Prague, Czech Republic Hotels and Apartments

Just got back from Prague and I have to say the rooms and the service were top notch. The hotel is directly acorss the street from teh US Embassy and a very short walk to the famous Charles Bridge. Would highly recommend this hotel

My wife and just spent 4 nights at the Alchymist. I first visited Alchymist two years ago, when it just opened. I stayed at Aria, a block away (very cool rooftop!), and, after getting a tour of Alchymist by its owner, decided that I’ll definitely stay there on my next visit to Prague. I booked a Junior suite, directly thru the hotel. Alchymist met and exceeded our already high expectations! Everything was absolutely perfect – the ambiance, attitude of employees, cleanness, quality, location… a great balance between high design and cofmort! My wife and I are totally NOT into gold and glitz, but décor at the Alchymist somehow just works! We felt that we were living in a fairytale, but with all the modern comforts! If your taste is limited strictly to minimalist type stuff, this place may not be for you. Common areas are warm and inviting – big soft sofas, nice lighting, lots of air yet very cozy, and the rooms are absolutely gorgeous! I am very happy I booked a junior suite. We were there with another couple who booked a regular room, and although their room was nice, the suite was truly memorable! Our room was facing a quiet courtyard, so we were able to sleep with open windows; we did use AC a few times, and very happy with it – fast and quiet. Great service personnel, very nice breakfast, wine and cheese in the afternoon (good wine!), and a spectacular location – a few minutes from the bridge, and yet completely away from the crowds. The spa is nice, but not a kind of place where you’d want to hang out for hours… Two restaurant recommendations (near the hotel): Gitanes – a home-style Mediterranean place two doors down – whole grilled sea bass, great veggies, interesting lamb dishes, superb $30 wines from Croatia and Montenegro; and Olympia, owned by Pilsner Urquell, where we had the best $10 pork knuckle outside of Bavaria and Urquell’s new beer called Master that weren’t able to find anywhere else – great stuff! (a 15-min walk). Last but not least, do use their airport transfer car service. Inexpensive, nice cars (we had a big US Jeep), very professional drivers.

A fantastic Hotel, dating from 1510. The architecture was beautiful, the furnishings totally in style for the era. Totally a sublime experience. Our room was a double deluxe, which was beautiful, amazing deep bath (wonderful after walking round Prague all day). Everything was so clean, the staff attentive and helpful. The breakfast was a mixed hot and cold buffet, never had any problems with staff clearing up early. Prague itself is not as cheap as it used to be, but still a wonderful city. If you like good food, try \"Cowboys\" on the hill up to Prague castle. If you book in advance, you can get seating on their roof terrace with a view out over all of Prague! The food was amazing, portions good, and not too expensive. I can really recommend the Fillet Mignon, while my wife loved the pork ribs (millions of them) and if you like a little drinky, try their \"sex on the Farm\"
I hope you enjoy Prague as much as we did. This hotel is so worth the money, LOVED IT!
