We liked absolutely everything about the hotel, locación, rooms, breakfast, cleanliness

Viviana Argentina

The room was very spacious, and the breakfast buffet had a lot of options, all of which tasted very good. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Julian Netherlands

Perfect location! Just off the Charles Bridge which is the gateway to everywhere anyone would want to go to. Walking distance to the Royal Palace. The hilly road wasn’t that bad. Breakfast was satisfying. Special mention to the wonderful staff: Aung. Svitlana. Kristina. Johannes and Peter and to the housekeepers. Very helpful and accommodating. Thank you! We enjoyed our stay there!

Lynette United States of America

The room size and the staff at the reception. The receptionist Yuhaan was very firedly and guided us well. Mr.Mitul at the reception was great as he gave great insight into what is to be done in the city. He made sure our stay was comfortable and also arranged for packed breakfast for our journey ahead.

Ritesh India

The location was perfect, 2 minute walking and you are at the Charles Bridge. The room was spacious, clean and had all the facilities we were expecting. Considering the hotel was in a very touristy area there was relatively little noise in the late hours. Will definitely book again when in Prague.

Arber Netherlands

great location within walking distance of shopping, dining and attractions. friendly and helpful staff.

Haley United States of America

The location was perfect. Being on a side street, one street away from the Charles Bridge was perfect. The facilities felt very grand, and the free breakfast every morning was so good.

Cameron Canada

Probably the best location for tourists in Prague. The room is rather big (except for the shower, which is average) and the bed is comfortable. The breakfast is decent.

Orel Israel

The staff was very polite and helpful in every case. The breakfast was delicious and very filling, especially as we walked around every day. The beds were comfortable and the location is very accessable!

Erika Hungary

The breakfast was good. Especially the gentleman from Myanmar Mr. Auomr wasvery kind and very helpful. He made my mornings great! I am thank ful
