Rough Guide
"Giant 1930s luxury hotel, just off Wenceslas Square, which has been superbly restored to its former Art Deco glory by the Radisson chain."
Time Out
"The Radisson SAS Alcron was known as a jazz hotel when it was built in 1930. It's kept that part of its history preserved, despite since morphing into one of the city's first luxury hotels." Full review

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

The best choice is to ask for a room facing the garden.
