Arcotel Teatrino

If you're prepared to stay a few minutes away from the city centre then you can find some great deals in Prague and the Arcotel Teatrino is one of them. Located in the mostly residential area of Zizkov, the Arcotel is still within walking distance to the centre but guests can benefit equally from the range of trams which stop a minute's walk away from the hotel and take you to the centre is less than five minutes. Its also one of the easiest hotels to reach from the airport by public transport.

The building itself is a restored theatre and guests at the Arcotel take breakfast in a spectacular room between the stage and the gallery. There are also many other original pieces in the hotel including some stained glass windows. Bedrooms are large and modern and in good condition. The patterned carperts won't be to everyone's taste but they are otherwise simply styled and comfortable. All have cable T.V., mini-bar and hairdryers. The hotel has a fitness (Wellness) centre with a small range of machines as well as a sauna and steamroom (free) and massage room (charge).

As this is one of Prague's traditional districts this is a good place from which to see the Czechs going about their lives away from the souvenir shops. There are also some local points of interest such as the New Jewish Cemetery, an art-deco church and one of Prague's most famous bars / clubs - the Akropolis. There's also no shortage of local bars and restaurants all around the hotel.

Directions:
From the airport, take the public bus to Devikja and then cross over to the tram line and take the 26 to Lipinska (2 stops after the main station) which is 100m from the hotel.
The number 9 and 14 trams go to Wencelas Square (6 mins) and the 5 and 26 stop by the Powder Tower on the edge of the old town (7 mins).

NB. All rooms have en suite facilities
