Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Walls were so dirty they had chunks of something on them. There were hair balls on the floor. Would not recommend for someone that likes a clean hotel. Owners said they don't have time to clean the walls. And they were rude about it. Great location though.
Easy check in, pleasant staff and lovely room. If you go to bed before midnight though, do not stay in Room 7. Piano player sets up right under the window and keeps you up. Man at front desk simply shrugged and explained that the player likes that spot and too bad for me
Convenient for all our plans while staying in Prague Old Town.

We were a little disappointed with this hotel, given the great reviews we had read. The main benefit is the location and we really enjoyed it.
But besides that the hotel is a little run down. The doors are hard to close; cabinets are uneven, our window didn’t close properly. When made aware of the issue, staff shrugged that they didn’t have anyone to fix it; it seemed to be a known problem. This was exacerbated by the fact that they let a piano player play until past midnight in the street right below our window, and we could hear everything because we couldn’t close the window. But this didn’t seem to bother them to have a musician pick this exact spot in the long alley where he could have settled.
In addition they served us expired milk with coffee at breakfast.
The hotel is cute and centrally located but we didn’t feel that we could enjoy it as much as we were hoping for given several issues that came up.
Nice place. The bathroom fixtures are a bit outdated, but the whole place was very clean. The bed wasn’t super comfortable, but it’s a perfect location if you want to be in the center of the tourist area.
Air con. Water kettle in room. No coffee maker. Spacious. If you have mobility issues do not book third floor. Right in the mix of it all. Just off the square with the famous clock. Great vegan restaurant next door. Just book it! All staff were wonderful!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Liked the location and the building itself, didn't like no air conditioner. Otherwise a great property and staff were excellent.
Front desk staff were both pleasant and helpful.
The hotel is in a great part of the old city.
I loved the Cathedral bells in the morning, did not like the noisy party people in the street, but that is nothing to do with the hotel.
2 night stay, hotel is in a very good central location (30 second walk) from the main square. Nice hotel with very friendly & helpful staff. Would definitely recommend
