“Nice and cosy - feel like home”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 January 2011

We went to Prague for the New Years Eve celebration. We stayed in the U Semika hotel, because we found it ok from several points of view - price, location, good reviews on this website. Everything was very nice- the staff (mainly the hotel manager, a very helpful young girl, and 2 girls from the restaurant) were very helpful indeed. After reading the reviews on tripadvisor.com, I decided to ask for a room on the top floor. Be careful! Don't ask this kind of room during the winter time, because there is at least 1 external wall and the ceiling. Our room have not been used for some days and when we got in, we instantly start shaking. It was incredibly cold, considering that ouside there were -12 C degrees. I went to the reception and asked for an extra heater(we have already started the one in the room but it was not enough). We received another one and all availability from the hotel manager to change the room if that won't do. In few hours the temperature in the room increased and we decided not to change the room any more. But this was a mistake, because the bed was not actually a proper bed. There was a kind of esplanada on the floor and over that part the matress was placed, surrounded by a wooden frame. That frame was higher than the matress and we hit all the time by our legs- we got some bruises from that and from the pillar in the middle of the room, next to the bed :)
My suggestion would be - avoid room no.502 because it is clean and confortable, on the whole, but I had a problem with this improvised bed :)
Otherwise, I recommend this hotel to everybody and also the food in the restaurant - it is very good and, indeed, you get 20% discount, even if you drink only a beer. I would also mention the cosy atmosphere and scenery.
I really consider this hotel&restaurant as nice and cosy

PS I am really sorry I didn't accept the hotel manager's proposal of changing the room. If so, I would not be complaining of anything now. :)

“Very nice”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 October 2010

Located within a short tram ride from the centre, is pretty basic, but covers the needs and is very affordable. We were very happy to get a monitored parking spot in the backyard - not accessible from the street (reserve in advance). Nice breakfast, restaurant is also good for a couple of dinners. Clean rooms. Some noise from the nearby train tracks, but one gets used to it after the first night. No AC, heaters must be turned on to your liking. Free WiFi connection is unstable. Will most likely stay again.

“Very nice hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 September 2009

I stayed here in Sept. 2009 with spouse. Hotel is very clean, nice atmosphere. Breakfast is included and there is a computer with internet access in the lobby for guests to use. Staff is very friendly. The hotel is located about 2 minutes on foot from Vysehrad. Rates are good. It's a 3 star hotel, but feels more like a 4 star.

Recommended stop: Next door to the hotel is a ceramics shop, where you can purchase handmade ceramics. The owner of this shop is very nice.
