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-maintained, modern hotel in a quiet area, with a bright lobby and comfortable, contemporary bedrooms."
Fodor's "What is mood lifting is the hotel's Planet Zen spa. The location can't be beat, either, next to two of the city's best restaurants and a five-minute walk from Old Town Square." Full review
Travel + Leisure "The Maximilian is a welcoming spot near the Old Town Square." Full review
DK Eyewitness "One of the most fashionable places to stay in the city. Exquisitely furnished rooms with over-sized beds are the order of the day at the Maximilian."
Star Service "On a quiet cobblestoned square...this hotel faces the street with an elegant period facade that gives no indication that the interior is equipped to meet modern expectations." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "With a superb location and smart, friendly staff, the 71 room Maximilian is a great base from which to discover Prague, since most of the city is within walking distance of the front door." Full review
The Telegraph8.0
"This low-key design hotel ticks all the right boxes, from a quiet and central location, modern yet elegant rooms, excellent service and an Asian-themed spa offering deluxe massages." Full review

"Maximilian Hotel is a contemporary three-and-a-half-pearl property in Old Town on a quiet cobblestone street." Full review
