With the Christmas holidays in full swing (from 12-24 through 12-26) a lot of businesses are…read moreclosed. We walked to the western side of the Charles Bridge and wanted a respite from the cold. Luckily we saw the sign for Art Residence and decided to give it a try. It's down a long corridor so slightly tricky to find but I'm glad we did. The two ladies working were very good and got our food and drinks to us (6) quickly. I had the carrot cake and while it wasn't the best that I've had, it was still good. It was moist and had a nice amount of nuts in it. The frosting was a bit sweet, but it was a light layer so it wasn't cloying. There's room for no more than about 15 inside, but they also have seating outside. With the temps in the 20s (Fahrenheit) the inside was at capacity. I'm sure it's a bustling place outside when the weather is nicer.

I really want to give this hotel a higher rating, but it's hard when the cons outweigh the pros…read more This isn't really a hotel, but more like apartments, although what I got was a studio. It's located within a few blocks, or about a 5 minute walk (if you're a fairly fast walker) from the metro, for convenience. There are restaurants nearby, although the ones we tried weren't very good and I wouldn't recommend them. There is a small convenience store that is opened until 11 located a block away. The room we got is more like a studio with a small kitchen, some pots and pans, 3 plates, cups, and bowls for the three of us. We had two comfortable full size beds and individual lights located above the headrest in case you want to read at night. The bathroom was on the small size, although I really like the tiles on the shower (no bath tub). As for the cons, the room was on the dark side. The bathroom light is sensor, which stinks because it's always turning off when it doesn't detect motion. Hot water seems to run out in the evenings, which is when we take our showers after a long day walking about. The elevator is so small that it barely fits the three of us and our luggage (which consists of 2 large backpacks and a rolling duffel bag). And for some odd reason, I had the hardest time with the elevator button. It seems I don't have the magic touch or something, because I have to press it about a half dozen times or more before it turns red, indicating that the lift is on its way to our floor. AND, the keyhole doesn't seem to like me either because I have a hard time opening the door. The slot keeps spinning when I try to insert the key. Lastly, there is no central air, but instead there is a loud standing air conditioner situated by the dining table. If you're not standing or sitting close to it, you're not feeling the cold air. I wouldn't recommend this place unless you're looking for a cheap place and don't mind taking cold showers.

However given the steep nature of the streets, it's not a walk you would like to take everyday. Luckily the metro station is very close and quite cheap and easy.

The rooms are clean and comfortable and offer all the required amenities. Out room had an air-conditioner and we were really happy with it.

I don't know if these were built as studios two years ago and then they were converted into a hotel, but everything is done in IKEA (EE-key-Ah) and very modern. They have an enclosed bedroom through a glass slider with a seating area, kitchenette, and dining area plus lots of wardrobes. I would feel comfy here if I were on a business trip for a week. Perks, the terrace views are amazing. There is also a public terrace for rooms without terraces that has great views of the square and prague castle (the largest castle in the world). The front desk attendant who is just that was very personable and had was happy to give us suggestions, but he was no concierge. I would say that was the only negative point that this is not a full service hotel. No room service, No valet parking, the lobby is manned from 6 AM to 10PM. But have no fear, you can get fried cheese, sausages, and beer from the stand that is right outside the hotel lobby. The hotel is also just a few minutes to the Mustek underground station where you could get to anywhere in Prague from or you could walk right to Old Town Square or jump on a tram to the castle.

I was not- until she told me about how European women go to Prague for the latest beauty treatments. I decided to do research and visited a few- and decided on Mediestetik. Their state-of-the art offices and caring staff made me confident that I picked the right place. I decided on Fraxel, which I had done in S.F. and NYC and cost a few thousand dollars. Mediestetik was a fraction of the price. The staff is excellent. They speak many langauges and accomodate a variety of patients from around the world. The treatment was at the same level or higher of what I received in the USA. it was less than an hour, included follow up and topical medications, and healed BEAUTIFULLY.
