Real Guest Experiences & Ratings

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests consistently praise The King Charles' beautiful building, often describing its medieval vibe and unique decor with ceiling paintings. The location is also a major plus, with Prague Castle practically next door and Charles Bridge within a comfortable walking distance; though some find the walk back from the bridge a little steep. Rooms are generally spacious and comfortable, and breakfast includes a good selection of cheeses and breads. For some, however, the hot food selection at breakfast could be improved.

I stayed in a beautiful double or twin room. the room decor included framed art and antique-style furniture. It was quite nice. breakfast offered a wide selection of cheeses and breads, though the hot food was not great.

The sheets were not changed daily, only every other day. This bothered me slightly.
