Hotel Ariston & Ariston Patio - Prague

Overall, a very nice hostel. Clean, good location and an AWESOME rooftop patio/Kong’s with drinks and music. Friendly, multilingual staff that spoke English, French, Spanish, etc

Clean, comfortable, walkable distance from a bus stop

Very happy with my stay, good location and it had a great breakfast. I emailed the hotel with my flight info they had us picked up at the airport, it worked well and I am happy with that but I would have liked an email back from them to confirm the ride so I would not have been concerned "if" or "if not" the ride had been arranged.

Our room overlooked street with trams & traffic. There was no air conditioning & we found the room stuffy, which required us to open the window. This allowed smog to enter, & much noise from street. We had some difficulty with shower head, but no maintenance avail. maybe because of Easter long weekend.

The service was friendly and helpful, breakfast was huge and delicious, and the overall hotel was nice, with a grand old world charm for an inexpensive place. Our room was located across in the patio building, with a door opening to the outside, not a hallway. The room was fine, except for the horrible air freshener that, presumably, was intended to cover a mildew smell. It was bad. We tried to open the door and windows to air it out, but that was tough in January. The room was otherwise very clean, but the air freshener/cleaning product small was so bad it gave us headaches, and lingered in all our clothes and luggage, meaning we had to launder everything at our next stop. The local area was a little sketchy (graffiti, litter, etc) at night and when things are all closed on New Year's Day, but close to transport and convenient, and came alive a little more when all the businesses reopened. We didn't mind the neighborhood, since it was so easy to get into the city center and the train station. Out of a month-long trip around Europe in the same budget-level hotels, this was the only hotel we had any problem with, and it would have been fine without the stinky room. The lobby and reception staff were just lovely, and breakfast was tasty with a LOT of options.
