This week question

If you don’t know where to stay in Prague while Prague Open 2010 and you are not interested in self hotel searching, we recommend you two hotels with special offer.

If you like comfort living, we have a great option for you: Clarion Congress Hotel****. From hotel to dancing hall it is two tram stations and then 5 minutes by walk. Second hotel Arlington*** has a star down against Clarion, but it´s pretty close to dancing hall. It is the closest hotel in surroundings. It is only 5 minutes by walk.

Why should you choose just those two hotels preferentially?

1. Great sale for dancers a attendees (details)
2. Pretty close to Arena Sparta (dancing hall)
