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

Michelin Guide "Well-kept and well-situated... Spacious, comfortable, well-equipped bedrooms boast art deco styling and balconies."
Frommer's "Recently reconstructed, the Jalta has put on a fresh face and a new attitude." Full review
Concierge "A Stalinist monstrosity just a few years back, the Jalta is now positively vibrant, down to the authentic Warhol print of Franz Kafka in the lobby."
Fodor's "The Jalta is arguably the smartest hotel on central Wenceslas Square, with a historically protected facade that dates from the 1950s in the style of Socialist Realist." Full review
Lonely Planet "Hidden beneath the 1950s Hotel Jalta on Wenceslas Square lies a communist-era nuclear shelter that was opened to the public in 2013." Full review
OysterUpscale
"The Jalta Boutique Hotel is an upscale 94-room property with a prime New Town location on Wenceslas Square." Full review
Time Out "Hotel Jalta offers a home base in the center of the action on Wenceslas Square, the heart of New Town located just a five-minute walk from Old Town Square" Full review

Put in a request for a room facing the square to enjoy a terrace view, but beware the potential for late-night noise.
