    Pros +

    • Welcoming nature of those at reception.
    • Excellent location on the "quieter" side of the river. Close to the castle and plenty of bars and restaurants. The rooms were large, comfortable and in keeping with the historic hotel itself. Breakfast was excellent and the hotel bar and restaurant served traditional Czech food and drink.
    • Perfect location.Very good breakfast .The room was spacious.Very food food in the restaurant.

    Cons -

    • Quality of food in the restaurant. Loud noise from tram that runs right next door. Safe was broken and they said they’d fix but never did.
    • No lift. Not a huge problem for us, but less able people might struggle to the 3rd floor with luggage.
    • The chairs in the restaurant are very hard, could have some cochins.

    The hotel has a perfect central location, with almost all the main attractions within easy walking distance. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. If they can, they’ll let you check into your room early, and if you have to leave early, they even prepare a breakfast package for you. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone! :)

    There is no such thing.

    No elevator

    9KathrynPosted on: 8-20-2025

    Fabulous location and building; great breakfast: loved the restaurant!

    If you are looking for the perfect place to stay, it's here. This hotel breathes calmness and uniqueness. The location is amazing, the views and the style of the hotel are stunning. The staff at the hotel were all superb, the hotel is so clean throughout and the rooms are beautiful with super comfy beds and air-conditioning. We had breakfast, it's so nicely presented, the food in the restaurant during the day and evening is also lovely.

    10MichellePosted on: 8-9-2025

    Great location in the old town - right next to tram stop. Nice breakfast. Great food available in the attached restaurant. Double glazed windows kept the room very quiet.

    All OK

    לא להתקרב ! I liked only the location. Close to everything I dodnt have to take taxi at all. But this is THE ONLY GOOD THING about this hotel.

    I booked a big room, and they gave me a tiny room that I never saw on pictures. The bed was between two walls - no space to even stand - we had to climb all the way from rhe bottom of the bed.. it was horrible. The table and the space to walk was probably about 1 meter for both of us. Cleaning - they did not provide soap, they did not re-stick toilet paper , I had to buy my own. They do not change sheets - only fix the bed. The did not clean hairs from bathroom .. And I even tipped her. But nothing. Reception ? Horrible. They did not like the fact that I asked many things - when in advance they disappointed me. They said to upgrade room- pay more. Breakfast was- ok. Nice. During day and evening they do not provide free coffee/tea/ water. You need to buy. Also, be ready to face a very rude faces and looks all the time - because they treat you as garbage people. I felt so uncomfortable walking and seeing their unpleasant looks like im hazard. Horrible experience whatsoever. Important: THEY DO NOT PROVIDE SHUTTLE !! Don't fall for it. Their definition on "shuttle" is calling you an Uber and you pay for it. And that's only when leaving hotel - when in airport you get there on your own. I would not recommend, and I will not come back. Horrible hotel , Horrible staff. They act like they do a favor coming to work.

    Hotel in oldtown, just few minutes away from Karlov Bridge. Serves good breakfast, has a restaurant downstairs.

    10DoughertyPosted on: 8-1-2025

    This hotel was great, the breakfast was amazing the staff were friendly and nice and very accommodating, it was a little noising from the tram outside but that comes with being in a great location

    10IanPosted on: 7-24-2025

    Very traditional with many interesting and historic features. Literally 5 minutes walk from the iconic Charles Bridge.

    Because of its historic condition there is no lift, so you will have to be fit if you are on the third floor - we were kindly upgraded to the first floor.The staff were all very friendly and accommodating.

    Was in Prague for a work-related trip, loved the location, the atmosphere, friendly staff. Rooms were large and cozy, breakfast just right.

    9MariaPosted on: 6-22-2025

    Great location, lovely staff, 20% off in the restaurant (can recommend wild boar goulash), would definitely recommend

    7DanielPosted on: 6-20-2025

    Good

    No refrigerator.AC was controlled from reception, and needed to go all the time to ask them to start AC

    9VictoriaPosted on: 6-5-2025

    The location is great for exploring Prague Old and Lesser Town and the exterior of the hotel is beautiful and reminds me a of a Wes Anderson film. I also loved all the decoration inside the breakfast room with portraits and newspapers of famous Czech people. The buffet breakfast is great with a good selection of bread, cakes and cold meats. They will also cook you eggs in the morning. The room was cosy and clean and no noise from outside or other guests.

    9AmyPosted on: 6-2-2025

    Breakfast and people were lovely. The restaurant was really good as well.

    The long winding stairs to walk up three flights with no elevator was tough each day.

    4DonnaPosted on: 5-29-2025

    Location was excellent, within walking distance to Old Town Square and shops, restaurants, Starbucks, etc. Tram literally at front door.

    Tram literally at front door so you heard it at all hours sounding as if it was by your head. Single room incredibly small.. more like a private hostel room. The mattress was about 2” thick. The free breakfast was same thing every morning. Ok if you just like fruit. Scrambled eggs were runny, breads hard. I didn’t bother to try the restaurant due to other tried. Staff was not overly friendly. NO ELEVATOR, so you have to wrestle luggage up and down multiple flights of stairs. Hotel is very old and desperately needs updating. Actual keys to enter rooms, locks are difficult to manage as you have to keep twisting key while pulling on door. I would not stay here again.

    9JeromePosted on: 5-18-2025

    Great location to visit Praha and room is clean and breakfast is fine.

    No lift but it is manageable

    8KennethPosted on: 5-18-2025

    location was great and the staff were all helpful and friendly! The meal at the restaurant was excellent and again, because I had worried about a place to eat after a concert at the Rudolfinium, the owner said to come back and he'd wait to close.

    the parking is a walk away...nice on a day like we had,but in bad weather you could see how that would not be ideal! no tea or coffee or water in the room!
