After our river cruise, we extended our stay in Prague and chose to stay at The Augustine, a charming historical hotel that was once an Abbey. Remarkably, monks still reside on the property. Our room faced the peaceful interior courtyard and was both spacious and quiet, offering luxurious comforts like a king-sized bed, bathtub, sitting area, and a work desk. The staff at The Augustine was incredibly gracious and attentive. We frequently relied on the concierge for dinner reservations, salon bookings, and securing train tickets. The daily service was impeccable, and the restaurant staff was equally outstanding. The property features three dining options, including a bar. The Refectory serves drinks and light bites, and I had one of the best Caesar salads I've ever tasted there. The Augustine Restaurant offers fantastic meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, while the Saint Thomas Brewery Bar, located in a grotto, provides a memorable experience with traditional Czech cuisine. Centrally located, The Augustine was perfect for exploring Prague’s sights, and we discovered many charming places just a short walk from the hotel. A fun and unexpected highlight of our stay was meeting Hannah Waddingham, who was staying at the hotel with her family. It was such a pleasure to chat with her!

“St. Augustine Hotel - Old World Charm”

“Perfect Stay”

Perfect hotel for visit to Prague. Have stayed in many different European hotels and Augustine is at the top of the list. I can’t understand the posts criticizing service other than to believe they were based on an isolated and unusual experience. I will be specific as to why we found the service to be above and beyond what most hotels offer to counteract those general/less specific negative comments. Zoe at the front desk on more than one occasion during our stay went out of her way to make sure all was good with our stay and to personally greet us with a smile when we returned to the hotel. Marek and Ahmet in the restaurant were incredibly attentive and personable at breakfast and lunch (we did not eat dinner at the hotel). Michael the concierge spent time with us to make sure our days were well planned and had excellent local recommendations. Tomas who worked in the lobby area was equally as inviting as Zoe (and did a nice job with the orchids and flowers in the lobby). As others have posted, the location is 100% where you want to be - essentially equidistant from all attractions and areas you will visit. Hotel is off the street via a private drive which provides for a nice separation from the city. That said, lessertown (the side of the river where this hotel is located) is much quieter/less tourists than the old town side. We would not recommend staying in the old town area. We travel quite a bit and don’t post many reviews. Our experience at Augustine was so exceptional that we felt compelled to post. Enjoy Prague!

“We Give The Augustine 10/10”

We had an excellent 4 night stay here. It's a smaller hotel, 101 rooms and is the luxury price point pre-cruise hotel for Viking's Danube River cruise. We were not a part of a cruise, just chose to stay because it looked very nice and it was. The hotel is part of a former monastery. It's about 20 minutes from the airport and train station. Its location in Prague is great, in the Lesser Town area. We walked to The Old Square and Prague Castle (which is visible from the hotel) in 20 minutes. Charles Bridge is a 10 minute walk and the Senate Garden is right around the corner. The hotel is very clean. Lukas at the concierge desk, Marek and Jacob in the Refectory Bar and St. Thomas Brewery Bar were all amazing. There's outdoor seating off the Refectory Bar as well as a lovely garden area. Our room was a great size, comfy bed, ample towels, good water pressure in the shower, a full sized bathtub, a hair dryer that was only o.k. and couldn't be plugged in inside the bathroom. We received welcome goodies and there were fresh flowers in our room. Class all the way without being stuffy. Would definitely go back!
