The boat is quite old and had an array of different carpets, was dusty and dirty. There was mold all over the bathroom and just not kept up to date. The experience was what we were looking for but should have probably gone with a cruise. The location was about 25 mins for the city.

The AC did not work in the room. It was so and humid that we had to wait for almost 6 hours to get in the room. They did not change the room. We paid for parking as well which was mentioned as free n Expedia and infact was the reason for us to book the property. I usually never leave bad rating but this really disappointed me.

I like the property because it is 3 blocks from the metro. The views on the water are lovely however it is going to get cold at nights and hot during afternoons. The suites are a fair price that are a large size and the breakfast is surprisingly great.

Pohadka na Vltave

Tohle ubytko nemá chybu ..ze svého pokoje jsem měla úžasný vyhled na Vyšehrad , pod okny plující labutě .. ve večerních hodinách jsem ani nechtěla opustit pokoj , protože jsem cítila to krasne kouzlo Prahy .. proste na lodi a jako v pohádce ..ráno na me čekala super snidane v restauraci opět s dokonalým výhledem a sluníčko svítilo , tak po snídani jsem si posedela na terase lodi , která je otevřená .. a nesmím zapomenout na úžasného Pana na recepci , takový přístup jsem dlouho nezažila .. jednou mi udělal kavicku , jiný den odnesl kufr , až na pokoj a ta ochota a milost , cítila jsem se tam jako doma a ta energie těch úžasných lidi byla cítit .. jezdím do Prahy z Londýna velice částo a vím , ze každý můj pobyt bude už jen na Vodníků ... jej a dostala jsem také balíček na cestu domu , jelikož jsem nestihala snídani a bylo to jak od maminky .. proste toto ubytko je TOP dokonalosti .. žádná 5* , ale pohadkove místo na Vltavě

Spiders!

GPS locator does not get you to the Botel using the address they state on reservation. We had to do three loops before we found it. Room was tiny and bunk beds were riddled with spiders. Our room was on bottom floor overlooking the dirty dead fish floating area between boat and shore... I asked to change rooms and reception said they were totally booked; which was far from true. Bathroom is tiny and very dated. The one double bed was comfortable. If you got a room facing the open river, could be nicer.

Located LITERALLY on the Vltava River.....

I arrived in Prague early in the evening. Even though it was like 5:30, it was dark. Upon arriving to the hotel, I walked down the gang plank (if you will), walked in, and a very nice person who spoke English helped me. Unfortunately, none of my credit cards worked with her machine, though in fairness, I did not tell my banks that I was going to the Czech Republic for the weekend.. LOL She was very accommodating none the less. I wound up paying her in Euros, and for an extra 3 Euros, I had breakfast the following morning while looking out the window at the river and at Prague. Did I mention the view? I took SO many photos of Prague, and a few were out the window from my "botel" room! looking at the reflection of the lights on the water of the river as it flowed by was really awesome! I will say that it is a bit off of the beaten path, but I walked all over Prague the next day, including along the river from the Botel, and I was VERY happy to do it. The architecture, the bridges, the views of so much... I took more photos of Prague than anywhere else I have been EVER, and that is saying something!

Otele ulaşım çok kolay ve pratikti. Tren ve otobüs durağına 1 dakika yürüyüş mesafesindeydi. Kahvaltı çok taze ve çeşitliydi. Personel güleryüzlü ve yardımseverdi. Bunun yanında yan odadakilerle karşılıklı sohbet edebilecek durumdaydık çünkü bütün konuşmalar duyuluyordu. Eminim onlar da bizi duydular. Ayrıca yataklar temiz olmasına rağmen çok eski ve rahatsız ediciydi.
