it might have been closer to 10-12. I honestly wasn't paying attention. I'm sure the hotel car would have been super nice but I was quite happy with my uber experiences in Prague. It was 175 kr from the train station to the airport and 450 kr to the airport, both times in nice bmw 5 series.
I quoted this small part of your review because once we had a river front room on the ground floor. After a long maze of hallways and elevators we arrived to our room and I joked with the check in clerk who had walked us that they should have an exclusive elevator leading right to our door. He said something to the affect of "unfortunately we don't have that, you have to take a more complicated route" and just as he was finishing his sentence a door opened just across from the door to our room. It was the bellman with our bags and just behind him was the staff elevator. It literally lead directly to our room . The check in agent was embarrassed and apologetic, but I assured him we could manage the maze .
Indeed it was a maze. But it's better than having a cookie cutter hotel without any charm. I do wish I had had an opportunity to try all the different room types to get a different feel for them all. Oh well something to look forward to.

I actually asked about this on check out and the said that legally they are not allowed to charge in euros as it's not the currency of the Czech Republic. By the same token then they should legally not be allowed to quote in euros. Oh well. Just a quibble. 50 euros a stay can make for some nice currency profiteering for the hotel so I can see why they have zero incentive to change
