Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Compact bathrooms in some rooms — At least one guest found the shower powerful but a little small, suggesting the en-suite can feel tight.

“The riverside location was stunning, with the main sights within easy reach. My room was one of the largest on board — spacious and well equipped. The breakfast in the boat's restaurant was superb, with a wide range of choices. I'd strongly recommend this hotel for a Prague stay.”

“A fantastic stay — the location was perfect for reaching the Old Town and public transport. The room offered an amazing river view, comfortable beds, and a powerful though compact shower. Staff were friendly and accommodating, and having breakfast brought to the room was a nice extra. Despite minor issues mentioned in other reviews, I'd fully recommend it.”

8.9Verified guest

“Unpretentious luxury just inches from the ducks, coots, seabirds, and swans. Opening the windows reveals wonderful riverside views. Good showers and a minibar. Staff were friendly and helpful, and the restaurant is popular, with good local dining nearby too. Together with its neighbour Klotylda, it's a fantastic experience.”
