The Hotel K+K Central is situated right next to Powder Arch, and is a 5 minute walk to Old Town Square. The hotels grand exterior and wonderfully restored interior were beautiful and quite comforting, with many places to sit and relax while sipping a cold Budvar. The room we had booked was an executive double , which whilst smaller than we had expected, was finished to a very high standard and had a kingsize and very comfy bed. The small but well laid-out en-suite bathroom was well lit, and had a heated marble floor which felt great after getting out of the shower. The room had a good view over the city, and there was no outside noise to wake us on our lazy sunday morning. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the standard of the breakfast was good, although they still have those annoyingly small tumblers which hold just a touch more than a mouthful of juice. 50 yards to the right of the hotel is a hidden little gem, a Czech delicatessen serving weird and wonderful creations, but after sampling most of them, my girlfriend and I decided they were all delicious! A good idea if you're a first timer in Prague is to get the hotel taxi from the airport to the hotel for 850cr (£23). Our taxi driver was very friendly and talkative, and gave a brief overview of the sights as we drove past. This hotel is perfect for couples, and seems good for business travellers and single travellers. All in all, a lovely hotel with a superb location, friendly staff, and in my opinion, excellent value for money. We'll definitely be going back, but this time with a better camera.
