Romantický Hotel U Raka

We stayed for a long weekend, it was perfect for exploring the city - beautiful scenic walk into the centre of town but so peaceful and away from the chaos of the busier areas. Delicious breakfast, catered so well to dietary requirements! (Made a special vegan, allergy-friendly breakfast for me and provided almond milk for coffee) Friendly and personal service in a truly beautiful, quirky location!

I haven't stayed at this property, but I discovered their cafe while I was randomly walking in this area of Prague. In my opinion, this is the most beautiful cafe in the world, and that is saying something. It definitely looks like a place plucked from middle earth of Lord of the Rings :). What a place. Don't miss their cakes when you are there. They are yummm :)

Very special and quiet place that gives a great first impression of Prague. Off the beaten path, lovely garden spaces. Excellent breakfast. Kind staff, who helped us with our bikes and luggage. Thank you!!!

Quiet, clean retreat hidden behind Prague Castle. Outstanding, fresh, varied breakfasts. Wonderful owners. Always a special time when we've come.

To list all the topics we liked about U Raka, the space here is not enough. From the reception, to the care during the stay, to the warm farewell. The ambience as well as the interior of the house - extraordinary, inspiring... and no TV (super!). We have rarely experienced such a warm, loving and helpful host on all our trips. The team from U Raka, with Kate and Magda and everyone else here not named, who made sure that the guest had no shortage of anything every day. A heartfelt "Dkuji"!

Amazing one of a kind experience! This place is for those who like small, local boutique hotels. The hotel has only six rooms in a renovated historic building, they include a lovely breakfast with homemade yogurts, eggs to order, meats, cheeses, breads, pastries and more. It is super clean and decorated with local country antiques by someone with a great eye-- each room is totally unique. It is in the castle district in a quiet corner of Prague 1, and staying here totally made the trip for us. Old town is insanely busy even early in the season, so much so that I just wanted to get out of there. The castle district is a bit hilly, but from the hotel you can easily walk to many of the most important sites: lesser town, the castle, Petrin hill, Strahov library, St. Nicholas Church. With three days, we spend only one in old town, and two in lesser town/the castle district so this location made sense for us. The tram stop is five minutes uphill but for a short trip ubers made much more sense to us-- we mostly walked and the couple of times we were going a distance we took very inexpensive ubers (come in 2 minutes, $6-7 gets you anywhere in Prague 1). The area isn't great for anyone with mobility issues, though as long as you can walk a bit it's fine. We basically walked all day, then went back to the hotel for a late lunch and got smoothies and a delicious meat and cheese platter or ham and cheese pie and sat on their lovely sunken terrace. Walking to dinner from there was a highlight of the trip, quiet historic streets you practically have to yourself with one stunning building after another-- plenty of restaurants within a 1-15 minute walk. Book directly on their website and check out their packages. We got the anniversary package that you needed to pay in cash with euros while you were there but you got$50 off a night, flowers, a big bowl of fruit, a large meat and cheese platter, a split of sparkling wine, a bottle of local wine, and a free ride to or from the airport. Magda who works there is the best! She would often make us something special for breakfast and lunch-- basically take any of her recommendations! Get room 6 if you can with a living room, fireplace, indoor terrace, private table on the outdoor terrace.

Cutest little café to visit in the area. We enjoyed the almond latte and plum pie which was tart and not too sweet! Washroom was available for customers and we loved the cute interior of hotel inside.

Charming combination of restaurant, hotel, and cafe in Novy Svet near the walls of Prague. 8 minute walk from Loreto. Bot.many tourists come around this vicinity so it is pleasant to walk around this charming neighborhood abd come across this place. Have a sip of coffee and relax, eat some traditional Czech meal or even stay a night or two. Highly recommended 😎 👍

We recently stayed for the second time, after a 20+ year absence. Place was as good, actually better, than before. Rooms are great, cozy, attractive, comfortable. Staff is attentive, pleasant and helpful. Breakfasts are wonderful. Unfortunately it was still too cold to enjoy relaxing in the courtyard. In short, a relaxing hunting lodge in the middle of Prague. Other notes - the attached restaurant/small cafe is a charming and cozy place to grab a bite in the afternoon or early evening. To avoid having to go uphill to get here take the #22 tram to the Brusnice stop, go down the stairs across the street and it will be at the bottom

Don't confuse this tiny hotel/café with the Old Town restaurant by the same name - they are two entirely different places. This one is at the end of the ancient winding Novy Svet lane near the Prague castle, and is enchanting. (Be warned, though - the only way out is UP!) You ring a bell to enter - this is to discourage the looky-loos who just want to explore, ask questions and use the toilets. The one- or two-person staff just doesn't have time. The café is delightful - delicious food cooked by the manager/chef, lovely ambience, including a fire in cold weather, and an outdoor area in the summer. Recently restored, the place is full of old bric a brac, including a stone plaque of a lobster, which makes sense when you know the name means "At the Crayfish." I had a delicious quiche and apple studel - yum! We only visited the café, and peeked at a room, which was lovely. Definitely romantic!
