Acc Nifos City Inn Hotel

( 3 stars , Prague , Czech Republic )

It's close to the city centre and to the underground Bathroom was not really clean. Breakfast is not rich

slant room cannot standing up ,small place only for a bed

We booked through Athos Travel for 86 E per night in late August 2006. We had a triple and I was impressed with the size of the room. Not huge but bigger than I imagined for the price. No bathtub, just shower, as usual. Reception was very helpful. We were able to walk almost everywhere. Buffet breakfast was ok. At night and early in the morning it could get pretty noisy. I had to use my earplugs. That would be my only complaint.

After I had read some of the reviews about the City Inn I was expecting a graffiti daubed hotel with roaches climbing the wall and surly staff that had ash dangling from smoking cigarettes. What I actually got was a basic, clean hotel in need of a paint job but not the horrors expected by some of the reviews. This hotel is quite cheap, in a reasonable area close to trams/metros/ main tourist sites. On approaching the hotel you go through the latest roadwork’s that Prague is undertaking to improve the transport network. After the initial encounter it only became a very slight inconvenience and did not detract from Prague. The hotel is just on the periphery of the regeneration and I expect this area to be cleaned up in the next few years but who knows. The hotel reception is on the 2nd floor but the lift always worked and was clean. The reception itself is quite small as are the public areas generally. The reception staff was polite and told us everything we needed to know about our stay. The room we had was a triple, and I was expecting it to be small and cramped with an extra bed thrown in, but it was large with a double and 2 singles and plenty of room to move about. The bathroom was small with a toilet, shower and washbasin. A TV was also in the room. The sheets were clean and free form tears or stains. The carpet had a stain on it but who sleeps on the floor! It was room 102 if you are interested. The view from the window was not the best but we wanted to look at the sights not the view from the hotel. The breakfast was plentiful if not a bit boring as it was the same everyday (3 days). Times are rigid 07.00-10.00. There was plenty of food but not choice, and if you like ham, cheese, bratwurst, bread rolls, brioche and as much tea or coffee as you wanted you where in heaven. The towels were changed everyday and the rooms made up well by a pleasant, efficient staff. A couple of places to recommend to eat and drink were the Hybernia café, great portions, nice atmosphere, pleasant waiters and plenty of food. It is also known as the Needle Café, which is Czech for Skewers. Try the Home made bean soup in a loaf as a starter and the chicken in Cheese Batter for main. About £5 for both. The beer was only CK30 for 0.5l; (70p) for Urquell. Another pub was the Koala which is an Irish/Oz theme but good food and good beers and plenty of choice, just round the corner from Hybernska, Senovazna Street, second left from the hotel. For a really cheap meal and beer go to the XXX bar which is by the Jindrisska Tower. It is not a sex club but a bar that serves meals and is very cheap and frequented by locals. Possibly named after the Vin Diesel movie of the same name. A couple of other points, if you are traveling in a group of 4 then use the Smart Shuttle service from the airport, drops you off at your hotel. This cost K440 but if you book your return then you get it for K400. Worked out about £21 return for the 4 of us. The kiosk to book was by the exit doors in arrivals. We went on a few walkabouts and used the trams and metro which are very cheap and very quick but not friendly for disabled visitors, but improving. Make sure you get a day pass or a 3 day before getting on the transport system otherwise you could get a big fine for not having a ticket. We went on 1 organised trip and that was the boat trip on the river. What a disappointment, it went all of ¼ mile and took an hour. Most of the time was spent turning round. Give it a miss.

I would not advise anyone to stay here. The service is the worst I have received anywhere!! I was pickpocketed at midnight right outside the hotel and had my phone and wallet stolen. When I reported this to the receptionist she was not interested. I asked for my passport and spare cash out of the safe and she refused to give them to me because I did not have a safe card even though I explained it had been stolen because it was in my wallet. I then tried to use the phone in my room to cancel my cards and phone but it was disconnected. I reported this to the receptionist but she wasn't interested and told me it wasn't her problem. She didn't even allow me to use the reception phone to make any calls.

Stayed here for three days. Three of us shared a room. The room we had was a good size, overlooked the main road but was not noisy, hotel was very clean, had a great shower and nice fluffy towels were provided. The lift made a very strange sound though.... a bit creepy! Also we tried the breakfast one day but it was very basic and didn't really enjoy it so we ate out for breakfast after that. If I return to Prague I would definitely stay here again due it being very reasonably priced but mainly due to it's location 10 mins to the main square in the old town. If you go to Prague take a look at my tips on 'Things to do in Prague' ' short stay in Prague' Our flight was late on the evening and as we had to check out of the room in the morning the hotel kept out luggage in a locked room for us until we were reading to go.

Im a believer that you get what you pay for and this is certaionly a value for money hotel Nothing flash but good clean accomadation in a location afew minutes walk from the powder tower. We had five double rooms basic but very clean with sat tv, decent bathroom with shower and it was an ideal place to lay your weary head. Breakfast was ok your standard bread jam ham an cheese.

visited this hotel for 3 nights in February, 2007. It's in a great location next to the main train station and within walking distance of all the main attractions. Excellent breakfast, clean room with no noise from the railway station next door. All the staff were friendly and helpful and well worth staying there.

The Hotel City Inn is a decent hotel, only ten minutes walk from The Old Town Square and only two minutes walk from the spectacular Obecni Dum. It's worth searching the internet for a good deal as we paid 15 Euros equivalent, less than the rack price. The room we had was adequate, as was the WC/Shower room, not like that described by a previous reviewer. The first receptionist was a bit frosty, but all the others were fine. The breakfast was bland, apart from the coffee which was the worst I've tasted in living memory. If we had stayed for more than 3 nights, we would have breakfasted in one of the many places advertising cheap and presumeably tastier starts to the day. The "Casino" under the hotel, off the station foyer, served the cheapest beer we had in Prague, a mere 16 Krowns for a pint (less than 40p UK) , but it was a bit of a dive, mainly inhabited by folk you wouldn't normally swant to share a space with. So, if you want a relatively cheap, central and adequate hotel in Prague, the City Inn may fit the bill. If you're looking for a particularly interesting and educational, but inevitably disturbing day trip from Prague, we would highly recommend Terazin, the "model" Jewish Ghetto created by the Nazis, with the sadly convenient Concentration Camp situated djacently. The bus station is not far from the hotel, but watch out as you may be crammed like sardines and deposited at a different station on the way back, insignificant as this is compared to the suffering you learned of at Terazin.

While definitely not a 3-star by U.S. standards, this hotel isn't bad considering its price (roughly $80/day for a single room) and location. The latter - within a 5-minute walk from the train station and very close to the historic centre - can hardly be beaten. City Inn was relatively clean and the receptionists, while not overly friendly, knew their jobs. Old furniture and no views from the window - not unexpected of a low-budget hotel. The free breakfast was a mixture of U.S. and European types - breads, cereal, cheeses and some cold meat. Again, nothing to brag about but tolerable. I would consider staying there again but would gladly spend $20-30 more (Priceline?) for more luxurious accommodations.
