Domus Balthasar Boutique Hotel

What a beautiful place to stay. Steps away from the Charles bridge and in the centre of the historic area, the location was perfect. The staff at reception (across the street) were very helpful and met us where the taxi dropped off. We had a suite of rooms consisting of lounge, bedroom (with two doubles) and an incredible bathroom with double shower and chandelier. The rooms were spotlessly clean and came with all of the extras you would expect from a boutique hotel - robes, slippers, toiletries, nespresso maker & pods, and a mini bar. Other reviews have mentioned noise from the street cleaners in the morning but we didn’t see it as too much of a problem - yes we heard it but only for a few minutes and worth the overall cleanliness of the city. Plenty of restaurants and cafe bars within walking distance. 15 min walk to the Cafe Slavia for a luxury breakfast experience or a few minutes away from Starbucks so we were happy with a room only basis. Loads of evening meal choices too. 20 minute walk (or climb) to the castle area and about 10 minutes to the old town square. As an old building, there is no elevator so would not suit those with mobility issues - although with the amount walking required in Prague I doubt this would be an issue for most visitors. Couldn’t fault this hotel and would definitely want to stay again. Thank you to the staff for your hard work.

It’s advertised as a 4* hotel, which it’s not. A definition of a hotel is one that has a reception desk and services to support your stay. While a great location, and the rooms are very nice - be aware you are booking an AirBnb style apartment with next to no service apart from a few people behind the tourist information desk the other side of the street who seem to manage the property. Very poor check in experience, wasn’t told how anything worked, no idea if there even was breakfast or where it was - so we didn’t bother. That said, the location is fantastic and the rooms were very nice and clean - but HOT, no aircon which in August with 30++ degree heat means limited sleep.
