German-Slavic mix is about right, both in terms of looks and culture.
My general experience with Prague: if you have great game, then you'll enjoy it. The nightlife is mediocre, and daygame is very random, some days the flow is good some days not so much. But it's easy to get around and the the culture is sexually open, so ONSs could happen, and there are some, not many, but some, truly hot girls. This means if your game is tight and you have a high approach-to-lay ratio then there's enough hotties to feast on and you will have a great time. However, for intermediates and below there's just not enough numbers of hot girls to cut your teeth on.
That's why you have such wide disparity in how people view Prague. I've seen it myself, some guys I've met will clean up and nail a new 7/8+ week after week when they put in the effort, other guys are dry for months even with regularly going out, there's not as much in between.
I think this is a great evaluation of the current situation. I'm not there that often these days but most of the posts I see here from late 2014 on are spot on. In Prague there is little advantage from just being a foreigner. Every girl can tell you a story about a Czech girl hooking up with a foreigner. If it's not her, it's her sister or somebody she knows.
The center around Dlouha is still a huge sausage fest, but there are still lots of girls and guys with luck + game will meet them. The best strategy on Dlouha is to try to be there when girls are, but all the other guys aren't (day of week, time of night, etc). The fact that you can't smoke in public places anymore is the biggest recent development, so on weeknights the city is a graveyard. M1 is a notable exception. Pretty much every night it's full of guys and girls from Russia, people from the Balkans, Middle East and everybody who thinks they don't fit into the standard Czech scene. There used to be lots of African guys, but there aren't many anymore and they seem to have more or less disappeared from the Prague scene.
As some guys noted in posts, once you get out of the center it's a completely different ballgame and you can find places with more girls than guys. But you'll need sharp game because a lot of girls are there in the smaller places because they want to avoid the tourists. Last time around I asked a girl where people go now that the center is full of tourists and she said, just bars near where you live. Prague 3 (the Zizkov neighborhood) is supposed to have more pubs per square kilometer than any neighborhood in Europe. So just wondering around Prague 3 and hitting random pubs and then ending the night in Palac Akropolis (mentioned by the OP) is a good strategy for very adventurous guys who like hipsterish girls and have some time. The Czech girls are still relatively open-minded compared to some EE countries and when you find the right one things can move forward quickly. Sometimes shockingly so. You can spend the night talking to a girl who has showed little IOI other than still talking, and then she can just say, where do you live? I want to go home, are you coming? So you have to be open-minded and realize that things aren't the same as they are at home. There are also still some very beautiful girls around, but you don't see a club in the center packed with them anymore and since they get harassed by Czech guys too, they usually try to avoid going out in places where they will get approached. Live music places, supermarkets and neighborhood bars are places to spot them. The shopping mall list I posted in another Prague thread is still very relevant too.

If you want to see the Czech Republic as it was before Prague got occupied by tourists, you can go to any medium-sized city and if it's not Brno, chances are good that you'll be one of the only foreigners in any place you go. Brno is still a good choice, but it's more of a mini-Prague. Cities like Plzen, Pardubice, Hradec Kralove are just an hour or so away from Prague and they're a lot cheaper. People come in from the surrounding villages to go out in these cities. The night spots will probably only be full on the weekends and girls will be a lot more shy about speaking English (and some really can't speak much at all) but it's easy to stand out because Czech guys of all ages will just be wearing jeans, t-shirt, sports shoes. When girls spot you as a foreigner you'll get IOIs and guys will talk to you too since a lot of them like to practice their English and they don't meet so many foreigners. So this is really turning the clock back quite a ways. I don't have any list of names for these cities because the times I've been there it was always with somebody who knew the places and just took us around.
For guys who really want to do the Czech Republic and don't mind going to a city where there might only be 1-2 happening venues, one way to do the small cities would be to start from Vienna, take the train to Brno (Wednesday, Thursday), then travel to Pardubice (Friday, Saturday). Then take a one hour train to Prague and stay during the week and do tourist things, Tinder, day game and small bars. The next weekend you could try Plzen and then head over to Germany around Nurnberg where guys with game can get SNLs with hot German girls, then end up in Munich. Alternatively go North from Prague to Usti nad Labem, then to Leipzig and Berlin. Guys here might like Leipzig too. Full of hot East German girls, but with questionable English levels (definitely less English spoken than in Western German cities).
Another city to try in Czech Republic is Ostrava, It has a huge bar street with about 100 bars, it's a lot farther away from Prague, but probably only about 3 hours by train from Krakow. This is the heart of Moravia, the region that's known for the tall, thin, blonde, big-titted girls. It's much easier to open girls there than in Prague, but most of the younger and adventurous, English speaking people get out of there as soon as they can because there just aren't any jobs.
