews of other tourists from other tour guides - "so-so - dry").
In general, a lot of photos, impressions and good memories of the trip!

For two for 5 days, the tour cost 1300 euros (stay at the hotel + breakfast, transfer, flight, 2 excursions).
We spent 1000 euros (we bought additional excursions, gifts, lunches / dinners in breweries, well, all sorts of little things... )
