Alqush Downtown Hotel

“Nice little hotel for a city break”

Lovely hotel. Immaculately clean. Very spacious and well equipped. Water pressure in the shower was good and room was warm in February. Good location too to walk in to the centre of Prague. Good selection at breakfast. Would recommend for a stay.

“Immaculate hotel”

We were staying at Alquish from November 15 to November 18 and enjoyed each second of staying there. Ideal location, clean rooms, comfortable beds, new linen.

We were staying at Alquish from November 15 to November 18 and enjoyed each second of staying there. Ideal location, clean rooms, comfortable beds, new linen. Breakfast was included and was rather generous and tasty. I am grateful to each person working at Alquish and their restaurant (shared with Amigo hotel) for their diligence, willingness to help and care. Looking forward to visiting Prague and being your guest again.

“Pleasant but not near anything.”

We came here for a short break in late March 2024, obtained via Wowcher. The weather can be a bit mixed this time of year but we were lucky with cold/sunny.

We came here for a short break in late March 2024, obtained via Wowcher. The weather can be a bit mixed this time of year but we were lucky with cold/sunny. We travelled with Ryanair and had the usual sort of things happen, such as being allocated rows 8 and 31 on the plane. They are notorious for this and other issues (they want you to pay extra for everything) so plan accordingly if you have to use this airline. There were no issues with the private transfer from/to the airport and it's about 30 minutes each way. The hotel is on a busy main road and close to the Police Museum if that appeals to you. It seems to be quite residential around here with only a few shops or bars. It's quite a walk to the back of the big museum at the top of Wenceslas Square. It's an even longer walk to the Charles Bridge or the Old Town so you might want to choose a hotel closer to the Old Town or get a taxi. There are a couple of hotels with restaurants on this main road but he Alqush restaurant lacked appeal and was not available for us to use anyway, due to a private event. The breakfast served was very basic but the basement rooms were clean enough. If you were late down for breakfast, it was a case of get your own cutlery and clear a table etc. The reception staff were friendly and helpful, offering maps and any advice you may need. The bar in this hotel was a small room behind reception. There were two tables with a few chairs and lacked any sort of appeal. There is a small Tourist Tax payable which is CZK50 (about £1.75 at today's exchange rate) per night per person. We were given room 155. It was very clean and comfortable. This room had obviously been bigger at some point but had the lift shaft build through it. This left a quirky space behind it where the wardrobe and tea/coffee/kettle had been put, to use the space. There is a small balcony with views of the dull backs of other buildings making up the square. The bed was comfortable but they give you a small duvet each, rather than a king size one for the bed. The shower was very clean and worked well but there was nothing other than cheap soap, dispensed from a bottle fastened to the wall. Take your own toiletries, along with shower cap etc if you need these things. There is a hairdryer provided in the bathroom. The electrical sockets in the room are very limited. They are type C and E so take both types of adapter so you're not left unable to charge your phone, camera and so on. The hotel was clean and pleasant throughout but lacked the charming artistic painted or vaulted ceilings of many of the buildings in the Old Town or Lesser Town. In a nutshell, there was simply something lacking here and it was a good walk to where we wanted to see.

“Fairly good hotel ”

Enjoyed 4 nights in the beautiful city of Prague. This hotel is ok, not really 4 star though. Beds really hard. No change of bed linen in the 4 days, however towels were changed if requested.

Enjoyed 4 nights in the beautiful city of Prague. This hotel is ok, not really 4 star though. Beds really hard. No change of bed linen in the 4 days, however towels were changed if requested. Windows able to be opened and were excellent at shutting out street noise. As previously mentioned only tea available in room, no milk. Rather cramped breakfast area but adequate choice of continental and hot food. Good location about 15 minutes walk from Wenceslas Square.
