Hotel Aaron

I asked Booking.com before leaving the States whether the hotel would accept VISA in payment of room fees. I got an e-mail back saying it would. The hotel was categorical, however, that payment had to be in cash, by either Euros or Czech crowns. Paying by cash was not convenient for us but we did it. So--plan on an all-cash transaction situation in European currency. On the positive side, the room was as-described. It was reasonable in size, even a little larger than most European hotels of this level. The staff cleaned the room every day and were very friendly. Breakfast (self-service buffet) is included in the rate and it was very good. The hotel is not in city center but it was just a block away from a subway entrance. Getting into town was very easy and quick, but it did necessitate purchasing Metro tickets. Plan on having pocket change for the ticket machines, or else you will have to buy tickets at a tabak (two are located just outside the subway entrance but they are not open early in the morning or late at night). The neighborhood was very quiet and safe. Several nice restaurants and a good supermarket are nearby. All in all, I would recommend this hotel. I plan to stay there again on my next trip to Prague.

Pros: It is in a quiet and safe residential neighborhood, and very close to Line B of the subway system (three or four stops from city center).

Cons: This hotel does NOT accept dollars or credit cards in payment of charges. You have to pay in cash, by Euros or Czech crowns.
