Free wine, fruit & small box of chocolates too. Didn't take advantage of the free movie, as the TV asked me to approve about a 600 kroner charge for all the movies, this always happens and makes me nervous as I think I'd have to prove to reception I' donly watched one film, not the whole day's worth your meant to buy.
Well worth the 202eur+tax paid all in all - hopefully these upgrades are gradually getting better as the new Ambassador program is getting through to all the hotels, and the fact that you used to get automatic Plat. Status with the 6CC, but now you only get Gold (I got Plat. free when joined last December, but will hit 60k Points next month).
I Am staying here at the moment I booked a superior room also and have been upgraded to a suite too, rooms are ok very business class accomodation though it is kept very very clean mini bar prices are acceptable too, around 150 kroner for a bottle of stella and 100 kroner for a bottle of coke or evian water.
Staff seem a little unhelpful and uninterested at reception when asking for advice but the hotel is fully booked so they could be that extra bit busy änd the in room pay tv is pretty poor also 4 PPV channels 1 in German 1 in English and 2 hard core porn channels make up the ppv but there is a good selection of regular tv channels around 40 i would guess, inc CNN SKy News and CNBC and Bloomberg.
Avoid drinking at the Hotel bar though as it is very expensive around 280 for a basic cocktail and beer is not much cheaper, the hotel is what I expected business class with some nice touches, and even got my Ambassador gifts this time too so that was a Bonus, all in all its a pretty nice place very close to the square which is a 5 min walk away, most of the restaurants in the old town square have a covered area with gas heaters providing heat this is nice touch as you can have a beer outside with great views of the square and feel warming doing it considering its a 4c outside at 9pm.
So on the whole I would not hesitate in recommending IC Prague its verÿ good value, One of the couples we were talking to said they were paying over 110E a night at another hotel and had not even had there room cleaned since they arrived 4 days ago and had stale bread and ham for breakfast so for an extra few E its well worth it.
