“The hotel occupies a beautifully refurbished building from the 14th century, a UNESCO heritage site; it is right on the Old Market Place near the superb Tyn Cathedral. The staff seems friendly, and the spacious rooms offer a real feel of Prague, but the dated restaurant could use some modernizing. For me, it remains a favorite, with reasonably priced charm in a prime location.”

central locationair conditioningstreet noise
The location was indeed central. It made getting around relatively straightforward.
The room lacked air conditioning, a problem (a pretty big one, if you ask me). A small fan did little to alleviate the heat. I found it hard to sleep well, especially with the noise from the streets outside when I opened the windows.

Central Gem!
central locationfriendly staffcute atmosphereair conditioning
I loved how central the hotel was. Friendly staff remembered me by name (a sweet touch!). The downstairs bar created a cute atmosphere. I often enjoyed an evening drink there.
The absence of air conditioning made the room a bit warm. A small fan did little to alleviate the discomfort during warmer days.
