Prague (Praha) in November-hotel

Hey fellow Graffiti Wallers! I need your advice. I'm having a little difficulty finding one Rick's recommended hotels available for our stay in November. I'm looking for a quiet & safe hotel or pension, close to public transportation, and in the under 80 euros price range. Besides the ones listed in Rick's book (I'm still waiting word on one), does anyone have a recommendation?

While in Prague we stayed at Residence Belhedraska 35 in apartment A1. I think it was a great bargain and I highly recommend them. We had three large bedrooms, a huge kitchen/dining room/living room area, two separate bathrooms and a tub area with two sinks and a washing machine. The kitchen had a full stove, refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker and all the dishes you could need. The living area had a dining room table and a large leather sectional. We had only four people in our group but you could have easily slept 8 there. Breakfast wasn’t included but there was a nice grocery store less than a block away. The building itself is on a moderately busy street but two of the three bedrooms face the rear of the building on a quiet inner garden area. The one front bedroom was a little noisy if you were a light sleeper but with the windows closed we had no problems what-so-ever. There is a tram stop ½ a block from the front door, and it’s only a few minutes to the Muzeum stop which is right at the top of Wenceslas Square. All of that for only $130 a night is pretty cheap I think. The Czech Republic as a whole is a good deal for travelers but lodging in Prague can be pretty spendy. There was also a computer and internet connection provided for us right in our room which was a nice bonus. Our guide thought that the place was a steal.

Residence Belhedraska also has an airport service they work with that is also very reasonable. They picked us up from the airport (the 1st time I’ve ever had someone standing in the airport lobby holding a card with my name on it, I felt special) and dropped us off at the front door for $28. For four people that’s about $7 a piece (I had help with the math) which is darn cheap compared to the other prices I saw. Residence Belhedraska made the airport pick up arrangements for us.

Thanks for the info on Prague. I'm checking into it. Also, I had a response from a Rick Steves hotel (the Lunik). Has anyone stayed there? Any info? Your opinion?

have you looked into the Hotel Metamorphis - it was really nice and very close to the Old Town Square. The Rick Steves tours use it

You might try www.a-prague.com. It list hotels and apartments of most price ranges.We stayed at an apartment just off Old Town Square. We were met at the airport and driven to the apartment where we were met by the landlord. Everything went very smoothly. Metro and tram one block away.

Meanwhile, has anyone ever stayed at Rick's recommended hotel (Lunik Hotel)? I would like to hear your comments about the Lunik.
Thanks!
