Hotel itself is nice and clean but there is lots of street noise and in hot days inside is very hot and aircon or fan isn’t available and with open windows no chance of good sleep. Other than all good

Thank you for your review, you can order a room with A/C. There is a fan in every room without A/C, perhaps you didn't find it.

Quiet location 20 mins walk from city centre
Perfect location for Forum Karlin and only 20 minutes walk to Namesti Republiky or half hour walk along river to Charles Bridge. Tram stop close by and Metro station couple minutes away. Very clean, spacious room, friendly English-speaking staff. Bring/buy your own tea bags/coffee/sugar/milk though as not supplied with mugs and kettle!

The room wasn't how I expected it, in a good way. I was so happy having a big room all to my self. There were two single beds and the bathroom was big and clean. The wifi connection was impeccable. Also, there was this young lady receptionist who had a nice aura around her 😊 It's nice to see someone so smiley and friendly.

Not as I remember it
I've stayed here before, as I used to live in Karlin. Coming back tells you that past experiences were positive. The price and the location are good. However, this time it was not so great. The reception staff (which changed each day - never saw the same person twice in three days) were unreceptive and looked bothered each time I needed something. My room wasn't cleaned in three days, although I asked each morning. And, the breakfast tables were not cleaned after each customer. I ate amid the crumbs of the previous guests. Not nice. Won't be back again.

Location is excellent. 2 mins from both tram and metro stops (3 stops to town centre and 3 stops from o2 arena). Room was basic but clean. Fantastic shower. No tea or coffee in room but was a kettle if you wanted to buy any. Breakfast was basic but nice. Staff were friendly. Overall great value for money

Karlin - Prague is a hidden gem.
The Karlin was a very pleasant surprise. Though not large, the hotel is nicely upgraded and clean. The bathroom was very nice with a large and wonderful shower. This was a real treat! The room was large and had a window and a glass door to the small balcony outside. A good breakfast was served with good coffee. The tram stop to centrum, Old Town and the two main train stations is only a block away and service is frequent and comfortable. Excellent location! Staff were extremely helpful in arranging transport to the airport at a very early hour. Alternatively, one can take tram 3 or 24 to Mustek metro station and transfer to the metro green line and then to the airport bus all on one fare. It is amazing!

Clean, no frills, great transport links...........
Check in was easy. Bed was comfortable, room clean. There is a lift :-) which is brilliant when you have cases and bags. Breakfast buffet was always well stocked with several types of cheeses and meats. Great for public transport as there is the main underground line and tram stops within 200 yards. The hotel is "no frills" and suited us fine as we were only wanting the room for sleeping between sightseeing days.

Smaller hotel near public transport, bars etc
I was visiting Prague for a conference and a couple of days for sightseeing, and I chose the Karlin because it was outside the now uber-touristy Old Town area and in a more residential neighborhood with bars and restaurants. If you are looking for an alternative to the Doubletree, Clarion, Hilton, or Ramada, this is probably not the place for you. If you are looking for a quiet, very clean and comfortable room (with balcony) that you can use as a base for day trips, this would suit you. The hotel is great as a base from which to get around Prague and beyond- avoid the taxis/ tours and use public transport (Metro, tram), which is cheap, fast and efficient, and right near the hotel. The breakfast buffet will set you up for a day of sightseeing and walking (eggs, cold meat/cheese, fruit, bread, yoghurt etc). Wifi service is excellent, and the staff very nice. Want a quieter night? The local bars and restaurants offer food, wine and beer at very reasonable prices. Forgot toothpaste. shampoo or some other product? There is a toiletries shop next to the hotel. Want to pick up food for a picnic? There is a supermarket (Billa) down the street, and they have wonderful bread! Unless you are having serious Frapuccino withdrawal syndrome, I'd recommend bypassing the local Starbucks and going straight to one of the many nearby lovely coffee shops, and sample the cakes and pastries with a little coffee. Just remember to bring comfortable walking shoes (lots of cobblestone streets)!.

Good and clean hotel.
Helpful staff. In odd hours, they provided me general pain killer medicine. Also close to Florence and the city centre, just 3-4 tram stations away. Only issue was that There is no proper hotel sign board so it was difficult for me to locate it the first time.

Everything perfect
I have stayed in Karlin hotel a couple of times. It is a small, clean hotel a few steps from tram and metro station and about 15 minutes walk from the center. For me it is a great deal in terms of value for money. Some rooms may be better and bigger than others, but overall they are comfortable and pleasant. There is a restaurant garden next to the hotel, so some of the rooms can be a bit noisy, but that is not really a problem as the restaurant closes at a reasonable time. Breakfast is served in the restaurant. If you are looking for a reasonable priced hotel, clean and pleasant, in a nice neighbourhood with friendly staff Karlin os for you.

No room service.
I was in Prague to play in the European Poker Tour, which means the hours that I kept were far from normal. The only reason I booked this hotel was for the advertised 24 hour room service. Not only is there no room service, the Restaurant closes at 10 pm. Having said that the Restaurant was very good. Room was in excellent condition. Very close to public transportation, so close that the trolley is on the street the Hotel is located on. Bring ear plugs. Trolley runs every 10 minutes, throughout day and night.
