Hotel Monica

It's an abandoned hotel on the top of a hill. The access is terrible, to walk with your tongue out if you don't have a vehicle. It reminded me of the hotel in the Kubrick movie The Shining, with Jack Nicholson. Maybe in the 1990s it was iconic, but now it's a maintenance-free hotel. The pool without water, bricks in the background and faded and dirty walls.

No one there when we arrived. No bar. Was a pool but full of weeds not water.lawn well over grown. Very dusty. Smelt damp.steps broke in places very dangerous. People living there so using kitchen when they want. Didn't stay found somewhere else.

Medium hotel about 40mins from centre of Prague. We had to catch bus and subway to get to centre but man on recepition when we arrived was very helpful, transport cheap and runs often but I think I would have prefered to be nearer the centre. It was difficult to find initially as it's sited in what seem to be a residential area but was adequate for the 3 nights we stayed, room and bathroom were very clean, breakfast was good, but choice was limited
