The hotel is ideally situated right on the old town square and right in the middle of Prague. The hotel is beautiful and kept in pristine condition for such an old building. Rooms are extremely well heated which is good when it is minus 7 outside. Breakfast is one of the better ones I have had in Prague although still... More

Location Location Location,and atmosphere! I stayed here for 5 nights in early December with my elderly parents and we had a truly lovely holiday . We arrived just as the Christmas markets were starting and saw the lighting of a most spectacular Christmas tree in the square. This hotel has a great deal of ambience and warmth, the staff are...

Perfect location - around the corner from the old historic town square, and an easy walk to most anything you want to see. Wonderful staff, friendly and very helpful. Every room is different, but mine was really nice; quite large for a European room. Best room for the price in my opinion. Food was good. I would definitely stay there... More

I first stayed at the Cerny Slon on a business trip early last year, and have just returned from my second stay at this hotel over the Christmas period. On both occasions, I found the hotel to be clean, warm and welcoming, but by far the most appealing feature of the hotel is the location. If you want to be... More

We happened on the restaurant of this hotel by chance and liked the sound if the daily specials. Although we had no reservation we were given a table straight away downstairs in the cellar (a lit nicer than it sounds - very atmospheric). We had roast pork (called a knee!) with freshly grated horseradish, mustard and pickles with a basket... More

As pointed out by other reviews the hotel has not got a lift but the stairs are of a generous size and not too... More

Prague was on the tail end of our 3 week trip. Our train arrived later than scheduled so we didn't get to the hotel until 6 PM. Cerny Slon is an old and small boutique hotel. It is directly across the alley way from the ancient Church of Our Lady of Tyn---a church that seems to be closed but whose... More

Beautiful , small hotel in the heart of prague. you can literally walk out of your hotel and step in the middle of Old town square. all tourist attractions are right there / walking distance. The hotel has NO elevator, staff was sort of helpful... but if you are going to spend most of your time out. its a great... More

This is a querky, lovely little hotel. I would give it full marks for its location, which is pure magic. There is nothing better then to walk around this area early in the morning before the hordes of turist hit the streets! However it is not a place to stay for everyone. There is no lift and so for anyone... More
