Monastery Garden Prague

"I read reviews about this hotel before booking and it seemed charming and well located so I booked it for 2 nights . I did not see the fine print that said no lift so that was a major problem . I would have expected that to be in bold print especially since they have 3 or 4 floors and only steps and no bellman/porter !! We arrived by taxi who dropped us outside of the square as the hotel is located in an area that does not allow traffic which I understand. No one seemed to know exactly where the hotel was ( not even the lady in the Monastery Garden gift shop !!) as we were pointed in 3 different directions and finally found the front door . I would suggest better signage. We rang the bell and pushed the door and realized that we had made a mistake!! the receptionist told us we were in an attic room and we went to look at it as we couldnt take our bags up 3 or 4 flights of stairs. The room was horrible....a tiny double bed, a steep metal staircase from the bathroom up to the bedroom, and we decided to forget it and checked out. I suppose if we had a ground floor room it might have been okay but if the other rooms were anything like the one we saw i would not have stayed . I was a hotel GM for many years and Monastery Garden should not be rated 4 stars by any hotel standards - it is 2 at the most and very deceptive to be rated otherwise. Stephen at the front desk was not very friendly either although he helped us get on their wifi to book another hotel ."

"We just finished a very short 4 day stay in Prague and we are SO HAPPY that we booked into the Monastery Garden Hotel. Originally what caught our eye was the cobbled inner courtyard where we could obviously unwind in a beautiful little Oasis in the middle of this magnificent city! We were not disappointed with anything this lovely hotel offered. It's a gorgeous old building, that looks average sized from the outside, but just seems to go on and on, inside - delightfully surprising! Very clean rooms with everything we needed, friendly and available staff, great value for money, and just so close to all the main areas we wanted to explore - walking distance. We will be recommending this hotel to others and will repeat our stay when we next visit Prague!"

"🏨 Hotel Monastery Garden Prague – Review Hotel Monastery Garden Prague is a charming boutique hotel that offers a peaceful and authentic stay right in the heart of Prague’s Old Town. With an overall rating of around 4.1/5 from 800+ reviews, it’s considered a solid and reliable choice for travelers. One of the hotel’s biggest strengths is its excellent location. It sits on a quiet street, yet is only a short walk from major attractions like Old Town Square and Charles Bridge. Guests frequently mention that they can explore the city entirely on foot while still enjoying a calm, relaxing environment away from the crowds. The hotel itself is set in a historic building, giving it a unique, romantic atmosphere. Many visitors describe it as “full of character,” with a cozy and slightly old-fashioned charm that makes the stay feel special and memorable. Rooms are generally clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, though they are more functional than luxurious. Breakfast is another highlight. Guests consistently praise the varied buffet, which includes both hot dishes like eggs and bacon and continental options such as pastries, fruit, and cheese. Staff are also frequently described as friendly and helpful, contributing to a welcoming experience. However, there are a few downsides to consider. The hotel does not have an elevator, and the spiral staircases can be challenging—especially with luggage or for guests with mobility issues. Some rooms also lack air conditioning, which may make summer stays less comfortable. Additionally, while rooms are cozy, they can be small or slightly outdated compared to modern hotels. ✅ Pros Quiet but central location Unique historic charm Good breakfast Friendly staff Clean, comfortable rooms ❌ Cons No elevator (stairs only) No air conditioning in some rooms Rooms may feel small or basi"
