Hotel Neruda

Rooms

All 42 rooms are bright and light, combining dark woods and natural fabrics to soothe and satisfy the design-aware. Each is of a slightly different design and layout, which is why we love the place!

Mini rooms, as the name suggests, are the smallest (but still a good size for a city hotel) so we’d only recommend them for weekenders. The Standard rooms are slightly bigger, with spacious bathrooms, modern design and trimmings. Most share the same style - a huge portrait of Jan Neruda behind the bed - but the attic rooms are particularly fetching, with stylish egg-like tubs tucked amid the beams and eaves.

The Superior and Design Deluxe rooms are larger, with views of the cobbled street below. On our last visit, we stayed in the latter; our room had a vaulted ceiling and thick walls that cocooned us from any outside noise. They have incredible soaking tubs, which are great after a day of sightseeing. The two Romantic Design Deluxe rooms offer the most space.

Some rooms have in-room tubs and glass-walled bathrooms - romantic for some but not ideal for friends or couples who like to keep a bit of mystery.

Features include:

• Air conditioning
• Central heating
• Coffee / tea making
• Hairdryer
• Minibar
• Safe box
• Toiletries
• TV
• WiFi

Eating

The generous buffet breakfast includes the usual suspects like croissants, cereals, fruit salad, a variety of hams and cheese, various breads, jams, and eggs. There were also a few local touches - smoked sausage, pickled herring, roast new potatoes in dill cream and 'farmers' quiche. All washed down with a choice of fruit juices, and bottomless cups of tea or coffee (sadly out of a machine).

There's a café onsite which mostly serves coffee and cake, plus a few sandwiches, quiches and other light-lunch staples. Open into the evening, they also serve alcohol – our glass of prosecco on arrival was served here.

For dinner, there are plenty of great restaurants within walking distance. Lokal is a buzzing bar and eatery at the end of the street, with lots of hearty dishes on the menu and a good crowd of locals and tourists. There are lots of tourist traps though - ask the hotel for the best insight.

Location

Hotel Neruda is just below Prague's Castle along one of the city's prettiest streets in the centrally located Old City.

By Air:
Vaclav Havel Airport Prague (14km) is nearest.

From the Airport
The airport is 30 minutes from the hotel by taxi. You may prefer to use public transport (combination of bus, metro and tram), which takes 45-50 minutes (depending on traffic). The nearest metro station is a 10-minute walk from the hotel. Note that Hotel Neruda is located on a hill, so if you have heavy suitcases a taxi is more convenient.
