Nice Hotel with air condition in each room separately. Extrem friendly staff at the reception. Roof top bar with a nice view. Breakfast is good
The boat is quite old and had an array of different carpets, was dusty and dirty. There was mold all over the bathroom and just not kept up to date. The experience was what we were looking for but should have probably gone with a cruise. The location was about 25 mins for the city.

The AC did not work in the room. It was so and humid that we had to wait for almost 6 hours to get in the room. They did not change the room.
We paid for parking as well which was mentioned as free n Expedia and infact was the reason for us to book the property. I usually never leave bad rating but this really disappointed me.
I arrived in Prague early in the evening. Even though it was like 5:30, it was dark. Upon arriving to the hotel, I walked down the gang plank (if you will), walked in, and a very nice person who spoke English helped me. Unfortunately, none of my credit cards worked with her machine, though in fairness, I did not tell my banks that I was going to the Czech Republic for the weekend.. LOL
She was very accommodating none the less. I wound up paying her in Euros, and for an extra 3 Euros, I had breakfast the following morning while looking out the window at the river and at Prague.
Did I mention the view? I took SO many photos of Prague, and a few were out the window from my "botel" room! looking at the reflection of the lights on the water of the river as it flowed by was really awesome!
I will say that it is a bit off of the beaten path, but I walked all over Prague the next day, including along the river from the Botel, and I was VERY happy to do it. The architecture, the bridges, the views of so much... I took more photos of Prague than anywhere else I have been EVER, and that is saying something!
Un hotel particular. Personal amable. La cama de matrimonio muy cómoda, las literas no tanto. En el baño, bastante pequeño, tenía desconchones la ducha, pero limpiaban todos los días. Lo mejor los desayunos!! Relación calidad-precio, muy buena. Volvería.
Store rom, men lite bad. God frokost, men restauranten var ikke åpen annet enn til frokost. Baren var også stengt, så var kun et lite område å sitte ute på.
AV funket effektivt og bra. Også pluss for grei beliggenhet ifm offentlig transport.
Bra läge, nära till centrum men ändå en bit bort så det var lugnt och skönt. Fin utsikt över floden vid frukost.

Bra parkering, rummet var mysigt, svalt och luftigt med luftkonditionering (var 34 grader ute ) med sköna sängar och lite kylskåp på rummet och hade varit riktigt bra om det inte varit för att det luktade väldigt starkt av något oplacerat. Såpass att det kändes som man gick in i en vägg av lukt när man steg in i rummet. Botellet är lite slitet och på kväll/morgonen fanns det döda flygmyror i badrummet.
Något annat som drar ner betyget rejält är att när vi kom hem på kvällen och ville ta något kallt att dricka innan sovdags samt njuta av den varma kvällen så gick det inte att betala med kort i baren utan bara kontantbetalning något som inte nämnts eller informerats om. Som tur var hade vi euro med oss- men någon växel fick vi inte tillbaka, det hade han inte.
Frukosten smakade bra men det är oerhört trångt och svårt att komma tillbaka för att hämta t ex kaffe och juice.
Tvärs över gatan finns en restaurang väl värd ett besök - the Italians. Bra service och god mat!!
Smidigt att beställa en Bolt/Über för att åka in till Gamla stan- bolt var billigare.
Super mysigt ställe där du kunde se båtar åka förbi från ditt rum och härligt med frukost vid floden. Adressen som står på Hotel.com stämde dock inte.

Alt aber recht zentral gelegen. Personal freundlich und Frühstück Gut.
I like the property because it is 3 blocks from the metro. The views on the water are lovely however it is going to get cold at nights and hot during afternoons. The suites are a fair price that are a large size and the breakfast is surprisingly great.
El lugar esta bien, despertarte y ver el rio es genial, tiene buen desayuno, completo y la sala de arriba con vistas mientras desayunas son muy buenas.

Negativa: Na pokoji byla nefunkční lednice, obtékala sprcha, nedaly se zavřít dveře od koupelny, zařízení značně použité - zasloužilo výměnu. Nikde jsem se předem nedozvěděla, že na botelu jsou neustále nějaké kovové zvuky, zřejmě uchycení botelu ke břehu, což v noci ruší lidi s lehkým spánkem.
Pozitiva: Vstřícný personál, výborná snídaně, dobrá lokalita nedaleko metra.
Im Zimmer riecht es etwas modrig, besonders im Badezimmer. Der Check in war kompliziert. Kein TV im Zimmer, Frühstück eher sparsam. Insgesamt ziemlich runtergewohnt!
Tohle ubytko nemá chybu ..ze svého pokoje jsem měla úžasný vyhled na Vyšehrad , pod okny plující labutě .. ve večerních hodinách jsem ani nechtěla opustit pokoj , protože jsem cítila to krasne kouzlo Prahy .. proste na lodi a jako v pohádce ..ráno na me čekala super snidane v restauraci opět s dokonalým výhledem a sluníčko svítilo , tak po snídani jsem si posedela na terase lodi , která je otevřená .. a nesmím zapomenout na úžasného Pana na recepci , takový přístup jsem dlouho nezažila .. jednou mi udělal kavicku , jiný den odnesl kufr , až na pokoj a ta ochota a milost , cítila jsem se tam jako doma a ta energie těch úžasných lidi byla cítit .. jezdím do Prahy z Londýna velice částo a vím , ze každý můj pobyt bude už jen na Vodníků ... jej a dostala jsem také balíček na cestu domu , jelikož jsem nestihala snídani a bylo to jak od maminky .. proste toto ubytko je TOP dokonalosti .. žádná 5* , ale pohadkove místo na Vltavě

Nicht empfehlenswert
Bei der Ankunft hat man mir erzählt das meine hotels.com Buchung nicht bestätigt ist. Man hat mir daraufhin ein 50% teureres Zimmer angeboten. Die Angestellten haben keine Maske getragen und die Angestellten im Restaurant haben ohne Maske und Abstand mit Erkältungssymtomen gearbeitet. Eine Angestellte hat in die Hand gehustet und danach noch nichteinmal Hände gewaschen. Eine Zimmerreinigung nach der ersten Nacht hat nicht stattgefunden.
