Easy Star

The building looks like a block of flats, curtains hanging of windows included. Both lifts out of order, our room was on the second floor, we took the stairs, and git an idea as to what to expect. Took us ten minutes to unlock the door as the lock kept swinging round, once opened we were greeted to the smell of smoke. A bed either side of the room, which turned out to be two benches with foam squares, which were stained, the carpet was manky and at closer inspection, we found toenail clippings, we asked to swap rooms, but were told they were fully booked and that there is no problem with our room. We left there and then and booked into a bed and breakfast in the centre of the town.

My collegues had found this hotel as a good value for money option right next to the venue, where the congress we attended took place. From the outside it's a standard building, but just as you enter, you start realizing something is not in exact order. The interior was a bit shabby and run down, one of the lifts and later even both of them weren't working. But the best part was going upstairs to our room. We lived in the second floor, so we rather took the stairs - at the first floor there was a weird fellow, dressed like a builder, just standing by the window. On the second there were about three similar men, two of which were smoking in the hallway (which smelled terribly because of this). The room was more or less clean, but I would definitely or chemically clean, or simply remove the disgusting carpet. Otherwise it was ok, except the chewing gum stuck behind the sink. Stayed three nights, it was cheap, but never going back. Hopefully.

Luckily we didn't have to stay more than 1 night here. We found ourselves at a poor room, first it looked clean but when you start settling down, taking a shower, you realize it is dusty. Out of the city, but there is a bus not so far away that helps to get in the city. Prague is a beautiful city and if you are low on budget and there is no other possibility to spend a night, book here.
