Prague’s Carlton

AnaM — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 12:16:49 +0000

A very good hotel all round. Got a taxi to the Carlton from the airport and got booked really fast. It is close to a tram line that will take you anywhere you want in Prague. Breakfast was average and lacked on the diversity part as we constantly had bacon, eggs and sausages with either coffee, tea or fresh juice. But everything else was just great. We had this cozy and clean room on the 5^th floor with everything you ever need, but try to pick out a good room oriented to the back of the hotel, since the front rooms are disturbed by the traffic. The hotel personnel were very helpful, form giving directions to solving problems like a broken water tap which they fixed very fast.
