Good Points

Prague is beautiful.


Bad Points

I found the Czech people surprisingly unfriendly. Not rude but rather unhelpful and a little miserable. Prices are not as cheap as you think. Some things cost the same as in the UK. Be careful where you spend your money and do not assume everything is cheap. Food is relatively cheap but alcohol can be pricey. I paid £5 for a litre of beer in one place! I found the castle particularly dull and overpriced. River cruise is OK, but too long. Lots of tacky tourist shops, selling rubbish.


General Comments

The Green Lobster Hotel in the old part of the Prague has two sites and we were put in the new site which was still being furbished. The room was ok but not great for the price, considering it was 4 star. We requested a double bed and a bath, both of which were confirmed. The room had neither and the shower was terrible. The shower head kept falling off. There was a DVD player in the room but the hotel had no DVDs to rent out. TV channels were all in foreign languages apart from a music channel and the news. The hotel did offer a discount but it was hard work getting there. Beautiful city with wonderful architecture. If only London could have retained its traditional character. Excellent transport system, trams are running all the time. Charles Bridge is a must see and for an intimate romantic dinner there is a French restaurant beneath the bridge.

I would still recommend a visit to Prague just for the scenery and glorious buildings, but I would never re-visit. I think the popularity of Prague has seen an increase in prices and an arrogance towards tourists. Locals can come across complacent and just want your cash without thinking about the quality of service they are offering. Top tip, take more cash than you think you need!
