10/10 Exceptional

All the staff were helpful and very friendly. Great location that is close to trams, food and attractions. Bed mattress felt a little slanty but it was alright. Breakfast was great with many choices. They let us know a week prior to check in that one day water would be out and they gave us huge water bottles and a comped day to ise in future.

10/10 Exceptional

A very nice stay in Prague @ Charles Hôtel!

The location is very near Charles bridge & other great sightseeing, and good restaurants. The service is very good, the staff are very helpful. The bed is comfortable, the only discomfort is the bath, you have to be very careful when climbing out of the bathtub. There are variety of choices for breakfast, and we were so thankful for they prepared a bag of breakfast for me and my daughter because our flight is early in the morning. I highly recommend this hotel.
4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Beautiful, large and clean rooms and very friendly, helpful staff. The hotel is in a busy area just off the Charles Bridge but on a quiet side street. It is easy to walk to all the major sites from here but there are lots of transport options close by. One small negative is that the hotel can be quite noisy but I appreciate that is because it is an old building and depends on the volume of the other people who are staying there. That said, I would highly recommend!
Emma, 6-night trip

8/10 Very good

Hjælpsomt personale, roligt værelse. Lækker morgenmad. Meget central placering i nærheden af Karlsbroen
Nina, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Gute Lage

Das Zimmer war sauber und relativ geräumig. Das Bad war recht groß. Obwohl Eleganz angestrebt wird, konnten (zumindest mein Zimmer) die Erwartungen nicht erfüllt werden. Billiger Laminatboden und ein sehr, sehr dunkles Zimmer (ging zum Innenhof) ist einfach nicht elegant. Frühstück war gut. Die Lage ist natürlich fantastisch, aber ich würde es nicht nochmal buchen.
Anja, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great Location for the Charles

Breakfast was amazing, location was terrific a short 2 minute walk from Charles Bridge, room (308) was on the smaller side but worked well, comfortable bed, my only gripe was the shower, it has a tub shower and the water taps come out of the side wall not the end of tub, kept hitting tap with my knees changing the temperature. Overall I’d recommend the Charles Hotel.
Norma, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Et dejligt hotel og både hyggeligt og sjovt med den lidt ældre stil med brokade stof på møbler og gardiner, men meget fint. Behagelige senge. Meget meget søde og venlige og opmærksomme personaler - tak til Jer alle. Fin morgenmad God beliggenhed

Dejligt hotel i autentisk tjekkisk stil. Meget velholdt. Super morgenmad. Perfekt beliggenhed til et kort ophold.
Peter, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Das Hotel wirbt mit schön eingerichteten Zimmern. Das war nicht übertrieben. Das Frühstück ist ungwöhnlich, variantenreich und detailverliebt. Die Umgebung ist unruhig, das muss man einkalkulieren. Das Personal ist sehr aufmerksam und freundlich.
Jürgen, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Charming but just okay!

While the hotel lacked the modern feel, the charm and location were unbeatable. Room was spacious and somewhat comfortable. Lots of street noise from late night goers.
Keith, 5-night trip

Excellent location and very friendly reception service
Sanjay, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very polite & courteous staff. Manager & Gabriel were very helpful and always looking out for a nice and comfortable stay for us. Hotel is walking distance to most area, tram station and metro. I will definitely stay in this hotel again next time I visit Prague. I will recommend to my friends as well.
