near OT Square
Billa Grocery is right there too--great for picnic stuff

We like Mala Strana (little quarter) below the castle district. There is 400yo restored bldg w/apts (walk ups)
Email Joe for rates for Delta--good location on Nerudova St nr castle steps--he can do airport trans too. Its about $30 taxi meter one way. ATM is in airport arrivals hall.

www.roomsinprague.com we had a multi-room unit

Very nice place also:
Residence Thunovska 19 next main street over from Joe's
They sometimes can discount for travel industry
A great side trip would be Cesky Krumlov 0vernight--medieval town, riverbend, sometimes you can get boat trip to get there.Or the Melk (sp?) monastery. Sister went and LOVED both.
here are some other options for accoms:
Castle apartments
Booking.com: hotel Castle View Apartments, Cesky Krumlov , Czech Republic - 65 Guest reviews. Book your hotel now!

One trick to know is that if you don't want to buy the expensive ticket/pass for the castle combined tour, just go to St. Vitus Cathedral (same complex) and it's FREE and magnificent! Do not miss it or St Nicholas.
I can recommend a great walk, too. Tram to the funicular, up the funicular, pass the tower (you can go up but no lift) walk aorund above the old vineyards and end up nr monastery and museums (we never go in) and head for castle. you can spend hours walking around the gardens and winding around if you stop to refuel at the cafes--PILSNER!! Dumplings!!

Check tripadvisor.com for the train to Berlin--I'm thinking it's 5-7 hrs?

Hope that helps.
