Clarion Congress Hotel Prague

"Very modern hotel with good access to public transportation. In the basement levels there is a shopping mall and anyone who does not want to/cannot do without fast food will find things like Burger King, KFC, and some Asian places around the hotel's own restaurant. The rooms are top-notch and the bathrooms all have bathtubs and generous counter space. However, you cannot open the windows because they rely on air conditioning here (as in the entire hotel). Anyone who cannot stand this air should think twice about checking in here. During our time there, outside temperatures were sometimes over 40°C and the hotel was cooled down so much that you froze while eating dinner in the buffet restaurant. We were there with a tour group and therefore had half-board. The breakfast buffet was extensive, but disorganized. Everywhere you looked there was a counter with cold cuts, rolls, etc.. Although it was the same every day, it was okay due to the variety. Dinner was also served buffet-style, but it was better organized, more varied, and very delicious. Besides typical Bohemian cuisine, there is something for everyone. What I did not understand was the fact that there was water on the neighboring tables and not for our tour group. And anyone who did not want to go without a drink could place an order with the waiter. But caution is advised here. On the first evening, there were no drink menus on the tables, and some were shocked because the drinks were more expensive than at the hotel bar. On the second evening, however, there was different staff, and there were menus on the tables. And lo and behold, the drinks are actually 1-2 euros cheaper. On the third evening, the same game again as on the first evening. The waiter makes up the prices himself there. The elevators take some getting used to, and you usually have to expect long wait times there. For smokers, there was only one spot in front of the main entrance. With such a large hotel, it could therefore be the case that you have to walk a good kilometer from your hotel room to smoke and back again. The staff is friendly and the lobby bar is top-notch. Really good drinks. I do prefer smaller hotels, but for three to four nights, one like this is fine too. Even if you are a smoker. ;)"

"Cons: Room was not ready when we checked in. Had to sit in the lobby for a long time waiting, but several people that checked in after us were able to get their rooms. Was very disappointed to find out the pool was closed for construction. That was one of the main reason I chose this hotel. Pros: Absolutely loved our room. Very spacious and clean. Had a separate shower and bath tub. Very close to metro. Several eating and shopping places connected to the hotel."

"Perfect for families and the staff was very nice"
