    Too short stay. Only one week.

    Best location in Prague in my preferred neighborhood "The lesser side" . 2 minutes from Karel's Bridge. Although on the main street, very quiet.

    The room is a little echoey and the old doors and furniture make a bit of noise

    The room was very clean and comfortable with a beautiful historic vibe. The location is amazing and close for walking tours or for getting on the streetcar. Each staff member at the Charles was extremely helpful and polite. I would certainly stay here again!

    The location is probably the best in Prague, being at the start of Charles Bridge. The hotel was absolutely spotless and the room was up to the same standard. Well done to the housekeepers. Breakfast was excellent with multiple choices.

    The only knock is the street noise can.

    This hotel absolutely blew us away this was the second time visiting Prague and you can’t beat this location. The rooms are so unique and beautiful and the beds are so comfortable. Breakfast every morning was fantastic and the staff was so beyond kind and accommodating.

    Only one small elevator for the whole hotel, but since it is a historical building it is understandable. I did not requested to change the towels, but they exchanged it anyway.

    breakfast, gluten free option, size of the room and size of the bathroom, city view to Mostecká street, decoration of the room was magnificiant, location is perfect-city center and also castle reachable on foot, staff was nice

    A night at Charles Hotel!
    • Leisure trip

    • Stayed 1 night

    The breakfast item was quite limited with three hot dishes which were quite bland and the juices from the machine tasted water rather than juice. Would have been better if there were more breakfast pastries and fresh juice (tasty orange juice ) The power outlet to the bed which was quite far behind the bed to charge my phone. Would have been better, if there was an outlet or extension closer to the bed where you could charge your phone and other electronic devices. Remember to carry long cable to charge your phone.

    I arrived at the hotel at 22;00. I got the non-smoking room on the highest floor which I requested when I made the reservation. I was placed on the 4th floor in a huge room with separate toilets and a separate huge bathroom. I like the fact that the hotel is very close to all the attractions and the bus stop was about 3 to 5 minutes from the hotel. All the staff were nice and welcoming, especially the breakfast attendant name Aung was super nice and welcoming as well as both the night and morning receptionist. I was able to extend my checkout time up to 13;00 and kept my luggage at the hotel for free. Thank you so much and will look forward to staying at your hotel again on my next visit to prague.

    The coffee cups in the room are too small to hold the coffee and not knowing that, the cups would overflow and spill on to the counter and the floor. There is a nightclub right next door and there is activity until 2am and possibly later. Depending on where your room is, the noise could either keep you awake or wake you up. Earplugs helped nicely. The elevator is very small and does not go to the 4th floor.

    The room was wonderful. There was a lot of space and there were frescos painted on our walls. We were there during Easter and the staff left different gifts on our bed each night. It was very charming and the breakfast was excellent!

    Air conditioning worked, but i could be more efficient. It was silence which was positive.

    Breakfast was very good. Cappuccino from the coffee machine was tasty and the setting was generally good enough. Atmosphere was guiet, nice music and very beautiful decoration increased satisfaction. Location was excellent near Bridge Karlov. Room was more than we expected. Large and very high bedroom was beautiful and again, decoration was nice. Bathroom was big enough, water pressure was normal and a little detail, there was Rituals products. The street below was full of people all the time, but the noise was not heard in the room.

    The only thing to note is that there is a club downstairs, so it can get noisy in the evening, but there's nothing the hotel can do about that. We had our 6 year old with us and she slept just fine, so it's not too bad.

    The location of this hotel is amazing. We love this area. The room was absolutely stunning, huge, and spotlessly clean. The staff were so helpful and friendly. Couldn't recommend this place enough. The breakfast is lovely. Lots of choice and everything is very fresh.
