Prague Golden Age

Hotel is worth to choose for its location and price. If your are not picky regarding the age of the hotel, it is definately a place to stay for short visits. The only disadvatage it the abcence of elevator ( you need to carry all your bags ) You are just 5-8 min walking distance to popular sights, restaurants and parks

On the positive side: great location. Ok rooms and cleanliness. But that's about it. Both in the reviews of the hotel and in their own brochure they boast about their breakfast buffet. What did we get? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Not even a glass of water. The young man who met us when we checked in told us that there were boilers in the rooms, and tea and coffee. There wasn't. He later told us that he was wrong, but that we could use the kitchen on the 1st floor. Not very tempting. It was full of used glasses and mugs, there was not even a cheap little teabag for us, but a cupboard with a sign on it: Only for staff. This kind of "welcome" belongs in a cheap youth hostel, not in an expensive hotel. We checked prices in the neighbourhood. All of them would have been a better deal than this one. What a lie. What a disappointment. And to add to all of this: Not a single café in the neighbourhood that opens before 10 or 11, where you can get a nice breakfast. Many others have mentioned the stairs. They are terrible. And try to get some help with the suitcase from the young woman at the reception? Forget it. I was probably three times her age. Not one finger to help. She definitely had had vinegar for breakfast. Two of the others we met were nice, but it does not improve the overall impression of an overpriced, overrated hotel that even today lies about what they can offer.

The location was super, with a market right outside the door and easy walk to Town Square, Charles Bridge, shopping, etc... we also walked to St Vitus Cathedral and Palace area & we're not young! We were there 2 nights & it was perfectly adequate. It was warm however, and the room was stuffy. We kept window open in the evening as long as we could, but there was partying going on in town so it was pretty noisy. Also the twin beds were a little soft for our liking, but that's on us. There was no free or otherwise breakfast . they did have a refrigerator on the 2nd floor. No lift, but we didn't expect one.
