Michelin Guide "Quiet baroque townhouse close to the castle... Splendid staircase leads to traditional bedrooms featuring parquet floors and antique furnishings."
Frommer's "The atmosphere is almost Disneyesque in its pretense, but somehow appropriate for this location at the foot of Prague Castle." Full review
Insight Guides "This Baroque building (it took its present form in 1639) is in a quiet and convenient location at the top of the hill, looking out over Petrín Hill and the Strahov."
Lonely Planet "The ‘King Charles’ is a cosy, romantic hotel set in a lovely, ‘baroquefied’ Gothic building, with rooms set on landings around an impressive central atrium with a stained-glass ceiling." Full review
Travel + Leisure "U Krále Karla (the King Charles) is a 19-room boutique hotel situated on the Royal Route... an old-world atmosphere remains in the individually designed guestrooms." Full review
Rough Guide "Possibly the most tastefully exquisite of all the small luxury hotels in the castle district, with beautiful antique furnishings and stained-glass windows."
Time Out "Although it continues to generate buzz on some online Prague discussion boards, the King Charles remains its stolid, lovely self, with no visible ego boost." Full review
Star Service "Located on the narrow but picturesque thoroughfare that climbs from Mala Strana to Hradcany, Hotel u Krale Karla was once the sibling of the bolder, medieval-flavored Hotel u Pava. " Full review

Fodor's "A baroque-fever dream of Prague masterminded by an Italian developer, the Alchymist doesn't go the understated route." Full review
Lonely Planet "The Alchymist is a thoroughly sumptuous all-suite hotel with a range of richly furnished rooms and a luxurious spa in the basement." Full review
Rough Guide "Total decadent luxury abounds in this sixteenthcentury palace which has been tastefully converted into a secluded spa hotel, complete with Indonesian masseuses and an indoor pool."
Jetsetter "Baroque boutique hotel with fairy tale charm and a grotto-like spa, steps from Prague Castle and the Charles Bridge." Full review
Time Out "Prague's most decadent Habsburg days are still on tap at the Alchymist, with its antique furniture, frescoes, marble baths, ornately carved ceilings and sweeping, gauzy curtains." Full review
Star Service "Thanks to the excellent staff, it is not just a pretty face, and it bolsters this neighborhood's reputation for exclusivity." Full review
