Hotel Maximilian

This is a lovely hotel tucked away in a quiet corner of the Old Town, just a short walk from Prague’s historic centre and Old Town Square. The building itself has pedigree, originally designed in the 1920s by Czech architectural historian and critic Karel Teige, and after a full renovation in 2019, it now combines history with sleek modern comfort.||We stayed in Room 206, which came with a small balcony overlooking the street and opposite a church. At night the church was beautifully lit, making the view from our balcony quite special. The room itself was well thought out and very comfortable—perfect for frequent travellers. Details like a sofa to hold a second suitcase, plenty of bathroom shelving, and that little balcony made all the difference. The king-size bed was wonderfully comfortable, and the small fridge, stocked daily with complimentary non-alcoholic drinks, was a nice touch. Tea and coffee making facilities were also available. (Although coffee sachets etc were not provided.)||Breakfast, included in our stay, wasn’t lavishly extensive but the quality was excellent. Best of all, freshly cooked dishes like omelettes, eggs Benedict, and eggs Florentine could be ordered to your table—paired with attentive service that really stood out.||From check-in onwards, the staff were consistently warm and accommodating. Even when a billing error appeared at checkout, it was quickly and graciously resolved. ||The surrounding area also offered plenty of choices for restaurants, cafés, and mini-marts, all within easy reach.||All in all, this hotel is beautifully designed, comfortable, and perfectly located for exploring Prague. We would happily stay here again and definitely recommend it.

Excellent location. Close access to transport options and walking distance to many of the city's main attractions. The hotel was clean, classy and modern. My room was well designed, quite big and very comfortable with chairs, a desk and a couch. Plenty of restaurants and food stores/supermarkets close by. The front desk staff were very friendly and gave some excellent recommendations for places to eat/drink and things to see/do. I would 100% stay here again if I came back to Prague!

What a stay! A long weekend of comfort and treats built on a great staff experience. From check-in to the a la carte breakfast, everyone at the hotel could not have been more welcoming and friendly. Smiles at midnight or first thing in the morning, with nothing too much trouble. ||A super location for Prague central station and you are into the city scene a few minutes from the door (without being bothered by the sometimes raucous bachelor nights). ||The interiors are restrained elegance with a sophisticated deco feel that fits right in with the city's melange of architectural epochs. There is the comfort of space well planned and materials well used thru out the property. A consistency of patterning, the soft curves & furniture plus wall lamps & suspended ceiling art work together create a good atmosphere. Materials and surfaces are as good as new. ||Breakfast is definitely a high light with a great choice of quality products on both the buffet and a la carte menu (scrambled eggs with truffles - you don't get that every Saturday morning!). In spite of a busy weekend audience, everything was quickly replenished and coffee orders well executed.

Thoroughly enjoyed our 6 nights here. Located in the old town. Easy access to food, bars, shopping, tours, main square. Quiet in the evenings, no trams, buses or vehicle traffic. We walked everywhere because it was so close to everything. Our room, 506, was well equipped and serviced daily. Hotel staff were always helpful. Highly recommend a stay here.

This is a lovely hotel situated in a quiet area of the Old Town about 10 minutes walk from Old Town Square. It is totally modernised and our room was very comfortable. It had a kettle although for some reason the housekeeping regularly failed to replenish the English Breakfast tea bags. The bathroom was large and had loads of space for 2 people to store their toiletries. The breakfast buffet was plentiful and there was a menu from which you could individually order various egg dishes. The restaurant staff were incredibly smiley and helpful. On our first night we ate in their ground floor restaurant area and whilst the food was tasty it was quite expensive for what it was. We had a very comfortable stay.

Thank you for a wonderful stay we had in June. You wear all so friendly and helpful. Such fabulous service you have. And the breakfast was absolutely delicious! And such a variety. Your rooms were very clean. Thanks again.

Best location in Prague. The hotel was meticulously conceived in architectural and decoration details. The owner is probably a borderline psychopath in perfectionism. Staff is well trained. Very comfortable and bathroom amenities are great. The Café is amazing with very warming service. Overall cleaning was great, except for the bedroom and bathroom floors that could be better. Also, unfortunately we had an issue with one of the bath robes that not only were not washed, but it had a used tissue paper in its pockets.

Nice and very welcoming staff. Rooms are great, had two different rooms, the one overseeing the church was much better (maybe recently refurbished?) than the one facing the courtyard. All in all a very good experience

Not only were the amenities, rooms, and ambience amazing, but the staff was beyond impressive! Upon arrival, they informed us that there had been a situation that required their attention; so they moved us to their sister hotel. And when I say moved, they LITERALLY moved our luggage to The Josef and set us up with an equally incredible staff! Also, they comped our breakfast for the duration of our stay to make up for any convenience we may have experienced. Wow! Their attention to detail, friendliness, and wholehearted hospitality made our stay in Prague most wonderful! We felt like we were home- I highly recommend this establishment.

This is without a doubt one of the best boutique hotels I've ever stayed at. Cute well done and comfy rooms, a beautiful restaurant with nice ambiance and KILLER food. And the best thing of all..... The Service!!! The entire staff in this hotel goes above and beyond. Staying here over three weeks as well. We'll be back!!!!

Simply superb. Let's start with the way we were treated by every single hotel staff member - they went out of their way to be friendly, warm, welcoming, and helpful. Each encounter was a pleasant experience. The room itself was so elegantly designed. We had a small balcony room, and the balcony was superb. I can't think of a time I've had a more relaxing and all around enjoyable stay. We only ate at the hotel's restaurant for breakfast, but that was also exceptional. Try the French toast. Not too sweet, and with a good mix of fruit, it was divine. I can not recommend this hotel enough. Simply exceptional.

I loved this hotel. The staff was as friendly and helpful as any hotel staff I've ever encountered. The bed was wonderful and the room was spacious for a European hotel. The breakfast was better than most hotel breakfasts. The hotel was located on a quiet street that isn't swarmed with noisy tourists. Also, the hotel was within two blocks of at least three excellent restaurants, and a short walk to the historic city center. It's also about a 15-minute walk from the train station. I'm told that air-conditioning is an issue with some Prague hotels -- I was there during cooler weather, so I can't comment on that. If I return to Prague, I will hope to stay again at Hotel Maximilian.

This boutique hotel is located in the Old Town (Stare Mesto) and is a short walk down an amazing cobblestone street to the Old Town Square. The street it is on is quiet and the hotel faces an old church. It's within walking distance to all of the major sights in Prague. Great location! The rooms were clean, spacious, and comfortable. This includes the bathroom, which normally are small based on my past experiences in Europe. The hotel staff was friendly and extremely helpful. Restaurant suggestions were spot on and excellent. The breakfast buffet was excellent in quality and variety. Overall a perfect place to stay while exploring Prague.

I'm regularly staying at Hotel Maximilian for half a year and I do like it a lot. Located near the centre of Prague it has a modern appearance in an "old house". The rooms are large enough and everything is clean and well set. The view out of the window is only good in the rooms that directly have windows to "Hastalka" (the street), so ask for them. All other rooms have a view to a backyard (but it is no problem for me....). I do like very much the staff and the way the staff do treat the guests. They are very friendly and try to help you with almost everything. Furthermore for business travel I use the laundry service a lot and they are really fast (within 1 day turnaround). There is internet access for free but it could be faster. I recommend this Hotel for stays in Prague because it is a good combination of old/new/feeling home and fair price.

Just finished a quick one night stay here. What a great stay!! The hotel was a 100 steps or so from the old town, maybe 0.25 mi from the Charles bridge. So it was very close to the heart of the old town but without a lot of the noise as it was located on a quiet street, next to a church. The room was spacious and stylish. Lots of closet space. You could even get a goldfish for your room. I would have gotten it if I was staying longer. The breakfast was awesome with a great selection as well as the ability to order items like eggs and waffles. The yogurt was super tasty. And all of this for $120!!! The hotel looks like a place that should charge 3x that. What a great deal. I would definitely come back here for another stay.

I would stay at this hotel again in a second. I wrote to them asking questions and they were very prompt with replies. They have an amazing location near the main square in town. The Charles bridge is about a 15 minute walk. The area was quiet but close enough to walk almost anywhere. They had a fish delivered to our room in case we missed our pets (AWESOME)! I recommend this hotel highly. Love it all, even the breakfast was yummy and lots of choices.

Lovely small hotel near Stare Mesto, small and cozy. I got there very easy by public transportation, from the airport. Room has fair size, this is Europe after all. Really glad that I had an armchair, I hate to stay on the bed, even during evening, when I am there. Really enjoyed the breakfast, which is diverse - you can order hot food as well, like scrambled eggs. Internet WiFi is fair as speed, I was expecting higher speed. Overall, nice hotel.

If you are going to Prague, please do yourself a favor and stay at this hotel. We came here on our honeymoon and had the most amazing experience with this hotel. It offers free wifi and free breakfast. The rooms are large (in Europe standards!) and have great bathrooms as well. The customer service here was absolutely amazing. We walked in, were greeted and helped with everything we could possibly imagine. They got us dinner reservations, a car service to the airport and helped book tours.

Our stay at Hotel Maximillian was one amazing surprise after another. For our anniversary, we were presented a complimentary bottle of sparkling wine and strawberries and were given a room with a great view of the church! The breakfast is absolutely delightful with a ton of choices and very attentive and efficient service. Between 430 and 530 in the afternoon there are some free events as well as cake sometimes. The business center has Macs available for anyone to use and their Honesty Bar (honour system) is so cool. The beds and pillows were comfy and the Orla Kiely toiletries were a very nice touch! I don't have a single critique for this place; the value is absolutely amazing and I highly recommend Hotel Maximillian!

I pretty much love this hotel and am currently staying here and check out tomorrow. Seeing how the next day and the check out process goes, my review may change. The check in process was very easy and the man who was working on Sunday night at 10pm was incredibly kind and helpful and very friendly. Probably the best check in process I've ever had a hotel, ever. The rooms are nice and big, with shower and bathtub. The towels are very large, so they wrap around you almost twice. Robes are comfy as are the slippers. For this price, it's a very good bargain. They have an easy to use "honesty bar" were you can get snacks and drinks and write down on the list what you want to buy. Cool. Great location and very close to walk to everything you'd want to see and the area is not too noisy. The breakfast is also very good. The wifi is good depending on time of day. Problems: The AC in the rooms could be much better. It's not strong enough for tourists who are used to good AC. The spa is always too busy it seems. It's hard to get an appointment and last night I had one at 8:15 and planned my whole day around it but then got to the spa and was told the therapist was probably too tired and I would need to come back the next day, but at a discount. OK, cool, but not great. We will see how the massage is later today. They have a lovely gift shop with more "art" and modern gifts and souvenirs, not silly stuff. They have 4 cool wineglasses and I wanted to buy all 4. I asked the guy at the front desk about it and asked him if they had more in storage as I wanted 6. This was today (July 13) around 14:30 in the afternoon. I then asked him if he could contact the artist (the artist's name is on the sign with the glasses) or the source and get more for me. He said no, they are one of kind. I said I understood they were art glasses and not mass produced, but maybe the artist made a few more and could he find out. He kept saying over and over he knew the artist made no more of them. I asked him how he could know that. He got very rude and frustrated and practially slammed his cell phone down when I asked him if he could go online and find out or call someone who would know. He refused. He said there is no other store or place to get them and there are only 4. Only 4. Period. In the whole world. I went down the street to lunch, went online, found the same glasses, by the same artist and a local store and ordered 6. I then came back to the hotel and showed him this. He was no help at all. Yes, I would stay here again, but this hotel could be even better. It's not perfect, but almost.

I just spent a week here with my wife while visiting our daughter who is on a semester in Prague. The hotel suite we had was reasonably priced, clean, and very comfortable. The hotel staff was outstanding! They went out of their way to make sure we had all we needed, and even brought a beautiful fruit basket to our room when I got sick and spent a couple of days in bed. The breakfast was outstanding and included in the price of the room. You could eat from the buffet, or order off the menu. They had a very nice longe area and "honesty bar" where you could make tea, relax, and even fix a drink or get a half bottle of wine. Refreshingly, the hotel prices for the wine or beer were reasonable. A man named Antonio was one of the hotel managers and was incredibly gracious and kind. As for Prague itself, the churches, castle, Jewish Quarter, and Wenceslas Square very interesting. I'm glad I read quite a bit of history before we went. It really helped me appreciate what I was seeing. The churches and architecture were beautiful. I recommend the Museum of Communism for a well-presented political history of the 20th century. The people we met in the local businesses were very nice and helpful. I would recommend a visit to anyone, and the Maximilian Hotel is a fantastic place to stay.

My wife and I recently stayed at this hotel and absolutely loved it. It is a very short walk from the center square and in close proximity to wonderful restaurants (Nostalgia and Food Story). We scheduled appointments in their in house spa and received a much needed massage for the travel stress and it was amazing. One of the more surprising delights was the breakfast which would rival any good breakfast restaurant. Every morning had a wide variety of food and great coffee made to order. I would highly recommend Hotel Maximillian to any of my friends and family.
