Dendrological Garden of the Silva Tarouca

The hotel is located on the opposite side of a small park right opposite the main railway station. This was absolutely ideal for our purposes as we made several trips out by rail during our stay. It is also within a three minute walk to two different tram stops which will get you to most parts of the city. It is quite close to Wenceslas Square in the New Town part of the city, and there are several restaurants close by in Jindrisska Street. The hotel is a traditional building and sits on an acute corner, so some of the rooms have an unusual shape looking at the floor plan. Our rooms were on the inside so although we had no view they were extremely quiet and very comfortable. The walk-in shower and toilet were immaculate and the door to this area was cleverly hinged so that it could cinceal the whole room or just the toilet on its own. We did not take breakfast although it was available as this did not really suit our itinerary, but there are several outlets on the station serving fresh coffee, pastries etc. We arrived quite early before the official check in time but as our rooms were ready we were allowed to occupy them which was very welcome after a long overnight journey. A very friendly welcoming place, which reflected our experience all over the country during our week there.

This is not a hotel with a lobby or staff on site. You are given your code to get into the building the day of and there is no airport shuttle or luggage storage. The room was clean and there were 3 actual twin beds so that was nice but the decor and furniture are dated. It is very close to the castle so also a plus. One of our beds was extremely loud with very squeaky springs. We were not able to control the ac ourselves so we had to open windows but the street noise is very loud.

Staff is friendly and they speak Spanish
