Having stayed at the Hotel Atlantic on many occasions as a family not a lot has changed. The lighting in the room needs updating. The room we were in this time was at the front of the hotel and was extremely warm even though the heating was off, Had to keep the windows open this did not help with the tram and road noise. Requested a fan from reception and was told that they do not have any. On my return to the room in the evening we were surprised to find a fan in the room. The location is excellent. breakfast is okey.

“Great location, excellent breakfast, but not welcomingl”

Location - excellent; close to the transport network, short walk to most local attractions - from shopping at the Palladium Shopping Centre to Charles Bridge, Old Town Square and the plethora of bars, restaurants and museums.I Room - we booked a double, get a triple, had to push beds together, but… more

Location - excellent; close to the transport network, short walk to most local attractions - from shopping at the Palladium Shopping Centre to Charles Bridge, Old Town Square and the plethora of bars, restaurants and museums.I Room - we booked a double, get a triple, had to push beds together, but it's not the same. Did not complain as arrived close to midnight following delayed flight and just wanted to sleep. Good sized, very warm, but being on the inside we were able to open the windows to cool it down. Beds comfortable but, as others have mentioned the pillows are "strange" BUT I was able to shape them how I wanted, and slept well. My wife disgusted at how dirty the carpets were, she thought I might catch something when walking barefoot. Shower - powerful and easy to control in my room, but, that shower base could be slippery. Almost fell over first time, thereafter took extra care, no drama. But be aware. Breakfast plentiful options. Was able to fill up sufficiently to not need lunch. Different types of bread, hot food, cold meats, salad, yoghurt, cakes, fruit, cereal, juice, tea, coffee. Colombian hotels take note! Nice sized dining area, and fabulously clean toilet - places everywhere take note! This how you keep a clean toilet. Facilities? No bar!! Just a "fridge" in reception area, despite there being a cosy bar area. Staff... I had been warned by a friend who lived in Prague about how "cold" the Czechs could be. Out of the 4 receptionists we saw, only one manager a natural smile and welcoming warmth one expects in the service industries. And we only saw her once. Don't get me wrong, none were outwardly rude, they were helpful just not welcoming, I've received a warmer welcome from a Custody Sergeant at Lewisham Police Station. In fact the cleaning women were friendlier! Personally, I found it quite funny so made an extra effort to say "Good Morning" / "Evening" every time I passed they reception, just to test if it was for real. It was. Pick this place for VFM, good breakfast and excellent location, just don't expect a warm welcome.

The good - location is great, walkable to all major attractions & transit right outside the door - breakfast was good, varied & sufficient - bed comfortable but pillows crush down to nothing - staff tries hard to accommodate The marginal - shower & sink water pressure quite low - water temp in shower goes hot & cold depending on other using water - shower base very slippery & they were unable to supply a non slip shower mat - carpets throughout the hotel look dirty with stains

“Clean, well located but hot (even in late September)”

Hotel room was reasonable size and clean. Bathroom looked like it had been retiled recently but the door was very tatty and stuck/grated noisily every time we moved it. The bed was comfortable but only one pillow. Needed a mirror next to dressing table. Main two problems were temperature of room … more

Hotel room was reasonable size and clean. Bathroom looked like it had been retiled recently but the door was very tatty and stuck/grated noisily every time we moved it. The bed was comfortable but only one pillow. Needed a mirror next to dressing table. Main two problems were temperature of room and shower. Standard rooms are not air-conditioned and so it was very warm even in late September (and I hate having electric fans running all night after one I used nearly caught fire). Eventually I took the duvet off and slept under only the duvet cover which helped a bit. The windows cannot be left open at night as the road is very noisy. Also, the windows are not like the website pictures - in our room they were very high and I could not reach the handle (a stool is provided for this purpose), see photo. The shower lacked power so it was hard to wash my thick shoulder length hair. The temperature also fluctuated, first becoming hot and then cold without touching the controls. Shower head was only thing that was very old and tarnished in the bathroom too. Breakfast was ok - enough options to be able to fill yourself up, but it was nothing special. Hot options varied but there were always eggs if you did not fancy the local options. We were only looking for a base for sightseeing so the hotel was in an ideal location for this, close to public transport and a very short walk from the main square, but I would look for something better in future.
