Advantages: Reasonably cheap accomodation Disadvantages: No in house Restaurant, No Room Service
The accomodation
Upon checking in to the accomodation I was asked for my Passport, so they could check the details of the booking I had made under my own name. I guess they use this procedure against breakages and in case of theft, trouble etc. I have not known this to be a feature in accomodation in England. This company procedure did not bother me whatsoever.
I travelled alone to this accomodation, having booked a small room, however when I was shown my room I am sure it would have been suitable for two people. As I was staying in prague for two nights on a leisurely short city break, this did not particularly bother me too much regarding the standard of the facilities. When I was shown my room there were two single Bed's situated side-by-side. The Bed's to my eyes looked nineteen eightees style old fashioned beds ...
Advantages: Low price paid per night, decent basic breakfast Disadvantages: No tea and coffee facilities inside the room.
Hotel Apollon Prague
Introduction
Having stayed in Prague many times before I decided upon staying at this hotel as it was slightly outside the town centre area of Prague and it did have easy access to the town centre by using trams.
Getting there
From Dejvicka we got the green line metro to Mustek, wencezlas square, then outside Debenhams from Wencezlas square I took the number nine tram which took about 15 minutes on the tram.
Paying for the accomodation
This was paid for in advance using a credit card using www.booking.com. I paid a total of £20 a night which was excellent value for money, though I was slightly annoyed as my credit card was charged straightaway for the booking. I was also charged 50 czech koruna which is about £2 for breaking the card key to the room. Though all in all I was happy ...
Advantages: Good location, small inexpensive hotel with large room Disadvantages: Not a full-service hotel
Sometimes I really have to think long and hard about whether to write a review of a hotel that I like for fear of persuading others to use it and then finding I can't get a room next time I want one. So please consider yourselves honoured that I'm going to let you in on a secret and tell you about the hotel I found recently in Prague.
Why do so many people shun local hotels in favour of the international hotel chains? Well my guess is that they are looking for security - like American tourists hunting down McDonalds in Paris and Rome. They know they'll never get anything surprising but they know exactly what they WILL get. A hotel brand should guarantee a certain level of quality in return for sometimes paying well over the odds. So if you decide to pick an independent hotel at random will you end up in a bed-bug ridden filth pit ...

Manufacturer's product description
The Leonardo hotel is located directly on the Vltava River, between Charles Bridge and the National Theatre, in the heart of the fascinating city of Prague. The property lies amidst Prague’s cultural, historic and commercial centre, from where everything can be reached on foot. The hotel Leonardo is the result of a skilful renovation of an old post office building in 2004, where you can now indulge in 82 uniquely furnished rooms and suites, boasting antique pieces of Pragues rich Art Nouveau heritage. Some rooms offer exceptional views over the Vltava River, of Charles Bridge as well as of Prague Castle. In a romantic and refined ambience, the Platina Restaurant provides fresh and innovative cuisine that combines tradition and creativity. 2 meeting rooms for up to 25 delegates each overlook the courtyard, which itself is an ideal spot for a pleasant and relaxing break. The property is under Swiss management.
