Staff
The work of employees of the Central Hotel Prague 3 (Prague) deserves special mention. The reviews of Russians who have visited this Czech hotel range from enthusiastic to sharply negative. Tourists who left positive feedback about the work of the staff most often say the following:
- Many are pleased with the absence of a language barrier. If in African or Asian hotels most of our compatriots have to convey their requests to the staff through Russian-speaking guides and travel agents, then in Central Hotel Prague 3you can easily find an employee who speaks Russian - both at the reception and among the maids. In addition, the receptionists speak English.
- Hotel staff are often described as polite and friendly people.
- The vast majority of former guests were satisfied with the level of service in the rooms and the diligence of the staff.
Nevertheless, negative statements about the work of hotel employees are sometimes also found on travel sites. What are the most common complaints from former hotel guests?
- Most of the complaints relate to the work of the administrator at the reception. This is primarily due to the daily shift of the duty officer and misunderstandings,arising from the fact that the employee who took the shift is often not sufficiently aware of the work of the hotel on the previous day. There may be confusion when checking in / checking out guests, periodically “forgetting” requests or claims voiced to the administrator the day before, and other annoying little things.
- Another, especially unpleasant feature that former hotel customers complain about is the outright rudeness that they had to face at the reception. In fairness, it should be noted that most of the administrators on duty are adequate and polite employees. But there are several separate cases described when the “woman at the reception” allows herself to speak sharply, shout and raise her voice at customers, throw a key card and other unacceptable things at the counter.
- Claims about room service mainly concern "forgetful" maids who skip daily cleaning, change of linen. It is worth emphasizing that such complaints are extremely rare.
- A note that some would consider insignificant, but worth mentioning: people who do not live in the hotel who come to visit guests are not allowed into the hotel rooms. Thus, you will have to meet friends and Prague acquaintances on neutral territory. Although the absence of strangers in the hotel is an absolute plus for ensuring the safety of guests.
Entertainment and Leisure
There are no special entertainment or events at the hotel. But they are not really necessary. As the reviews of former guests of Central Hotel Prague 3(Czech Republic, Prague) unanimously say,excursions to the famous Karlovy Vary or small surrounding towns, day trips to Germany or Austria will completely fill your days of rest and make your vacation unforgettable.
In addition, many attractions are close to the Central Hotel, right in the Old Town. For this reason, most tourists prefer to buy a guide to the Czech capital instead of organized paid excursions and travel on their own, by public transport or on foot.
