The room was huge and so was the bathroom. Very comfortable with old world feeling. Corner room with great views (church wall only a few feet away). Wine cellar (basement) cozy and quiet. Breakfast was very nice and adequate. Prague bread is just not the same as the German bread. But, great beer. Staff was excellent with helping answer questions... More

We booked a room for three and got a very nice and comfortable room with enough space. The bathroom was spotless and linen shiny white. The beds were - indeed, as many other reviewers have written - squeaky, so if you or your partner are light sleepers, you may get disturbed. Also the wooden floors made some noise. But we... More

You cannot beat the location of this hotel. We have stayed a couple of times and it is situated just off the old square. A bit pricier than a lot of hotels in prague but you pay for what you get and at this hotel rooms and meals are excellent? Will definitely go again.

This hotel was simply stunning, and the perfect place for a romantic break, We were staying in a room at the top of the hotel. It was beautifully decorated, and tall and lofty - the bed was comfy and had a balcony looking out over the small square next to Tyn Church. The location is ideal, you are just a... More

Brilliant position, clean room but the creaky beds in room 3 seriously disturbed my nights sleep. The beds were comfortable but every time either I or my husband moved the bed creaked. The smaller complaint is I really would have appreciated tea and coffe making facilities. Overall the stay was great and I loved the breakfasts and most of the... More

Our room was up 6 flights of steep stairs and whist we didn't expect a lift, help with bags would have been appreciated. My husband is in his... More
