RIVER HOTEL KOENIGSTEIN, Prague

The botel is moored just below the Czech Bridge, putting you within a 13-minute walk of Charles Bridge and a 10-minute walk from the Jewish Quarter and Christmas markets. A tram stop (Právnická fakulta) is a 2-minute walk away, connecting directly to the city centre and metro. For airport transfers, take bus 119 to Nádraží Veleslavín, metro to Staroměstská, then tram 17; a taxi costs around €20-25. Parking is available on-site (€25/night, reservation needed) or at a nearby garage (€27/night). The area is packed with restaurants and cafés, including several within 500 metres.

Rooms come as twin or triple cabins, each with two or three single beds respectively (no double beds). Beds are 190 cm long - travellers over 185 cm may find them short. The private bathroom includes a shower, hairdryer, and free toiletries. Cabins are carpeted and have a wardrobe, safe, and heating. Air conditioning is centrally controlled and may not provide strong cooling; windows cannot be opened, so the room can become stuffy. Noise from the water pump and drainage is audible when other cabins use the bathroom. Please note that the property has no elevator and lower-deck cabins are accessed via steep stairs.

Breakfast includes warm items, juice, fresh pastries, cheese, fruit, and cereals. Gluten-free bread is available on request. The dining room offers river views, and the outdoor deck provides a pleasant setting for meals and drinks. The on-site bar is open non-stop and serves wine, champagne, and snacks. Themed dinner nights (additional charge) are occasionally held. Several restaurants are within a 5-minute walk, including Zlata Praha and Field Restaurant.

The botel features a sun terrace with free sun loungers and umbrellas - ideal for unwinding while watching river life. Themed dinner nights are organised for an extra fee. Off-site activities include cycling and hiking, and the Vltava River offers kayaking, canoeing, and boating (tickets for cruises are available from a nearby office). No spa, pool, or gym is available on board.

WiFi is free in all areas. The 24-hour front desk can arrange tours and help with transfers. Luggage storage is available for early arrivals or late departures. Daily housekeeping is free, and meeting/banquet facilities are offered at an additional cost. On-site parking costs €25/night (must be reserved); a nearby public garage is €27/night (no reservation). Note that there is no elevator and the property is not wheelchair-accessible. Pets are not allowed. Safety deposit boxes are provided in each cabin.
