We spent half a week in Atlas Hotel Garni to visit Prague and have a day trip to Bohemian Switzerland. Hotels in the city center were very expensive and Atlas Hotel Garni was not, so we gave it a go. The experience was good, especially given the price, and we would recommend it despite a few improvement points.
Although you are definitely not in the city center of Prague, that is no issue. You are 500m away from a train station which has a direct connection taking you to the city center in 20 min, twice per hour. Furthermore, there are many buses to the city center which also have a good connection to the metro lines.
The hotel itself seems relatively new, is clean and in most aspects actually pretty good given the price. We had breakfast included, which was relatively basic but good to have. Otherwise, a small supermarket to get your own breakfast (or other things) is not far away.
The room was decent, not big, but with a (separate) bathroom and toilet. Generally we were pretty satisfied, although the shower was hard to get at a good temperature and keep it there. Furthermore, the curtains did not fully close or cover the windows, so every morning we awoke bathing in sunlight. One more improvement point would be to have a safe to store valuables in the room.
Overall, we had a good experience and would recommend a stay at Atlas Hotel Garni if you're on a budget. We hope they might take our suggested improvements in account so your future stay is...
Read moreFirst of all, this hotel is very far away from the city center and not in an interesting part of the city. The building is very basic. I booked a single room and they gave me a room on the ground floor (near the reception), so I don't know if all the rooms were that bad or it was just mine. When I came in, there was no soap, no remote control for TV, one of the light bulbs was dead and it was pretty hard to lock and unlock the door. There is no telephone in the room and they don't clean it every day. In fact, out of the 3 days I spent there, they came to clean it only once and that meant only taking out the garbage. The bed was very basic and the blanket too short. The view from the window was terrible. Water in the washstand would get warm after some time you keep it open, but no matter which side you turn (blue or red), it would always get warm, so you couldn't get cold water if you wanted it. On the plus side, there was more furniture than in most of other cheap hotel rooms, so I had plenty of space to keep my clothes and other things.||||I had only breakfast, so I can't talk about other meals. The breakfast wasn't very rich, but I have seen worse.||||Due to the hotel's distance from the city center and my busy schedule, I didn't get any time to buy a souvenir of Prague, and there are no souvenir shops in the hotel or far around. Also, a lot of staff doesn't...
Read moreStayed at this hotel for a 12 nights. The hotel is basic but it was clean and located in a safe neighborhood. The young staff were very accommodating and spoke English very well. There is a beautiful sunroom on the back of the breakfast area that is nice for relaxing in the evening. Breakfast can be purchased each morning for a nominal fee. Breakfast consisted of bread, various meats, cheeses, butter, jam, juice, coffee, boiled eggs, yogurt, granola and a nice sweet cake. It was very good and filling. The towels provided in the room are very small and thin, bring your own if you want something more substantial. Tip - the coffee machine in the lobby is very inexpensive...
