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.

“A gem hidden away in the streets of Prague”

I checked into the hotel Ametyst on a roasting Friday, having travelled from Scotland on a not roasting day!

I checked into the hotel Ametyst on a roasting Friday, having travelled from Scotland on a not roasting day! The usual caveats apply to this review - I can only comment on those things I personally used/experienced. The only hitch I experienced happened on check-in; I had arrived in CZ nine thirty in the morning and was looking forward to an almost full day to explore. However, the room was not available until 14.00...and I was stuck in my travelling clothes and in need of a shower/change. The receptionist was extremely helpful and, with the help the housekeeper, my room was made available within some 40 minutes. So, no real hardship, and efficiently dealt with by the hotel without fuss. This is something that Easy-jet might consider liaising with the hotel about though; maybe pre-booking early check-ins where applicable? My room was one of those on the floors that were recently refurbished - and was immaculate. Entering through a heavy sound-proof door into the room, I was met with an air-conditioned, fresh and light room. The bed was really comfortable; pleasantly firm, and the pillows were better than the usual "air-bags" you find in many hotels! The duvet was a typical continental summer one with a throw over the foot of the bed, and the linen was of good quality. There was an abundance of storage, both hanging and in drawers, in two separate built-in wardrobes; all with soft-closing doors. A small mini-bar had a mix of soft and alcoholic drinks including beers and wine, and some nibbles. There were coffee/tea making facilities and some stationery. The two windows looked out onto a quiet street with the typical architecture found everywhere on the opposite side. The windows were double-glazed, easy to open "tilt-and-turn" windows with extremely efficient blackout curtains. Lighting was superb, and could be quite mood-setting if you were creative! There were a couple of chairs and a case-stand. Excellent bedroom. The shower room was a flat-floor walk-in layout with rain shower and hand-held. There was an abundance of hot water and the power of the showers could flay your skin off at full blast! Wonderful. There was a well appointed basin with all the usual complementaries, mirrors, sockets, towel rails, etc.. The loo was separate - good idea I thought - and set in a well lit and spacious room - complete with a douche. Both rooms were impeccably clean, the towels changed on request, and were very fresh. All the public areas were very modern and scrupulously clean. The bar in the reception area looked small, but was very well-stocked and comfortable ( the local beers are superb! ). The dining-room is only used for breakfast and consists of three inter-connected rooms with all the various foods divided between them. There was a good range of breakfast; cereals, fruits, continental, cooked, breads/rolls, fruits, yoghurts, etc., and all manner of teas and coffees. The rooms were well-served by the staff, and - of course - very clean and airy. The staff were great. Can't fault them. To single out is always wrong but I can't help it! The receptionists were very helpful and accommodating, and greatly assisted by the concierge Radim ( lovingly referred to as the "bell-boy" ) who would stop at nothing to help and advise, or just have a chat if not busy. The young lady behind the bar of an evening ( whos name I failed to get, sadly ) was there to make everyone feel at home, and did so. A little gem, that place, and located slightly "off-piste" so nice and quiet, but close to the thrum of the city if you want it. There are several restaurants located close by, offering well-priced local and international cuisine. Oh; and lots of bars too ;)

“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. 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.

The hotel was good - good breakfast selection only downside the bar wasn’t open - we would have picked a different hotel if known as we like a drink in the hotel before going to bed - staff were so friendly and helpful especially reception staff who were very appreciative of my greeting in Czech - by the way Prague is amazing!!! Beware of rip off taxi drivers at the airport
