3- and 4-Star Hotel Accommodations

Please book directly into the following hotels by e-mail:

Hotel ADALBERT. Marketska 28, Prague 6; E-mail: recepce@hoteladalbert.cz; www.hoteladalbert.cz. Clearly the number one choice among the listed hotels.

Hotel MARKETA. Na Petynce 45, Prague 6; E-mail: Marketa@europehotels.cz; www.europehotels.cz. Again, the neigborhood is not very exciting, but a mere 12 minute walk from the Brevnov Abbey. Price per person per night: single  ca. 43 Euro, double ca. 29 Euro per person.

Please note that in most cases the room rates offered to walk-in symposium organizers were lower than rates offered at hotel web sites. The rates may vary over time due to fluctuations of the exchange rates between the Czech crown and USD/Euro.
