Great staff, all very friendly and helpful. Hotel is nice and kept very clean, however it is an older property and the finish wasn’t to the standard you would expect in a more modern building so this is a place for people who appreciate a bit of character where they stay. Was noisy sometimes at night as the old doors and windows do little to muffle the sound of other guests and people outside. Breakfast was a good selection and the location super convenient with tram and bus stops only a minute away. Shower was powerful and water nice and hot.

All the staff were helpful and very friendly. Great location that is close to trams, food and attractions. Bed mattress felt a little slanty but it was alright. Breakfast was great with many choices. They let us know a week prior to check in that one day water would be out and they gave us huge water bottles and a comped day to ise in future.

Charming but just okay!

While the hotel lacked the modern feel, the charm and location were unbeatable. Room was spacious and somewhat comfortable. Lots of street noise from late night goers.

Excellent hotel, very large, quiet rooms in 200-yr-old building, super friendly and helpful staff. Outstanding breakfast array. Just half-a-block from tram stop with numerous lines in all directions across Prague. Great location for walking across Charles Bridge to Old Town or exploring the Mala Strana district. Highly recommended.

This was our second time here, the hotel is spotless, the staff are more than helpful. The choice for breakfast is really good. The receptionist upgraded us to an amazing room, because we have been before and it was my birthday . Perfect place to stay, close to everything walking distance. We will return again .

Great location for this hotel. Its within walking distance of all the major attractions and sites. The tram station is right next to it. Lots of shops and restaurants. The hotel is clean, staff are nice the rooms are well equipped with everything needed. Its an old hotel though and the elevator is only available till the 3rd floor. We had our room on the 4th floor and carrying two big luggages was not an easy task. I would stay again but ask for a room on the 3rd floor max.
