We had an unforgettable, 3-night stay at The Manes Boutique Hotel in Prague. Arriving a bit before posted check-in time, we were warmly greeted by Tanya. We enjoyed a welcome drink in reception before Tanya informed us housekeeping had just finished preparing our room. A small but efficient lift took up upstairs to our room.
Our standard room was fairly large by European standards. The closet in the entryway had plenty of hanging and storage space and housed a generous number of hangars, bathrobes (2), slippers (2), a safe, and minibar/coffee area. The bathroom offered a large, step-in shower with rainfall and handheld shower heads, toilet with bidet, hair dryer, and high quality toiletries including shampoo/body wash, conditioner, hand soap, and hand/body lotion.
Our sleeping area contained a king bed with nightstands on each side, a work area with desk and chair, as well as a couple of cushioned areas that could be used to lounge or sit suitcases on. There were outlets on each side of the bed for recharging electronics. Our room faced the street overlooking the tram tracks but was very quiet with the exception of an occasional passing tram.
Among the high-tech features in our room were motion-activated, low-level lights under the bed and over the toilet that eliminated the need for leaving a light on or turning on the lights during the night and heated, bathroom floor tiles.
Several evenings, we joined other guests in the reception area for unlimited, complimentary, available 24/7 and include beer, wine, prosecco, juice, coffee, tea, soft drinks, or water. The Manes offers a breakfast buffet for 20€ per person and there are other dining venues and a fitness center available to guests at its nearby sister hotel, Mosaic House Design Hotel.
We cannot say enough about how wonderful the staff is at The Manes. Housekeeping kept our room spotless and Olga, Tanya, and the entire reception staff was eager to make sure everything was perfect from the drinks they served to providing dining recommendations, a spare outlet adapter, or an ice bag for an injury I sustained getting off the train.
The hotel is a short, 10 minute tram ride from the main train station and only a 5 minute walk from two, tram stations, making it ideal for utilizing public transportation. There are also numerous bar and dining options within a short walk.
