Going to Prague: 2 days mainly in hotel will I need local currency?

I am going to Prague arriving on an Wednesday afternoon and returning Friday afternoon, During the trip I will be mainly based in the hotel for eating,sleeping etc,just wondering would I get by with just euro's or would I need local currency, cheers

If, when in any foreign location, you opt not to use local currency, you will be ripped off everywhere you go. Imagine spending a few days in Dublin and paying for taxis, meals etc in Sterling. My advice to you would be to use your credit card for major purchases and withdraw a modest amount from an ATM to cover minor purchases. You will pay credit card charges but at least you will avoid Prague's ubiquitous and notorious 'commission free' bureaux de change.
