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 "Imposing 1930s building with an executive lounge and warmly sty led bedrooms offering high levels of comfort and good facilities."
Fodor's "Opened in 1932, the Alcron was one of Prague's first luxury hotels... the restaurant remains one of Prague's best." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The views from the upper floors of this exquisite hotel could be an attraction in themselves."
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 "Although it is no match for the Four Seasons, it competes on par with the recently renovated Marriott, and service compares favorably with the InterContinental." Full review
The Telegraph9.0
"One of the finest Art Nouveau gems in a city more or less brimming with them, the Radisson Blu Alcron is not just pretty to look at - inside and out - but has an impressive suite of amenities too." Full review
Forbes Travel Guide 4 Stars
"In Prague, almost every building has a story, but few tell more astonishing tales than those around Wenceslas Square, including Radisson Blu Alcron Hotel." Full review
Michelin Guide "The art deco features of this imposing 1930s building are superb and its original white and green marble floor has been meticulously maintained" Full review
