Reviews and Ratings
I had a lovely stay at this boutique hotel, filled with charm and character. The stained glass windows and painted ceilings added a unique touch to my experience. The breakfast options were outstanding and varied each day. However, during my visit, I faced a few hiccups with the lift and air conditioning in my room. Overall, I would recommend this place for its cozy atmosphere and proximity to Prague Castle, but be mindful of the heat if you're staying up high without A/C.
My stay at this hotel was delightful, thanks to its charming historical setting and excellent breakfast. The staff was very accommodating, making me feel welcomed throughout my visit. However, I found the absence of air conditioning quite uncomfortable during hot days, and the steep climb to the hotel might be a challenge for some guests. Overall, it’s a beautiful option for those who appreciate character and are able to manage without AC.
I had a wonderful experience at this charming hotel, full of historical character and located near Prague Castle. The breakfast offered a fantastic variety and was a delightful start to my day. However, my room was quite warm without air conditioning during the heatwave, which made it uncomfortable at times. Additionally, navigating the steep hill to get to the hotel could be challenging after a long day of sightseeing.
The hotel is situated in a fantastic location, just a short walk from Prague Castle and surrounded by charming streets. While the rooms could be quite hot during the summer, especially without air conditioning, the breakfast offers a delightful variety of options each day. The service was attentive and responsive, making for a pleasant stay overall, though the rooms could use some improvement.
This hotel offers a charming historical experience just a stone's throw from Prague Castle. The décor and atmosphere transport you back in time, and the rooms are quite spacious. I must mention, though, that the breakfast could use improvement in terms of variety and cost. Still, overall, it's a wonderful place to stay while exploring the city.
