Buddha-Bar Hotel Prague

What can I say other than this was absolutely stunning! The hotel is more than 20 years old an looks like it was built yesterday inside and out. The service was outstanding living up to the true Budda Bar theme. The staff are exceptionally friendly and make you feel like nothing is too much. In terms of prices I was worried seeing the comments below...this is all un true! The prices are relative to any hotel offering such high level of facilities and rooms. The breakfast was sensational, topped with fantastic staff who offer all kinds of guidance and wisdom on where to go/see during your stay! Ill definitely be back with my family in 2026! Well done Budda Bar Prague!! You blew my mind and I'm extremely grateful. See you again soon.

🌟 My Review of Buddha-Bar Hotel Prague I recently stayed at the Buddha-Bar Hotel in Prague to celebrate my wife’s birthday. Overall, the experience was good, as most of the staff were friendly and welcoming, and the hotel itself has a cozy and unique atmosphere (though it does feel a bit too dark at times). The location is fantastic, just a 5-minute walk from the main attractions, though unfortunately there was some construction around the hotel that took away from the ambiance. That said, there were several aspects that left me disappointed, especially considering the premium price paid: 1. Spa Experience • I booked the “Romantic Getaway” spa suite for 3 hours, expecting a couple’s experience. To my surprise, there was only one massage bed, meaning my wife and I had to take turns. This completely defeated the purpose, and I ended up cancelling. • I was also disappointed to find out that the masseuse came from a nearby massage shop which charges much less — not what I would expect for a luxury hotel spa experience. 2. Birthday Arrangements • I requested flowers and balloons for the celebration and was charged €100. Unfortunately, the flowers had wilted by the next day, which felt unacceptable given the cost. 3. Billing Issue at Check-in • At check-in, I confirmed that the full amount for my stay had been charged, but later another amount was deducted from my account. The hotel justified this as a “separate booking” SOP, but since I had requested an extension before arrival, this should have been handled as one booking, not charged twice without notice. 4. Room Quality • For the premium paid, I expected a more modern and fresh room. Instead, the room felt somewhat used and old, not matching the “luxury boutique” standard advertised. ⸻ ✅ Final Thoughts While the hotel has great staff, cozy charm, and an unbeatable location, the issues with the spa, birthday arrangements, billing, and room condition left me questioning the value. For the premium price, I expected a smoother, more thoughtful, and higher-quality experience. 👉 At this stage, I’m not sure I would choose to stay here again.

The atmosphere was absolutely wonderful, enhanced by lovely music and a true sense of comfort throughout my stay. The staff were consistently attentive and welcoming — whether at the reception or in the breakfast area — ensuring that every detail was thoughtfully taken care of. The hotel’s excellent location added even greater value to the experience.||A heartfelt thanks to Robair for the outstanding service and warm hospitality. |It was truly a memorable stay

I’ve traveled a lot of places, and for whatever reason I’ve always loved this hotel. The rooms are spacious, the staff are friendly and the rooms are beautifully decorated. I’m coming back 8 years later and I feel the rooms haven’t aged one bit and it’s everything I remember it being and then some. Well done staff for maintaining such a beautiful and unique hotel! I’ll be back again soon!

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.

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.

We stayed at Buddha-Bar Hotel Prague to celebrate my birthday and chose their Romantic Getaway package, which promised a private couple’s massage in a room with a Jacuzzi. Unfortunately, the experience was far from what we expected. The package clearly stated a private room massage with a Jacuzzi, but in reality, it was not a couple’s massage at all. Each of us was scheduled separately, one after the other, in the spa suite. For a romantic package, being split up completely defeated the purpose. Considering the cost was nearly €500, we felt misled and decided not to go ahead with the treatment. The flower arrangement and balloons prepared for the birthday also did not last more than a day, which added to the disappointment. The most stressful part, however, was the hotel’s handling of payments. Before arriving, my husband extended our stay by two nights, and when we checked in, we specifically asked the reception to withdraw the full stay amount upfront along with the safety deposit — so that everything was settled clearly. Despite this, the hotel ended up deducting large amounts from our card multiple times during the stay without informing us. Each time, the explanation given was simply “hotel policy.” This lack of transparency is unacceptable, especially for a five-star hotel. Out of respect and professionalism, guests should be told in advance how and when charges will be processed. It is unsettling and can cause unnecessary financial stress, particularly during what is supposed to be a celebratory occasion. On a positive note, the service team on the ground was exceptional. The bell staff, the gentleman who served us breakfast every morning, and the room cleaners were all extremely kind, professional, and attentive. They genuinely tried to make our stay pleasant, and we deeply appreciate their efforts. Unfortunately, despite the kindness of the staff, the misleading spa experience and repeated unannounced deductions from our credit card left us feeling disappointed and losing trust in the hotel. For the price, reputation, and promises of a “romantic getaway,” the reality fell far short of expectations.

Most memorable stay in Prague. Perfect location. Walking distance to all the best attractions. Yet quiet street. Surrounded also by the finest dining. |Rooms are extraordinarily spacious with top amenities. Breakfast is delightfully opened till 1 pm. Ala carte menu included to a buffet spread. |Delicious and spoilt for choice. Shout out to the breakfast crew. Efficient, attentive and friendly.

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 .
