Well, in broad terms, my experience & opinion certainly differs from the previous two reviewers. I'd stay there again as the hotel itself is quite good.

The hotel is right next to the tube stop which is 4-5 stops (depending on where you get off) from downtown. It took exactly 7 minutes to Muzek (?Spelling) and the tube ran very regularly - never had to wait more than 10 mins.

The location is out in the sticks with little around it but the petrol station 2 mins walk (across a busy junction hence the two mins) does wine, beer, water, filled rolls, peanuts, etc.

I'd booked my airport transfer ahead of time (just type "Prague airport shuttle" into google) and paid 600 crowns for an efficient service.

So to the detail:

Luckily I asked about internet access as I checked in. Some rooms can get to the WiFi and others can't. This explains the many people sitting in the foyer with their laptops. On this basis I was upgraded to a suite which was very nice. It felt like a luxurious hotel and the room was well appointed, the shower good (there was shampoo, etc), beds comfortable, etc. I think my TV had three English TV channels including BBC World news and Eurosport. Anyway, at my rate of €67 per night it was a steal.

The downsides:

1. The T-mobile internet is a rip-off at ~GBP17 (~US$34) per 24 hours. However, it was available in my room and in the conference room.

2. The room has no iron (mine had a trouser press) but there is an ironing room on the 3rd floor. Ordinary (not steam) irons - this is not acceptable for a business class hotel.

3. Breakfast is a buffet for 350 (I recall) crowns (~GBP10). Its not possible to get a simple coffee and croissant and I didn't find any cafes nearby offering breakfast.

If I was coming to Prague for a weekend I would consider staying here and taking the tube in & out of the town - especially if I got the same rate.

The Hotel is quite a distance from Prague Airport and will cost about 800-900 CZ to get from the Airport to the hotel by taxi. If you use mini bus from the Airport it's about 200CZ for either 1 person or a group up to 3 people that are in the mini bus. Check on the price, before taking the ride.

The rooms were very hot and the air conditioning had to be turned on, for some of the night. No major quarms about the room, quite cheap room and comfortable. My only disappointments, were the shower head was broken in my room, which was a bit awkward, the plug also seemed to be faulty for the bath and when I got the shower going, the cleaning team took the dirty towels and did not replace them.

The food is ok, but since your in Prague, would throughly recommend you get out of the hotel and see some of the sites and eat at some fantastic restaurants. The metro station is just behind the hotel and it is about 5 stops to the centre of Prague.

The hotels customer service is not one of the greatest and I felt very uncomfortable and uncertain how to take their attitude e.g. whether it was cultural difference or just plain being rude.

In my own opinion pay slightly extra and stay in a hotel in the City center. Would not recommend this hotel to a tourist, at all. Too far out of the city and it can be frustrating jumping on the metro every day.

“Unhappy business traveller from London”

Dorint Don Giovanni Praha

Dec 4, 2007
1/2 found this review helpful

I am writing this review from the perspective of business travelling and overall this is the worst hotel I have been stayed in for business. What was wrong with it:

1. No free room internet access (for wi-fi from your room you have to pay)

2. Paid for a double room - the double bed consisted of two singles pushed together

3. Uncomfortable, nosiy bed - far too soft

3. No trouser press

4. Get charged for taking breakfast to bedroom

5. Get charged for leaving room late

6. the hotel offers to organise your airport transfers for you; however they use a dodgy company; my driver (Skoda, 'bad boy' sticker in rear window) whilst driving at atleast 70 mph continued to write, send and receive text messages; consequently, he nearly drove into a road barrier. I complained to the concierge but she seemed to find it amusing and did nothing

7. Food is questionable but you have no alternative (except dodgy looking Chinese restuarant across the road)

8. staff do not know how to smile - customer service really needs improving

9. nothing to do in immediate local vicinity - need to take public transport (about 20 m) into town

10. conference rooms are disappointing - big pillars in the centre of the rooms so unless you get the front rows you can't see the speaker, and projection screen not high enough so can never see the bottom of slides

11. 14" television in rooms (the only free English channels are the news channels, if your lucky like me you might catch a show in english on the german mtv channel)

12. Disappointing toiletries in bathroom (no body lotion, shampoo, shower cap etc.) however there was a tiny hand soap and a dispenser that apparently dispenses all in one hand, body and hair wash!!! (- which in my opinion smells like rotten eggs)

13. Dirty curtains in restaurant

All in all very disappointing - don't let the outside, the reception or the bar fool you ( - this is where all the money seems to have been spent so far). Wouldn't stay here for business again (and it wasn't even my money!) and definitely wouldn't stay here for a vacation because it is not near to the town (15-20m by car). If the staff were more friendly I might have enjoyed it a bit more. Management need to realise that its not just about the look of the outside and reception but customer service is also important.

“Great for conferences”

Dorint Don Giovanni Praha

Save Review
3 of 5 stars
Dublin, Ireland
Nov 26, 2007

Stayed here for 3 nights in November for a conference. The conference facilities and set up were truly excellent. The room was pleasant, however I would give a higher rating except the room was far too hot and the a/c system didn't seem to be functioning. Otherwise all was good. Staff were very pleasant and the bar is nice and relaxing.
Hotel is located beside tram and metro stops so travelling to the centre should be no big deal.

I stayed at this hotel as a result of a Grand Circle tour. At first I was disapointed that it was not in the center of Prague but after staying here realized it was clean, comfortable with large rooms and wonderful bathrooms, a nice bar and resturant and best of all around the corner from the subway, bus lines and trolley line. It is five stops from old town prague and very reasonable rates. That is to be appreciated in a city in which there is a 19 percent flat tax on every purchase. There is also a good ventilation system which gets rid of most of the smoke and there are non smoking floors. The hotel staff is very helpful on booking concerts, giving directions and making your stay enjoyable. I would stay here again.
