While this is Smichovs #1 Luxury hotel, it is also a real bargain in Prague because of its location. The General Hotels prices don't vary much from season to season or weekday to weekend. In 2011, the General Hotel is available from around £75 per double (€85 per double) per night. What does vary, is the price website to website, this is why we use Compare Hotels prices on this blog. One travel site has the hotel price at £75 and another, for the same room at over £120 so it's always best to use a comparison site.
