It's a boat :) Awesome. Good location by the water (doh) 20 mins from center by tram. And pet friendly too :) (small fee though) Very nice and quiet at night even though it's close to the city center.

Hotel in boat is some new eciepence especially if you take room with view to river!

Kasparasz, Lithuania

great parking and near the motorway this is one of the best hotels in the area very near the city about 30 min walk from Charles bridge easy tram service in front big parking lot and price is perfect

Newmexicoman, United States of America

I know Prague a bit, so as i come quite often, I wanted something different, so kind of randomly i chose this one, and i must say is one of my best booking.com experience so far! It was indeed cool to be in the boat. Yes, it's little bit old and the facilities are not that great if you compare with other locations, but for the price, and the experience on living in a boat, is all worthy. Besides, you have amazing views of the river, comfy bed and private bathroom! Also, breakfast is included, and I was eating in the restaurant and was really tasty. WIFI works really fine (i needed it to work), reception are friendly and just take tramp 3 and in less than 10 min you are in Karlovo Namestie. A really fine different experience

Efrencito, Spain

Very quiet place. Staff was very friendly, hitting system was working properly; the room was warm. Cleaning was good quality. The food was very taste as during the breakfast as well as at the dinner.

Irine, Georgia

Wonderful staff, went out of their way to make us comfortable, very, very helpful. If i could rate more stars they would deserve it. The front desk man was incredible

Andrea, United States of America

Exactly what I wanted. Cheap place, kind staff, free breakfast and parking, quick streetcar trip to Charles Bridge.

Matthew, United States of America

Nice girl at the front desk, good location, away from town but easy to get there using the tram that goes passed the hotel.

Rocnnr, United States of America

Novelty of the place with view of river and the price, hot shower.

Very helpful staff and a pleasant atmosphere, ample breakfast. Heating was lovely when I got back from the city very nice after walking around for hours at the Christmas markets. Trams so easy and frequent, no problem being a few km away from the city centre. Only £43 for 2 nights with breakfast and own bathroom.

Never been on a Botel before, and found it quite a quirky experience, in a good way. Very close to tram lines into the centre, and tickets could be purchased from the reception. Went for the xmas market, and was easy to get into the old town. People veryhelpful and friendly, and a lovely market. Able to park right next to boat.

The neighbours were inconsiderate in regards to noise, not really the property’s fault but maybe some signage around regarding consideration? breakfast is limited if you’re vegetarian as opposed to more choice if you’re a meat eater but they sometimes have nice cake! The watered down fruit juice wasn’t great though, coffee was lovely, None of this would stop me coming back :)
As soon as I got to the botel a young gentleman who worked the night shifts was there to greet me, he was very nice to talk to and very friendly, on the second night I saw him he went above and beyond to help me figure out a journey I wanted to take outside of Prague so he did research for me and was very happy to help me, I really appreciated the help as I didn’t navigate the best I have in other places and got lost quite a bit, the stay was amazing, staying on a boat was an amazing experience! I’ll definitely be back! As for people complaining about the size and cleanliness.. pay no attention, it’s s cabin so not going to be massive obviously but it’s super cute, enough room, not dirty or cold which I was surprised being on the water and has a better shower than most of the places I’ve stayed before!

“awakening in uncomfortable but a nice view room far from the city center..”
- • Leisure trip

it is far away from city center..uncomfortable beds, not so clean, very old boat..the personel at the restaurant is pluging out the coffee machine at 11, which is the end of breakfast time, but the worse is even you are in the middle of taking your coffee, he stops it rudely, i saw he did it while a guest was taking coffee..so some of the personel is rude..and when i arrived otel, the first morning even there were towels in my room, the personel knock my door to give clean towels, i said there is towel but because they dont understand english i just took and put on the other bed which was available..but the next day, i couldnt understand why they took all of the towels in my room, so there wasnt any of them! and next day i asked them and they just put one..there is no hairdryer at the rooms you need to borrow it from the reception..you need to make breakfast early because cheese is finishing, and you need to ask them for having it..there is a lot of dust, spider web in the rooms, not enough cleaning. . in bref, if you have limited budget this boat is cheaper to experience one romantic night and morning waking up a very nice and peaceful river view, but not longer if you want to enjoy Prague because it is far away and not longer because it is not comfortable..but you have less limited budget, there are much more comfortable boats also which are closer to the center..
The view of the room at the river side..To wake up this view is number one of this place, ducks, birds, to see people who rides canoe..reception sells tram tickets at the same price to metro stations..at least one person from reception know english..
