Historical Context

Hotel Cerny Slon is a listed historic building from 1359. The original wall around the door of the hotel has been preserved. The building has hosted figures such as Tycho Brahe, Václav Havel, and Mrs. Albright. The hotel is located in Prague 1, featuring most of the medieval heart of the city.

“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.”
