We celebrated my 50th bithday with a meal at LaPearle on 26th November and it was definitely a night to remember....scrumptious food, great service and marvellous romantic views. We will definitely be back.

(Report Problem)I had such high expectations of Prague before I got there. About how romantic it is there and how great a place it was. Ok I'll will grant it is a romantic City.....but I have never ever felt so unwelcomed in any place before. The hotel staff were rude, the restuarant staff were rude, the bar staff were rude, shop staff were rude, even people you wanted to ask for directions on the street were rude. There was no level of service at all, I dont think its even in their dictionary! The impression i felt whenever i went into a place whether it be a shop or restuarant was "oh no!not ANOTHER customer", like they just couldnt be bothered to serve you and that you should go somewhere else so they wouldnt have to work up the major effort to serve you. I was offering them my money and yet I felt like I was doing something wrong. Another thing that never seems to be mentioned on other reviews is how frustrating it is to be hassled by the strip club leeches that roam every bit of the central streets trying to make you go into their strip club.....how romantic hey? No it wasnt. I certainly will never be returning back to this City....not even if you offered to pay for my ticket.

(Report Problem)I had such great expectations about Prague before I got there. Everyone kept on ranting about how romantic and lovely it was etc etc. I will let Prague have the romantic bit (to a certain extent - architecture/river/bridges were lovely but the constant leeching/nagging from countless strip club street-staff were not romantic at all and extremely anoying to say the least), but I have never ever felt so unwelcomed in any City before! The shop keepers are rude, the restuarant staff are rude, Hotel staff are rude, bar staff are rude and even people who you try to ask for directions on the street are rude. All the businesses act as if they'd rather not have your money and feels like they are trying to persuade you to take your money elsewhere. The City itself is indeed beautiful, but let down enormously but the local people in it. I will never go back again, even if was free travel and accomodation and all expenses paid.

(Report Problem)the Wenceslas Square area. Stayed in Northern Mala Strana which was beautiful. Lots of character and great pubs, cafes etc. A lot of tourisits there obvioulsy but a lot of the character has remained....unlike Wenceslas which was full of stags (nothing against them of course but not what Prague should be about in my mind). Just be careful if booking with partner as I did which area you stay...otherwise spot on.

(Report Problem)A great break for 3-4 days. The most beautiful buildings in Europe. The most breathtaking architecture. People friendly, prices fair, public transport efficient and 'tourist-friendly'. Definitely recommended.

(Report Problem)never experienced a holiday like this before anywhere in the world. I have never felt the urge to write a review before about anything but such was the bad experience over there that I thought Id warn other people. The level of service be it in a restaurant, bar or shop is the worst ive ever come across! The locals are so rude and have such a bad attitude to their jobs. they have gota be the most grumpy people in the world! everywhere we went we experienced it so it definitely was not a one off. Most of the food we ate was really salty although there were a couple of really nice places for food. Its a shame because the city is really beuatiful and interesting but the people just ruin it! didnt come across any pickpocketers and in general felt really safe wherever we went. it was just the service, absolutely dismal. was meant to go holiday to enjoy and get rid of stress. but in the end i accumulated more stress over there and was bloody excited and relieved to get back to England!

(Report Problem)2nd visit to Prague.Thought i would give it another try but once again found all the local shopkeepers and bar owners are happy to take your money but have never taught there staff any manners or how to be polite.I understand that they would be sick of all the tourist but does that not mean you can be rude to people and expect more people to visit. Beautiful city but rude people.

(Report Problem)Everyone raves about Prague so I thought I'd visit and was really excited. Arriving at the ectremely dingy and dilapidated main station was the first comedown. The second was the local people who are obviously sick to death of tourists and aren't friendly at all, the town has no atmosphere at all. The third was the tourists - absolutely everywhere was jam packed, like Florence. The architecture is nice and there's some interesting museums and galleries but apart from that I really don't know what the fuss is about with Prague.
