Golden Well Hotel

My wife and I were in Prague for four nights celebrating our wedding anniversary. We are SO happy that we chose to stay at the Golden Well Hotel. It is situated in a charming old building that was built in the 16th century but has been fully renovated with fully up-to-date and modern amenities. The building itself is beautiful and one reaches it by a charming cobblestone walkway. Incidentally, the building was the home of the famous astronomer, Tyco Brahe, an added bonus for any science nerds that might be in Prague! Our reception was delightful, and we found everyone to be extremely helpful. We would like to make special mention of Oleg and Vasyl at the front desk who were very kind and unfailingly helpful. Our room was lovely and well appointed. It had a spectacular view of the Old Town in the distance as well as a view of the beautiful Saint Nicholas Church, which is just about a three minute walk from the hotel. We were delighted by the turn-down service in which a delicious small dessert was left for us each evening! The breakfast was delicious and was served on the top floor terrace which also has a spectacular view. Breakfast was abundant with fruits, breads, cheeses, cereals; as well as made to order, omelettes, pancakes, waffles, etc. We want to make a special mention of Andrea, the waitress/hostess in the breakfast terrace upstairs - she was extremely friendly and helpful. Every day from about 4 PM to 6 PM they set out a selection of treats, including cookies, nuts, cake; as well as mulled, wine, coffee, and tea. This is all served in a charming little side room that is very inviting. The location of the hotel is excellent. It is situated in a quiet part of the city, but is still within walking distance to major attractions and the hustle and bustle. The hotel is nestled under the castle district, thus it is a relatively short (but steep!) walk to the castle complex, the cathedral, etc. It is about a 15 minute walk to the head of the Charles bridge where there are many shops, cafés, etc. The Lennon wall is also down near the head of the Charles Bridge, about a 10 or 15 minute walk from the hotel. The surrounding streets are very picturesque and also seemed very safe. To get to Old Town, which is much more bustling, it’s about a 20 or 30 minute walk. Alternatively, if you don’t wish to walk, it is easy to take the tram which stops just a few minutes from the hotel and is straightforward to navigate. Also, we should mention that if you are over 65 (perhaps over 60?) all of the public transportation in Prague, such as trains and the metro are free! So you don’t have to deal with the added confusion of purchasing tickets, etc. Everyone at the Golden Well Hotel seemed intent on making our experience as nice as possible. They certainly succeeded. We recommend The Golden Well Hotel with the highest possible enthusiasm! If and when we return to Prague we would absolutely love to stay here again!

This hotel is absolutely stunning with character. The location is fantastic in the more relaxed area of prague. The room’s are very spacious with a super-comfy mattress. A choice of pillows when the bed gets turned down. The staff go that little bit extra, our cases were took to our room whilst we got a tour of the hotel facilities with a welcome drink. Stunning views of prague from the rooftop restaurant make’s this hotel stand out from others. After a long day, a hot bath run by the staff and bedtime cake at your bedside table were just perfect. As you would expect the food was amazing, plenty of choice at breakfast with best quality ingredients. Walking distance to every attraction in prague, but just below the castle walls made this hotel the perfect location we thought. We would like to thank all the staff for making this holiday feel so relaxing. Great city with excellent food, we will be bringing the kids back next time.

We cannot recommend this hotel highly enough. From the amazing welcome reception when we arrived, the lovely welcome letter in our room, the attention to detail throughout, and the wonderful breakfasts in the dining room .... it was all a delightful experience. All of the staff were helpful and attentive and our room was beautiful. One of the many great things about the hotel is the location. It is in walking distance to everything but in a very quiet section of the city, immediately below the castle. It was lovely to leave the craziness behind and retreat to the quietness of the hotel and enjoy the wonderful views of the city.

We had a wonderful stay here - the staff were so welcoming and helpful and we really appreciated the little extras, like the pillow menu, the bedtime nibbles and afternoon teas where you could meet other guests. It was very quiet and we slept well, the bed and pillows were so comfortable! We liked the detailed info when we arrived and the relaxed atmosphere throughout. Breakfasts were fabulous, with wonderful views and we really enjoyed dinner too. Probably lying o e our memorable hotels which we would highly recommend. Late check out ti.e at 12 was also helpful, avoiding the morning rush. Thank you!

What an amazing and beautiful hotel! The accommodation, grounds, and staff were amazing! Its right in city center and within walking distance to everything. Its very quaint and comfortable yet the amenities were incredible. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and memorable. From the time you walk in until you leave, they attend to every detail. The rooms were spotless and so comfortable! The attached restaurant was wonderful. I also highly recommend their taxi service to and from the airport. I never have to look for a hotel in Prague because I will stay there again without question.
