The Palace Hotel is situated about 100 yards from Wenceslas Square and so is well placed for the underground and the main shopping streets.
The public rooms are luxurious and the bedrooms large, well appointed and kept clean by the excellent staff.
Breakfast is a well-stacked buffet that is kept replenished. Prague has so many interesting restaurants that we ate lunches and dinners outside the hotel, but always within walking distance.
The staff are the jewel in the crown of this particular hotel. They speak very good English, are always friendly and eager to help and, when on my last day I left a £20 note in my room, it was waiting for me a few hours later when I returned having realised my mistake.
The only downside was the bar... okay, so it's a five-star hotel, but there is no excuse for charging international prices for local beers (60Kc for a small beer) when a bar 50 yards away charges 17Kc for a large beer.
