“comfortable great location couldn't ask for more”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 January 2012

We had a lovely stay at Domas Balthasar Hotel room we stayed in a deluxe room on third floor room was lovely bed was so comfortable. We had a problem with lighting but this was fixed straight away. Staff extremely helpful arranged taxi to go home which was prompt and reasonably priced. We had breakfast which included hot and cold food and good range of food available such as fruit and yoghurts bagels, to fried egg and bacon. Just a shame there was no snow this would have made it perfect. Great location 10 out of 10 thanks

Room Tip: If you have trouble with stairs go for the bottom floor as there is no Lift.

“Perfect for weekend stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 January 2012

Stayed for 2 nights in January 2012 and had a fantastic stay. Location was perfect to stroll around Prague without needing public transport. Room was lovely with great bath and the breakfast in the bagel bar adjoining was fun and quirky. Would thoroughly recommend to all!

“tremendous location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 January 2012

We went as an adult family group for a birthday celebration. The hotel was picked for being small, minimalist classy and perfectly situated. Indeed it was.

We took the car from the airport option as the location is not easy from the conventional airport transits, and it was not so expensive when the car is full. Direct to the door, bags in the rooms (thankfully; see later) and very efficient.

The hotel is literally at the end of the Charles Bridge, castle side, so EVERYWHERE is an easy walk. Lots of restaurants of all types in walking distance and in fact for four days all we did was walk. Christmas market was good (but not as good as Nuremberg) and everyone is friendly. Prague however, like any capital city, is not a cheap place in the centre.

The hotel? Very good. There is a microscopic reception on the ground floor, then 4 floors of beautifully clean modern elegant rooms/suites. 2 on each floor. We were on the top floor which has the advantage of being quiet (though that was not an issue in early December) but two snags.

Firstly it is a long long way up four floors worth of stairs; no lift.( The building is in UNESCO Heritage area) and secondly when you get there headroom is limited. I am 6ft 2in and I had to duck under the beams and could not stand up at all in the bathroom. Unless you are under 6ft get a room on the other floors. Rooms however are generously big and beds are great.

That said, there is no criticism of the place at all. Charming people, spotless, great location. Very efficient and friendly.

Breakfast incidentally, is included and is taken in the adjoining cafe/bar. Rather cramped, limited range but clean and good quality. You access the bar via a door near reception so no external walk required.

All in all, very good

Room Tip: Avoid the top floor unless you are both fit and under six foot tall

“Old Prague at its best.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 November 2011

This lovely hotel was perfect spot for my friend and I to stay at on our first trip to Prague. We had a single room each and they were both large, quiet and had the best bathroom (heated floor and huge bath). The hotel was cosy and in a very old building. It felt like we were in another time stepping out onto the cobbled street and the bustle of Charles Bridge. Staff were helpful and friendly and made bookings for us for various things. Would return and stay anytime and highly recommend it.
Don't forget to use their very friendly transport driver Milan. It was great to be met at the airport and Milan's prices are very reasonable.

“Real design nowhere to be found”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 November 2011

We picked the hotel for the design style and location and we let down by the first. The service was ok, location realy lovely, but it left us overall somehow very dissapointed. Never mind next time there is more research to be done in advance.

Hmm. Too bad. We are really sorry for not meeting the expectations to the extent of disappointment causing even low sleep quality.
However, it is quite hard to respond. Or find out the moral how to be better next time.“No real design” might mean a presence of entirely amorphous shapes or absence of “big names”, more glass, more controversy and maybe some weird hairy thing on top. Is unique design in unique historical architecture really “design”? Hard to say. But I have read Don Thomson´s bestselling book The $12 Million Stuffed Shark and I think I´ve got the point.
