Tobacco Everywhere
For devising cigars, baccy is full-grown all circa the world, from Poland to South Africa, from Argentina to Canada and, westbound, from Philippines to Mexico. But smoke tobaccos are first and foremost fully grown in the intertropical areas.
Tobacco Origin
Tobacco is known as a works originally from America. Some taxon were known in South Pacific. There are masses species and varieties. Not all of them are used in smoking products. Many are mature as pleasing to the eye foliage as they are oft blooming, showing colours from white to bleak red and violet.
Here are any of the countries in which tobacco is grown, to construct your cigars.
Argentina grows misty air-cured drug of abuse in the provinces of Misiones and Corrientes, and vent cured street drug in the district of Salta. Misiones has also a harvest of Burley genus. These tobaccos are fundamentally for cigarettes but Corrientes is satisfying for stout sealing material cigars because of its full aroma. Argentina utilised to be a big initiator and businessperson but changes in the economic and returns tax policies have gravely busted the production, fashioning the baccy too dear to be rivalrous on the supranational open market. Consequently, amount produced volumes have attenuated.
Brazil is one of the large world's tobacco producers. The East Central State of Bahia is an critical roll of tobacco drug of abuse rapidly increasing area, roughly 100 miles westerly of the enumerate capital, Salvador da Bahia, an active left on the Atlantic Coast. The Northern State of Alagoas hosts a amount produced nigh on the inner-city of Arapiraca where maduro cigar wrappers are mature. The Southern states of Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina green goods baccy for cigarettes and tubing.
Cameroon smoke wrappers are big in the East sector of the pastoral. The growing municipality spreads concluded the eastern border, into the Central African Republic. Wrappers are air grown, minus fertilizers and pesticides, by small farmers. The intermediate acres extent is roughly speaking one square measure. The nut is primitively from Sumatra, introduced in the territorial division newly after WWII. Grown original for French Monopoly needs, the plant product was offered on the international market once production was too hulky for this single use. Well rewarding by European manufacturers and plumping American cigars companies, Cameroon peignoir productivity born downhill during the past due 1980s, due to mediocre social control. Today, quantities are littler and power could be superior.
China is by far the largest drug of abuse producer, beside generally 5 zillions metric wads. USA follows with astir 1 cardinal metric slews. Chinese drug of abuse is a flue-cured type, not aromatic and a bit sour in love. This tobacco is not applicable for cigars. It is by and large previously owned for district cigarette ingestion. A littler amount is exported. Cigarette industries introduction the plant product and use it as a neutral and twopenny filler.
Connecticut, USA
The Connecticut Valley, in the Northeast of the USA, is all right noted for its radiant sickly smoke neglige. Because of a enormously hot and bright summer, the plant product is dusk big. Whoever has flown terminated Hartford, CT, sitting subsequent to the window, could not go wrong to have seen the infinite white acreage of estate upright all around: the drug of abuse comedian immersed with light wear to treasure the flora from the conduct sun energy. And the grand barns, immense like-minded cathedrals, prompt for the vent solidifying. Impressive!
Tobacco grows all crosstown Cuba. Your premium roll of tobacco has been made, I hope, out of street drug coming from the West administrative district of Vuelta Abajo, where on earth a genuinely great fabric is harvested. In Central and East Cuba, the provinces of Remedios and Oriente yield baccy that is not so-called to be unexceptionable for what each one calls a Havana!
Dominican Republic
Dominican Republic is a established tobacco-growing province. In the 60's, a Cuban nut was introduced and the resultant baccy (Piloto Cubano) became popular as a good fall-back of the Cuban tobacco that was no longest allowed to get into the USA. Exiled Cubans did a excessive job within. Piloto Cubano is a overfull bodied plant product but, maybe, is not there few olfactory property. Blended near Olor dominicano type, much aromatic, Piloto Cubano makes the 100% land smoke a fundamentally respectable cigar. Both Dominican types are apt components for multi-origin blends.
East Mediterranean Countries
The Eastern countries of the Mediterranean Sea are committed to the civilization of Oriental species tobacco, which is sun-cured. Greece, Turkey and Bulgaria are the basic producers, but Lebanon, Syria, Macedonia, and Romania are as well increasing. This baccy has atomic leaves, which are sometimes solitary 2 inches extended. The sun curing gives them a xanthous color and advanced sweetener self-satisfied. Aroma is generally wealthy and a stunted quotient of asian tobacco in a mash brings a lot in the taster. This baccy is not used for hourlong filler cigars, but lonesome in stumpy filler cigars and cigarettes.
Ecuador is the clean set down to burgeon wrappers, because it is situated on the Equator! And it has rich soils too. The weather conditions, near a near ageless indistinct sky, deal in a raw shade, protecting the peignoir vegetation from sunlight and allowing the street drug to burgeon wafer-thin and reading light. Ecuador rations Connecticut and Sumatra genus wrappers to galore cigar manufactory in the worldwide.
Honduras has built up a moral repute in production most excellent cigars. The country is a fairly minute drug of abuse originator and the cigars are predominantly made out of foreign leaves. However, Honduras has a beautiful better promise for escalating tobacco, peculiarly wrappers, and could change state a prima participant in the in store.
Tobacco is fully grown in many islands of the Archipelago but, as far as cigars are concerned, Sumatra and Java are the ones. Sumatra Wrappers are familiar intercontinental. Central Java (Vorstenland) and East Java (Besuki) breed fillers and wrappers in bounty. Indonesia is a key rural area for smoke tobacco.
Dark air well tobaccos are make in Mexico, first and foremost in Vera Cruz and Tampico provinces, on the East Coast on the Golf. There is also both amount produced in Yucatan. Previously a publicly owned operation, it is now handled by head-to-head individuals and cooperatives. Mexican street drug is exceedingly dark and the cream of the crop leaves can be in use as maduro wrappers. In San Andres de Tuxtla (Vera Cruz), at hand is a intensely unputdownable industry of Sumatra fruit wrappers.
In Philippines, drug of abuse increasing is concentrated in the Northern segment of the primary land of Luzon. Traditionally, darkling street drug for cigars was full-grown and Philippines' cigars were severely famous, below the almighty Compania General de Tabaccos de Filipinas. They in all likelihood declined because they were too clement. Today, Philippines motionless grows unlit street drug and has modern a industry of flue-cured drug of abuse for light-haired cigarettes.
Zimbabwe is among the top iii countries for soaring competence fluke healed plant product (with the USA and Brazil). The trade stoppage that hit the country, once it was yet Rhodesia, did not upset the amount produced. It made the Rhodesians more than originative and they went on producing. At this time, Zambia and Tanzania, the close countries were mercantilism a lot! When the import barrier was raised in 1980 allowing us to do business directly, we discovered a mesmerizing managing and equipment, the most select in the planetary. Tobacco was the top diversion of the terrain and feat a job in plant product was a state of affairs for umteen early men. The actual Zimbabwean agricultural principle , which we won't dispute here, will in all probability thump this land off the detail of baccy producers. Cigar commercial enterprise will not undergo as flue-cured tobaccos are as a rule mixed up. Brazil should be the primary church property of this setting.

The Indian Under-19 team produced a fantastic all-round performance to decimate South Africa U-19 by 201 runs in the final and lift the quadrangular ODI series trophy in Vizag on Saturday.
Put in to bat, India colts made 267 for six in their 50 overs before bundling out the South Africans for 66 in 28.1 overs. Mumbai's 15-year-old wonderkid Sarfaraz Khan starred for the hosts with an unbeaten 67 and a couple of wickets to his credit.
It was a near-perfect performance by the Indians, who suffered just one loss during the tournament, also featuring Australia and Zimbabwe.
After being sent in to bat, India did not make the best of starts with opener Ankush Bains (1) departing when the team had just three runs on the board.
But other opener Akhil Herwadkar (25) and skipper Vijay Zol (71, in pic), steadied the ship with a 51-run second wicket stand.
The partnership ended when Herwadkar was dismissed by Justin Dill in the 15th over, caught by Yaseen Valli. Herwadkar's 46-ball stay featured a four and a six.
The dismissal, however, did little to unsettle the hosts, who relied on steady contributions from their middle-order batsmen to build a good score.
Zol shared a 61-run stand with Ricky Bhui (46) before walking back to the pavillion after becoming Hayes van der Berg's only victim.
Following Zol's wicket, Sarfaraz, who smashed a hundred against the same opponents earlier in the tournament, walked in and continued his fine form with his 58-ball knock, which included half a dozen fours.
He was given a good support lower down the order by Deepak Hooda (32).
For South Africa, Dill was the most successful bowler with three for 63 from his 10 overs.
Chasing the target, South Africa could not have imagined a worse start as half of their side found itself back in the pavillion in less than 20 overs with just 51 runs on the board.
Number three Jason Smith (23) and skipper Yaseen Valli (13) were the only batsmen to touch the double-digit mark in a shambolic performance by the team's batsmen.
Three of their batsmen failed to get off the mark while the rest of them were literally stifled by the disciplined performance of the Indian bowlers.
The Indians shared the exploits in a superb bowling display during which Aamir Gani led with three for 18 in 5.1 overs.
Sarfaraz and Kuldeep Yadav picked up two wickets apiece rounding off a brilliant day for the hosts.
Brief scores:
India Under-19: 267/6 in 50 overs (Vijay Zol 71, Sarfaraz Khan 67 not out, Justin Dill 3/63).
South Africa Under-19: 66 all out in 28.1 overs (Aamir Gani 3/18).

Effective April 10, 2013, the state of Florida made changes to its Game Promotion Statute. The changes were made partly in response to the state's recent ban of so-called Internet sweepstakes cafes. READ MORE
It might not occur to you to think about civil rights act compliance when planning an in-store or retail promotion – but that's just what the state of California requires. The Unruh Civil Rights Act is a California statute that specifically prohibits discrimination based on sex, race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, disability, medical condition, marital status, or sexual orientation.

Internet and mobile advertising is subject to the same rules as anything else, the Federal Trade Commission recently assured us in a detailed 53-page booklet.

When someone wins a trip in a sweepstakes or contest, they usually expect that the prize will be for two people so they can bring a travel companion along on their journey. If your promotion requires winners to fly solo, you need to make that very clear in the rules and any accompanying advertisements or other promotions. READ MORE

Taking Your PMO to the Next Level: Four Steps to Value Improvement
There is no "one-size-fits-all" PMO. Each is as unique and specific as the corporate culture it supports.
According to the Dictionary of Project Management Terms, 3rd Edition, a project management office is an "organisational entity established to assist project managers throughout the organisation in implementing project management principles, methodologies, tools, and techniques. In most implementations, the project management office is a support function and is not responsible for project execution. Its main objective is implementing effective project management practices throughout the organisation." (Ward, 349)
Not specifically stated, but rather implied in the definition, is the notion that the PMO is the instrument through which an organisation successfully deploys project management. A PMO, like project management itself, is a means to an end, not the end itself; and, as such it is strategic in its purpose and objective. The "end" is whatever business outcome and results the organisation has identified as being critical to its survival.
Where we have a "high-performing" PMO, the entire organisation and its clients reap the rewards: Projects are delivered on-time, within budget, and meet stakeholder expectations and requirements. Keeping in mind that the primary role of the PMO is to provide the structure and expertise required to improve an organisation's project success rates, it is useful to step back and review the key functions of the PMO.

Positive Thoughts: Growing Pains
The Future of HIV Remains Hopeful
By Jeff Berry
Originally printed 3/2/2017 (Issue 2509 - Between The Lines News)
These are uncertain times we live in. When daily messages of hopelessness and despair fill your newsfeed, there may be a temptation to shut down and tune out, or to return to old, self-destructive behaviors in an effort to cope.
If you just tested positive, you might be thinking it's the last straw. But I need you need to know...you will be OK. You're going to be OK.
If you're a long-term survivor of HIV, you've come a long way, baby. Don't give up now. We've come too far to be defeated this easily.
Lately, I've been reading up on something called post-traumatic growth. Research shows that many people who face trauma, adversity, or other life challenges actually report positive benefits, becoming stronger and having a more meaningful life in the wake of tragedy or a life-altering experience. We've seen this played out time and time again in HIV, where people turn their life around, and find meaning in their lives by helping others.
There are numerous instances of life after testing positive that are uplifting and inspiring. Take Magic Johnson, for example. He used his diagnosis to raise awareness about HIV, how it's transmitted (and more importantly how it's not transmitted), while providing hope to many of us living with HIV that we can still live
a full, happy and healthy life. AIDS activist the Rev. Rae Lewis-Thornton is another inspirational figure, someone who has been living with AIDS since the 1980s, yet uses her remarkable journey and life story to help inform others, especially youth, about HIV and AIDS.
HIV stigma still remains a stubborn issue, unfortunately. It's important to understand the many layers of stigma, if we are ever truly going to put a dent in the alarming number of new infections taking place in many of our disadvantaged and disempowered communities.
So whether you just tested positive, or are a long-timer like me, I encourage you to try to take your adversity and mold it into a strength. Taking control of your life and making healthy choices, helping you to become informed about HIV treatment so that you can advocate for your own health, or the health of someone you care about, can be your first step toward a new, more meaningful life.
The HIV treatment landscape continues to evolve. For those who are newly or recently diagnosed, one pill once a day with few or no side effects is pretty much
a given these days. But it wasn't long ago that we had to take handfuls of pills several times a day, with horrible side effects like diarrhea, bone loss, kidney stones or, worse, lots of restrictions and qualifications on when and how to dose our meds.
When all is said and done, though, the future of HIV treatment looks bright, with more effective and more tolerable medications (no more "me-too" drugs); long- acting injectables being studied for treatment and prevention; two-drug single-tablet regimens; and new co-formulations of existing medications, all on the near horizon. Drugs that attack HIV using different targets and new delivery methods could help those with resistance or who are struggling with adherence, but challenges remain. The availability of generics could alter the landscape even further, with new generic single-tablet regimens coming soon to a pharmacy near you, potentially reducing the costs of these expensive medications.
With recent reports that the overall rate of new infections are actually falling in the U.S., largely due to Treatment as Prevention (TasP, or undetectable equals uninfectious) and the rising use of daily oral PrEP for those who are HIV-negative to remain negative, the future of HIV in this country looks hopeful. Efforts to increase awareness about the benefits of testing and treatment for HIV, with no stigma attached to being aware of your status - along with the movement to rescind laws in certain states that criminalize HIV transmission, coupled with advances in HIV cure research - will keep us on track to one day eliminate HIV once and for all.Jeff Berry is the editor in chief of Positively Aware magazine, and Director of Publications at Test Positive Aware Network in Chicago.

UofL-Texas Southern Pressers
Here are the press conferences from after todays 102-71 victory over Texas Southern which happened to also be Coach Rick Pitino's 400th win at Louisville! Shout out to TSU Derrick Griffin and his monstrous double-double! (15 pts, 26reb). Now it's time to get ready to watch Lamar in NYC!

Louisville at Grand Canyon: Postgame Recap
The atmosphere was electric, the players were hyped, and the Antelopes of Grand Canyon gave the No. 14 team all they could handle inside their home arena. Grand Canyon even had the lead at halftime by 1 point off a buzzer-beater NBA-range 3.
It wasn't enough as the Cards eventually pulled away by the 12 minute TV Timeout and never trailed the rest of the way. Eventually the Cards would seal the deal by a score of 79-70. DeWayne Russell led the comeback attempt with 42 points, the Antelopes' next highest scorer had 8. Deng Adel led the way for the Cards with 15 points, VJ King showcased his ability with 14 points, Ray Spalding chipping in 14, and Matz Stockman had a career-high 10 points but didn't play in the second half.
In a game where the upset seemed not only plausible but probable for much of the game, the Cards found a way to win. Do not downplay anything about it, the crowd was nuts, their point guard was unconscious, and they played with a lot more energy in the first half than the Cards did. The important thing is, the Cards walked away with a win and improve to 7-1.
Next the Cards will be at home to take on Southern Illinois on December 7 at 7pm. I'm sure this game will serve as a wake up call that this team cannot start flat and must defend and attack for the entire 40 minutes if they're going to achieve their potential. I'm happy with the win last night, resilience regardless of opponent in an environment like that cannot be emphasized enough.

Rick Pitino: Fear Factor
I'm gonna share some excerpts with you in a few about a column by Eric Crawford in a few about the NCAA NOA and a line of defense Coach P has been using in just a second. First I want to share some personal experiences I've observed first hand. There is the whole Coach P knew angle. You all know that I had a few friends that played at Louisville between 05-08. I went back to finish my degree at that time not only to get my degree but because they were going to school too. I was at Minardi Hall pretty much every day for 4 years. I seen foolishness attempted and it was all met with big consequences. One of my buddies was late to practice & ran on the treadmill for hours plus lost his playing time for months. He didn't mess up again. The point being, there definitely is a fear factor going on at UL & it's in a positive way.
Here is an excerpt from the article by Eric Crawford. (Click on excerpt for link to full article)
Four UofL Teams Among National APR Leaders
(PRESS RELEASE Kenny Klein)
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Four University of Louisville athletic teams are among the nation's leaders within their sport in the most recent multiyear Academic Progress Rate (APR) data released by the NCAA.
Louisville Is Nothing But Net (Worth)
It's may not be another championship but it's something worth being proud of. For the umpteenth consecutive year the UofL Cards made the list of the most valuable programs. There was something surprising on this list. Louisville was one of 10 ACC teams in the top 50 of College Basketball schools with the most net worth. 4 out of the top 10! A-C-C, A-C-C….I think that's how the football conference down the road does it. Where did Louisville land on this list?

Our fione friends at collegespun.com released a list Monday of their predictions for the next 10 NCAA Champions. I love prediction pieces like this because it is fun to do.

March Sadness: Last Rick Pitino Blog Of The Season Plus My Thoughts
As I prepared to post today's blog I searched through the annals of CSZ for a picture of a happy or a relieved Rick Pitino. I didn't find many. The one I did find brought some peace into my heart. Everyone is fighting each other, arguing or just being nasty about the situation. Why I ask? We can't change anything. We can only move on and do better in the future. I believe that Coach P is our future. I have been around Coach P. I know how strict and how generous he is. I know how much he cares for his current future and past players. He took his time out to talk to a friend of mine who was battling with cancer on game day just hours before the game. Coach P deserves a reset. I hope we as a fan base allow him to relax, reset and reload. With that being said here is Coach Pitino's final blog of the 2015-16 season. via SID Kenny Klein. Go Cards!

The neighbour of Tia Sharp's grandmother was today convicted of wasting police time at Croydon's Magistrates' Court after giving a false statement that he had seen Tia walk past his house, when she had been murdered by Stuart Hazell.
Paul Meehan, a bus driver who lived next door to Tia's grandmother Christine Bicknell, told detectives investigating her disappearance that he had seen the schoolgirl outside of his New Addington home on 3 August 2012. He told officers he was "100 per cent sure" that he had seen her. The last confirmed sighting of Tia was on 2 August at 4.30pm.
She was murdered some time between that evening and the following morning.
The court heard that he gave police a "vivid" description of the clothes he said he had seen Tia wearing.
Jocelyn Ledward, prosecuting, said Meehan had "deliberately lied", and may have wanted to be in an important position in what was then a missing persons inquiry.
She said it was possible that he was attention seeking and was "puffed up" by being important to the search.
Meehan, 40, said he had "confabulated" seeing Tia - his brain mistakenly filled in the blanks in good faith.
Meehan was convicted of "causing wasteful employment of the police by making a false report". District Judge Karen Hammond said Meehan was unreliable.
She said: "I am satisfied so that I am sure, that is to say, beyond reasonable doubt.
"The offence is made out.
"The verdict therefore can only be one of guilty."
The court heard there was no suggestion Meehan was in league with Hazell, who was jailed in May for a minimum of 38 years for Tia's murder.

I've been to Bannock way too many times for first dates, so I'm in search for a change of pace! :)
I'd like something similar in that I like Bannock's 1) atmosphere, 2) quality of food, 3) price point, and 4) downtown location
Anything similar to Bannock in those regards for a first date? Thank you!

Much better to just use ./run and run everything from the local copy, so: ./run ./sysprep/virt-sysprep --firstboot foo.sh -a disk.img (with sudo if it needs to run as root to access the disk).

I have a feeling that I am just missing something simple, but the Microsoft Hyper-V manager does not seem to play well when the client is in a different subnet from the host, and generates an RPC Service not available error. The firewall between the subnets is wide open. If someone can point me in the right direction to get access from various subnets I would appreciate it.
3 Replies
Nov 4, 2010 at 3:34 UTC
The only time I've ever hit the RPC error is when I had some packet loss between the sites. In fact, many times the server I have at another site loads before the local ones do...which has confused me!
Otherwise, maybe a firewall (hardware or software) blocking some of the ports it needs?
Nov 4, 2010 at 3:55 UTC
That would explain why I haven't found many relevant articles, I am looking in the wrong place. I will troubleshoot as a firewall problem instead of a Hyper-V configuration problem and see where that takes me.
Nov 5, 2010 at 1:58 UTC
1st Post
I have run into the RPC service error many times in my short experience with Hyper-V.
A few things that i check are whether WinRM is configured to accept connections and the service is enabled, or check the authorization manager to see if the user account has the correct permissions (or you could just add the user to the local administrator group on the hyper-v host)

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
The pool and sauna Bar staff were a bit rude
The swimpool and the beautiful surroundings in Harrachov The room was a bit small for 3 persons
good amenities, clean rooms, good wellness centre zero english spoken by anybody in the hotel, german spoken by everybody however? rude bar staff, reception unable to provide me with any information as they did have even a basic understanding of english
hotel was clean, lovely bedrooms and very quiet, good breakfast
Equipment, comfortm service and employees. Renovated in 2006 Location is a little far from station - 600 m. But manageable
Wellness centre Reception staff
The location was excellent.
Unfovarable currency rate for invoice. (Currency spread is about 10%). So if you book with EURO-price you must add near 10% to the room rate.
The hotel offers a comfortable stay in a lovely setting. The breakfast is varied and frequently replenished, bar prices are not unreasonable and the rooms come well-equipped. The staff, despite having a very large number of guests to see to, were always friendly and happy to help. Overall a very pleasant stay - we will definitely return to this hotel! A minor point: there was nowhere to leave our luggage on the last day of our stay after we had checked out and before we were able to board our bus home. We were instructed to leave it in a disabled toilet, which seemed odd. Nothing was stolen and we were able to retrieve our cases just fine, but it's the first time I've stayed in a hotel that doesn't have a dedicated luggage store and I was a little worried about our bags during the time that we were away from them.
A very nice design hotel surrounded by rural czech landscapes in a little town in the north. Good quality for an Ikea based room decoration. Only negative point: the booked Luxury-room was not any more available at our arrival and we really had to be very persuasive to get a double room instead of the triple room the guy at the reception board proposed. In the future, how can we do to be absolutely sure to get the booked room on Booking.com?
It is very quiet there, the hotel is brandnew. Staff are friendly, breakfast is excellent compared to other Czech hotels. Very short connection to the highway. bathrooms are small, at least a place for the toilet-bag would help.
Nice and new. Good restaurant. Modern rooms. Guys in the restaurant very helpful and with good English. Breakfast is a good value for money Very soft beds, girl at the reception desk with poor English
Good place to visit the area. Clean rooms. The rooms are very small. No chair in the room. Noisy hotel. The hotel is not ready. There's no terrace, no children´s play area and no garden with benches. There's no stylish restaurant yet. We don't recommend the hotel. Maby next year when it's finished?
Very nice crew Only Thai and Japanese dishes
I had a great deal of difficulty in securing a replacement for a missing HSBC credit card and the staff was helpful in getting the HSBC office to send along a relpacement. Unfortunately, although they claimed the card was mailed to me at the Plytoun Hotel, it never arrived, despite the staff's efforts. it was a bit far from the center of Liberec.
this is a new hotel the location is very far from the city center and no lift
Loved the room design, very clean, friendly and helpful stuff. Can't but recommend. Would and will certainly stay there again.
I was really nicely surprised by this place .The studio had modern design and was wonderfully equipped with all needed things.We spend a very good time there.There was a very nice girl at the reception office. I liked everything except the workers buzzing almost every day from the morning just behind the window
The location was fantastic. The appartment's room was very comfortable and clean, friendly hotel staff
The place is great, cherful smiles and excellent accomodation. Although english is poorley spoken and german is the main second language in Harrachov, yet the english was well spoken by the Reception. The hotel is well placed in the forrest, a little difficult to acess, but all what is advertised is tehre (sometimes is rare in Czech R). Excellent place for quiet break in summer or active ski break in winter. Price is extremely reasonable. I recommend crossing the border to Polland as the first town on the road is very interesting. The city people in Harrachov did not know the place of the hotel and was a bit difficult to reach for the first time.
The hotel is quite new and cozy. It has underground parking. Technical staff and staff at the reception who speak good English were very good. Some people from the staff did not speak English. Beside this those people were not friendly and willing to help, and they made a difference between Czech people and foreigners. For family with small children elevator would be good. We really miss some elevator.
We liked nature around hotel and new and modern equipment and facilities, primarily kids playground and waterpool. Also there is a shop with all necesary stuff nearby. The reception is very kind and cheerfull. For the small repairs in the room (screwhook in the bathroom) we had to wait more than 3 days, we had to repeatedly press on quality of cleanup (the towels was not changed, the carpet was not cleaned, ...) even it is for additional charge and we wanted to pay it. Also lifts missing in the hotel but they are working on it.
extremely polite staff, excessive number of facilities (whirlpool, sauna, playroom, salt cave, underground parking, computer room, meeting room). Rooms are robustly equipped with kitchen apparel as well as Sat TV, LCDs, LAN Internet. Everything is new. Location is 15 minutes walk from the ski lift, 10 minutes walk to the centre. But this is quite OK. Breakfast is very simple.
modern and comfort nothing
Cleaness of rooms and modernity. Kind staff English speaking. Tottaly recomended. Only cable Internet -no wifi. Sauna was extra. Not easy to find it as there are no streeet names (just for the first time).
Everything was new & clean. Small but good swimming pool. No dish washer. There are 2 sizes of maisonettes, we had the smaller one. This one had a living room but just a small window.
Location was very good, internet speed was quiet good. During my stay, until 2:00 at night, there was terrible noise in the bar, lst floor. So I couldn't sleep well. I called 3 times to reception but no one pick up and last call one staff picked up finally, I complained to hotel staff about the terrible noise from the bar, but she said that she can not do anything for me & hang up the phone. terrible staff...
Very well located, comfortable room
Excellent room service. No towels, towels recieved after request. Noisy view on backside of the hotel.
Free wired internet, fairly priced restaurant. Very comfortable rooms. I stayed in the renewed area of the hotel so I'm not sure if the rooms are all like the one I stayed in. Slow service at the restaurant even if it was empty.
The building, and style of main reception area It was the only hotel in the Czech Republic where I've stayed recently that made a charge (and a high one) for wi-fi
the friendliness of the staff the breakfasts could be better, the diluted orange juice was undrinkable
Elegant hotel,Comfortable rooms, parking available, nice restaurant
Staff are very friendly.Double room was cleaned and large. Also breakfast was very good! The staff granted the order from us. I have no dissatisfaction.
Charming and helpful staff; excellent service; good food and very good Moravian wines!
Very frendly staff and helfull+++++++++
the location of the hotel is very good, the parking is convinient, some of the staff is excellent and very helpfull terrible, and once again, terrible food! Is it that difficult to understand that people want healthy breakfast? In this hotel, you can only dream of fresh fruit and good tee for breakfast, the hotel is OK, if you eat somewhere else
Hotel Praha is a beautiful hotel with amazing Art Nouveau design and decor. It is located immediately next to the Town Hall on the main square. The staff could not be more friendly and accommodating.
More modern TV-set nothing
the hotel staff was very helpfull and had excellent knowledge about the town the breakfast menu ( the fruit looked rather tired and sad)
Magnificent view from the window. Great localisation. Fine and safe parking. Poor breakfast.
The common areas of the building are really an art nouveau treasure and historically important, the location is perfect and some of the rooms have great views but the rooms are really basic (good value for the price but redone cheaply in the 90's) but very clean and very friendly staff.
It was central, so easy to get everywhere. Staff helpful.
Staff Excellent, Room Good. Art Noveau aspects superb The breakfast is limited.
We were given a corner suite...enormous. Very comfortable. Excellent location in the lovely town centre and yet only a short tram ride from the station.
Well appointed room - clean and good size. Friendly receptionist. Had a meal in restaurant and this was quiet with excellent food. Breakfast good. Coffee machine difficult to understand at breakfast.
Great location in the centre of the city. Clean, comfortable, quiet place. The breakfast.
For the purpose of our visit (theater) the location was perfect. Staff helpfull, room spacious. Party going on outside of our windows: that, of course, cannot be changed by the hotel management.
Very good location in the town center. Good and reasonable price restaurants in the neigborhood. Friendly and helpful personnel mainly with very good English skills. The apartment with separate bedroom was spacious and peaceful. Nice easy access mountain hiking paths in the area, even for families with children. During our visit the weather was extremely hot and the air conditioning would have been necessary.
