The position.... The extremely helpful and friendly staff.... The lady that ran the bar underneath...

Stan, United Kingdom

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The croissants were really nice. The location was absolutely great. Very charming, small lobby; charming large bed rooms. Highly recommend it; I would definitely go back myself.

Marianne, Switzerland

The deluxe suite was very comfortable, the location is perfect, staff friendly and helpful.

Zoe, Kazakhstan

Good location, very close to Charles Bridge and the castle. Just off the main street so the rooms are still quiet. This is a pet-friendly hotel, everyone was very friendly to our little dog and we could take him to breakfast with us.

Thomas, France

Breakfast was ok, we did not get there till 930 one day and all hot food was gone, eventually replaced. Restaurant was not too good. Server was rude not helpful as we only spoke English, he kept rolling his eyes. So needless to say, we did not go back. No air.

Kathryn, United States of America

Surprisingly large rooms. Martin the receptionist was very helpful

Francis, Philippines

Everything, perfect location & very comfortable hotel.

Lynn, United Kingdom

The staff was very welcoming and helpful. The location of the Charles hotel was excellent for all tourist attractions in Prague but in a quieter part of the city across the river.

Ann, United Kingdom

The hotel is in a fantastic position, next to the Charles bridge, and most of the sites. Excellent choice of restaurants and bars around. The rooms are very nice and the breakfast room underground... special.

Nicola, Spain

Katerina in reception was amazing....so helpful with information, tours and so friendly to guests. Breakfast was great....included hot breakfast and yummy pastries. Staff were helpful and friendly. The location of the hotel was fantastic. A 100 metre walk to the Charles Bridge.... a 15 minute walk to the Prague Castle and a 10 minute walk to the Old Square.......so easy. We highly recommend staying here when you visit Prague.

“I was fortunate to get a special rate. I arrived close to midnight and the very nice man at the desk encouraged me to go for a walk. He said it was safe. What a wonderful surprise!! I had no idea how beautiful the walk, the eve, the lights on the castle, the casualness of the other strollers this late at night! Great location. High end boutique hotel.”

“Excellent location around the corner from Charles Bridge.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Double or Twin Room with Extra Bed
- • Stayed 3 nights
눉There were not enough chocolate buns for all guests at breakfast, generally none for the last hour (thought there were many guests). Juices too artificial. Breakfast room VERY dark and not very inviting, this was especially felt as it is under ground with no windows.
눇The staff was very friendly and helpful. The croissants were really nice. The location was absolutely great. Very charming, small lobby; charming large bed rooms. Highly recommend it; I would definitely go back myself.

눉No shower curtain or barrier of any sort in our bathroom. Seems like you're supposed to sit down in the bath and use the shower head? We found it strange, and it was hard to keep the floor dry. Our room didn't have any view to speak of -- maybe this was the trade-off for it being quiet. Room was a bit smaller than the photos indicate.
눇Good location, very close to Charles Bridge and the castle. Just off the main street so the rooms are still quiet. This is a pet-friendly hotel, everyone was very friendly to our little dog and we could take him to breakfast with us.

눉The room where we had breakfast wasn't in keeping with the lovely bedroom we had as it was a basement type room however the breakfast was very good . There was some street noise at night but that was to be expected in Prague as one of the main roads outside the hotel lead to the Charles Bridge . We could have had another room with no few and quieter but we were very happy with the room we had. Superstaff

눉The hotel offers parking, but actually what you get is a permit that allows you to leave the car in the street. Because of the position, this is not both easy and safe. And you pay dearly for it.
