Reviews and Ratings
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were large and spacious, furnished beautifully, and full of character while still being practical. The location was excellent with plenty of restaurants, cafes, and shops nearby, and the stained glass windows and painted beamed ceilings added a special touch to the room. The service was top-notch, with the staff being very helpful and welcoming. The dining experience was good, with a varied breakfast and self-service options available. I did find the lack of some healthy options a small downside, but overall, a wonderful experience.
My stay at the hotel was wonderful! The rooms were very spacious and pretty, with a small sofa, two comfy chairs, a TV, fridge, and even snacks for purchase at a reasonable price. However, it tended to get quite hot in the evenings during the summer. The rooms were impressively big, divided into a bedroom and lobby with a door, offering a sense of privacy and comfort.
My stay at the hotel was delightful. The rooms felt more like a cozy suite than just a bedroom, complete with stained glass windows and all the necessary amenities. The central location was fantastic, although the low ceiling on one side of the bed and the inconveniently draped curtains were a bit of a drawback.
Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were large and spacious but uncomfortably warm at night due to the lack of air-conditioning. The service was exceptional, with very helpful and friendly staff ready to assist with anything we needed. The location, just steps away from the castle complex and in the heart of old town Prague, was both convenient and picturesque. The dining options were decent but not exceptional. Overall, it was a stay with its ups and downs, but the friendly service and prime location made it worthwhile.
Staying at this hotel felt like being in an old tavern or castle with unique and cool rooms. The downside was the lack of natural light due to the sloping ceilings and stained glass windows. The service was very pleasant, with little touches like pre-made toast and welcome trinkets. The location was perfect, nestled in a quiet area yet close to major attractions like Prague Castle. The dining experience was self-service with a good selection but lacked excellence. The facilities overall were superb. Remarkable features included the old-fashioned room design and pleasant service.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were huge, like a mini apartment, and the staff was really helpful and nice. The location was near the castle and good restaurants with authentic Czech food.
The hotel is perfectly situated near Prague Castle and Petrin Hill, offering a romantic getaway in one of the most beautiful cities in the world. The rooms are spacious with reliable internet, but they differ from the online photos. The service is charming, with staff patiently guiding guests on transportation and offering a nostalgic stay reminiscent of an old tavern or castle. The location is ideal, away from the bustling streets but within easy reach of the city center and just around the corner from the Charles Bridge and the old city. However, the dining options are somewhat limited, and the breakfast could be warmer, although the self-service setup allows for a hassle-free dining experience.
I had a delightful stay at the hotel. The rooms were perfect for tea lovers, spacious, and even had a coffee machine. However, they were not as featured in the booking, and the lack of air conditioning may be due to the historic status of the building. The service was outstanding, especially the young gentleman at the reception who went above and beyond, even surprising my wife with birthday chocolates. The location couldn't have been better, being close to stunning landmarks like St Vitus Cathedral and just a short walk to the castle. The dining experience offered a good variety, although the breakfast was not very appetizing. Facilities were ample and satisfactory, contributing to a pleasant stay.
Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms had a stylish decor with a comfy bed and a large bathroom, available for an extra €35 a night, which was totally worth it. However, the rooms were quite dim during the daytime, possibly due to the age of the building. The service was a letdown as my privacy was completely ignored, especially by a young gentleman at the reception who seemed out of it and mistakenly claimed our booking was for the following evening. The location, on the bright side, was truly amazing. Situated next to the castle, up the hill, away from the busy streets, yet within easy walking distance to the city center, it offered breathtaking views from the top of the hill, and it was extremely close to Prague Castle and St Vitus Cathedral. The dining experience could definitely use some improvement to elevate the stay, even though the produce selection was excellent. Overall, the facilities were decent, but there is room for enhancement in certain areas.
I was pleasantly surprised by the spacious rooms, featuring an exceptionally comfortable bed and bright bedside lights, making it easy to read at night. However, the size of the rooms was a bit on the small side for my liking. The location was great, quiet yet easy to reach the main sights, although navigating the steep streets near Prague Castle was a challenge.
