Hotel Neruda, Prague, Czech Republic - Explore & Book

"A stone's throw from Prague Castle, at the top of Nerudova Street or King's Road, Hotel Neruda - named after a 19th-century writer and philosopher - hides its light under a bushel. What a welcome change in this exuberant city of a hundred spires, sights and sounds. You would be forgiven for assuming that the genteel chocolate-box facade spells olde-worlde lodgings. Inside, however, contemporary design cool contrasts starkly with the quaint exterior. A striking balance of old and new is maintained throughout: the occasional carriage clock or ornate mirror stand out against the clean white lines and dark woods that characterise Neruda. The modern makeover complements the character of this 1348 building, and the new wing offers more availability. The owners pride themselves on the efforts made to blend this 21st-century hotel into the yesteryear appeal of Mala Strana, while the unfailingly helpful staff are an added bonus. Highs A quiet, picturesque location in easy reach of the castle and Charles Bridge 21st-century comfort in a 14th-century setting Spotless, roomy ensuites with complimentary designer toiletries, plus many have spoiling tubs Delicious big breakfasts served buffet-style in the atrium Small spa with a Jacuzzi and sauna for post-sightseeing relaxation Lows Neruda sits at the top of a steep hill, so best look elsewhere if you'll find this difficult No hotel grounds or balconies for enjoying the views The café only serves breakfasts, light meals and treats, but there's plenty of choice for dinner nearby Extra beds are limited so not advisable for families Some rooms have see-through bathrooms which won't suit everyone" - Laila Ram
