Lock in a great price for The Charles – rated 8.6 by recent guests!

to get started.

Nice hotel with a great location. Rooms were very nice, clean, and quiet. Breakfast buffet was bountiful! Our room at the top had views of a nearby church and the Prague Castle in the distance.

The size of the bedroom and bath. Very big, very confortable

Maria, Uruguay

The Charles is located close to the Charles Bridge and St. Nicholas Church in an area with lots of restaurants, so we found the location ideal. There is a tram stop very close by that we used to go to and from the central train station on arriving and departing Prague. There is also a stop for on and off tours. The hotel was clean and well maintained. Desk.staff were very helpful. For its location, it was quiet in the evening. Breakfast was included and plentiful. Guests get a welcome drink too - a nice touch. The cost, for Prague in July, was also unbeatable value.

William, Canada

Excellent location at the foot of the Charles Bridge but on the nicer quieter side of town. This boutique hotel doesn't have a grand entrance but the room are spacious -ours had a vaulted ceiling; the bathroom clean and modern; the included breakfast generous and tasty; staff efficient and tries hard -note that almost everywhere in Prague service and smile don't seem to be native Czech concepts. Overall an excellent value hotel near everywhere you'll want to visit on foot or by tram. Highly recommend it; would go definitively go back to Hotel Charles.

David, United States of America

Location good and staff helpful. Room good and breakfast adequate

Martin, United Kingdom

Hotel was great. The staff were very friendly and they accommodated our early arrival. The hotel is in a great location - less then a minutes walk to the Charles Bridge and surrounded by restaurants, shops and bars. The room was clean and comfortable and WiFi excellent. I would highly recommend this hotel.

Alice, United Kingdom

Location was excellent, and hotel was friendly and old style, yet very comfortable.

Fraser, United Kingdom

The Charles was a great place stay. The room was large and the bed was really comfortable. Location was perfect being walking distance to the Charles Bridge and the Castle and so many other sights around Prague. The staff are very helpful and friendly. There was a good variety of food for breakfast and the food was fresh. A wonderful place to enjoy such a wonderful city.

Veronica*, Australia

Extremely comfortable bed with extra pillows and the little sitting area; my room was really a bed sit. Appreciated the tea making facilities in the room too. And the little attention to detail: Staff seemed to notice the type of tea I was using and replaced the tea bags with similar tea each day.

Catherine, Australia

Quaint, clean, and great location. Easy to get around the city from this hotel. Everything was very clean.

Dan, United States of America

Great location!

눉The hotel is located in a very old building, so maintenance should be batted in order to be ranked 4 star hotel. There are no public areas in the hotel except from a small seating area (two sofas and armchair near the reception. There are not enough electrical outlets in the room and what is in inconvenient places, very important for those who travel a lot to recharge telephones and other devices. In a bathroom there is no top dush or any option to hang one, so you have to hold it in your arm while taking a shower, so there is no option to take quick shower. There is no variety at a breakfast, we stayed 3 nights and every morning the breakfast was the same. The staff is not very helpful in regards to any kinds of recommendations.
눇The location is excellent, near the Charles bridge and public transport. Bed was very comfortable and renovated bath room
