Hotel Astra — Hotel in Prague

The hotel is very good to stay without a car. I was with the car and there is only 5 places to park on the white crosses, but one parking place is occupied by the trash container at the back of the hotel and there is 4 parking places left where you can park, there is lot of cars and anyone can take your parking place when there is lot of guest or something and on this case you have to look for other parking places far away from the hotel. You are not sure to have the parking spot even if the service at the hotel says they have parking places in front of the hotel but it can be occupied. So, the minus of the hotel is parking places, to little of them and I was asked to move my car because the buss of tourist is coming and don’t have parking to park, so I moved my car at the back of the hotel, but if the place would be occupied I would be forced to leave my car very far away to the hotel and for me it was very bad to ask one client or other few to seek other parking places because a buss is coming, maybe the buss should be looking for a place to park and not throw other clients of the hotel and ask them to look for other parking spots. The breakfast was very good, service was nice, beside asking me to move the car, it was ok. They should organize better parking places if there is someone that is going with the car to the hotel to Prague. Only 2 stars because of the parking. You should fix that.

Minus : parking place, the price of the stay, is very overpriced vs quality, very thin walls, can hear everyone, don’t look good from the outside, the hotel need a good paint, repair, communist style, very old and bad elevator, there is no internet connection (you can see the Wi-Fi but the internet is not working, so you have to own and use your own data package of internet)

Plus : rooms,...

I will be honest from the start, this probably isn't a hotel I would have looked twice at had I been booking this trip to Prague myself, instead it was included in a package. In saying that, having spent two nights there, this hotel is fine. Yes the elevator is a little on the small side - maximum three people according to the sign. It was cosy with two, I'd hate to imagine where the third person would have been expected to go. The bathroom was tiny as was the room the toilet was in, but the room itself was fine. Extra pillows would have been good...||||Location wise the hotel is a five minute walk from Skalka metro station which in turn is around 10-12 minutes from Wenceslas Square so while it is certainly not central it's not too far from where all the action is. It is very residential in the immediate surrounding area.||||Breakfast was basic but enough to send you on your way each morning with food in your stomach.||||The only real (slight) inconvenience (aside from banging your elbows in the shower and when using the toilet) is the fact that you need the room key to lock the room door. That was a bit of a pain if one person chose to nip down to breakfast ahead of the other. (if the person who went took the key so they could lock the door, they would inadvertently lock the other inside. If they didn't take the key then the door was left unlocked)||||All in all, it's possibly not a hotel I would rush back to, but in saying that it's not as if I have lots of bad things to say about it either. The price was great and ease of getting into central Prague would keep it there...

A low price hotel, where the rooms are not amazing, bit for the price they are okay. They werent many outlets, and none near the beds. The wifi was weak, i ended up using data because it wouldn't reach to my bed. The breakfast was slightly below expectation, the food in general were what was expected at this price, but sometimes there wouldn't be cups, plates or even water and juices out. The day time staff was very friendly and helpful, however the night staff was extremely rude (which is mostly the reason for 3 star instead of 4). We arrived back at the hotel at around 2 am and tried to open the door. I admit this was our fault, we failed to notice the small paper written note to ring the doorbell on the side. However, the lady at the reception was way too rude and even sarcastically knocked on the window before finally letting us in. We came back the next night at around the same time, and this time we obviously ringed. We had to ring for a few minutes before the lady graciously removed her earphones and opened the door, again with the whole passive aggressive thing and knocking on the window. Either she didn't hear or was pretending not to hear when we ringed, neither is okay as it was her sole job. I don't think she should work in the service industry. Please do something about her...
