Agreed. I booked the Hilton Servus listed. I've looked at tickets, but haven't pulled the trigger yet. I need to make sure I'm not needed that week.

Color me and Mrs Spaceman as a MAYBE. Prague has been on our list of places we wanted to visit and now maybe a great opportunity :cool:

Move me to confirmed! I can't wait to see Prague!

Flights booked (as far as LHR at present) and will book LHR-PRG soon

Look forward to this (presuming it all goes ahead as planned)

I will probably be making a reservation in the next day or two. As I will be staying for a week my choice of hotelsd becomes even more important.

Is there any advantage (other than the price) to this Hilton as opposed to the one in the Old City? It seems that the Old City Hilton is more convenient for someone who will be without a car and wants to be free to wander about the city on foot.

A search on "prague" reveals plenty of reviews for both; http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/searc...=8426022&pp=25

I guess YMMV.

As one who has lived here for over a decade, I can say definitively, you want to stay in the Hilton Old Town.

Why?

Are you bringing a car or do you plan on getting around by foot? It's been a long time since I've been to Prague, but I think being in the Old City area would be better as odds are you'll spend a lot of time there. But that's just my 2 cents, which given the exchange rate isn't worth bupkus.

Cheers.

I will be getting around by foot but if what I read on one of the threads linked above it is only a 10 minute walk from the Prague Hilton to the Old City Hilton.

Add me to the list as a strong maybe. Always wanted to visit Prague and would be even better to see it with fellow Flyertalkers:D
Now gotta look for flights!

New year, new plans
 

Well, as I flip over the calendar to 2011 I begin to focus on 2011 DOs. I have some great memories of Prague and would like to return. Please put me on the maybe list while I get organized.

I'm interested! Sign me up. Never been to PRG.

Because the one in Prague 8 is huge (largest hotel in Prague) and the one in Old Town is more inmate.

Because the one in Prague 8 is a an old and in need of a renovation and the one in Prague 1 was just totally renovated from top to bottom a couple of years ago when it switched from a Renaissance.

Because the food is just okay at the on in Prague 8 and the food is actually good at the one in Prague 1 (They no longer have a Michelin star, but the standards are still very high).

Because it's a 12 minute walk to Old Town square from Hilton Old Town versus a 30 minute walk.

Yes, I know you wouldn't actually walk from the Hilton in Prague 8, you would walk to the Florence metro and take it to Mustek than switch to the green line and take it to Staromestka and then walk back down to Old Town Square. But by the time you do that it would also be about 30 min.

Ah, well. It is too late. Based on the links that others gave me, and just before reading this post, I made my reservation at the Prague 8. (I used the HHonors VIP rate and got 6 nights for 157,500 points, which is a pretty good deal.)

I will be arriving in Prague on June 9, at 2 pm, and staying until late on June 15 (I fly out at 11:15 at night).

There is an option to have a hotel limousine pick me up at the airport for 900 CZK (roughly $48) and it has room for 3 people. If one or two others will be arriving at around that time and want to split this, it becomes a good bargain. Let me know by PM.

Meanwhile, servus, you can count me as a "definite".

Edited to add: The limousine is now full.
