- The location is fantastic , literally a few steps from the ild town square . Its a really quaint property . Not many rooms and very quirky in its layout
- 10/10 location, basic but nice breakfast and clean rooms

Cons -
- For the price there was nothing not to like
- Crowdy drunks late at night around, but stopped after a whiile somehow
- You have to sign in to the WiFi each time you get back to the hotel, so I probably used more roaming than I would have, had my phone automatically switched back to WiFi.

The location is unbeatable with just 50 steps, if that, to Old Town Square. Many of Prague's most notable sites (Jewish Quarter, Museum of Decorative Arts, Medieval Underground Tour, Klementinum Library, Clock Tower, Wenceslas Square and the two Mucha Museums) are absolutely within walking distance. The exceptional National Museum is a bit of a hike but very well worth it. Start off in the dome on the top floor for a breathtaking view and work your way down. The trams and subway are nearby and no charge if you're 65+. The hotel is very quiet and the buffet breakfast is superb. The dinners are also excellent and generous portions. I highly recommend the goulash or roast duck. The room is very spacious and clean; the bathroom is huge with a big and DEEP tub and boasts a heated rack for towels. The front desk staff is very helpful and knowledgeable. I'm having issues uploading more property photos or I would have done so.

The hotel is an antique style, very comfortable and stylish, with comfortable beds and very clean, in the centre of the old town, delicious breakfast.
The rooms were clean and spacious, the staff were friendly and helpful and the hotel was less than 10 minutes away from most attractions in the city!!
We were steps away literally from the historic heart of the city. While the hotel building was built in the 13 century the rooms were still very comfortable with plenty of space. The staff were very helpful and spoke English which was a great relief.
Nothing really.
Very good location. Breakfast time was convenient for all of us - early birds and owls :) and we liked variety of food . Dinner at the restaurant in the cold winter evening was a real pleasure. Staff was very friendly and welcoming. We booked room for 3 people and it did not disappoint.
The only nuisance what you need to take into account is rather noisy street. Buildings around make a kind of well and therefore the acoustic effects, even from a normal conversation, are very pronounced. However, since we had a great days walking around old city, this was just minor inconvenience and did not affect our sleep . Beauty of location and friendly staff overweights noise from passing by loud tourists.
Lovely old 14th century hotel in an excellent location - no need to use public transport as most of the sights were within a 20 min walk of the hotel. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The beds were comfortable and the rooms spacious. Plentiful breakfast. We also ate here one evening and the food was very good.
The room was very warm (even though it was very cold outside), but this was easily rectified by turning down the thermostats. I had to unplug the towel warmer in the bathroom as it would not adjust and it was far too hot in there.
Location was fabulous and a good breakfast. VERY helpful staff member at reception
The whole saga of paying on card at the bar
The location of the hotel.
The parking arrangements could be a little bit better. When checking out there should be in the arrangement where the hotel staff picks up the parking pass from the parking attendance at the parking garage.
Location was good, but the facility was very bad.
Hotel is rundown. Linen was torn, curtains was not even properly on the rail, and couldn’t close. Very noisy at night.
The location is perfect and the male member of staff was so pleasant and helpful
The room wasn’t as clean as we would like..just like it has had a quick clean ..The beds are clean and comfy and the bathroom
Location and good breakfast
Bar was cash only
Excellent location. Breakfast buffet. Comfortable room. Dog friendly.
Excellent location and friendly helpful staff. Older hotel but large comfortable rooms and bathroom. Even with Xmas market and crowds nearby it was quiet. Nice Restaurant and bar attached and many options within walking distance.
TV didn’t work but staff was able to fix it after a couple of days. Breakfast buffet was okay— better options within walking distance
I really liked the hotel’s old-fashioned style, the room was nice, and it was very close to all the attractions, including the metro.
Breakfast was monotonous; if you didn’t arrive early in the morning, the food was gone. The selection was very limited, but you could manage to eat. There is a bar next door that stays open until 2:00 a.m., so there were many smokers and people shouting under the windows. The street is narrow, so everything could be heard very clearly, even in winter.
Lovely old building
The electrics didn’t work so we’ll wehad no sockets the first night
Location
No elevator to go to the 3rd floor. We have 3 luggages and there was no one to help us with our luggage
Early check-in, luggage storage, excellent location, strong water pressure in the bathroom, and friendly and attentive staff.
The room lighting wasn't very bright, but the desk lamp was bright enough for reading or using a laptop!
