I had a very pleasant stay at the hotel, which I picked as part of my Christmas experience in Prague. The hotel is recently renovated, its building is beautiful from the outside, and everything is nicely designed inside. The hotel lobby is small but pretty; it was cutely decorated for Christmas, though I believe they could have added more decorations. The biggest issue of my stay was the check-in process, which was long and complicated. I booked a Deluxe Room with a View, and because the hotel was full right before Christmas, there were not many rooms of this type available on the day of my check-in. My two major requests prior to check-in were a high floor and a bigger room size for my week-long stay. Initially, the front desk lady was confused and could not find a room for me. Finally, she found one on the top floor, but it had a leaking roof with water on the bed and floor. I informed her immediately, and she was even more confused about what to do next. She had to call her manager, who took about 10 minutes to arrive. He also seemed confused and suggested a room on the first floor, which I refused due to privacy and noise concerns. After extra time, he finally gave me a room on the third floor, which I accepted. My room (A305) was beautifully decorated and pretty big. It was a corner room, so I had two windows with two different city views, which was awesome. The room was soundproof; I did not hear any noise from the streets or the hotel’s hallway. The room had all the necessary amenities in great condition. The bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was small but magnificently decorated with a mix of white-brownish marble stone and gold bathroom equipment. Having a deep and long bathtub was a plus. I liked the bathroom amenities; they were of very good quality. Wi-Fi was fast during my entire stay. The hotel’s location is tricky. On one hand, it can be called “central” because it is right across the bridge from New Town Prague, which can be considered the center of Prague. On the other hand, it is kind of far from Old Town Prague, with a walk of about 20 minutes, which was okay for me, but some people (including my partner) might find this walk long and might need to use public transport or a taxi. However, I personally liked the hotel’s location a lot because it was in a very peaceful and quiet corner of Prague, right on the riverwalk. By the way, there is a big shopping mall close to the hotel and a bunch of restaurants and cafes around. I paid $140 per night for my stay, and I find this deal very reasonable for the high quality of the hotel, especially during Christmas week when hotel prices are very high all over Europe. I absolutely recommend this hotel for a stay in Prague, especially if you need to stay close to New Town. If I come back to Prague in the future, I will consider staying at this hotel again.
