Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Book a river-facing room for a quieter stay with a scenic view; road-facing or lower-deck rooms can experience noise from traffic, footfall, and the gangway.

  • 02

    Use the frequent tram lines 3, 17, and 21 (stop Kublov, 2 minutes walk) for a 10-minute ride to the city centre - tickets are available at reception.

  • 03

    Reserve parking directly on the hotel's own website to reduce the nightly fee from €9 to €1.

  • 04

    Request a room away from the restaurant and communal areas if you are sensitive to noise from furniture movement and corridor activity during evening hours.
