Prague, Czech Republic Hotels and Apartments

Siamo stati a Praga dal 19 al 22 ottobre, e abbiamo soggiornato in questo bellissimo hotel. Innanzitutto è in una posizione comodissima per raggiungere a piedi tutti i luoghi più interessanti della città. E soprattutto, è all\'altezza della aspettative: si trova in un palazzo del 1500 perfettamente ristrutturato, con ambienti barocchi accompagnati da tutte le comodità possibili. Era davvero piacevole, dopo una giornata passata a camminare al freddo, entrare in questo ambiente caldo e profumato, dove tutto è accogliente e fatto per coccolare il cliente.Il buffet della colazione è fantastico e anche la cucina del ristorante è ottima. Unico piccolo neo, la spa, arredata benissimo e molto curata nei dettagli, potrebbe essere gestita meglio: era in funzione un solo bagno turco unisex per due persone a cui si accede dallo spogliatoio degli uomini, la piscina è piccola e l\'idromassaggio non funzionava. Ma la zona relax con lettini e un grande baldacchino è notevole. Ideale per un week end romantico.

What a find! This hotel is newly renovated and not listed on most other sites. The hotel is beautiful, the spa is a mixture of roman bath and asian-inspired serenity, the staff pleasant and helpful. Breakfast , as well as wine and cheese each evening ,were also lovely. A truly 5-star boutique hotel experience. We also loved the location on a quiet street but close to everything, including quite a few good neighborhood restaurants.

It is hard to imagine a better place to stay in magical Prague. We arrived very tired after our wedding, and this hotel was the perfect place to rest and savour the wonderful memories.

The staff was very professional and friendly all the way through, and the service was without question of the highest standard.

We must also highlight the interior: No matter where you looked it was a unique experience--the combination of original 1600-styled architecture mixed with the very personal, gaudy style is definitely unparalleled. But the amazing thing is: It works! You must see it in person to truly appreciate what we\'re talking about here.

We loved our room (could hardly leave it!), appreciated the delicious, homemade prailines laid on the bed every day, and can only recommend sleeping in a four-poster bed. Pure royalty!

Take a look in the basement while you\'re there--it\'s a world of its own. Even if you do not plan to receive the deeply satisfying and very qualified massages (we had a balinesian massage for couples--highly recommendable) or use the spa etc., the exotic Indonesian style everywhere is worth your time.

The breakfast buffet was varied and really yummy. So was the dinner food, but one thing that may be worth mentioning is that the sea bass we had at the Aquarius Restaurant was a little bit boring for our taste. However--we come from a sea nation, so we probably have special expectations; so we won\'t hold that against them;-) It is probably good advice not to order fish in a country without a coastline.

Another important thing is the central, yet quiet, location. It\'s in the Embassy District (Mala Stranska) and only five minutes walk to the Charles Bridge. A very lovely part of the city.

A vision of the owner is that the Alchymist should not only be a hotel but a home for the guests; we can only say that we had exactly that experience while staying there. Thanks!
