Cerny Slon is possibly the most central hotel in Prague, sitting off a small side street running directly from the Old Town Square, the city's principal tourist attraction is about a minutes walk away. You have to take the rough with the smooth, the fact the hotel is so in the middle of everything means it is likely to be both constantly swarming with tour groups and it could be a little noisy. That aside, everything you need is within walking distance - 10 minutes to the Charles Bridge, 20 minutes to the Castle, 5 minutes from Wenceslas Square - from bars and restaurants to all the salient cultural highlights.
The hub of tourist life in Prague is centred around the Old Town Square and the Astronomical Clock and Disneyesque Baroque facade...
