Prague, Czech Republic Hotels and Apartments

We have just arrived back from this hotel which we decided upon based on the excellent reviews here.

It is a fantastic place to stay. Although rated as 5 Star there are no leisure facilities therefore you can take it from us that this rating is down to the quality of service alone!

As we arrived we were sat down in the bar and given guide books and shown maps and given advice on where to go and where to eat. Otto the porter than took us up to our room and enthused about the room and took 5mins pointing out everything. We had booked a deluxe room (river view, slightly bigger) but were given a free upgrade to a Junior Suite (having booked through a website) which was lovely. It faced both the front (river view) and side (small park view). 2 towel changes a day and maid comes into prepare the bed for the evening! That being said we did see in some of the other rooms (peeked in while the maid was changing linen...like you do!) and they also looked very nice.

People have mentioned the breakfasts and we were not disappointed. Choice of eggs, bacon and that on top of yogurts, fruit, cereal, fish, pastries. They were incredibly attentive and friendly, as soon as your empty plate has hit the table it\'s gone and drinks replenished with coffee or choice of types of tea. The staff were a credit to the hotel, so friendly and always smiling and making you feel welcome.

I would agree with the person who found the hotel bar pricey, we had a couple of glasses of wine before heading off to the Opera which cost us about 400K...currently nearly £10!! Tea & Coffee were fine though.

We also took the hotel recommendation of The Blue Duck (U Modre Kachnisky) on our last night. It was fantastic, beautiful food, unhurried and lovely setting inside the restaurant. We thought by UK price standards it was quite good. Glass of sparkling wine followed by bottle of wine, 3 courses and finally a Baileys all for £60. You can then turn right out of the restaurant and walk back across Charles Bridge at night and wander back to the hotel...makes a change from your usual evening stroll at home!!

Finally the hotel is a 30 minute walk from the centre of town but we liked that since the centre can get a little rowdy sometimes last thing at night.
It\'s a very safe walk back to the hotel late at night since it\'s next to the river next to a main road.

Our advice, like most people\'s here.....go to this hotel, it really is a beautiful small hotel, very personal with fantastic staff.

We have just returned from a three night stay at the riverside hotel and it was amazing. I was delighted to discover that our \"standard room\" was clean, comfortable and beautifully furnished. My only criticism is that there was very limited wardrobe space for a lady who is unable to pack light!
I only made it down to breakfast on one occasion (due to the enormous cosy bed!) and I was greeted with a wonderful array of fresh fruit, meat, cheeses, cereals, bread and the option of a cooked breakfast.
The staff was professional, friendly and always delighted to help book restaurants, shows, etc.
Enjoy your trip!

PS. If you fancy a nice meal go to U Modre Kachnicky (The Blue Duckling). Expensive but delicious.

My wife and I stayed here recently for four nights and thoroughly enjoyed it. No hotel is perfect of course and we wished that it was a little closer to the city centre, although the metro station is only about a 15 minute walk and then it is two or three stops to the centre. However the ambience, service and breakfast are simply stunning. We asked reception to organise restaurant bookings and concert tickets which they did with a smile. We thoroughly enjoyed Prague, watch out however for hugely variable taxi fares - best to use the hotel car which you can pre-book. Special praise for Otto the porter who is a true ambassador for his country and a real enthusiast.
