The location is the standout feature. Guests repeatedly mention being able to walk to the main attractions, with one calling it "a perfect location." Another says, "Everything is within reach."

Best Reviews: Bohemian & Saxon Switzerland Day Trip From Prague
The bit the hotel does not tell you
The hotel is located right in front of the Kafka statue, a useful landmark. Some rooms face the street and can be noisy, so requesting an interior room might be wise if you are sensitive to sound. The metro and tram are just a two-minute walk away, making it easy to explore beyond the centre.
