We really enjoyed our stay here. The room was adorable, with exposed beams and stained glass. The only complaint would be the small shower, but the staff and the overall experience made up for this. The hotel is located perfectly, quiet and peaceful. I do wish we would have gotten the breakfast as it looked gorgeous. Maybe it was worth the 20 euro each? I would recommend this place to all my friends.

Close to castle but note that it is located at the top of a steep hill. Staff lovely. Room large but no windows to see out of as backed onto public steps. Room dark and for such a large room the kettle was hidden behind the tv making it difficult to access. Missed having a walk in shower.

This hotel was great to stay in, so beautiful inside. The area is generally quiet. Although up a large hill it is in a decent area however people with mobility issues would struggle with the hill. Would stay in this hotel again and recommend to others.

simply the best location for Prague, quaint and walkable to most sights and this hotel was so historic and beautiful. One note to the hotel is that the creature comforts could be addressed like better towels, robe and room service would bring another star rating, for now it isn't for the high maintenance traveller.

Great building, so-so hotel

The only positive thing to say is that the hotel is in a building of architectural and historical interest, good location if you want to be in Mala Strana. Otherwise, it’s a mediocre place to stay, with run down rooms in need of renovation. Barebones amenities, a below average breakfast. The charm on the promotional photos does not materialize in real life.

Hotel was nice but impossible to reach the hotel by phone. They only provide you with the number for an automated voice service. I am still waiting for my invoice which they did not provide me with when I left the hotel, Very annoying not having a phone number where you can speak with a real human being.
