I have traveled to Europe at least 20 times over the last ten years, and, for the money, the Icon Hotel is one of the best hotels I've ever stayed in. I reserved a standard room and was expecting a tiny room with a tiny bathroom, but both were large and extremely comfortable. I am pretty picky about noise, but my room which faced the street was really quiet. The breakfast is unbelievable--typical of hotels that charge 15-20 euros for! And the free internet in the room is another plus.
The staff goes out of their way to help you. I'm a pretty undemanding guest, but did make two requests that required the staff to go out of their way, which they did without hesitation.
Away from the grafitti of Wenceslas Square, I found Prague to be a charming city. I stumbled upon the best restaurant I've ever experienced in Europe--John and George Cafe located in Mala Strana on the south side of Charles Bridge. Fablous salads, entrees, dessert and a bottle of wine for about $60 US for two.
There is no doubt that I would stay at the Icon Hotel again. It's location is ideal, on a side street and only 10 minutes from all the major sites.
