A beautifully restored art nouveau building with lots to explore. We had a very memorable dinner in the lavishly decorated restaurant and the very atmospheric American bar serves a wide range of cocktails. Well worth a visit!

There was many positive reviews about this place but I don't get why. It's a nice looking building but not much to see.

Really nice in here, other than the smoke. Very grand and plush and ornate. Recommend getting an alcove seat with views across the room.

We explored this on the ground floor and basement where there is a restaurant and the oldest bar in Prague.We followed this with tea, coffee and cake (Sachertorte) in the cafe. service and drinks/cake were excellent and such a lovely environment to sit and while away some time.

This building is an art nouveau masterpiece. It has a concert hall, exhibition rooms, a couple of restaurants and a bar. If you are in Prague before July 2013, do not miss the Alfons Mucha posters exhibition.

This building is beautiful, but the best part is the kavarna, a beautiful coffeehouse, where one can order coffee, but also wonderful desserts, beer and wine.

75 minutes of brilliant music in at superb Art Nouveau auditorium The only downside was the room was quite warm and the seats were very uncomfortable so I would take a cushion next time.

We visited the Obecni Dum on Monday 29 April 2013 quite unplanned. We had a very pleasant coffee in the magnificant surroundings of the art-noveau cafe. The prices are steep but the surrounding glamour makes it all worthwhile. We then bought tickets for the Ivan Lendl:Alfons Mucha exhibition which was superb. As we had not joined a tour of the...

The price of admission is steep but we enjoyed the tour which takes you through quite a few rooms on the second floor. Since its Art Noveau its a bit different than most historical European buildings.
