Facilities
Location

Type of housing: Hotel
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: hotel
Why? Hotels in Prague are a bargain, especially with the extra cleaning and towel service a hotel offers
Personal comments:
Because of the overcrowded campus, I belonged to a group which was placed in a (lower end) hotel. The hotel offered us some more luxury than the campus facilities.
