Guest BilaHora Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 Mr GLYN You could try the Hotel Cloister Inn. http://www.cloister-inn.com They will arrange a fixed price taxi to get to and from the stadion U Markety.

HenryW Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 Can anyone reccomend any decent hotels in Prague? Is it far to Marketa from the city centre? Cheers folks! I guess it depends what standard of hotel you are looking for. First time I went I stayed at the Radisson which was absolutely fantastic. This year we went for the slightly more "functional" (and much cheaper) Pyramid hotel. You can get a tram from the very center of the City straight to the stadium. I can't remember the number off-hand, I think it might have been the 22, but I'm sure there are many on here with better memories than me that will be able to confirm.

MAGPIE Posted December 4, 2004 Report Share Posted December 4, 2004 the tram that you need is the 22 ,and get off at either brevnosky klaster or vyspech. prague is a superb place to visit as well as going to the gp. for good food , i can recommend Pivovarsky Dom,which is a restaurant as well as a micro brewery. also try Bohemia Bagel. does anyone else have any recommendations for good food,and good accommodation ,as i hope to go with 4 friends next year.

Guest BilaHora Posted December 4, 2004 Report Share Posted December 4, 2004 All A small word of warning. Tram 22 is the main tourist tram in Prague and has been known to have a problem with pick-pockets. Public transport in Prague is quick and efficient, just take care with your belongings.

Tigerblade Posted December 4, 2004 Report Share Posted December 4, 2004 I definitely fancy this now I know it is going to be July. Mum and Dad are going there for a few days on the 13th, staying at the Prague Centre, so will post back on afterwards to say what they thought of it. www.hotel-net.cz/detail_en_1284_PRAGUE_CENTRE_HOTEL_USD.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob B Posted December 4, 2004 Report Share Posted December 4, 2004 For anyone wanting a cheap stay look at the 'Pensions' they are between a youth hostel and a hotel, basically a 1* hotel, very cheap if you just want a bed for the night, we've stayed in a few and they've been clean just basic.

Rico Posted December 4, 2004 Report Share Posted December 4, 2004 I can only again agree with HenryW's post as I shared said rooms with him. Radisson was the dogs bs that we wangled on a deal. Nice pensions right next to the stadium (where is the sarcasm smiley ??) Rico Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HenryW Posted December 5, 2004 Report Share Posted December 5, 2004 Nice pensions right next to the stadium (where is the sarcasm smiley ??) God, yes, I'd forgotten about them. Perfect location for the speedway, but possibly not perfect for anything else (including staying in). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other options : From "Hradcanska" Metro Station (Line A), take tram 1 or 18 to Vetrnik. Go to "Andel" Metro Station, walk a few yards to the "Andel" Bus Terminus, and get bus 191 to "Vypich" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 How far away is the Pyramid hotel from the town centre and how far away from the GP? Any idea what the taxi price would be? Which website have you used to book the Pyramid. Any other suggestions for a 3 to 4 star hotel? Help, Where is queen of travel guide Joanne?

Joanne Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 Help, Where is queen of travel guide Joanne? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm here, I was doing the ironing Don't know about queen, The StartTart and Rico are better qualified than me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 I'm here, I was doing the ironing Don't know about queen, The StartTart and Rico are better qualified than me <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Too much info Joanne I've got a pile in my house needing done, get yourself along the A404 then A4 and help ! I'd put Jeffster as our Czecho expert, perhaps along with Chris Brown and the delectable Bila Hora, however am happy to pass on my experiences of my two trips to Prague. I've replied to an e-mail from Phil off-forum and haven't saved a copy, however in response to the additional questions about taxis and websites I wouldn't worry about getting a taxi around town, the tram service is superb. Only time I have used taxi's is getting to and from the airport, websites - my good friend HenryW did the booking last year - hopefully he can fill that blank.

Joanne Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 So you've had an email as well, Rico and I thought I was the chosen one Look in your inbox, Phil. Sorry Rico, can't do that job for you, I'll be on the forum this afternoon probably making a fool of myself, as usual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f-s-p Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 We stayed at the Krystal last year. I remember there was some swedes also, and of course the germans we went there with. We walked to the stadium from the hotel. Would have been a 20 minute trek if we wouldnt have got sort of lost. Ended up making a nice number 8 on nearby streets of the stadium. Theres a tram stop 100m from the hotel entrance, so thats covered. I think a double room would have been around 40€ with breakfast, which by the way was practically non-excistent!

Chris Brown Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 If you want a cheap option not to far away from Marketa I can recommend Pension Klara. I've stayed there on 4 occassions Its basic, about £25 per night including breakfast for a double room and in Holsovice about 10 minutes by Tram No 1 or 18) from Marketa. It can be found at the link below http://www.prague-accommodation.cz/ The guy to talk to is Karol Holecek whose number is +420 220 80 90 09. He speaks perfect English and lives at the pension Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BilaHora Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 (edited) All As everyone has said, the public transport system in Prague (trams and metro) are first class - quick and efficient. However, as I said before, petty crimes such as pick-pocketing and handbag theft are not unheard of on the popular tourist routes. As for taxis, you should always agree a set fee before getting into the taxi and, for preference, I would always arrange a taxi through the hotel. On the other hand, I always walk everywhere when I am in Prague (like Mr Rico taxis are for airport transfers only) and it should be possible to walk from Wenceslas Square to the Marketa Stadium in about thirty minutes.
