I'm heading to Prague next month and I'm looking for info on hotels, pubs, things to do but especially hotels as we're trying to book that now and don't want to end up miles from town. Anybody been there before?

booked an apartment in the town for the slavia/ccfc game last season..was called the old town apartments
excellent apartments and only a 5minute walk from main square..as always stay away from the irish bars
Try to get somewhere in Praha 1 cos its the centre. As for places to go, theres a club on Charles Bridge called Karlovary Lazne, i think, and theres 5 floors, cheap beer, hot women etc so thats good. If you want to go to an irish bar, there's loads! Rocky o Reilly's on Stepanska of Wencelas Square is ok but overpriced. There a nice Mexican restaurant called Banditos about a 10 min walk from Wencelas Sq on Melounova in Praha 2. I could be here all day.... Nice food, Nice beer, nice women. Great place!
Thanks for the info. The old town apartments as mentioned by horselanger and bob look good. Usually stay in hotels but I like the idea of an apartment.

Beware of Taxi's.
Gillabbeygowl, getting overcharged by taxis is a regular thing in foreign countries, maybe here too. We politely asked our taxi driver in Warsaw last year how much our trip would be as we were wary of this. He wouldn't tell us and eventually pretty much said shag off in Polish and looked for somebody else to pick up. Trying to avoid the chancers is part of the fun of travelling. Another shifty looking guy followed us into a near-empty restaurant, started smoking at the table beside us while we were eating (it's been a while since you could do this in Ireland) and eventually tried talking to us. Maybe he was just a sociable kinda guy but his beady eyes said otherwise. We replied as Gaeilge which pissed him off no end.

Actin the sham: thanks for the compliment. Always appreciated!

Who is the girl at the end of the Frank and Walters video? The one in the house with the necklace? She looks familiar, is she famous?
Doppellanger: no idea who that girl is at the end of the Franks vid.

the hotel I stayed in was on a street called vinohradska and it was just 5 minutes on the subway from the museum. On reflection, it wasn't a great hotel, but it was very near to the city centre.
I saw a sign behind the bar in an Irish pub saying if you want a cab, ask them to call one, don't just get into one outside the bar.
They have their own currency and there are a lot of small booths where they will take your euros and give you krowns or whatever they have but they're not really good value, you're better off going to a bank.

Yeah, did the same about 6 years ago. Rented an old style 2 bed apartment on Jetna Street (I think) which is just around the corner from Wenceslas Square. There were two of us there and it only cost the equivalent of IR£11 between the two of us per night - £5.50 each, like. Naaaaawthing! And definitely stay away from the Irish bars - what's the point like? If you're into your shoes, this is the place for you. The food over there is terrific - try the carp. I'd recommend you go to a restaurant called U Cesky (sp?). Scrumptious stuff! All local cuisine and it's (was) fairly reasonable. £10 for a three course meal, bottle of wine and 4 pints Budvar...And that was for two people. Of course, you'll be paying more now but still...Oh, and don't forget to do the Absinthe ritual.
