Hi Phillip,
as a person living in Prague I have to say that if you want to have western style services, you need to pay western (or higher) prices.

Please be sure local community spend last time some time to crawl around conference hotel talking to the management about "large group of english speaking people is comming, please have somebody understanding basics of english and have english menu ready". Without this crawling, some services shall be somehow ... ehm ...

And ... Prague isn't one of cheapest cities in Europe. It is in middle tier of the european capitals and more expensive than some regions of Germany/France/UK.

It seems like Prague city council marketing has too much pink color :-) Anyway, we are trying to do our best to make next IETF even better than '68 (but, we have no responsibility on cookies - yet?).

No, that was Prague '68

I think the issue there was that we were in one of the cheapest cities in Europe to buy food outside the hotel and the prices inside the hotel were much higher than for other hotels in European capitals for Communist era quality food.

Paris was the number one choice for a European venue in a venue
preference survey conducted after IETF 78.

I don't know about this... after all, the last time we had an IETF there is when EKR blew a gasket at the lack of (real) cookies during the breaks. This cannot be overlooked as an isolated incident, or hand-waved away.  I wouldn't want to be around him if this were to occur again.
