Parfait , nous vous recommenderons
Pros:

La situation de l'hôtel , l'accueil et le personnel , le petit déjeuner et surtout l'authenticité des lieux . Trés bonne literie

Cons:

Un peu gêné par les bruits extérieurs la nuit donc peut être une isolation à améliorer . Nous avons été réveillé 3 nuits sur 4 par des fêtards ou des gens un peu trop irrespectueux

Pros:

Location was outstanding. Place was quirky and had character. Small touches like the towels and the International Women's day gifts were a nice touch.

Cons:

Room was dated. Seemed to slope away from window. Had to have main lights on to watch tv. No lamp which could be lit on its own without big lights on. Thin walls.... could hear in specific detail what the people in the room next door were doing....

Was very satisfied with both hotel experience as well as my whole 4-days trip in general.
Pros:

Very good location close to the Charles bridge, Prague castle and the old town.
Nice, clean rooms in old style as well as friendly and helpful staff.
Peter in the reception gave excellent service with a smile on his lips and always made that little extra to exceed the guests expectations. He was very well informed with huge knowledge about the town and its surroundings. Peter also gave a lot of good recommendations regarding restaurants, museums, historical attractions etc..
He also always took his time for a little chat whenever you passed by the reception.
I would highly recommand this small and personal boutique hotel to other guests.

Cons:

The breakfast selection was not that large.

Pros:

Interni, arredamento, posizione

Cons:

Ci hanno messo al 4 piano per 5 giorni con l ascensore in riparazione(0 sconti o cambio camera).
La colazione non è di qualità, ogni piatto salato è fatto con 45 kg di aglio(tradizione loro, che rispetto assolutamente, ma non si avvicina nemmeno lontanamente alla colazione “superba” indicata nelle qualità dell hotel)

It was a great place to stay.
Pros:

The hotel location is just perfect to explore the old town as well as the prague castle and the Mala strana area which has a lot of things to do.
The room was cozy and the covers were perfect.
The breakfast is also good with a variety of things you can try and for me the chocolate cake was really tasty.
The staff were really friendly and helpful giving some tips on places to visit.

Cons:

My only little issue would be that the outlets were too far from the bed for charging stuff.
But its an old historical building and I understand if they cant be moved freely. Still its not a big deal breaker for me.

Отлично място за спане и закуска
Pros:

Прекрасен хотел, който е в стара и автентична сграда за Прага. Локацията му е повече от прекрасна! Намира се на 1 минута пеша от Карловия мост. Около него има добри заведения за хапване и пиене на вкусна бира и множество магазини. Закуската впечатли всички от групата ни. Прекрасна храна и отлично еспресо на закуска. Отново бих отседнал тук.

Cons:

Възглавницата можеше да е малко по-удобна. Тази беше много висока и не беше най-комфортната за мен.

Pros:

Η τοποθεσία

Cons:

Δεν είχε ανσασερ. Το πρωινό σερβίρεται στο υπόγειο. Εμείς μείναμε στον 2ο. Αρκετός θόρυβος λόγω εργασιών μέσα στο ξενοδοχείο. Πολυσύχναστη περιοχή, αρκετος εξωτερικός θόρυβος.

Pros:

Хорошее расположение. Приятные ребята на завтраке. Хороший завтрак.

Cons:

Забронировал Делюкс, при въезде хотели поселить в стандарт, когда спустился на рецепшин, спросил почему так? Ответили это маркетинг, номер на ремонте. Ок, почему тогда оплата как за делюкс? Нехотя, морща лоб предложили другой, классом выше насколько я понял. Двухспальная кровать, это две односпальные составленные рядом, которые всю ночь разъезжались. Очень неудобно.
