Прага – очаровательный, колоритный, даже немного A magical city with an interesting history and culture. His atmosphere, impregnated with bohemian charm, mystical legends about the Czech alchemists, leaves no one indifferent. Prague is a very non-trivial and multifaceted city. Even among other European capitals, many of which are very majestic, Prague occupies a very competitive position. According to many ratings, publications and surveys, it ranks first among cities, where tourists want to return again and again.
Immersion in the Prague fairy tale, however, can beis overshadowed by some formalities. Given that a visa to the Czech Republic needs a standard Schengen visa, it is impossible to plan a spontaneous trip for the weekend. Care should be taken to collect documents and arrange a visa in advance. In all other respects, the Czech Republic is open and accessible to almost all categories of tourists, its airports accept budget flights-loukostes, the city is connected to Europe by a dense network of railways.
Among other European capitals, Prague is profitableis characterized by its compactness - most of the interesting tourist sites are concentrated in the city center. So the place for spending the night should be selected near the center. Although from distant, cheaper areas you can get to the center by metro in 20 minutes.
Accreditation of hotels in Prague by "star"the principle is in line with international standards. You can even say that their rating system is above these standards. Even hotels of the category 1 * or 2 * are inferior to their more "star" competitors, except by a set of services, but not by their quality. Five-star, royal hotels in the center abound, they are good to the point that guests get used to luxury with lightning speed. You can settle for a day or two in a pathos expensive hotel with impeccable service, rooms with high ceilings and carved beds. But if your plans do not include getting used to the luxurious secular life, then safely leave a five-star oasis and move it to some decent "troika", such as City Center Hotel 3. It's not so inferior to eminent "brethren". And not that this city to look at it from the hotel's window, you need to plunge into Prague, personally stroll along each of its central streets.
A worthy example of European "triples" isthat hotel. It is located in the heart of Prague, on Namesti Republiky Street (exact address: Revoluční 4,110 00 Prague 1, Czech Republic). A very convenient place for tourists who came to see the city, or for travelers who visited the capital for business and corporate purposes. Before the Powder Gate, walk 2 minutes, to Charles Bridge - 3 minutes by leisurely walking tour. Extremely convenient to the same, when you live so close to the center, because many attractions can be visited several times at different times of the day. It is best to do this in the early morning or late evening, when there are no crowds of tourists. This is the biggest advantage of the City Center 3 * hotel. Prague, the Czech Republic - a very popular tourist city among travelers, at any time of the year it hosts tens of thousands of visitors.

And to the metro station of Prague, you can walk on foot in 2 minutes (100 meters ).
Кроме того, что отель расположен центральнее nowhere, it still has a decent quality and a set of services. The official category of 3 * in the Czech Republic is not a verdict, it's decent housing for reasonable money. The hotel is small, has 87 rooms. The hotel is located in a six-story building, built in a classical style. Living on the upper floors carries a lift.
The official check-in time is 14:00.However, from the reviews of hotel guests it follows that if there are free rooms prepared, tourists are not forced to wait for official time, and they settle on arrival. But this is only if there are spare rooms. Demand for immediate settlement at the reception, if there was not another 14:00, there is no point. This is the international norm in the hotel business.
The cafe serves breakfast, but there you can eaton the menu at any time of day. Breakfasts are usual continental: eggs, toast, salads, coffee, pastries, fruit, muesli, yoghurts. It is very convenient for those who feel hungry right after waking up and do not want to wander around in search of a restaurant, and then wait for the order.

They treat me to the Czech Republic generously, portions in restaurants are large. And baking is simply divine: zacher, strudel, gingerbread, rolls.
