Guest Ratings & Reviews
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were beautifully decorated with a touch of royalty, and they were meticulously attended to, with chocolates and fresh water replenished twice a day. One small suggestion would be to add a full-length mirror for guests' convenience. The service was top-notch, with incredibly helpful staff who even arranged car transports for us. The location couldn't have been better, within easy walking distance of Prague Castle and the Charles Bridge. Dining options were plentiful, offering a wide variety of delicious foods, though I must say, the warm bread was a standout highlight. Overall, a luxurious and convenient stay at a great value.

The Junior Suite 215 was comfortable, first-class, and flawless in every way.

The location couldn't be better, close to Prague's main attractions yet peaceful. The dining experience was truly amazing with a wide variety of options. This hotel is a gem!

The service was first-class, with incredibly attentive and friendly staff offering cool towels and drinks upon arrival.

The dining experience was a highlight, with an amazing breakfast that exceeded my expectations.
The hotel's location is perfect, just minutes away from iconic landmarks like the Castle and Charles Bridge, yet offering a peaceful atmosphere. The rooms are beautiful and comfortable, but some may need to check for minor issues like the bathroom layout. The service is top-notch, with friendly and helpful staff, who even surprised me with a birthday upgrade. Dining options are delightful, offering extensive choices, including special accommodations like gluten-free selections. However, the lack of room amenities lets it down slightly.
