Prague, great city. Beautiful. The Mamaison Residence Hotel was GREAT! My wife and I had a one bedroom apartment with kitchen, stove, utensils, pots, pans, dishes, dishwasher, dining table, living room with flatscreen TV, DVD player, bathtub, comfortable king bed, coded safe for valuables, and free washer/dryer facility, pool table, small fitness center, and sauna in the basement. Detergent can be purchased from reception for .50 cents per load. DVD's can be rented for about $4/night.
The staff are great. Really helpful. Very polite. They speak English very well. Very accommodating. They can arrange taxi service for you at the regular rate. From the cleaning people to the reception staff to management, these folks were wonderful.
The area around the Mamaison is residential. There are grocery stores, cafes, restaurants, and pubs all around the hotel. The Havana restaurant was very inexpensive and delicious. Matylda's Restaurant was wonderful. Best duck, red sauerkraut, and dumplings we've ever had. At only $11 a plate too.
Subway station, like the restaurants, was about a 5 minute walk away. Tourist sites are 2 or 3 subway stops away.
The area was quiet except for Friday night. The pub around the corner had some loud people at closing time. Yet, no so loud as to be much of a nuisance.
If you're looking for a comfortable, clean, safe place to relax in Prague, do yourself a favor and stay here. It's a great place.
