Hotel Karlin

Excellent Rooms! The team is in general kind, mainly Barbora. The breakfast is a little so so, but it's okay... It's not so near of the Centre, but you can go on foot, 15 minutes.. I recommend.. I stayed in a single room..

Lady at the front desk was very helpful. Lots of restaurants and grocery stores nearby. TV with a Netflix app was a nice touch. Great location, however, the street is very noisy - quid pro quo.

Amongst 3-star hotels, this is a very nice one. We've stayed there in January and in August and loved it a lot. It is resided 20 minutes walk from the very city center, near Krizikova subway station, on a cozy street in a beautiful old building. Nearby there is a park with a playground and a gothic church. The rooms are finely furnished, with an antique accent in their otherwise laconic design. They provided a super-nice baby cot for free in our standard double room. Reception works 24h and always ready for help. All receptionists speak good English as well as some of them do Russian, and, of course, Czech. They provide a buffet breakfast in a restaurant downstairs included for all people staying in the room. Meal is quite basic: bacon and eggs, cereal, cheese, yoghurt, fruits and vegetables, — though is really tasty and always present during morning time, a very good basis for a whole day walking. Free WiFi in the rooms is stable and high speed. Some disadvantages that made me not to put excellent were: some problems with cleanliness (linen was not always clean, and so sometimes were towels; though they changed it quickly upon request. Also they don't wash the floor in the restaurant every day); there is no fridge in rooms, so you need to put your food to a single shared fridge downstairs; there is also no air cooler in rooms so hardly comfortable during the heat; and, lastly, the street is quite noisy because of trams buzzing day and night so if your room faces the street, either you close the windows and deprive yourself fresh air or use ear plugs or something. In total, it's still a great place to stay and definitely my choice when visiting Prague.

In April 2019, I visited Prague for business after many years and searched for a reasonable accommodation close to the company I was about to visit. The hotel Karlin seemed to fulfill all my needs, so I made the booking. The trip started hard as my check-in luggage either did not arrive, or was collected by someone else by mistake. All my clothes, toiletries, medications - everything was gone for time I could not predict (lesson learnt - always put a clean shirt, important medication and basic toiletries in the cabin baggage!). I picked up the booked car from the car rental at the airport (I got a nice upgrade from Ford Focus to Skoda Karoq), boldly refused the navigation relying on my WorldSIM to use Google Maps in my phone (foolish as, for some weird reason, the SIM card operated on 3G, not 4G, hence, too slow to load Maps), got my colleague in, and off we went soon realising we had to rely on my 15-year old memories of the city. Surprisingly, although Karlin looked very different from what I remembered (all the new buildings erected after the disastrous floods in 2005 made it a whole new district, even movies, such as the Casino Royal were shot there), we found the hotel and the trip became more enjoyable. The hotel was very clean, cosy (I switched my booked room with my colleague as I preferred a room with a balcony - the balcony availability was not clear from the hotel website), well-maintained, with staff trying to relieve my difficulties with advice which shops were still open to buy some food and drinks, offered basic toiletries for a reasonable price, and encouraged me the missing suitcase would be found soon. The internet connection was fast, the bed comfortable, the shower hot - I felt more relaxed and the world was a better place again. Both my colleague and me enjoyed the Indian-style breakfast with a nice selection of cheese and vegetables, more- and less-hot dips and a plenty of coffee. Shame on me since, being stressed about the lost suitcase, I did not take any pictures of this nice hotel I can only recommend. Next time I'll do so for sure. And yes, the following day, when I finished my job and returned to the hotel late afternoon, my lost suitcase was waiting for me in the reception. It was covered with strange dirt but did not disclose its adventures, so to date, I have no idea what happened. Mysteries happen to give colours to our lives.

Bad customer service. Prepare to being treated like a necessary evil. You have to ask about everything and the receptionists do not seem obliged to explain how the hotel works and seem offended if you do so. Water from the shower goes everywhere in the bathroom, because there is no proper shower curtain. The room that we had is definitely not a three star. The furniture in the room is partially destroyed, the same goes for the 'restaurant' part. Definitely not recommend.

It is a small hotel in Prague. It is near metro station so everything is easy to reach. The hotel it self was clean, and the rooms were OK. We had a balcony that was oriented into the inside of the hotel. And the view was a wall. The breakfast was simple but good. The bathroom would need a bit modernization but everything was clean and functional.

Very nice little hotel in a quieter area of Prague but still very close to the city center even by walk. The room was clean and tidy, the breakfast was tasty and the staff even arranged a breakfast to go for us since we had to leave earlier on our last day. The staff was friendly and helpful. The only negative thing was that our room was facing the street with tram rail so when we opened the window, we could hear the trams and cars quite a lot but it was bearable.

The Hotel has a great location. Metro and tram stations are very close, but this means you will be awoken quite early if you like to sleep with open windows. Starbucks is a walking distance away, the neighborhood is safe and clean. The rooms are clean and ours had very nice bathroom. What it lacked was air condition. We were there in the summer and it was hot. When the windows were left open, the noise would wake us up quite early. While the breakfast leaves much to be desired for it is good. The staff is very friendly. Overall we quite liked our stay here and would return.
