Vintage Design Hotel Sax

A lovely, quirky hotel

Just returned from a 5 day stay at the Hotel Sax in Prague and I can definitely recommend it. The location is good if you want somewhere in easy walking distance to the main sights (10 minutes from the Charles Bridge) but away from the hustle and bustle of the centre. It also felt very safe with the US embassy down the road and the strong security presence they had. We had a deluxe room, which was an adequate size, clean and comfortable. The only slight downside was that the beds were a little firm for me, but I requested an extra duvet to sleep on (and provide a bit of extra padding) which was dealt with immediately and without a fuss. The staff were always friendly and efficient. The little things really made the stay, like the free laptop in the room which was helpful in finding good restaurants and the like. We also made good use of the DVD player in the room and the 2000 strong DVD library, although at times it was fun trying to work out what the film was if the cover was in Czech! Food wise I have no complaints either. There was a good selection for breakfast, particularly for the hot meals that they cooked to order. The complimentary afternoon tea was also a nice touch that we made use of most days. All in all, we really enjoyed our stay here and would definitely stay here again.

Traveller's tip

Don’t worry about there being no tea and coffee facilities in the rooms, as there is a little room off the lobby where you can get hot and cold water at any time of day, and there is a good selection of complimentary tea bags. Unfortunately coffee/hot chocolate comes out of a machine and has to be paid for although it’s not expensive. There’s usually a complimentary bowl of apples too!

Outstanding Hotel in quiet neighborhood

The Vintage Design Sax is a lovely hotel situated in the quiet neighborhood of Mala Strana. It was a short walk (8 mins) to the Charles Bridge. The staff was wonderful and very accomodating. The complimentary breakfast was superb and they served a variety of cheeses, fruits, cereal or you can order from the menu and they will cook it up for you. They even offer a tea time which offered teas, wine, beer and deserts. The only thing that we had to get used to was the small bathroom, but this is to be expected in Europe. I would definitely stay here again!

A wee cracker

Wondered if the deco might have been a bit too much but it was great. Loved this hotel and the staff helped to make our stay a very enjoyable one. The afternoon tea was a nice touch too. Loved Prague and the fact that everything was within easy walking distance. This hotel was in a great location up near the castle.
