Priceline Hotel: 4* Prague (West) Movenpick

[norwegianwife]

Again, in Prague, we started out trying to bid for a 5 star as I had noticed someone had gotten the Marriot for $115 the week before our dates. I wasn't sure what to expect as we are staying on a Saturday.

Bid up to $115 adding free rebid zones and increasing by $5 each time. Rejected.

Closed window and reaccesed Priceline.

Selected 4* East (as we were hoping to get the Renaissance since we are on a roll!) and bid $75. Priceline countered with the old 'raise your bid by $22 and we have something for you'. I said no, added the West zone (instead of choosing the Southeast zone which only has 2 * hotels) and raised my bid by $12 to $87 and was ACCEPTED at the Movenpick!!! Stupid me! If I had done things correctly, I most likely would have gotten the Renaissance in the East!! I was just tired as I had been getting hotels all morning as you can see!!

Anyway, we are pleased. The Movenpick has gotten good reviews and the lowest rate on the Movenpick website was 145 Euros.

I think you will like the Moevenpick... I think it's nicer than the Renaissance which is just a usual 4star.

I think you'll find my review from last summer, Norwegian. The hotel was VERY nice to me -- ask for a room on the top executive level (all they can do is say no!).

I liked being a little away from the tourist hordes in a "real" neighborhood with "real" Czechs! And the hotel is very convenient to the town center by subway. The only problem I had was that I was travelling with my kids on the subway, and they were being a little noisy (aka, pegging us as American tourists). This attracted the attention of a pickpocket. However, Rick Steves' guidebook warned me of the "subway shoving trick," so I was easily able to avoid the loss of valuables. Otherwise, the city feels very safe -- albeit massively over-touristed.
