Rough Guide
"Prague’s classic 1950s Stalinist wedding-cake hotel, with its dour socialist realist friezes and large helpings of marble, is now run by Austrians. Doubles from 2000Kč."
Lonely Planet
"The Hotel International was built in the 1950s to a design inspired by a tower of Moscow University, right down to the Soviet-style star on top of the spire. The interior is just as impressive." Full review
Frommer's
"This is another corporate chain (like the Diplomat) that offers good-value rooms, with the trade-off being a slightly out of the way location." Full review

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."

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."

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
