Golden Well Hotel in Prague

Fabulous location away from the noise and crowds, very historic and great views from the hotel restaurant. In the summer, the private entrance to the castle gardens must be a highlight! Just a couple of weird points.. The most intense check-in I’ve had into a hotel, with alternating greeting staff and offering a 5-minute beer, offering a wet towel yet straight away asking for passports which I imagine no one wants to get their passports wet. I was a bit let down as a local I could only check-in in English as there was no local staff. Asked for eating and café tips and only got sent to the biggest tourist traps, so some insider knowledge would be nice to upskill the staff with. The bathroom products in the hotel are not local, an oversight for such as upmarket hotel right under the castle. No shower gel, only shampoo, the body lotion is way too thin for skin in winter months. We couldn’t work out how to switch off the bedside table radio, or the bathroom light, so if providing gadgets, perhaps some instruction manuals would have helped. The hotel offers free coffee, however only capsules. The staff left a cake on my bedside table whilst we were out, however with the late arrival into the room I kept knocking into the spoon+plate in the middle of the night. At breakfast, they kept offering soup (??), wine and sparkling wine (?), and juice several times, I felt a little like they were focused on the upsell. Overall, they’ve got the location and the premises, just let down on the final touches/sophistication of staff.

Spectacular, Romantic Boutique Hotel!

My wife and I were in Prague for four nights celebrating our wedding anniversary. We are SO happy that we chose to stay at the Golden Well Hotel.

It is situated in a charming old building that was built in the 16th century but has been fully renovated with fully up-to-date and modern amenities. The building itself is beautiful and one reaches it by a charming cobblestone walkway. Incidentally, the building was the home of the famous astronomer, Tyco Brahe, an added bonus for any science nerds that might be in Prague!

Our reception was delightful, and we found everyone to be extremely helpful. We would like to make special mention of Oleg and Vasyl at the front desk who were very kind and unfailingly helpful.

Our room was lovely and well appointed. It had a spectacular view of the Old Town in the distance as well as a view of the beautiful Saint Nicholas Church, which is just about a three minute walk from the hotel. We were delighted by the turn-down service in which a delicious small dessert was left for us each evening!

The breakfast was delicious and was served on the top floor terrace which also has a spectacular view. Breakfast was abundant with fruits, breads, cheeses, cereals; as well as made to order, omelettes, pancakes, waffles, etc.

We want to make a special mention of Andrea, the waitress/hostess in the breakfast terrace upstairs - she was extremely friendly and helpful.

Every day from about 4 PM to 6 PM they set out a selection of treats, including cookies, nuts, cake; as well as mulled, wine, coffee, and tea. This is all served in a charming little side room that is very inviting.

The location of the hotel is excellent. It is situated in a quiet part of the city, but is still within walking distance to major attractions and the hustle and bustle. The hotel is nestled under the castle district, thus it is a relatively short (but steep!) walk to the castle complex, the cathedral, etc. It is about a 15 minute walk to the head of the Charles bridge where there are many shops, cafés, etc. The Lennon wall is also down near the head of the Charles Bridge, about a 10 or 15 minute walk from the hotel. The surrounding streets are very picturesque and also seemed very safe.

To get to Old Town, which is much more bustling, it’s about a 20 or 30 minute walk. Alternatively, if you don’t wish to walk, it is easy to take the tram which stops just a few minutes from the hotel and is straightforward to navigate. Also, we should mention that if you are over 65 (perhaps over 60?) all of the public transportation in Prague, such as trains and the metro are free! So you don’t have to deal with the added confusion of purchasing tickets, etc.

Everyone at the Golden Well Hotel seemed intent on making our experience as nice as possible. They certainly succeeded. We recommend The Golden Well Hotel with the highest possible enthusiasm! If and when we return to Prague we would absolutely love to stay here again!

Beautiful, historic hotel. Wonderful room. Impeccable service. View from breakfast is stunning. A bit of a hike to old town across the river, but if you want something a bit more chill then this area is for you.

Top-notch, no-compromises, luxury hotel with unmatched views of Prague right outside your window. Intimate, quiet and just wonderful all-around. Terrific service with attention to every detail. You feel special here and you want to stay longer and come back again like we did.

We wanted a smaller boutique hotel outside the hustle of the tourists and this place couldn’t have been more perfect. Lesser town is an easy walk to all the attractions but such a happy escape at the end of the day. We stayed here for our honeymoon and it wasn’t excessively luxe, it was something better: it was perfectly romantic and very charming. Wouldn’t stay anywhere else!

Good service, thanks

The Golden Well Hotel is perfect except for its slightly inconvenient location. There is a welcome drink as soon as you enter the door. There are special staff to take the luggage to the room for guests. The staff who check in speaks very standard English, so the communication is very smooth. They enthusiastically introduce the local restaurants and attractions in Prague.
When I entered the room, I found that some things were prepared thoughtfully, such as slippers by the bed, welcome fruits, etc. The red roofs of Prague are outside the window, and it is very comfortable to stay for one night.
The breakfast is also very good and high quality, so I came early in the morning for a glass of dry white. A hotel I like very much.

Located at the foot of Prague Castle, the 400-year-old building has modern facilities. The daily breakfast is what I look forward to the most. You can see the scenery of the small town from the window, which is leisurely and beautiful. The mattress and pillows are very comfortable (they have a pillow menu), and it is very quiet at night. The staff are very friendly and make you feel at home. However, the taxi cannot drive to the hotel entrance. You need to drag the suitcase uphill and turn a corner to see the inconspicuous door.

The room is very beautiful!! The breakfast service is also very good, the scenery is very good! Fruits were also given~

The price is nice, the location is good, and the service of the waiters is also very good.
