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

Ask for a room with a view on either the 7th or 8th floor.
Frommer's "The Josef stands as the new home for tasteful minimalism in the new Bohemia. It is the hippest of Prague's new hip hotels." Full review
Concierge "The city's highest style quotient—or most self-conscious design statement—belongs to this 2003-vintage place five minutes' walk from Old Town Square near Josefov."
DK Eyewitness "This ultra-modern hotel is a wonderful contrast to the historic Jewish Quarter."
Rough Guide "Prague’s top designer hotel exudes modern professionalism, the lobby is a symphony in off-white efficiency and the rooms continue the crisply maintained minimalist theme."
Star Service "In the center of the city...in the touristy Jewish quarter, this is one of Prague's more distinct design-hotels, and its popularity arises for a reason; this is a wonderful hotel." Full review
i
The best choice is to ask for a room facing the garden.
Jetsetter "Modern, lively antidote to the Czech capital’s abundant neo-Renaissance and Art Nouveau historic hotels." Full review

"Reliable service, great views and excellent value for money are the hallmarks of this Old Town hotel, which attracts everyone from novelists to Mediterranean package groups who’ve done their homework." Full review
