Domus Balthasar

Beautiful accommodation (no breakfast) in nicely renovated historic building. Perfect location near the Charles Bridge on the quiet Kampa side. Our apartment on the first floor (no elevator) consisted of a large bedroom with 2 double beds, a sitting room with comfortable furniture, fridge, coffee/tea, wine glasses; and a very spacious bathroom with toilet (not separate) and double walk-in shower. Check-in/check-out across the street, with otherwise great service. Various breakfast options nearby. Ditto nice restaurants / terraces. Recommended!

We really loved this hotel - most importantly for me is the comfort & quality of the bedding and the Domus Balthasar did not disappoint.  The beds were really comfortable and the duvets and pillows were all duck down & feather - heaven! As we were 3 girls, we had booked a junior suite as it offered 2 double beds. The room was large and very stylish and the bathroom was large and beautiful too - all black & white in design and really good quality fixtures and fittings. There was a nice living room area too and plenty of windows which opened for fresh air. The location was also very good - just a minute's walk from the Charles Bridge, on the left bank.  Note the right bank is where the Old Town is, and whilst the area is very beautiful it is the more touristy area and where a lot of the hen and stag parties are based, so yes we were very pleased with our location on the left bank, as it felt more local and neighbourhood.  The hotel itself doesn't actually have a reception desk, so someone from the tourist information desk (literally opposite the hotel) comes and meets you to check you in etc. which seems to work well.

Wow! We absolutely loved this hote! You can tell that it is associated with a design group because it is one of the most beautiful hotels I have ever stayed at in terms of style (we had the blue room on the second floor). Just gorgeous appointments everywhere you turn. Simple, but lovely. The bed was very comfortable, and we appreciated the numerous windows and small touches. The room had a tea kettle and a nice tea selection (in addition to a Nespresso) but needed full-size tea mugs (the cappuccino cups were too small for a proper cup of tea), as well as a cream or milk option (it would be easy to keep this in the small refrigerator). I also could not locate an iron. There is a small grocery store next door, which was helpful for breakfast and sundries. The hotel is right by the Charles Bridge, a popular site, so that meant a good deal of noise late into the night. We slept fine, though, with the windows closed. They are also currently replacing the sidewalk in front, which would have been nice to know, but I think that will probably be complete within a few weeks. Overall, I highly recommend the hotel.
