We stayed here as a large group in May for the World Ice Hockey Championships. Hotel staff were very friendly and happy to help us with advice and storage of additional bags. They even helped us with some printing of bits we needed as a group. Rooms are adequate and do have air con although in 80 degrees would be a struggle to keep cool as not ice cold. However with the window open a nice breeze at night cools the room down and the added bonus of being on a lovely quiet road so no major noise from street below. Mini bar in room was also a plus for storage of items. Breakfast was plentiful although would have been nice to have had some bacon but lots of bread cheese meats scrambled egg, Fruits and yoghurt and some pastries. We all loved the location, yes a little out from the old town but only 20 min walk to Wencelesas square. Also a tram stop for old town castle etc about 5 mins from hotel. Best thing around hotel was the lovely little bars and restaurants nearby and as more of a residential area prices were HALF of that in the centre. Highly recommend the Mexican and Irish bar near hotel. Also a small mini mart right next door that sold everything. Few small gripes but nothing major. Toilet seat bit noisy when you sat on in it in the night, storage space in room limited for long stays as only one wardrobe and some shelving so really be good if they could at least put some bedside cupboards with drawers etc in as had to use a case to store some stuff. And as mentioned by some bar opening was sometimes sporadic. Open some days/times but not others which with such a big group was a shame as they could have made loads of money at the end of an evening. Definitely a good value choice for a stay and a lovely quiet area but within good access of the sights by transport or short walk.

“Nice, but not near main attractions”

A nice quiet hotel. We arrived late at night, and was greeted nicely, but then the receptionist went into hard sell mode on trips, when all we wanted was to get to our room. Room was smallish, separate toilet and bathroom. I struggled to get on the shower, which was over the bath due to lack of ... more

A nice quiet hotel. We arrived late at night, and was greeted nicely, but then the receptionist went into hard sell mode on trips, when all we wanted was to get to our room. Room was smallish, separate toilet and bathroom. I struggled to get on the shower, which was over the bath due to lack of room & replacement knees. Breakfast was basic but adequate. The bar was never open which was disappointing. It's a long way off the beaten track, I struggle with mobility and wouldn't have booked here if I'd realised it was so far from the main attractions.

“Nice Hotel, fair walk from Old Town, lacking any warm welcome.”

Whilst the hotel is in a quiet suburb, it most certainly is not a short walk from Old Town. Having recently visited Prague at Christmas with my parents (active 80 yrs) it is at least a 45 - 60 min walk up/down a steep hill, busy with traffic.

Whilst the hotel is in a quiet suburb, it most certainly is not a short walk from Old Town. Having recently visited Prague at Christmas with my parents (active 80 yrs) it is at least a 45 - 60 min walk up/down a steep hill, busy with traffic. The tram system is difficult to navigate, however we did discover the metro stop nearby which was simple to use. Nothing hugely detrimental to say about the hotel, bar area a little small, housekeeping could be better (wiping down surfaces/removing glasses), but overall facilities in the rooms were acceptable as was the bathroom. Sadly we felt let down by our welcome ... there wasn't one! - Not a smile or good morning from any member of staff, any attempt at conversation was rebuffed, there was not even a flicker of reaction to our festive jumpers on Christmas Morning!
