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.
