Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Parking is off-site and limited — The hotel’s parking is about 200 metres away and secured by a fence and camera – not on-premises. Guests note spaces are used by high-end cars, but availability isn’t guaranteed.
- Dining facilities rated relatively low — Among the rating categories, Facilities scores 8.0, the lowest, suggesting the on-site dining or facilities may not match the rest of the stay.
- Far from the old centre for walkers — While metro access is excellent, the hotel is a considerable walk from the historic core – one guest called it “good exercise”. Those wanting to stroll to sights may find the distance a drawback.
- Check-in window is narrow — Check-in is only from 15:00 to 23:59, which may be inconvenient for late arrivals or early landings.

8.8Verified guest“Loved the twin/double room – the beds were very comfortable and the layout worked well.”
8.8Verified guest“The hotel felt bright and welcoming. Location was fantastic – close to metro and tram stops, nice cafés and restaurants. The quadruple room was huge with a great view, comfy bed, central heating and TV.”
8.8Verified guest“We’d stay again: very fair price, clean rooms and sheets, fresh towels daily, and a breakfast that covered everything – even the coffee was decent. Parking is about 200 metres up the street, secured by a fence, barrier and camera – and it seemed to be used by Porsche and Aston Martin drivers, so our old Ford was fine. The hotel is right by Krizikova metro (10 metres), three stops from Mustek at Wenceslas Square.”
8.8Verified guest“Booked a big quadruple room with fresh towels and a wake-up service – all as expected.”
8.8Verified guest“Free wine coupons, great access to public transport, and free underground parking.”
