Staff were amazing from the reception to the Chef, they even let us checked in early without any additional charges. The only thing I’ll suggest is the bed, a new comfortable bed will make
The staff were very welcoming and helpful. They assisted with booking taxis and day tours as well as making sure we had a great overall experience. Romana at the front desk was fabulous. Very helpful and kind.
Very unique and amazing hotel. Charming and in a great location right next to presidential complex\ cathedral. The staff was also incredible and friendly. We would love to stay there again.
simply the best location for Prague, quaint and walkable to most sights and this hotel was so historic and beautiful. One note to the hotel is that the creature comforts could be addressed like better towels, robe and room service would bring another star rating, for now it isn't for the high maintenance traveller.
The only positive thing to say is that the hotel is in a building of architectural and historical interest, good location if you want to be in Mala Strana.
Otherwise, it’s a mediocre place to stay, with run down rooms in need of renovation. Barebones amenities, a below average breakfast. The charm on the promotional photos does not materialize in real life.
,Very different place full of history and historical things, very specious room, nice breakfast and helpful staff. different area to explore to the centre, but not too far from there too. Nice stay.
This hotel was great to stay in, so beautiful inside. The area is generally quiet. Although up a large hill it is in a decent area however people with mobility issues would struggle with the hill. Would stay in this hotel again and recommend to others.

Hotel was nice but impossible to reach the hotel by phone. They only provide you with the number for an automated voice service. I am still waiting for my invoice which they did not provide me with when I left the hotel, Very annoying not having a phone number where you can speak with a real human being.
No fue posible hacer uso de las instalaciones ya que el Hotel lleva tiempo cerrado. Esto me causó muchos inconvenientes ya que tarde mucho en encontrar un nuevo Hotel para alojarme esos días y al doble del costo, mal Expedia.
Хороший отель, отличное расположение , доброжелательный персонал, уборка. Но остался очень неприятный момент- при бронировании отеля в октябре 2019 года на период январь 2020 дважды был списан с карточки залог в сумме 44,1 евро - в октябре и январе , при заселении в отель залог не учли , списали всю сумму за номер, после выселения при обращении на рецепшен одну сумму вернули на карточку, вторую до сих пор нет.
L'hôtel est bien situé. Magnifique établissement. Très belle chambre.

Very old authentic hotel with stained glass windows depicting historic portraits of Czech people which was different and I liked that. Beautiful balustrades on staircase and artistic ceilings which added beauty and character to the place. Our 3rd floor superior room was spacious with more than enough cupboard space and contained very old solid wooden furniture in keeping with the character of the hotels age and style. Due to small stained glass window, the room lacked natural daylight but there was adequate electric lighting. The bathroom was spacious and adequately equipped. The breakfast dining room is small but the staff in there were efficient and pleasant. If you are wheat intollerant like me, then the eggs and greek yoghurt are nice plus there was corn and rice crackers with packets of varied spreads. There is a coffee machine and teabag selection plus juice. Several cereals and excellent choice of dried fruit and seeds. The hotel is up a steep hill past the castle so you need strong legs and good lungs. There is one slow lift in hotel and it is only big enough for 2 average sized people with cabin cases. Overall its ok for a few days.
A lovely hotel, tucked away, under the castle walls and lovely and peaceful, at night, once the cathedral and castle visitors have left.
It is a little out of the way, and up a steep hill, but that all adds to the charm. A lovely stay in a beautiful hotel.
Highly recommend for those who are happy to be away from the thronging tourists.
