Hotel Palác U Kočků By Adrez Living is right down in Old Town Prague, so much so that our Uber driver wasn't sure we had arrived (amidst a holiday crowd on the streets). He just pointed to his phone showing us that as far as he knew we were where we wanted to go. Luckily I saw the sign for the hotel (no marquee but I'm sure that's because there are no marquees on those narrow streets) and we got out and went into the lobby. We got sorted around right away and checked in then walked the 5 minutes to the Astronomical Clock in the Old Town Square and just like that we were experiencing Prague. The rooms are clean and modern, and of a 'European' size, in other words not huge but with all the amenities you could need. The hotel shares the main floor with a restaurant/bar so if you are looking for a quiet retreat this might not be the place for you but after hours it's fine and as quiet as rooms in the centre of a major city are going to get. The hotel is an easy walk to everywhere downtown, the Charles Bridge is about 10 minutes, Wenceslas Square is about 20 minutes and of course the Old Town Square is right there. Walk across the Charles Bridge and you can ascend to Prague Caste (beware the name, it is a 'complex' not an actual castle per se). That walk is about an hour and uphill but great. The breakfast (included) was wonderful, everything you could want and you could sit outside and watch the passersby while you had your meal or just sipped a coffee. Caveat: There are two sides to the hotel and only one side has an elevator, the other does not. Considering there are 4 stories above the main floor this is worth noting and, if possible, requesting in advance. The front desk was very helpful and always manned. Someone always spoke enough English to get us through. A last word, this hotel was exactly what we wanted, comfortable and situated in Old Town, allowing us to truly experience this amazing city. I would call it a 'boutique' hotel and therefore not for the 'middle of the road' North American traveller but if you really want to experience Prague I recommend it highly.

“Greta location.”

Excellent location. The location cannot get better. It’s worth it ! Great and helpful print desk. They have a cafe at the hotel itself. So if you wanna grab a quick bite it helps.

“Gem location”

Location was awesome, not what we were expecting, our room was quite quirky but good, we had room 51. This has a small entrance with wardrobe entrance to small bathroom and entrance to bedroom.

Location was awesome, not what we were expecting, our room was quite quirky but good, we had room 51. This has a small entrance with wardrobe entrance to small bathroom and entrance to bedroom. The ground floor was restaurant/bar but you did not hear any noise at all. At the restaurant they provided guests with breakfast which was a a good choice of foods. The small reception area on the ground floor, besides providing key not that much customer service provided when approached. The rooms where clean and tidy, my only complaint was the bath towel provided during our stay where the size of a bath mat, at first thought they got mixed up but the replacement bath towels the following day was the same, very weird

“Excellent location, right in the city centre, but poor otherwise ”

It's a three star hotel, so don't expect more than that. It is exactly what it says. The pictures on their website are misleading; the room, we had stayed in, looked a bit dated and definitely would benefit from a refresh, however it was spacious and comfortable.

It's a three star hotel, so don't expect more than that. It is exactly what it says. The pictures on their website are misleading; the room, we had stayed in, looked a bit dated and definitely would benefit from a refresh, however it was spacious and comfortable. The mattresses were a bit hard; we were ok with that, but it's not everyone's cup of tea. The housekeeping could be better - they were only doing the bins and were not bothered with anything else. No tea bags top up (we had to ask for extra ones at the reception), no fresh towels, no extra toilet rolls. It was common to find mops and buckets left by cleaners the day before and not collected over night. It was disgusting. The hotel is located in the city centre, which is superb for sightseeing. You have everything you need at a walking distance - the castle, the astronomical clock, the Jewish Museum and many more. A lot of restaurants and pubs are nearby. But with the location come some cons. The noise and the crowd. The noise starts in the early morning, ca. 4am with restaurant deliveries and never stops until late after midnight as people keep shouting and singing. Of course it's not the hotel's fault, but it still affects your sleep. The hotel does not have its own restaurant, but there is the Fat Cat located in the same building. You will find their leaflet in your hotel room, advertising the all you can eat breakfast. However, be careful as their staff might try to double or triple charge you for breakfast only because you are a foreign tourist. As we were told by our airport transfer driver - it's a typical practice. What a shame! It really leaves a bad impression of Czech people.
