Most welcoming experience for family with child that we've ever experienced
Pros:

We were travelling with small child (toddler) and the staff were always just so happy, always said hi when they saw him, and there was a babychair available for the restaurant. There is a lift to a couple of the floors and I wrote in advance to ask if our room could be on a floor with the lift and with a baby bed and they were amazing to accommodate. The whole experience was just wonderful, best experience we've had travelling with our child by a long way. Location is amazing, you're like 50m from the main square but with windows closed it's still quiet to sleep. Hotel were happy to help arrange a taxi back to the airport for us with a child seat also. We'll happily stay again next time in the city :)

I was dissapointed by the hotel
Pros:

Great location, just a stone drop from the Old Town Square. Building is build at 1340ies and is a Unesco Heritage. Majority of the staff are nice. Breakfast in the old restaurant is nice. Unfortunately that is all good that I can tell.

Cons:

Room is very basic but is ok. Problem is in the bathroom. It is very old and "tired". Everything is dirty, full of mold and dust. Toilet bowl was partially yellow. Door was not closing. There were black spots on the ceiling. Very dissapointing for such a hotel. For some reason there is a full mini bar and warning tells that you are not obliged to take out minibar staff and place something yours inside the refrigerator, otherwise "it will be thrown away immediately". I've faced this first time. Some of the staff don't want to work and are looking at you like you are disturbing theim always. Heating was off despite it was plus 5 at night and it was not comfortable temperature at night at all.
Another problem is was transfer to hotel. I was told one price and driver told me another price saying something about eur/czk rate (this rate problem is very common everywhere in prague). More dissapointing was that we ordered transfer with carseat and driver came without any car seat and told us that even if he would bough it with him, that car seat is not sutable for our baby.

Feines kleines Hotel das seine 4 Sterne verdient.
Pros:

Sehr gut im Zentrum der Altstadt gelegen. Personal sehr zuvorkommend und hilfsbereit. Unser Zimmer, Nr.7, lag gegenüber der Kirche, mit blick auf die Kirchenmauer. Kein Straßenlärm. Frühstück war gut und die Auswahl gut. Besonders das Rührei war sehr gut, nicht diese wässerige Masse. Zimmer sauber und die Betten entsprachen meinen Vorstellungen. Wir haben auch das Restaurand ausprobiert, nicht schlecht aber auch nichts besonderes, Preis Leistung waren OK. Leider macht die Bar schon um 22:00 Uhr schon zu, war aber kein Problem, zumal es am Bars und Clubs nicht fehlt. Empfehlen kann ich die Bar rechts vom Hotel. hat bis 00:00 Uhr offen.

Cons:

Da meine Frau gern in dunkelen Räumen schläft, dieses aber nicht Überall möglich ist (nicht nur in diesem Hotel) würden wir uns eine bessere Verdunkelung wünschen.

古宿やけど、ロケーションと人柄が満点
Pros:

スタッフの人柄が100点です！！

朝食ギリギリに滑り込みましたが、嫌な顔をせずに
朝ごはんの対応もして頂きましたし、
また朝食の内容も
野菜・フルーツ何れも山盛りで体力回復できました。

チェックアウト後の荷物預かりも「もちろん◎」と言って頂き大変助かりました。


お名前を聞きそびれましたが
フロントスタッフのルーマニア出身の男性に
すごく良くしてもらいました。
日本と同じくらい気持ちよく過ごせました。

Cons:

ベッドが小さい
ティッシュがない
歯磨きもない。全体的にアメニティは無いです
(ハンドソープくらいしか無かった記憶です)

Гарний готель, рекомендую!
Pros:

Готель в самому центрі. в 1 хв від центральної площі і годинника. До залізничного вокзалу можна дойти пішки за 20 хв. Всі туристичні локаціі поруч. дуже смачний і повноцінний сніданок

Cons:

У нас був номер на трьох з трьома ліжками - це останній поверх, є ліфт але віконця маленькі під стелею, тому вида з вікна не було.
