Hotel International Prague

One of the best hotels I have stayed in for a very long time. The room was huge, spotlessly clean with a very comfy bed and a choice of pillows which was refreshing. The service from all the staff we encountered was impeccable and they genuinely seemed to care about our stay. The breakfast spread was huge so would definitely recommend paying the extra for it. It had everything from hot food for a full English, salad cheese and cold slices of meat, croissants with jams and various types of cake, cereals and fruit. Also the restaurant for evening meals was practically Michelin star the food was so good but very reasonable for the quality. There is a huge supermarket practically next door which was extremely handy and the alcohol is ridiculously cheap. Lastly I do feel slightly bad giving the location as a 3 but it is off the beaten track. The centre is quite a walk away however the number 18 tram, which stops pretty much outside the hotel, runs into the centre, doesn't take very long and runs every 10 minutes give or take. If I was to ever come back to Prague I wouldn't even bother looking at another hotel.

I had an excellent stay at this hotel. The room was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. The staff were incredibly polite and helpful, always ready to assist with anything I needed. The overall atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the housekeeping team did a fantastic job - my room was always spotless. The breakfast was delicious and offered a nice variety of fresh options each morning. The hotel’s location is also very convenient, with everything you need nearby and easy access to the main attractions. Overall, I had a very positive experience. If you’re looking for a place with great service and real comfort, I highly recommend this hotel.

I recently stayed at this large, upscale hotel, and the experience was impressive from start to finish. The moment I walked into the expansive lobby, I was greeted by a warm atmosphere, modern décor, and friendly staff who made check-in quick and pleasant. The hotel is clearly designed to handle a high volume of guests without ever feeling crowded, thanks to its spacious layout and well-organized facilities.||My room was clean, bright, and generously sized, with a comfortable bed and large windows. The bathroom was equally spacious, featuring premium toiletries, excellent water pressure, and meticulous housekeeping throughout my stay. ||The hotel is a little far out from the Christmas markets but super easy to get to on the tram, the reception staff explained the tram location and what stops we needed to get off at and they have printed maps for you to take. ||The hotel is clean and well presented with a lovely Christmas smell as you walk into the lobby. We slept very well there is a little noise from the road but this did not bother us at all. Excellent value for money. We would definitely stay here again. There is also a lovely stocked mini bar this does cost extra but not overly priced and quite handy. Breakfast is well presented and plenty of choice the staff work really hard to keep breakfast stocked up with more than enough to go around. Lots of freshly prepared fruit, croissants, cakes etc. The home made granola is so nice, lots of yogurts, honey, pancakes cooked items, meats and cheeses you will not go hungry. ||Very happy with our 3 night stay at this hotel. Our flight was not until the evening we asked about a late check out which the hotel was able to give us without a charge, very impressed with the service. Thank you

The overall service was very attentive, and the hotel environment was very pleasant. The room was also very clean and well maintained, which made the stay comfortable. The location is slightly less convenient. It is quite close to Prague Castle, but a bit far from most other major attractions, so you usually need to take a tram or a taxi to get around. Breakfast was not extremely extensive in terms of variety, but the food was tasty and of good quality. Overall, it was a nice stay and a comfortable hotel.

Having visited Prague multiple times, I never knew this stunning example of Stalinist architecture could be a hotel. As an architecture enthusiast, staying in this building was a pleasure in itself—the photos simply don’t do it justice. The atmosphere evokes a nostalgic charm from a bygone era. Upon arrival, I was greeted with a welcome letter, a Prague postcard, and a quality bottle of water. Though simple, these thoughtful touches left a positive first impression and provided a much-needed energy boost after a long day of travel. The room’s interior reflects its historical character while maintaining reasonable design and functionality. The bathroom features strong water pressure for showers, though the drain plug was slightly tricky to use. The bed, sheets, and pillows were perfect for relaxation and sleep—I genuinely felt at home. The spacious desk provided ample workspace, and the room’s lighting created a comfortable ambiance. The one drawback was the noise insulation, which fell somewhat short of expectations. The highlight of my stay, however, was the breakfast—absolutely gorgeous! Taxi ride: to airport it is only 20min. About 15Eur of a ride.

This hotel is excellent. The stuff is very polite especially receptionist Lev who was very kind and cheerful and even addressed us in our own language. He made us feel very welcome. The hotel building dates from 1950 and has a beautiful architecture and it is very spacious. With marble floors and big chandeliers.The Christmas decorations were really making it look very glamorous. Room was clean and had everything that we needed. We have even got sweet Christmas bread as a welcome present as well as a welcome drinks at their sky bar. The breakfast was the best ever. They had unbelievably good food and a lot of choices. The location is very good as the public transportation is near by. We will come back for sure!

Good hotel, on a well communicated place. Nicely preserved original atmosphere and architecture. Family room was very spacious, clean, with two toilets. Breakfast buffet had great variety of local and global products. Nice staff members always trying to help to resolve any request or issue. Thank you.

In my opinion, the staff and the customer service were the best part of our stay. The front desk staff and room service people were so nice and helpful. The room was clean, but noisy and cold. We could not get warm. We were only there for 2 nights, and did not spend much time in the room. We were in room 37. Perhaps a room higher up would have had less noise. The hotel is not near the tourist stuff, but the Metro can get you there, or the trams I would not be excited to go back. We used hotels.com to find and book the room

Pros: Away from the city center Wonderful breakfast buffet, but make sure to select the included option whilst checking in. Rooms were spacious enough for a family of four Affordable mini-bar options Cons: very limited parking Restaurant closed prior to published time

I'm all for historic buildings .. but if I had known in advance this was a Stalinist-era building with the same amenities as an old Poliburo office ... I would have probably steered clear of this place. Where to begin? This place is now known as the Hotel International now that new management has taken over the premises. This building dates back to the mid-20th century and was a gift from Stalin to the people of Czechoslovakia during the cold war era. In many ways this place has literally not changed since those days. Yes the rooms had been modestly refurbished, but generally it has retained the old, dreary feel of a cold war/communist era building. When you're walking through the hallways it wouldn't be surprising to see some KGB agent or Soviet general walk out of one of these rooms. The doors remind me of an old office building. The rooms themselves are spacious but poorly laid out. The beds here seriously suck. Our room also had an extra third bed for no real apparent reason and they would not move it (even though it ate up a ton of space in our room) because "it's a triple room" (WTF). Anyway, back to the room itself. I mentioned the beds are shit. They are because the sheets felt gross, the comforters were thin and the bed felt like one of those crappy spring beds you find in a cheap motel in the US. Unless you're dead tired from a day of touring around Prague, don't expect to sleep well here. The showers and everything else were not particularly memorable and the room felt dirty overall. The carpets were old and gross. The climate control was also non existent. The room felt stuffy and hot and I had to open the windows full blast (even though it was like 40-50F outside) just to get some air circulating inside. The restaurant here also sucked ass. The quality of the breakfast was pretty shitty though at least the coffee machine was decent. Also the lobby was pretty nice and had a somewhat grand (if not old/Soviet) feel to it. Long story short, unless you want to relive history or have a keen interest in staying in an old cold war hotel, you're way better off staying somewhere else.

Shhhhhh, they might hear us! Do you have the plans? Okay, we will meet at the cafe at the Charles Bridge to make the exchange. This is what I envisioned in my mind when our tour guide gave us the history of this hotel. Apparently, this building housed the USSR's infamous KGB! We had a retired police officer in our tour group, so he did some snooping around in his room and found wires hidden in a hole in his closet! Wow, that's crazy! This hotel is old, it even smells old! Yes, It's described as "art deco" on Crowne's website, mmmm... still old and musty! I mean it's not that bad, it is a decent hotel to stay in for a few nights. Rooms are typical European size, but it is a ways from the city center.

Stay away!! Zero stars. Dated old hotel. Front desk didn't speak English. Room shower didn't work. Ac unit stopped working in the middle of the night. Very dirty rug in room. Bedding stained. Musty smell. Disgusting. Asked to switch rooms but were told no rooms available.

Hotel looks beautiful from the outside and inside is similar to a Hampton Inn or Hilton hotel chains. Many of the workers speak 4 to 6 languages. They have an atm in the lobby and can also exchange US dollars to Czech krowns. The gift shop has stamps and they send out mail of your mail is stamped. The restrooms are clean. The bathtub acts as a dual shower except it only has one door. My double double has a TV and refrigerator. This place is far from downtown, new town, and old town. Use their public transportation of cab.

An update after our stay here. Don't use their hotel cab, it charged us more than double the price than usually.

The Crowne Plaza Prague is a large hotel 4 Star hotel which is fairly well located to the city centre. It is a very interesting building which dates back to communist days. The staff were friendly and we received a warm welcome at check in. We had booked a Club Room and as Platinum IHG Rewards Club member we were upgraded to a 10th Floor Tower Suite room with access to the Club Lounge-the Sky Lounge on the 14th Floor, The Club Lounge offered a reasonable continental breakfast with some hot food items and a range alcoholic drinks were available during the evening however the food selection was very limited. There is a 1980's feel to the hotel with the communal areas really needing an upgrade. There is no pool and the restaurants were expensive. The suite had everything you would expect from a 4 star hotel including 2 x TV's, Mini Bar, Air Conditioning and internet but the CRT TV's could do with replacing with flat screens. Overall the Crowne Plaza Prague provides a good option for business and leisure travellers alike, particularly if you are looking for an IHG property with good Elite customer recognition. We enjoyed the stay and would stay here on next visit to Prague depending on other options available.

I know that theft is an issue in Prague but didn't expect potential problems at The Intercontinental. Had the cleaning staff walk in my room while I was asleep when the do not disturb was hung on the door. Heard her rummaging around in my bathroom. I called out and she came out with an armload of towels. However I had already taken my dirty towels to the bin earlier that day. Additionally the desk staff was pretty rude and tried to charge me for the lounge despite my status with the hotel. No offer for an upgrade despite the fact that the hotel was not booked at all. Sorry but there are nicer hotels to consider for the price.

This hotel is OK but definitely not what I am use to from other Crown Plaza's. The executive rooms themselves are very nice but the executive lounge is very disappointing. Very limited snacks, only wine and beer is served and the beer has been warm for the last two nights. A way from downtown but that also means it is quiet and the local restaurants are very reasonable.

Staff and meeting space is great. The hotel rooms are Awful. Very old, outdated and musty. I had to switch rooms. There were little dead bugs near the windows. They quickly moved me to a room over the aerobics studio. A little loud but no bugs. It's a 15 min cab ride to the center of town. Make sure to take AAA taxi. Otherwise, your taxi will be double the cost.

Remember that line from the Amy Winehouse "Rehab:" song: No, no, no!!. That is what is going through my head as I write this review. Stay elsewhere. Lots of reasonable hotels in Prague. Room was very run down. Phone did not work and we told them about this every day for 5 days. Felt very unsafe not having that in an emergency. We got there on Sunday and it was fixed on Thursday after we went to desk daily. So anytime we had a question about hotel or booking something thru hotel, we had to go down 3 floors to desk on other side of hotel. Found a bug in it on two of the 7 days that we were there. we were with a prepaid group so we couldn't leave. Bathrooms not cleaned on two dates, including one day when housekeeping came into our room to fold comforters on beds. (No sheets on beds, just comforter that they fold. Voila! Bed made, which is great news for employment rates in Czech but bad news for international travelers. Our room for our family of three consisted of 3 single beds which was weird but they were comfortable. Our a/c worked but many in our group said their a/c didn't work. There are newer rooms in the hotel so make sure you ask for one of those. Windows open in hotel which helps to get musty smell out. Maybe that's not a good thing if you are there long term. Housekeeper very unfriendly and when we went to hunt towels down on the days when we had no clean towels put in room, she looked at us like I was asking for an organ donation. She didn't speak any English so "international" aspect of hotel ends at front desk. Front desk, bartender and waitress (short blonde, I think her name was Vika?) in restaurant were super nice. Waitress was very fast, friendly, and helpful. Desk staff was super nice too and very patient. They all spoke English. Someone found my son's phone in restaurant and bartender kept it safe for a day until we started inquiring about it. Very honest. Location of hotel isn't great. it is a block from tram but much easier to just stay walking distance to Old Town. Hilton and Marriott looked nice when we walked by it. This is ok for one night but we were there a week and it felt like a penance.
