HOTEL PETR, Prague

Located in the Smíchov district near Kinsky Gardens, the hotel is well connected by tram (stop Švandovo divadlo, 2 min walk) to all major sights - Wenceslas Square and the National Theatre are just a few stops away. Public transport tickets can be purchased at reception. The neighbourhood is leafy and calm, with a good selection of restaurants, cafés and a shopping centre within short walking distance. While the centre is walkable in 15-25 minutes, the tram provides a quick option for tired feet or longer distances. Free weekend street parking is available on the street in front of the hotel, though weekday parking is restricted.

The accommodation includes twin and family rooms, some with a fireplace feature. All rooms come with a private bathroom (shower, hairdryer, free toiletries), a seating area, wardrobe, and carpeted floors. The rooms are reported as clean and comfortable with good beds, but the bathrooms are small and the shower cabin is compact. The older-style furniture is basic but functional. Some rooms face the inner courtyard, which stays quiet, but street-facing rooms may experience occasional noise outside late hours. The lift only reaches between floors, so guests may need to carry luggage up a short flight of stairs to reach the corridor. There are no balconies. The air conditioning unit works well, though the remote must be requested from reception. Storage is adequate, but the room design can make opening large suitcases tricky in tighter spaces.

Breakfast is included in most rates and runs from 7:00 to 10:00. The buffet offers a varied spread including sweet pastries, fresh fruit, cold cuts, cheese, and hot items like scrambled eggs and sausages. Bacon is served on some days but not daily. A self-serve coffee machine with espresso, cappuccino, and latte is available. While many find the breakfast satisfying and well-stocked, the quality can be inconsistent; some items such as bread or granola may occasionally taste stale, and the hot milk can be sour. For those wanting a wider or fresher selection, several cafés and a supermarket are within a 5-10 minute walk. There is no restaurant on-site for lunch or dinner, but the surrounding streets offer many dining options, including Italian cuisine at the adjacent restaurant Petr.

There are no on-site wellness facilities. Guests seeking recreation can enjoy Kinsky Gardens, a large park adjacent to the property, ideal for walks, jogging, or relaxing away from the city buzz. The park connects to Petřín Hill, offering panoramic views of Prague. For indoor activities, the nearby mall and the city's cultural attractions are a short tram ride away.

The hotel offers a 24-hour front desk with currency exchange, concierge service, and tour desk. Free luggage storage is available for early arrivals or late departures. Paid laundry and ironing services are offered. Business facilities include fax/photocopying and meeting/banquet rooms for an extra charge. The hotel is non-smoking throughout and has a designated smoking area. Safety features include key card access and safety deposit boxes (fee). There is no lift to all room levels, so guests with limited mobility should request a ground-floor room. Wi-Fi in rooms is free but can be weak or intermittent, especially on upper floors. Public transport tickets are sold at reception.
