Good hotel for a short staycation.

The rooms were neat and clean, easy access to public transport (just outside is a bus stop), typical european breakfast. Would recommend this hotel if in Prague for just a few days but not suitable for longer vacations.

What could be improved: When we entered the room and checked the bathroom it was stinky. The bathroom was not very clean. There is not even a kettle to have warm water nor a bottle of water for drinking.
