Hotel Golden Star

The staff of Golden Star are all friendly and professional. It’s a really nice hotel arranged over four floors. We stayed in room 25 which is enormous and has fabulous views down the hill and over Mala Strana and then in room 12 at short notice when our flight was cancelled. The staff were very kind and helpful when we needed their assistance. The rooms are all well appointed and very comfortable with good amenities. Two sets of windows really helps to dampen any noise from the street but it is quite a quiet part of town in the evening. Breakfast is excellent and varied. If you email them and they have capacity you can upgrade your room and they will also organise little treats. Jana and her colleague on the desk are delightful. Do make sure you eat in the restaurant where you will get the warmest welcome and great food. Top tip - if you don’t fancy the steep walk up the hill after a day of sightseeing, catch the 22 tram up to the castle and take the easy walk through the grounds and down the hill to the hotel.

This place is literally steps from the Castle complex and on the route up to the monastery. Yes it's busy outside with foot traffic during the day but is really quiet at night. The rooms are surprisingly modern for such an old building and the aircon worked great. Nice big walk in shower and underfloor heating in bathroom and reception is manned 24 hours and the staff are super friendly. Drink on arrival and lent a plug adapter as mine didn't work in the spiked Czech sockets. Breakfast was good but sometimes a little cramped at busy times as the space isn't big. The restaurant seems to be under separate management at night but we ate there once and the food, beer and wine were fine. Yes being up by the castle means an uphill walk usually back to the hotel, but here are plenty of drink stops on the way up! There are also trams which stop at the top of the castle, with a downhill walk through the grounds to the hotel. Would we stay here again? - a resounding yes for our next visit to this wonderful city.

This is a really nice place to stay. The staff are excellent and the breakfast is also good.The hill can be a bit daunting for people with mobility issues. The location just below the castle is excellent for easy access.
