House at the Big Boot

We had a fantastic experience here. We were greeted on arrival by the receptionist who was friendly and very helpful, they took some time to show us to the room and also help get our orientation on the map and offer some recommendations. We stayed on the room on the top floor and it was great. It was comfortable, stylish and everything worked nicely. The location is great, it's just far enough away from the touristy areas but you can also easily walk to those areas or take public transport a short way. The area was quiet at night. Breakfast was nice and they even made scrambled eggs to order. They take cash payment only, at the end of your stay, so I recommend getting the proper amount of cash sorted the day before you check out to save yourself some stress. We loved it here and would absolutely stay here again.

My stay at Hotel U Velké boty was truly an exceptional experience. The accommodation is beautiful – tastefully furnished, perfectly clean, and filled with a sense of peace and harmony. The interior brought me back to my childhood, to the times I spent at my grandmother’s house during summer holidays – it has that same warmth, charm, and soul. It’s not a modern hotel, but that’s exactly what makes it so special. Every detail feels thoughtful and made with love, from the cozy rooms to the welcoming common areas where you instantly feel at home. The staff were absolutely wonderful – kind, helpful, and genuinely caring. I felt warmly welcomed from the very first moment. Nothing was ever a problem, and every request was met with a smile and a rare kind of humanity that you don’t often encounter these days.|The location is another big advantage – a peaceful and charming spot right beneath Prague Castle, where calm, history, and beauty come together. It’s the perfect place for anyone who wants to relax, recharge, and still be in the very heart of the city. The whole stay was simply perfect – relaxing, comfortable, and full of warmth. I left with a feeling of gratitude and a certainty that I will happily return. Thank you for the wonderful stay, your kindness, and your care. I wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone looking for history, atmosphere, and genuine human warmth. ❤️

We stayed two nights this December and everything was perfect. The staf kindness, the homemade breakfast and the atmosphere. We arrived late in the night and we got a detailed description by the hotel staff by email how to reach the hotel from the airport and everything went good. The hotel is located in front of the German embassy and on the side of the Italian one in a very quite and safe area.

We stayed in December 2025. Everyone who worked there were exceptionally friendly and helpful. The room was clean, comfortable and unique. The location is very walkable. The included full breakfast was delicious. We plan to stay there again in the Spring.

Having stayed in many hotels in Prague, I wish I had discovered Dům u velké boty sooner. It is a HIDDEN GEM! It has beautiful interior, spotless rooms, and gorgeous views of Prague's Castle District. And being a very slight sleeper, I can safely say there is no quieter hotel in all of Prague than this one. Perhaps more impressive than the hotel itself was Daniel, the gentleman who checked me in and provided a tour of the place. He was very professional, knowledgeable, and kind. And he's a great conversationalist. I look forward to many future stays at Dům u velké boty!

This is a family-run hotel, which immediately singles it out from the rest. There is something about a family working together - a particular rhythm in how they do things, a commitment to quality and service. This is their livelihood and their investment. That is so true at House at the Big Boot. The delicious breakfast served with care and warm conversation, the location close to town but away from the throngs of people on the other side of the bridge, the lovely old home thoughtfully renovated. It’s like a fairytale to mirror the fairytale that is Prague. I highly recommend both. And if you are planning a trip to Prague, definitely stay here. You won’t regret it. I am writing this from my terrace at the hotel - see photo for the amazing view.

Amazing staff. They were super helpful and a wealth of information. They recommended places to see and eat as well as the best ways to navigate to those areas. |Incredibly clean rooms and a very nice breakfast each morning. |The quiet neighborhood is a short walk to the tourist area of Prague and is a great place to make your home base. |They will also clean your laundry for a minimal price. |I will recommend this place to anyone traveling to Prague.

So pleased we booked this lovely, family run hotel. A great escape from the crowds and right near the castle which allowed us to visit when cooler and less busy. The owners were friendly and gave us some great local tips which really helped us enjoy our time in Prague and allowed us to see some areas away from the tourist traps. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay again. Easily reached by tram from the main station.

We chose to book at Hotel at the Big Boot for many reasons, not just the interesting name alone. The hotel is located in the Mala Strana district of Prague, just across the street from the German Embassy. It's housed in a 17th century home that spans several floors of rooms, offering all the old world charm you'd expect with lots of modern conveniences tossed in. The owner/operators and their staff are extremely friendly and exceedingly helpful. They arranged for a car to pick us up at the airport to relieve the pressure of navigating cabs in a foreign language within minutes of arrival. Upon arrival, we were welcomed, checked in and escorted to our amazing room within minutes. The room featured two windows surrounded by vines and flowers that opened to overlook the square below and the German Embassy. The furniture was older, but extremely comfortable. The bathroom was refurbished with modern fixtures, including a nice glass shower and rain shower head. Breakfast each morning was an informal affair with the staff spending time with each guest. The offerings included cereals, pastries and other items on the table, as well as cooked-to-order eggs and breakfast meats. There was lots of coffee and juice as well. Overall, a wonderful breakfast option until we learned our way around. The staff helped with tour bookings, cabs, restaurant recommendations and reservations and even some cultural conversation over a glass of wine on a cold, rainy night. When we were ready to depart, they arranged for a car to take us to the train station and offered water and fruit for the trip. We can only categorize our stay at House at the Big Boot as wonderful and would recommend this hotel to anyone without reservations.
