Buddha-Bar Hotel Prague

I stayed at this hotel for the second time, from August 5 to 7, 2025, in Room 45. Overall, I remain impressed with the location, creative design, and attentive staff. However, I encountered a few notable inconveniences: 1. The hotel is overdue for renovations. Wear and tear are clearly visible and detract from the overall experience. 2. For a hotel with an Asian-inspired concept, the absence of smart toilets—similar to those commonly found in Japan—is disappointing. 3. The lighting and window shade controls are outdated, overly complicated, and unintuitive. The number of buttons is overwhelming. 4. The air conditioning and heating system is old, excessively loud, and doesn’t meet the quality expectations of a premium hotel. I had to physically get up to adjust the temperature multiple times, which gave it more of a cheap motel vibe. 5. While the pillows were among the best I’ve ever used, the mattress was worn out. It caused back pain and discomfort in nearly every joint. That pain disappeared as soon as I slept elsewhere, confirming the issue. Despite these problems, I will definitely return—but only after a comprehensive renovation. I’d even be willing to pay a higher rate if these upgrades were made.

Our stay at the Buddha-Bar Hotel was absolutely fantastic. The suite was beautifully designed, spotlessly clean, and had a unique atmosphere that made the experience truly special. You can tell that great attention has been paid to the details. There were a couple of minor issues during our stay, but the way the staff handled everything was impressive – quick, professional, and extremely friendly. We felt genuinely well taken care of throughout our visit. The breakfast deserves a special mention – it was simply outstanding, with a wide variety of high-quality options and impeccable service. All in all, it was a wonderful stay from start to finish. We’ll definitely come back and can highly recommend the Buddha-Bar Hotel to anyone looking for a luxurious and memorable experience in Prague.

Unfortunately the hotel doesn’t have any cooling air conditioning. This results in a very uncomfortable stay and disturbed sleep. We bought chocolate for Easter and it turned to soup with the heat in the room. To make matters worse, reception called the room at 10am on the weekend to say they forgot to take passport details at check in and we needed to come to reception urgently. The call woke us from a rare lie in on a rare day off work. Hotel reception seemed more intent on completing their paperwork after their mistake than caring about guest convenience and comfort. No service recovery offered. . . ||On a positive note the room is nice and breakfast good. Location also good. ||But for me the hotel should be openly advertising they don’t offer cooling a/c in any room as I don’t believe they can be 5 star rated when they don’t have this function. We stayed in April so I can only imagine how awful the heat would be in the room during summer.

We stayed there for 4 nights and it was fantastic. The rooms are very large and very modern. We had one minor "could be better" suggestion: The awesome shower needs a shower door. The floor of the bathroom gets soaked without it. Not a huge deal. I looked for weeks to find the best hotel deal and I do think this was it. We walked by the other comparable hotels and even ones that were more expensive for similar rooms and this clearly was the best location. Close enough to pretty much everything for a first time trip while still being on a relatively quiet street. We walked by New Town and some of those luxury places in Mala Strana and I do think this was the best option for feeling safe and close to everything. And it honestly was about 33% cheaper than a lot of those other options. Excellent staff as well. They printed tickets for us, got us a higher level room when we asked, and got us an iron/extra towels in minutes after asking. They were great. Restaurant was solid too, but that'll be in a different review. It's just nice having a dinner option nearby after walking for miles and miles all day lol.

Visited the restaurant with my friend who is vegetarian and has a severe nut allergy. The staff were phenomenal from start to finish, they told my friend which dishes to avoid and reassured her that they would do everything to ensure there is no cross-contamination. Not all restaurants take allergies seriously but from the start Buddha Bar did which meant she was able to enjoy her meal! Would really recommend this restaurant! :)

Very dark moody super stylish hotel great first impression. Gorgeous room. Massive uber comfortable bed soft pillows. Stunning bathroom and incredible mini bar with everything you could ever want and more!!! Breakfast till 1pm is a fantastic option and gives a wonderful feeling of not being in a rush. Very chilled. Good selection of food from the buffet and cooked food to order with a paid option for speciality dishes|Our only complaint was either due to poor communication from reception or just inefficiency from housekeeping team. For a 5 star establishment I wouldn’t expected to have to even ask for soap never mind ask 3 times. We requested some assistance with the heating as the room was uncomfortably hot, again 3 times before it got sorted . Housekeeping was inconsistent. Glasses not changed so we had to wash them ourselves to reuse. One towel for two people on some days, complimentary chocolates and drinking water on two days ( we stayed for 4) very dusty room (see photos) with cleaning equipment and trolley left under cover in the hall ways, not exactly 5 star. Romantic spa option not available due to Technical issue!!||Disappointing, 5 star price 3 or 4 star service it most definitely was not “5 star with above average service” that they claim on their website

This hotel is so beautiful. Everything is walking distance tons of restaurants, places to shop, and explore. It is also only 20mins from the airport. I honestly can’t wait to visit again.

I had an absolutely terrible experience at this hotel. The room temperature was unbearably high, and despite my attempts to adjust the thermostat, I couldn’t get it to a comfortable level. I hardly slept the entire night because of it. To make matters worse, the staff were incredibly unhelpful. When I mentioned the issue with the room temperature, they didn’t seem to care and barely acknowledged my concerns. The hotel itself is far smaller than I expected, and there’s no real lobby to speak of. The photos made the place look much more inviting than it actually is. One of the most frustrating aspects was the bathroom. In the pictures, there was a nice shower, but we were stuck with a bathtub that made it extremely difficult to take a proper shower. I can only say the location was great. I won’t be returning to this hotel and would not recommend it to anyone. There are plenty of better options out there.

Ideal 5 Star Boutique Hotel in Ideal Location of Ideal City. What more can I say about the Buddha Bar Hotel Prague. It's more of a 5 star Ritz Carlton Luxury residence with your own personal staff than a hotel. Everything about this hotel is sleek and sexy, from the tiled floors and Buddha statue in the main lobby to the see through glass elevator, to the uniquely and exquisitely appointed first class rooms. Every creature comfort imaginable has been provided in your room. The beds are super comfortable, the Bang & Olufsen entertainment system is amazing (including Buddha Bar soundtracks), rooms are equipped with a Nespresso coffee machine inside a Chinese lacquer chifforobe, electric blinds, and electric toilet in separate room from main bathroom rain shower, dragon mosaic bathtub with television etched into the bathroom mirror, free wifi, and more. Included in your rate is complimentary hot breakfast and buffet each morning at the chic Siddharta Cafe. The pancakes are out of this world and the Tonio Lamborghini Italian roast coffee and hot chocolate they serve is the finest I have had anywhere in the world. At night, complimentary turn down bed service includes a tray with chocolate truffles and the following day's weather report. In addition, you receive complimentary access to Kotva Fitness--a full service, high end gym located within a 2 minute walk from the hotel at the nearby Kotva Mall. For a fitness fanatic, such as myself, this was highly welcome. The hotel is located in an ideal, quiet corner of the city yet only a few minute walk to Old Town and other popular sites and nearby restaurants and bars. The front desk staff is most accommodating and was more like family--assisting me effortlessly with my non-stop questions and providing outstanding recommendations. I have stayed at numerous luxury property hotels around the world and the Buddha Bar Hotel is easily right up there, if not at the very top. I have stayed here twice and gladly look forward to returning again in the near future. P.S....the hotel frequently offers specials if you stay a minimum 3 nights and/or book an advanced, non-cancelable rate. You can check their website for more details and/or contact the hotel directly. They sometimes--not always--will upgrade your room at no additional cost depending upon occupancy rate. First class hotel all around. Exceptional value for the quality of hotel, service, and amenities you receive !!....felt a little funny staying in an Asian themed hotel in the middle of Eastern Europe at first, but the Zen-like experience will simply WOW you within minutes and serves as an excellent and relaxing, oasis-like contrast.

BuddhaBar hotel is a Boutique style hotel, super trendy, extremely comfortable located minutes from the center of Prague. There's also a Buddha Bar inside of this hotel which is one of the best bars in town. The people at the reception were very friendly, helpful and accommodating. They guide you through the hotel with a welcome cocktail when you check in and they will always help you with your stay, tours, currency exchange and etc. Great Breakfast, Very clean, spacious room, very comfortable beds, nice design and decor.

Fantastic hotel that leaves us wanting nothing, with only one frustration: the window-blinds. First, the good: -Pickup at the train station went without a hitch. -Friendly welcome to the hotel with beautiful chocolates upon check-in. -Very helpful staff. A few of the older ones may come across as reserved at first, perhaps due to language-barrier, but their helpfulness is top-notch, often offering unsolicited help with bags, or offering refreshments when we come in hot from a long walk, even if the bar is "closed". -Super comfortable room with amazing bathroom and bedding and great attention to detail by the housekeeping staff. -Sometimes trendy means "you're on your own" a bit, but not here. -Breakfast is fantastic, with a great multicultural assortment at the buffet, as well as eggs to order, with a great smile from the server to start the day, every day. The frustrating: Window blinds are soooo hard to operate! You open one, and another closes. You try to close that one, and the first one opens! Using wall-switches, rather than remote-controls, worked slightly better but still not intuitive. Let me offer my instructions for operating the window blinds: 1. Go to university 2. Get an engineering degree 3. Then attempt to operate blinds Wifi coverage was a little spotty in some parts of our room. BOTTOM LINE: Great hotel, worth every penny, hope to stay here again.

True five star property. From the terrific greeting at the front desk to welcome drinks to gift in room this hotel is top notch. Rooms are extremely comfortable with no modern convenience skips. The employees are world class. Instead of telling you where something is - most times they LEAVE THE HOTEL and personally walk you to the destination. They even had a partnership with a great gym across the street. Can't say enough good things!! Highly recommend.

Great hotel in one of the best possible locations in Prague. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the hotel. The only reason I give it a 4 star is a few things: 1) We couldn't get the TV to shut off, it seemed rather complicated for something that should be so easy to do; 2) The lights weren't labeled, making it extremely difficult to turn on and off lights without having to try all of them; 3) The shower, while it looks amazing, it's missing a door (assuming this is to keep the modern look), but drainage was bad causing a wet bathroom. However, those tiny details are far outweighed by the positives. Friendly staff, great recommendations, located perfectly, Nespresso machine, great comfy bed, amazing mood lit room, unique, eclectic, just a fun vibe. I'd recommend to friends traveling. Stayed December 2014, traveled as a couple

We stayed at the Buddha-Bar Hotel Prague for 4 nights last week. We were super excited when we found this hotel on Trip Advisor for our upcoming Prague adventure and began watching the rates daily on multiple sites for the best prices. The rates didn't change all that much over the two month period we watched, but we did end up scoring free breakfast when we finally did book on Orbitz. I was a little worried when we pulled up in front of the hotel in our taxi. We typically stay in 5 star hotels when visiting Europe every Fall and they usually are all very similar with their big glass front doors and door men, etc. This hotel has an understated sign and a normal looking wooden door at the top of 2-3 steps...old school, if you will. We gathered our luggage and hauled it up the steps and turned the knob to open the door. Someone quickly ran and grabbed our luggage and our eyes were immediately in overload. The hotel lobby was just as beautiful as we had imagined. We were greeted by two lovely and smiling front desk staff who assisted and got us on our way to our room. We had the basic room (I think it may be called Superior or similar.) and it was gorgeous!!! The Asian theme was not over done and didn't come off as cheesy at all. It felt very luxurious and also very American Horror Story Hotel at the same time. Dark and sexy. There is plenty of room for two people to unload their luggage for a comfortable stay and plenty of room for two people to get ready together in the bathroom. That is not something that is very common in any hotel anywhere. One thing we noticed right away as we showered upon arrival was that the shower is designed very poorly. The water runs out all over the bathroom floor. I'm not sure if the space is too small or the shower head is too big for the space, but something needs to be changed in that regard. We headed down right away to the Siddharta Cafe and found all of the tables to be occupied by some sort of business meeting group. Not a problem for us. We bellied up to the bar and ordered some drinks and a snack. The bartenders were super friendly and efficient and the snack was very tasty. Later that night, we headed down to the Buddha Bar for drinks and dinner. That was an amazing meal with spot on service. I will save all the details for that for my review of that restaurant. By the second night is when we started noticing some hiccups. We went down in the late afternoon and asked the front desk staff how to get to Old Town. We had no idea we were so close to it. The front desk staff looked a little irritated that we would even ask such a question and pointed us in the right way. We brushed it off as us maybe being overly sensitive due to being tired from travel. The third night we came down and asked for recommendations for restaurants. This time, both of the front desk staff looked bored out of their minds staring at their computers and remained seated in their chairs the entire time we spoke with them. They looked irritated at us for even bothering them and didn't seem able or willing to recommend a single restaurant. They sent us in a direction telling us that we would find something that way. Very odd, but again, we tried to brush the encounter off. The final night is when I almost lost my anger when we had to ask the front desk for recommendations for dinner when we discovered the Buddha Bar restaurant is closed on Sundays and Mondays. Again, both staff remained seated the entire time and seemed pretty lost about any place to recommend. We left irritated and set out on our own in the rain to find a restaurant. We returned directly after dinner as we were just frustrated with having had to walk in the rain with no real direction and asked the front desk staff about our leaving for the airport early in the morning. I specifically asked them if we should arrange a taxi now, go in search of one in the morning, or call an Uber in the morning. I was told "You can do whatever you like.". I was boiling at this point. Of course I can do whatever I like, but I am asking the hotel staff as they are the experts due to their residency in the country and their employment at that hotel. The next morning was another bizarre ordeal with a taxi and an uber that I won't even go into detail. I will just say that we left the hotel very irritated. With that said, we absolutely loved this hotel and 100% would stay here again if we returned to Prague. We also will recommend this to any of our friends or family visiting to Prague. We just feel that the front desk staff needs to be trained a bit better to be up to par with any other 5 star hotel and that there should always be at least one bar and or restaurant open within the hotel during normal business hours...guests don't always want to leave the hotel to have a night cap or grab a quick meal.

Incredible "boutique style" modern hotel with a perfectly situated, central location in Prague. Every detail lends itself to the overall sleek and sexy vibe of the Buddha Bar brand itself. Clean/spacious rooms, friendly staff members and the attached Buddha Bar restaurant makes this a top notch choice when visiting Prague.

Great decor and very nice staff. Spring rolls came out a bit cold . Sides of sautéed vegetables were subpar and fried rice had a nice kick . For the price I will stick to NYC for the quality /price .
