Here is a stay report for the Best Western Hotel Pav in Prague from December 6 to 8.

Location: The hotel is located on a small street near the touristy brewery U Fleku in a nice neighborhood of Prague, about a quarter mile from the Metro/Tram stop at Narodni Trida. There are numerous restaurants and bars near the hotel as well as the Mexican Consulate. Plus a quick walk to Narodni or Spalena streets means access to shopping and more eateries.

Hotel: The hotel is in a small building but it appears new and quite modern. The lobby area featured a bar with a good liquor selection (and a computer), small check in area and a separate breakfast room. The hotel is 5 floors (4 to Europeans) and has a tiny elevator (one of my few complaints). However, the walls are thin and it can get noisy.

Check-In: The agent on duty was very friendly and helpful and he welcomed me to Prague and gave me a map as it was my first time. Oddly, they had me write down my credit card number and didn't run it until I checked out, definitely more trusting than I would have been! Everything was done quickly though there was no mention of my [worthless] Diamond status.

Room: I've stayed at my fair share of 3* European properties and this one had the best room. The beds (two single beds = a King in Europe I guess) were comfortable and soft, there was a decent sized television with an average selection of channels (in English, Czech and German), a large closet with a safe and a very nice bathroom. The only annoying thing was the bathroom had a dispenser of "Soap/Shampoo" that was the same liquid, I wasn't a fan of that. There was also a small work area. My view was of an interior courtyard.

Other: The free breakfast was a big perk and was definitely not bad, a step above what I've found in the US. Cereal, bread, cold cuts, bacon, hard boiled eggs, some salad and a few other items as well as juice and coffee were available and it ran until 10:30 which was quite nice. Also, the desk staff were always helpful and friendly when I needed them.

My Rate was 44 Euro a night which I considered to be a very fair rate and I would stay here again. A few photos follow:

I bet you'll have a great time! If you haven't been to Prague before, drop me a PM if you have any questions or want suggestions about where to go/what to eat etc. I'd be happy to help.

Thanks CMK10, that's very kind of you. I've been there before, but it was back in 2001 or so (just before they said it'd get too "westernised"). I totally enjoyed myself, finding abandoned train stations and buildings to photograph, doing a day trip to Kutna Hora and other places with some American tourists, and enjoying Czech hospitality. I look forward to returning!
