“Lovely Weekend Break”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 January 2012
5
people found this review helpful

Myslef and my boyfriend stayed at this hotel at the beggining of December. Neither of us had been to Prague before so we were not sure what to expect.I had booked the Romantik Package which was for 2 nights and 3 days at the hotel, which included breakfast and two welcome drinks.

We were collected fom the airport bya staff member from the hotel which was really handy as we didnt have a clue where we were going. This has a charge of 30E but was well worth the money. The drive is around half an hour to the airport from the hotel.

The hotel itself is lovely. Small and quiet and brilliant for what we were looking for. We stayed in room 3 which was at the end of the courtyard which was lovely. Rooms are decorated really nicely and everything was very clean. The reception area, and the cafe were seperate which was really nice. As well as they key for your room, you also get keys for the wooden doors at the front of the hotel which is lovely as you dont get lots of people wandering past, and you fell very safe.

The staff were very friendly and were very happy to help with anything. We didnt eat at the cafe during our stay other than breakfast as we were out walking most of the day. However, breakfast was really good. We chose to have ours brought to our room as there was a small dining table which was lovely and we just chose what we wanted the night before. There was a large choice and everything was prepared nicely so this was a good way to start the day.

The hotel itself is based about 5/10 minute walk from prague castle which is lovely. There are several tram stations around, however, everything is in walking distance so we chose to walk everywhere. There are many bulidings that you may miss seeing by going on the tram, they arent necessarily tourist attractions but were lovely to look at. The hotel is based on the quieter side of the bridge which was really nice as was peaceful and quiet in the evenings.

You could walk over the bridge which we felt was slightly busier. Still very nice, but was more commercial and where most of the shops were. At the time that we went, there was also the Christmas Market which was lovely and worth a trip if you were in Prague at Decmeber.

In the places that we ate, the food was really nice, quite basic though. Most places did the tradtional Czech food such as goulash and dumplings, but there was also quite a lot of pizza, pasta and meats around. Most places were good value, altough do watch out for some places. We did it eat ina pizzeria which looked like a small tavern, food was lovely but came to over £65 for two pizzas and two drinks. Not very expensive, but more than we were expecting when the bill came. However, we ate in a restaurant which we thought was going to be more expensive, which had a lovely menu and that was nearly half the price, including straters and alcohol, so just keep an eye out for that!

The one thing I would say to be careful of is that most places do not take credit/debit cards, everything is cash. All the restaurants we ate in would only take cash, including inernational chains such as Starbucks would only take cash. The hotel will only take cash as well, that can either be in Czech or Euros, most places accpeth both. Everything at the hotel is put on a tab and paid at the end so just make sure there is enough cash left.

We did not anticipate not being able to use a credit card, so had to get more cash out. There is a quite a large charge for this so try and work out how much you may need before you go!

Overall, we had a lovely stay and the hotel was lovely. Would recommend people to stay and would happily return ourselves.

“Lovely Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 December 2011

Stayed at u Raka for 4 nights, a lovely small hotel with only 6 rooms and very friendly staff. It is in a very quiet area, you could be forgiven for thinking you were in the countryside. We stayed in room 6, which has a real fire place ( wonderful to light in the cold evenings ), a small outside garden area ( where you can smoke ), a conservatory, a well and a laptop !

The room is tastefully decorated and the bed very comfy.

The hotel is a leisurely 10 minute walk through cobbled streets to the castle, 5 minutes uphill walk to Loreta square, or a walk up around 50 steps to the tram stop. There is a small coffee shop open in the afternoon for drinks and snacks but this closes by 7pm. The room has a mini-bar and the night porter will bring drinks to your room upon request

One suggested improvement would be the provision of a tea/coffee maker in the room.

The room rate was excellent value, and i would expect to pay double this in one of the major hotel chains

Room Tip: Ask for Room 6 !

“Charming small hotel with friendly service in great quiet location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 October 2011

people found this review helpful

We loved this place which was beautiful and in a great location if you prefer, as we did, to be away from the crowds of the center. It was an easy walk or tram ride down to all of the attractions without the hassle and noise. Food was great at breakfast and in their cafe and staff were very helpful. We splurged on the architecture tour which they arranged and found it very informative. The room was large and well-appointed. We would definitely recommend it. They gave a 10% discount for paying in cash or personal check in dollars.

“Perfect”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 August 2011

A little late with this review but felt we had to add a review as this place was amazing. We stayed here in February. The hotel is nice and small with a very personal feel. The rooms are perfect and all very individual. It was very, very cold when we visited (lots of snow) and once inside the room, it was very cozy. The hotel had a bar area, with an open fire, that served snacks, cakes and hot/cold drinks - especially nice on a cold day! Location was brilliant - the hotel was in a quiet, residential area but within easy walking distance of the castle, bridge and sightseeing attractions. Whilst there, we lost our tourist guide but not a problem as hotel loaned us theirs. We have no hesitation in recommending this hotel and would definitely re-visit if we go back to Prague.

“Best hotel room we ever stayed in”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 August 2011
1
person found this review helpful

My wife and I stayed here on our honeymoon. We stayed in the superior luxury room and it was just fantastic. If I return to Prague I will definitely stay at this hotel again though possibly not in that room because it did cost quite a bit! However, I would recommend anyone to try it once. The other rooms looked terrific too so we would defintely stay in this hotel again. It was quite simply stunning. Prague is a beautiful city but we we wanted to spend time in the amazing room!
