3 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 June 2013 NEW

Small hotel (31 rooms) in an ancient building, very centrally located - close to Charles bridge. My room was ok, simple, clean, but the bathroom too small, with no space to put my things on. Pillows are too flat. Breakfast is served in the basement, in the Thai restaurant connected to the hotel. There is quite a good choice of... More

Fantastic spot from which to explore the city. Right in the quiet end of Charles Bridge in a romantic spot. Breakfast is rubbish but you won't be up in time anyway! Big comfortable rooms with real character and excellent en-suite.

Very nice place - loved the interior and location. unlike the network hotels the Charles has its own face and features like atique furniture and ancient ceilings. the location is perfect - 2 mins from Karluv most and other attractions. On the downside the area becomes a bit noisy in ther evening. Also the staff unexpectedly failed to call for... More

Had booked this place online, only to find out when we arrived that there was an "issue." Because of said "issue" (which was some excuse to say they overbooked) they tried to ship us across the city...luckly we found another place close by so we could be in the centre and not the managers 'other sister' hotel. Keep in mind... More

Nice old fashioned styled hotel, very near to the Charles Bridge and the old city. The staff are excellent and very helpful. Gave directions to all the landmarks. The hotel offered a very good breakfast and had a good choice. Clean and quaint in its style, the ceilings in the rooms add a good touch. The reception staff are the... More

Well located very close to Charles Bridge in Mala Strana, this boutique hotel claims 4 stars. The staff were welcoming, and spoke good english. The downstairs has a small lounge, but no bar or other facilities, the lift is rickety, the rooms a good size but basically appointed. The painted ceilings are a nice touch, but they get boring after... More

Solid, old furniture, massive exposed beams hand-painted with flowers, a roomy ensuite, double doors leading to the bedroom with a small private entry area. What a treat! Add a great breakfast, courteous staff and an ideal location, just 100m or so from Prague's famous bridge in an area dotted with eateries, overlooked by the castle on the hill, and you... More

I really wish I could review this hotel, but that would require staying there, which was my intention. You see, when we were arrived, we were told that there was a "problem with the pipes" on our floor and that we'd be shuttled across town to another hotel owned by the same manager. We asked them to explain the nature... More

Small friendly hotel conveniently located between Old Town and Castle, near Charles Bridge. Most main sites are within walking distance. Reception staff are extremely helpful. Room and bathroom clean and well furnished. Simple but plentiful buffet breakfast which had slight variation each day. Hot items as well as the cold cheese, meat and pastries as well as cereals and fresh... More

We were here for three nights, loved the layout of the spacious room and shower room although the lights above the mirror didn't work - a minor irritation. Felt the room could benefit from having a mirror in it. We were on the first floor and found it noisy on one of the nights (Friday). Mini bar well stocked although... More
