The hotel perfectly combines price and quality - in the very center of Prague, cozy, beautifully renovated, modern design, excellent service. There were no slippers or bathrobes in our room. Maybe, if they had asked, they would have been provided, but we came to Prague not for service, but for positive emotions and the search for romance.
The rooms are really small, but everything you need is there (yes, there was no elementary bottle opener, so those who want to try not only self-brewed beer in restaurants, but also bottled beer from the store (of which there are just a lot and for every taste) stock up on your own). Very clean hotel and rooms. They clean and change the bed on request (when leaving the room you need to hang a corresponding sign on the handle door), but because of our only three nights in Prague, we decided to spare the staff.
The hotel has a SPA center. 1 hour costs 600 CZK, 2 hours 1000 CZK. Very well thought out for relaxation - a jacuzzi, a UV sauna - a cabin for two adult soft points (heats up to 60 degrees, unusual for habitues of an ordinary sauna - you warm up from the inside, but you sweat well), a huge plasma, DVD, several discs of slow music (oriental and sea sounds ), mini-bar, tea-coffee service, massage mattress (we did not order Thai massage, for those who wish this place is apparently used for another purpose). When you order a SPA, do not plan exhausting trips around the city on this day - we came with aching legs, fell from fatigue, bought beer on the way (two steps from the hotel there is a decent minimarket)... In short, our romantic evening ended very quickly, we almost fell asleep in the jacuzzi, although after us no one ordered and we were offered a secret to stay as long as we wish without additional payment.

All staff, from reception to cleaning, speaks Russian. The owner of the hotel also speaks Russian, he has his own business residence on the sixth floor. Very pleasant, we were lucky to run into him in the elevator. Hearing that we have a ten-year anniversary of family life (actually the reason for our stay in Prague), I made a 10% discount in the SPA.
Breakfast: very normal. Maybe, of course, in the other four stars there are better ones, but there was always delicious food and there was always plenty - four types of something hot (boiled sausages, scrambled eggs, boiled eggs, stewed vegetables, rice, etc. ), meat and cheese cold cuts, several types of bread, yoghurts, raw vegetables or salad, butter, jams, tea cakes, tea-coffee, juices, milk, and of course several types of cereal. There was a Russian-speaking people (mostly of an elderly age), who themselves ate their fill and took it with them in napkins. Although the prices for a snack in public places are quite moderate. Beer lovers - we recommend visiting the Beer House not far from the hotel - they brew many varieties of beer themselves. There is nothing special to eat, they say, we were recommended to take the so-called carousel - they bring 8 cups of 100 ml each. different varieties, from classic to cherry, banana, nettle, etc. Very unusual, but not for everybody.
In conclusion, I would like to say a huge thank you to Nastya to the administrator - she helped from answering the call when booking (I found out the conditions of the reservation even before ordering at the Institute) until arrival and up to the last minute of departure. From her we learned about good restaurants near the hotel, about where the exchange rate is most profitable, how best to travel by public transport, etc. She even called to the performance of the Shadow Theater and found out about the cost of tickets. Very attentive and thoughtful. Nastya, a huge hello to you from Israel, you will sail not far from our seas, call, stop by for a visit.
In short, the hotel is very suitable for the average pocket, advantageous location (not in the most noisy center, but within walking distance), cozy and clean, comfortable and thoughtful. And by the way, baths are only in suites, in ordinary rooms there is a shower with hydromassage. But quite worthy.

Thanks to the hotel for the welcome, to the staff for the attention, and to Prague for the best vacation! . .
