Prague, Czech Republic Hotels and Apartments

Right in the heart of the lesser city center ( lesser just means smaller) this hotel was perfect for exploring the areas around the castle, the st. Charles bridge and the town square. You will walk out from your hotel into the parking lot to see a dazzling view of the castle. The hotel management was extremely helpful, friendly, and able to speak english well. Breakfast is included and is served in a quaint vaulted hall in the basement. Parking is not provided at the hotel, but you can park at the Hoffmeister hotel secure parking area about three blocks from the Waldstein.

We really liked this hotel. The room was attractive and well decorated. We were in the adjacent section that many other reviewers have complained about but it was really no hassle although less able travellers might have diffculties with the stairs. The hotel is in a wonderful location - right under the castle, about 2 minutes walk from the Charles bridge and about 2 minutes from the nearest metro and tram line. The food was a bit basic but they do have champagne (Czech fizzy wine really) free with breakfast. Would definitely recommend this hotel to my friends.

We arrived and were told we had no room due to \'technical\' problems. We were moved to another hotel, lacking any charm at all and a pretty far distant walk from the centre. We had the distinct feeling that overbooking was not uncommon (we were not the only couple so treated) and that this was a ploy to deal with overflow; namely to bitterly disappoint the holiday maker on Christmas Eve. In short a huge disappointment; the following day, once we had our bearings we booked into another hotel. In short do not take the gamble!
