I will be going to the Holiday Inn Prague Congress Centre this weekend and want some ideas on where to eat nearby. I would prefer to go out for breakfast (hotels usually charge way too much!!) and evening meals when I am feeling tired after doing all the touristy things.
I would also like to check on the best route from the airport to the hotel.
Any help would be gratefully received

You should read this recent thread tripadvisor.com/ShowTopic-g274707-i96-k24011… .
I am sorry I can%26#39;t help you with finding a place for a breakfast.
Don%26#39;t miss a walk to Vyšehrad http://www.praha-vysehrad.cz/fsts.aspx?l=2 - it%26#39;s directly behind the hotel. There are some restaurants in that area.
The transport you can make surely less than 850 CZK, which is written at the sites of the hotel for transport by the hotel car from airport.
If you like public transport, you can do it by catching bus nr 119, getting off at Dejvicka (metro station, green line A), changing the line at Muzeum to the red line C, getting off at Vysehrad and going about 350 meters to the hotel (passing by the congress center and looking to nice view to Prague castle). Travel time is about 45 minutes, price 26 CZK (+ 13 CZK for every piece of luggage).
If you want to use Prague%26#39;s extensive and frequent public transport you should buy a day ticket, which is valid 24 hours, costs 100 CZK for adults and includes charge for one piece of luggage. (the 3-day ticket costs 330 CZK and includes fare for 1 child, so for you it%26#39;s better to buy two one-day tickets)

Careful about the 13 Crowns for every piece of luggage - that only counts if you have an oversized piece of luggage with you (has to be quite large). Every normal ticket allows you to take a normal-sized piece of luggage with you free of charge.

... and doesn%26#39;t your hotel throw in breakfast as well?
|||
Thank you so much for your help. I have plenty of ideas here to work on.
Unfortunately the deal we got did not include breakfast so I shall look around and see what I can find. I don%26#39;t normally fancy much anyway so I am sure there will be some cafes we can go to.

FYI the word for breakfast is %26#39;snídaně%26#39; %26#39;snee-dan-yeah%26#39;
|||
Thank you I have noted the word down for future use!
I have taken on board the information about getting tickets for a day or more. Can I buy them at the airport?
If they can be bought at a tourist place or from a machine I shall be OK.
I assume that they will be OK for the journey to and from the airport... or should I buy a separate ticket? I know at Madrid you needs to pay a supplement because it is outside the city. I don%26#39;t want to get caught out and have to pay an on-the-spot fine.

There is a public transport kiosk inside the arrival hall (open till 10.30p.m.) where you can buy your tickets, either a day (24 hour) ticket or individual single tickets. (or 3 day pass which is not worth buying unless you have children with you)
The Prague Ruzyne airport is within the city limits so whatever ticket you buy will be valid for a journey to/from the airport. The ticket becomes valid for the trip when you clip it inside the bus (just copy other people)and 26Kc ticket is good for a 75 minutes trip which will get you to Vysehrad metro stop.

About breakfast,
You will have more luck in the centre, there are more cafés and restaurants that open early than in Vyšehrad. A good option is Louvre (http://www.cafelouvre.cz/en/) they open at 7.30 and their breakfast menu is pretty inexpensive, and the place is really lovely and quiet in the morning.
For evening meals, you%26#39;ll be better off catching a bite somewhere in the centre before heading back to the hotel, you will find tonnes of info in other posts. Otherise, you can check Brewsta%26#39;s blog http://czechoutchannel.blogspot.com/ or mine http://pivni-filosof.blogspot.com/
Na Zdraví!
