Hotel Details

Location

Situated on the Vltava River, 4 km from Charles Bridge, with Smíchov train station just 200 metres away for easy access to the city and airport.
The botel is moored in a quiet riverside area, yet public transport is exceptionally convenient. Smíchov station (200 m) offers tram, metro (line B), and train connections, reaching the historic centre in 5-20 minutes. The airport is 15 km away and accessible via metro and bus. Several restaurants, a McDonald's (open until midnight), and a local pub are within a few minutes' walk. Vyšehrad Castle is a short stroll across the river, and Anděl shopping mall is one metro stop away. The location is well-suited for exploring Prague with a car, as the on-site parking saves the hassle of city-centre parking fees.

Dining

Breakfast is served buffet-style for an additional €6, offering a wide variety of hot and cold items in a dining room with river views.
The breakfast buffet runs from 07:00 to 10:00 and includes bread, pastries, cheese, cold cuts, yoghurt, fruit, cereals, hot dishes (scrambled eggs, sausages, grilled vegetables), and a coffee machine. Early breakfast packs can be arranged for early departures. There is no restaurant for lunch or dinner, and the bar on the upper deck is often closed. However, numerous restaurants and fast-food options are within a few minutes' walk, including an Italian restaurant, a traditional Czech pub, and a McDonald's. The breakfast is generally well-regarded for its variety and quality, though some items may not be restocked after 09:30.

The botel has a sun terrace, picnic area, and outdoor furniture, as well as access to hiking, cycling, and a golf course nearby.
The upper deck terrace offers panoramic river views and is open to all guests. There is a picnic area with tables and outdoor furniture. For active leisure, the surrounding area provides opportunities for hiking (free, off-site) and cycling (off-site). A golf course is within 3 km (additional charge).

Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Book a river-view room for the best experience and scenic views of Vyšehrad.

  • 02

    Use the nearby Smíchov train station (200 m) for direct tram, metro, and train connections to the city centre and airport.

  • 03

    Reserve parking in advance as only 14 spaces are available and they fill quickly.

  • 04

    Request a room away from the bar area if you are sensitive to noise, as the upper deck can be lively until late.

  • 05

    Plan breakfast early to enjoy the full buffet selection, as items may not be restocked after 09:30.
