This was a nice place to stay, it does have many stairs and it is on a steep street, but the location to see the Palace and St. Vitus Cathedral was perfect, you can see it from the hotel and you can hear the church bells.

Nice room but a lot of stairs

Room was very nice and good location. It was just 4 flights of stairs to get to the room, so a bit tedious going up and down. Garden at the back was nice to relax at the end of the day.

4 STAR HOTEL.QUITE OK IF ONE CAN ADJUST EXPECTATN

Upon arrival , the ambiance was positive: traditional Czech house from last two centuries, high ceiling and cool interior , a nice refuge from late afternoon summer heat. But room lacked face towels, no telephone for calling reception and standing shower stall small even for an average person. Bed and sofa n pillows comfortable though. Receptionist seemed mostly bored and gruff. Breakfast service was very late starting at 8am. Ok if you are not on business n in a hurry. Breakfast spread quite good though. Visited a friend staying at DESIGN HOTEL NERUDOVA further up the street. Such a contrast in terms of colours on the walls, and staff always warm and helpful. And it was a full service cafe!

Delightful reception staff. Beautifully renovated mediaval building with some unique art pieces. To get to upper floors was a bit tedious with need to take two different elevators Breakfast had limited fresh fruit selections. As we stayed for 11 days,we have noticed some days were mediocre, depending on number of guests. Excellent location.

Bad night

Woke up twice in the night. The phone called and some people were making a lot of ruckus in the hallway. Had been looking forward to getting some sleep. Otherwise it is fine but sterile.

Toilet had dried pee all over it. Only one roll of toilet paper. Sheets didn’t look very clean. No toiletries. No wash rags. Only one towel. One employee told me the next employee could book my transportation to the airport. The next one said he couldn’t do it. When he did book it, he booked it for 4:15pm instead of 415am!

Poor quality and horrible service

I had a room under the roof which would get very hot. The airconditioning died after 2 days (out of 8). The hotel staff and management could not care less and told me it wouldn't be repaired for the next couple of weeks. The room was unbearably hot. They did not offer another room or money back (since I had to move).

My wife and I have stayed here several times and it has always been lovely! The location is right near Malostrankse Namesti and perfect for walking to Charles Bridge or hopping on a tram to go anywhere else. The view from the windows into the street is quaint, the rooftop garden is small but peaceful, and the breakfast is serviceable. The only problem on one of our recent stays was that the shower door has a huge gap at the bottom and whenever you bathe with the faucet facing the door, water streams out onto the floor. I hope they fix that soon. Other than that, stays here are perfect - and for an incredibly cheap price!

Buon hotel in posizione centrale e ottomo servizio

Hotel situato in una posizione comoda e strategica, piacevole da raggiungere anche di sera dopo cena. Camere ampie e spaziose. Nota strana sono i letti matrimoniali che sono in verità due letti singoli uniti e, nota negativa, due coperte singole. Lo staff é giovane e molto disponibile mentre la colazione andrebbe migliorata per coloro che apprezzano solo colazione dolce.
