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.”

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