Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Peak-hour breakfast seating — One guest found limited seating for breakfast at busy times, so you may need to wait during rush hours.
  • Shabby around the edges — While charming and comfortable, the boat shows some wear – one traveller called it 'shabby but cute.'

“I had a unique experience staying at a boat hotel in Prague. The river views were lovely, especially after dark, and the bed was comfortable with a quiet room that gave me a great night's sleep. The location was fantastic, with the old town just a short walk away. The staff, particularly the night receptionist and the airport driver, were friendly and helpful. For the price, it was excellent value for a budget city break.”

“The value for money was amazing. We got a really good deal and the room was very comfortable. The location was spot on – close to the centre but still quiet and peaceful.”

8.1Verified guest

“I stayed with my 12-year-old and he loved the adventure of it – the river view, the party boats passing by, fishermen in the morning mist, trains crossing the bridge and up the hill, even the lightning and storm waves at night. I liked the nostalgic, old-school feel. The woman at the desk spoke several languages and moved us to a river-side room when we asked.”

8.1Verified guest

“Very good location, right in the heart of old Prague. Wonderful views from the windows over the Vltava. Rooms were rather nice and cosy.”
