Iberostar in Eastern Europe from NZ$509

"The Hotel That Quietly Wins Prague (and Your Heart) I stayed at the Michelangelo Grand Hotel twice during my Prague trip — once to kick things off (June 17–18), and again to wrap it up (June 22–23). Both times, the staff made me feel like I’d stumbled into a five-star hotel disguised as a really well-run four-star. I’ve stayed in places that cost twice as much and didn’t come close to this level of service. The front desk? Rockstars. They helped me with currency exchange, held my luggage without a second thought, and even let me check in early — which felt like a miracle after a transatlantic haul. They were consistently kind, helpful, and genuinely seemed to care that my stay went well. Honestly, if they’d offered to adopt me and let me live behind the reception desk, I might’ve considered it. Rooms were clean, cool (yes, actual air conditioning that works), and comfortable. First room was a simple queen — perfect. Second one had a queen plus a double — even better. Bonus points for the coffee maker, free bottled water, and random little coffee candies that I definitely didn’t need but definitely ate. Even the bathroom soap and shampoo were good — once I figured out the fancy squeeze bottles, which I stared at like a caveman discovering plastic. Location? Ridiculous. You’re practically tripping over history the moment you step out the door. The Franz Kafka rotating head statue? Right there. The Jewish Garden Memorial with its black granite “benches” — actually a powerful"

"Good location, breakfast and staff. Room was spacious. "

"It was the greatest stay ever! I arrived with a big problem in hand: my eSIM was not working. The front desk staff (specially Lucie) went above and beyond even using her phone to solve my problem. And breakfast had good choices, with very friendly staff. "

"Great breakfast, friendly staff members, near Metro line C. They would clean your room even at 7 pm."

"Loverly holiday spent in that marvellous hotel "

"Wow!! What an amazing place. Beautiful location on the Adriatic. Beach, multiple pools and great restaurants. Expect luxury prices. The sea view residence room we had was ideal for our family of 3. Hotel arranges transport into Dubrovnik (book ahead). We also drove in (parking is a pain) and took Uber. Great spot for some R&R to sightseeing. "

"Wonderful hotel located only a few km from city centre. We had a beautiful room on level 5 overlooking ocean. Stunning views! Great. Breakfast in fig restaurant! Thank you for accommodating us!"

"Excellent hotel, great location, friendly staff."

"Quality hotel in a great location just metres from Metro Central and 200 metres from where the walking tours start. Fashion Street is at the door and the car free area with shops and restaurants only 10o metres away. Staff were very attentive and helpful."
