This was a wonderful hotel that we stayed at in Prague. Our room was absolutely big and lovely and clean. The shower was just amazing the best shower I think I’ve ever used. The decor was lovely , plenty of plugs which is quite a rarity in a lot of hotels abroad. Breakfast was plentiful with all different things from salad, cereals, toast, fruit cakes, croissants, all sorts. The bar was nice but limited with drinks. And the staff need to top up the coffee and tea , milk in the rooms. The staff were absolutely wonderful and helped us with Maps as to where to get to places. The Metro station and Trams are only a 10 minute walk from hotel. I would highly recommend this lovely hotel. If you don’t know Pragues transport system here is a warning. If you are getting around Prague on public transport, you need to buy a ticket at Airport or on the tram and Metro, once you have a ticket you have to validate the ticket either on the tram or on the train but only do this once. My partner and myself got caught out with this as we were heading for the metro to go back to the airport. We still had 24 hours left on our ticket, there was a machine where we put our ticket in, and as we went down to the stairs we got pulled over by the police where they wanted our tickets to only find out that we actually cancelled our tickets by putting it into the machine and with that it is actually an arrestable offence and a fine. It took some doing to sort out, but just be careful as the police are very hot on this. Prague is a beautiful place offering so much to see, eat, drink. Highly recommend the Hotel to.

“Quiet location and very clean room with a great shower!”

Hotel is situated in a quiet area but has a good choice of bars and restaurants close by. Highly recommend Wood & Steak restaurant.

Hotel is situated in a quiet area but has a good choice of bars and restaurants close by. Highly recommend Wood & Steak restaurant. We were lucky with the weather so would walk to the old town which took us about twenty minutes going and about thirty coming back (as uphill!). We booked deluxe rooms and on first impression they were a bit disappointing. The bathroom is very small as is the room itself. The bed and frame were much too big and took up most of the room. Also it was two twin beds pushed together (we were two couples in our party) with two separate twin duvets, also had to ask for extra pillows as there was only one each on arrival. The bed linen wasn’t great quality and neither were the towels, we both had holes in them! However, for what we paid it was good value for money, the room and bathroom were very, very clean throughout our stay and the bathroom had modern fixtures with a rainfall shower which had great pressure. My hair looked amazing! The bed was comfortable and we slept well even with the window open as so quiet. Staff are really friendly and attentive and it was helpful being able to leave our luggage on our last day. We also booked a taxi through the hotel to and from the airport, I would recommend this. Breakfast was mostly good, coffee machine surprisingly nice, choice was a bit limited and there were never any croissants! Also on our last morning it was very overcrowded so it took a while for food and glasses etc to be replenished. Overall we had a really enjoyable stay, I would recommend this hotel, I loved the location (and shower!) but as others have said the deluxe rooms are not the ones in the pictures and go to breakfast early if you can.
