This hotel was great to stay in, so beautiful inside. The area is generally quiet. Although up a large hill it is in a decent area however people with mobility issues would struggle with the hill. Would stay in this hotel again and recommend to others.

Great building, so-so hotel
The only positive thing to say is that the hotel is in a building of architectural and historical interest, good location if you want to be in Mala Strana. Otherwise, it’s a mediocre place to stay, with run down rooms in need of renovation. Barebones amenities, a below average breakfast. The charm on the promotional photos does not materialize in real life.

Very old authentic hotel with stained glass windows depicting historic portraits of Czech people which was different and I liked that. Beautiful balustrades on staircase and artistic ceilings which added beauty and character to the place. Our 3rd floor superior room was spacious with more than enough cupboard space and contained very old solid wooden furniture in keeping with the character of the hotels age and style. Due to small stained glass window, the room lacked natural daylight but there was adequate electric lighting. The bathroom was spacious and adequately equipped. The breakfast dining room is small but the staff in there were efficient and pleasant. If you are wheat intollerant like me, then the eggs and greek yoghurt are nice plus there was corn and rice crackers with packets of varied spreads. There is a coffee machine and teabag selection plus juice. Several cereals and excellent choice of dried fruit and seeds. The hotel is up a steep hill past the castle so you need strong legs and good lungs. There is one slow lift in hotel and it is only big enough for 2 average sized people with cabin cases. Overall its ok for a few days.

A great little hotel, away from the crowds
A lovely hotel, tucked away, under the castle walls and lovely and peaceful, at night, once the cathedral and castle visitors have left. It is a little out of the way, and up a steep hill, but that all adds to the charm. A lovely stay in a beautiful hotel. Highly recommend for those who are happy to be away from the thronging tourists.

Very happy!
Friendly staff, fun decor, good breakfast included, pretty good location (it's an easy walk from the castle—I think you could argue that there are more sights on the other side of the river in the old town, but the castle is probably the biggest single attraction). Downside of the location is that you had to walk down the hill a bit to catch an Uber (apparently you're too close to the Castle) but generally it wasn't a big deal, and most would still drop you off in front of it. I had the fruit plate delivered to my room, and it was huge and generally very good (I thought the pineapple was exceptionl). Very happy with my choice and would likely stay there again if I returned to Prague

Picturesque and full of character
We loved how cosy and characteristic the hotel was, with wooden furniture and stained glass windows. The staff were attentive and helpful, and breakfast offered a good variety of tasty food. The location is quiet and perfect to visit every corner of Hradčany and Mala Straná. Slightly more negative notes were the absence of air conditioning (we were visiting during a heatwave) and the fact that the staff was a bit insistent in asking us to vacate the room as soon as possible five minutes before check out time. Overall we would recommend it for anyone who prefers small hotels to big chains.

Dear guest, Thank you for your review of Hotel U Krále Karla. We are delighted by your lovely comments regarding the hotel location. Hotel U Krále Karla indeed has no air conditioning as the historical building of the hotel is protected by UNESCO protocol and we are not allowed to do any major construction intervention to the building. During summer months we provide fans to the rooms. Windows in all rooms, if properly shut, can be actually opened only from the inside and it is not possible to open them from the outside. Thank you again for your review and for staying with us. Kind regards, Petra Švejdová Room Division Manager

The location is good for people without mobility issues. We loved to be near the castle and be able to walk to it and to the Charles bridge. The staff is welcoming and very helpful. The breakfast was good. The only thing that was not expected is the size of the shower- it’s tiny. It may creat an issue for some guests. The bed was on a firm side, a bit too firm, but the rest is what you may expect from authentic old Prague hotel. We enjoyed the stay.

Dear Nika, Thank you for your review of Hotel U Krále Karla and your kind words about our staff and breakfast. We are glad that you enjoyed your stay. It is true that climbing the hill could be a little bit demanding, luckily there is a tram stop called Pohořelec above the hotel. Our guests can take tram 22 up to this stop and then walk about 5 minutes down to the hotel. Our hotel has 19 rooms and every room as well as its bathroom is different in features. If you tell us at the reception we are usually able to find a room which may suit you more. Thank you again for your review and feedback. We will be looking forward to welcoming you back.

Prague is so beautiful and the Krale Karla was a perfect place to stay. Very characteristic and very comfortable. It’s up a hill in the castle area but we managed fine with luggage. Breakfast was great, too. Beautiful stay. I would go to this hotel again.

Nice clean room, greate location - few minutes waking distance to city and from Hradcany Castel. Really antique hotel with all XXI century amenities. Nothing complain except : Parking for a car. This hotel has only 2 parking spots. It's very hard to find any parking place in "blue" zone, especially if you check in at night. And cost extra as well.

Dear guest, Thank you for your candid review. We are sorry that your stay in Hotel U Krále Karla did not meet your expectations. We take our guests´ comments very seriously and always strive to provide comfortable and friendly accommodations. Most of our rooms in Superior category are located on the fourth floor and have a painted sloping ceiling with stained glass bow windows which actually a lot of our guests find charming. These rooms also provide a little bit of view of Petrin hill. I am sorry that you did not tell us during your stay as we could have moved you into a room which would suit you more. I apologize for the ripped bed cover in your room. We are in process of renewing the bed covers and the older ones should be exchanged in the next weeks. I am sorry that our breakfast service was not up to your satisfaction. The breakfast room is not very large, however, we do our best to prepare rich and varied breakfast every morning. We have been also making a lot of improvements recently so we believe that everyone will find what they like on our breakfast menu. If it happens that you cannot choose from the selection you can always ask our helpful breakfast staff. Thank you for your kind words regarding our convenient location and attractive common parts.
