hotel Roma Prague

"Just returned from a 3 night break at Hotel Roma (when I say just, i mean we have literally just walked through our front door having travelled from Birmingham airport) Having visited Prague before, I can say that this hotel is very well located for several “tourist” spots. Charles Bridge is on your doorstep with plenty of restaurants and quirky shops and takeaways nearby. Trams run outside the hotel for the more adventurous. We found that most of Pragues “zones” were 25/30 min walk away including the Old Town and Wenceslas Square. Whilst this may feel like a good walk (you will certainly get your steps in!), don’t let it put you off, it feels a lot less as there are so many wonderful sites and buildings to see on your way. I had a few landmarks in mind before our trip but was amazed at the Architecture and culture we discovered by walking to our desired spot. Hotel: Clean and basic but felt very comfortable and relaxing. Staff super friendly. Breakfast was more than we expected as we were led to believe it was continental only. Breads/toast/jams, cakes of various variety’s, fresh fruit, apple/orange juice, coffee/tea, cold meats and cheeses. Over the three mornings we ate, they had scrambled and boiled eggs, mushrooms and frankfurter sausage available. 1st and 3rd day bacon which was very tasty and one day beans as an alternative. The breakfast bar had unusual offerings from what we would consider a breakfast choice such as Mediterranean vegetables, rice, broccoli, soup. The only day I was disappointed was the second day when bacon was nowhere to be seen but had been replaced by what looked like possibly meatloaf? However I enjoyed eggs and beans on toast followed by pate on toast. Bar prices are actually cheap in comparison to bars around the city. Coke/fanta is pricey as it was in most places but the beer came in as cheap if not cheaper than anywhere else that we made a pit stop. My only criticism of the hotel is I feel they could expand on their information leaflet and amend their website. It wasn’t clear what time the bars opening hours were or the facilities available. The website states the gym is accessible 24/7. My son who is a fitness fanatic went to access the gym at 2147hrs one evening to be told it close at 2200hrs and reopens at 0700hrs hence major disappointment as it was part of his plan for that day. All members of staff are wonderful especially the bar staff who can’t do enough for you however I don’t think we saw the same member of staff twice over 4 days. Transport Uber to and from airport for 4 was approx £18 (don’t be misled into thinking you have to book Uber Airport specifically as it was around £10 more!) just book an normally uber and look out for the registration! Evening entertainment We had all intentions of going “out out” with our 18yr old boys. However, due ti the 10 miles a day we walked, and neither son having much interest in alcohol we found the perfect nightlife at Levels. 9 story entertainment centre. 2 floors are wall to wall arcades and games. It is pricey but worth every penny to make an evening for a family outing. We paid 400czk each (£14ish) for the boys for 1 hour to play many games whilst myself and my husband happily sat at the swanky bars. Win win! You can pay for extras such as racing simulators which again are pricey (£17 each for 15 mins) but honestly worth every penny for the older teenagers. No entrance fee so adults can sit and drink whilst the kids go and play. Tip!! Take the elevator to the 8th floor and walk up the stairs to the 9th floor. Roof top views of Prague! Overall a much enjoyed break with the lads who “don’t want to go on holiday with mum” anymore I will be back and the lads can’t wait for next year to visit with friends and maybe experience the nightlife!"

"Rustic hotel near the heart of Prague. The hotel is advertised as 4 star, but just about, and not for a lack of trying. The hotel does try hard and has a lot going for it, but it does have its flaws. Bad points first: - Rooms are rustic. Old furniture, small TVs, older decor and weird positions for isolator switches and sockets within the room. Windows are awkward to open (double casement windows) and definitely wouldn't let young children near them if on a high floor. - Cleaning is done daily and to a good standard, however they did regularly miss under the beds and furniture which had dirt from the previous resident - Beds are unusually firm and hard, which are generally fine but if you have a bad back, expect some issues - Breakfast is pricey and a let down. 15 euro per person, and while they do offer both continental and northern foods, the selection is poor and not refreshed often. Being near the heart of the city, unless it's already included in your stay offer, you'll find cheaper and better options elsewhere - Bar is also pricey. TV is located in the corner and often inactive. Atmosphere is dead - Not a fault of the hotel, but the area is noisy with trams at most hours. There are far more general and less nitpick good points however: - Staff are friendly and helpful. Asked for special request for additional chair which was accommodated. They also left a birthday card and some Ferrero Roche sweets despite not being told explicitly! - The hotel lobby and bar is classy and decorative - Rooms are spacious and the family room comes with separate beds for each of the kids. Lots of room to store luggage and there is an in-room safe - Coffee machine in room restocked regularly. Hair dryer also in bathroom. Stocked with lots of conditioner, shower gels, shampoo. Complimentary slippers. - Location! The major benefit. It is uniquely located within ten minutes walk of most things and it's situated next to major tram lines for attractions like Prague Zoo. Petrin hill is literally in front of the hotel and a gelato to the right of the hotel - Price. It is definitely one of the most reasonably priced hotels in the city. There are many more positives to the hotel than negatives and I would recommend as a great base to explore the city."

"⸻ I am a wheelchair user, and I found the room to be a great size with excellent accessibility features. The bathroom was well adapted, and the doors were wide enough to move around comfortably. The breakfast was simple but nice, with enough options to start the day well. In my opinion, the location is perfect. It is close to public transport, and many places are within walking distance. The value is reasonable for what you get. The hotel was also very clean and quiet, which made the stay even more comfortable. Dear Team, I just wanted to say a big thank you for the beautiful birthday surprise in my room. The gift and card truly made my day and was such a thoughtful gesture. I really appreciate your kindness and excellent hospitality. With thanks, Mohammedali"
