Considering both of these hotels for an upcoming stay in Prague. Any thoughts on which one is better? We have no transportation other than public transport so we would like to be located near all of the sights of the city. Also, does anyone know how to get to HI Express from the airport?

Purely for the fact that the Best Western website puts their hotel next to the %26#39;River Moldavia%26#39; would encourage me to choose the Holiday Inn... (of course it should be Vltava, or Moldau)
However, it is not close to the centre, and of these two the BW would be better for your purposes (assuming that you are there on holiday, rather than on business). Forget about the Holiday Inn.
But details like the above abomination really stick in the craw - I am sure there are other, better places in this price range, and there are plenty of suggestions in this forum, or even look at the trip advisor recommendations.
I never stay in hotels in Prague - we are lucky enough to have friends and family here - and the only time I did (Four Seasons) it was absolutely horrendous.

Just come across this question and I have to agree with the above answer. There has got to be better options than those two chains. From memory they are on outskirts of town and looked dull. There are loads of interesting hotels to suit all budgets. Do a bit of research on trip advisor. Even the smallest places seem to have English speaking staff if that%26#39;s a concern.

The other posts make some good points, but I%26#39;ve just come back a few days ago from a stay at the Holiday Inn Express in Prague. If you are looking for a safe bet, this is fine. No frills, but it%26#39;s decent, clean, 5 minutes walk from Wenceslas Square and about 10 from Old Town Square. We had no need to do anything but walk in the 4 days we were there - everything is within easy walking distance.
We got a AAA taxi from the airport for 550CZK - there are much cheaper ways to do it, but we were feeling lazy and impatient to get out and about!

My mistake - I was thinking about the Holiday Inn in the Congress centre, which is not in the city centre. The %26#39;Express%26#39; is near the main station so given the choice between your two options, I would choose the Holiday Inn. However, there must be something a bit %26#39;nicer%26#39; for the same money...
