Hilton Prague Atrium

The sheets and duvet covers had stains, and when I pulled back the blanket, I found hair from the previous guest. They also didn't replenish amenities like cotton swabs or notepads once they ran out. The room service here is far below what I'd expect in China.

About a 20-minute walk to the Old Town, 6 minutes to the metro/light rail and supermarket, and 10 minutes to the bus terminal. Breakfast starts at 6:30 AM, but the selection was the same all three days. Lots of tour groups.

Location: About a 5-10 minute walk from the train station, and the hotel is right by the river, which is great for a run. It's about a 15-20 minute walk to the city center, but that's still quite acceptable. Breakfast: The breakfast spread was excellent, and the service was top-notch.

This hotel has that classic 'old money' vibe, much like the Grand Budapest Hotel with its symmetrical architecture. It's massive, feels like hundreds of rooms. The downside is the 'square with an open center' layout, which meant our room was incredibly far from the elevator – it felt like a five-minute walk just to get there from our door. The breakfast was delicious with a great variety, and the omelets were particularly good. The person in charge at the breakfast entrance seemed to be training an intern. When we were checking out, we were rushing to catch a train, so we brought our luggage directly to breakfast from our room. At first, the restaurant manager suggested we check our bags at the front desk. I explained we were very short on time, and he handled it expertly in front of the intern. He had the intern seat us in a spot that wouldn't obstruct other guests – that was really good. However, the hotel slippers were terrible; they were so flimsy they tore after just one day. They felt incredibly cheap and completely out of line with the Hilton brand. Overall, the hotel feels very solid and reliable, with excellent basic amenities. It's grand and a good choice for a trip.

The hotel near the train station is a bit old and the rooms are tiny. Breakfast was just pickles and sausage bread, and they didn't even replenish the bottled water. For multiple nights, the front desk just said complimentary water is only for the first day. Anyway, I won't be staying there again.
