"We recently stayed at the Clarion Congress for 3 nights as first time tourists to Prague. We prefer our accommodation to be away from the city center, and this was perfect. With access to the metro via the adjoining shopping mall, the commute took just over 10 mins on the B line, so getting in and out of town was no issue. Our stay was peaceful and relaxed, and I would highly recommend.
We arrived almost 2 hours before check-in thinking we'd have to wait, but as our room was available we were gratefully given early check-in. Petra was fantastic! She promptly carried out the essential admin tasks before giving us a virtual tour of the city on the map she provided, along with info on how to access the metro etc. She truly is an asset and an ambassador for your hotel.
Our room on the 7th floor was spacious and spotlessly clean (a theme for the whole hotel). The bed was huge and comfortable, w and the large window offered a view of the small park across from the hotel. Air-conditioning kept the room at a perfect temperature and feeling fresh, the bathroom was clean with a decent shower. Plenty of storage for our clothes, with 2 laundry rooms on lower floors for last minute washing or ironing.
Breakfast each morning was an experience, with probably the largest selection of breakfast foods I've ever experienced. It had everything! We enjoyed a cooked breakfast every day, accompanied by the freshly cooked pancakes and some of the hotels own honey. Coffee was from bean to cup machines, and my espresso was great. With a pastry to finish it off, we left each morning fully fueled for a day's exploring.
We also had lunch in the hotel on our first day, and this was our only disappointment of our stay. We reviewed the menu online from our room before heading down to the bar area to order, but we were informed the online menus were not available and we were presented with a different menu. This was a reduced menu compare to what appeared online, and didn't have any of the dishes we were looking forward to trying. Not a big deal, but an easy fix to update the web page. As a note, the hotels access to the shopping mall brings you straight into a small food court with a decent choice from 5 or 6 vendors, so there is always additional options.
Overall it was a great stay, and I would recommend to anyone looking a reasonably price stay away from the city center, but with great access to transport links."
