We had a hotel booked in a town about 20 minutes from Prague airport, but about 40 minutes from Prague if that makes sense. It was a nice hotel, probably a bit nicer than usual, and we were very surprised to find out on checking in that they didn't allow pets!

    Apparently it was a change of policy, but they had forgotten to update their listing on hotels.com which we'd booked through. We showed them where it said pets allowed, and they let us stay - thankfully! Headed into the town for a Vietnamese dinner, probably the last one for a while!
