So evidently there are, or have been, some that aren't.
Can only speak from personal experience. If anyone is planning on a summer visit, they might want to e-mail re the room assignment, though I'm guessing that any unairconditioned rooms still around are probably very few in number. (Don't know that for a fact, just guessing.)
As an aside: How much did I like Prague Hilton? Enough so that I'd almost go back to Prague for no other reason than just to stay at the Prague Hilton (especially for their main dining room breakfast buffet). Sometimes I almost consider swimming the ocean and trekking across the Alps. . . .
But for everyone, of course, YMMV. (I DID NOT like Marriot, BTW. Very cookie-cutter formal, with tasteless ads in room. Also a staff that varied from servile to hostile, with no point in between for pleasant. The opposite of the Hilton both in good taste and in civility. Again, YMMV. And IMHO.)

And IMHO.)Had two stays there in April and since it was still quite cool we were not aware of any possible A/C problems.
At the time some of the rooms( including some on the concierge level) facing into the Atrium were still being renovated, the Towers concierge warned about some noise but we heard or saw for that matter, nada.
We got a room on the Executive floor facing outward toward the river which was quite nice and more preferable anyway.
Despite possibly upsetting the Cavalieri groupies on this board I personally think the Executive lounge at this property beats that one hands down.
There were a more/better offerings and certainly much more attentive staff.
Dined one rainy night in Chop House when we did not feel like facing the elements and got the best ( and largest almost the size of a small ham
) roasted pigs knuckle I ever had, THAT I THINK IS WORTH THE TRIP mike

Getting no love in Hilton Prague
I'm staying on the executive floor of the Hilton Prague. I've been here over a week now and I have at least another week ahead of me. When I first got here, I got such a warm welcome, it almost felt awkward. Then the first few days, I was getting extra warm welcomes into the executive lounge, especially during breakfast.
Fast forward to day 10. I've been here so long now that the lounge staff no longer acknowledge my presence. They make a point to approach every unfamiliar face in the lounge, asking for name and room number, just to make sure that they are supposed to be in the lounge. But when they see me, they probably think, "oh.. that guy again" and instead of greeting me for the loyal, long term guest I am they choose to ignore me. Now maybe that is the culture around these parts, or maybe the fact that I'm the only non-white guy in the lounge and probably one of the youngest too (just turned 26) somehow brings out this reaction in them, but regardless, I'm feeling a little unloved.
Any advice for this befuddled business traveler?

They probably figure you are a regular
They probably figure you know where all the stuff is by now. Also I might add that I was there for five days once and as a middle-aged white guy felt no particular love, just efficient service when requested. The other possibility is that they did some stuff for you expecting a tip and it was not forthcoming, just a guess.

I guess its dammed if you do and damned if you dont.
Personally I would be more pissed if after 10 days if they approached me and kept asking my room number.
Think you are a little too sensitive regarding the staff attitude towards you.
( but you might need a bit of a change of scene... take the train to Vienna for a weekend ).
Providing I get the service I want and need I personally appreciate non-too intrusive hotel staff, but I suppose these things come down to individual preferences.
Generally one finds hotel staff more aloof in Europe perhaps its how they are trained and/or an enviornment most European stayers tend to prefer.
That said I had two very good stays at this property earlier this year and rate the Executive lounge as one of the best in Europe.
Relax and enjoy, Prague is a wonderful city.

5 months at the Hilton Easton Columbus, and I think they're going to start putting me to work behind the bar pretty soon!!
They even let us get takeout from nearby restaurans and eat at the bar. ^

Exactly! ^
Most Asian properties have their stuff together about a guest within a day or 2. I personally appreciate and hold the staff in high regards, if they stop asking for room number by day 2 or 3. Good morning/good evening mr.andrzej is nice to hear, but I don't need any ... kissing.... If I need to ask/talk to one of the lounge staff, I will initiate the conversation, but I don't want/need anybody asking me what's on the agenda for the day...
Recently I needed some medical attention during my stay at the Osaka Hilton. The great staff was able to locate an English speaking specialist and it all ended well. For few days after, the staff would ask me about my medical problem and if the doctors advice helped and I didn't mind, but after 2-3 days I was grateful that they stopped asking as there was no need.

Perhaps a disguise of some type. See how many you can trick, get some Groucho glasses, or one of those Rastafarian hats with dreadlocks attached. At least they'd get some amusement out of it.
