“Great rooms and amazing view”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 18, 2013

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel over the summer. Nice location and view from the restaurant is fantastic. I was a little disappointed with the small windows from the room, but the room was so comfortable, that I got over this.

“Boutique feel - believe the reviews!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 14, 2013

Stayed here in September 2012 with my husband for 3 nights. An adorable hotel that has me wanting to return to Prague simply to stay there again. It's expensive but you can see what you're paying for. A refreshing glass of bubbly and amuse-bouches on the terrace on arrival, and an overview of the city given by a very welcoming staff member. He was very happy to answer any questions and provide suggestions on where to start exploring this beautiful city. Before bed each night we were delighted to discover freshly made profiterles/chocolates/strawberry treats on our pillow.

Breakfast is a lavish feast, best breakfast I have had in any hotel worldwide, all served in their beautiful restaurant with a panaromic view of the city.

Bonus: they provide (unlimited) delicious czech wine every evening between 5-7pm in the library together with fresh juice/mineral water and nibbles. Its a genuinely nice aperitif, compared with other hotels which offer the same but dont deliver in terms of wine quality etc.

I think very fondly of this hotel and have no hesitation in saying it's the nicest place we have stayed in a long while.

“Simply stunning!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 10, 2013

I'm not sure that my review will really do justice to our stay at the Golden Well, it was simply sublime! From the simple luxury of the room, to the delicious breakfast and wonderful service we felt like royalty throughout our stay. Nothing was too much trouble for the wonderfully friendly staff; I even returned from a night at the opera on the my birthday to find a birthday cake (that looked like a work of art) left in our room, complementary of the hotel. The restaurant also arranged to open late for us to have room service when we returned from the opera that evening. I can not rate this hotel highly enough, I was just disappointed not to have had time to fit in a meal at the highly acclaimed hotel restaurant, there is simply too much to see in the evening in Prague.
To sum up our stay in one word; magical!

“Wonderful place to stay in Prague”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 3, 2013

The hotel is very charming and welcoming. When we arrived, a member of reception took us around the hotel, talked about its history, and sat with us for a short while over a complementary drink in the dining room area to provide recommendations and answer any questions we had on the city. This was very friendly as this was our first time in Prague. The hotel feels very cosy and the room had an iPad just for our use, plus a nice area for complementary coffee and food in the afternoon, where you can meet and chat to other guests if you want. I really enjoyed the dining room which has a stunning view of the Staraya Storone of Prague. We found we could easily walk from the hotel to the centre (despite minus temperatures!). I truly recommend this place for a romantic getaway.

“Whilst it would be good to keep this hotel a secret....”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 3, 2013

It deserves to have its praises sung out loud. We stayed there during early December. The rooms were beautifully appointed. Not with fussy tea trays etc but with classy luxuries like an iPad, Molton Brown, fresh fruit, fine linen.....The staff were unobtrusively helpful. Being a small hotel, it felt as if we were the only guests.
The breakfast was sublime. After all we had heard, the buffet initially looked a bit small but that's because most of what you choose is on the Al La Carte menu. After a beautifully cooked first course (maybe Eggs Benedict or a full English), you feel as if you could eat it all over again, at which point you are asked if you would like a dessert. The menu reappears and you can choose pancakes, French toast, fruit salad... And, yes its true, there is sparkling wine too! And, the coffee is excellent.
As a party of four we had two rooms. Neither had views. So if you want a room with a view its probably best to say so when booking. However, the view from the restaurant was amazing both with and without snow!
The rooms were on the warm side but the temperature was adjusted for us on request. The location is exceptionally quiet (in an upmarket part of Prague) and we slept very well. But still walking distance from the Charles Bridge and other sights, restaurants and shops.
Almost forgot, the 4pm buffet snacks and wine in the Lounge. Each day these were different - small delicious bites, both sweet and savoury.
We really weren't ready to leave this hotel. If you need looking after - this is the place!

Room Tip: Ask if you want a room with a view - or to ensure bath and shower.

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
Charming traditional retreat in 16th-century Emperor's residence, set beneath the walls of Prague Castle. Wander up the cobbled, traffic-free streets to The Golden Well (U Zlate Studne), clinging to the wall in the shadow of Prague Castle, and you will uncover one of the city's best kept secrets. This modest collection of little inter-locking houses was once home to Emperor Rudolf II, and later the astronomer Tycho de Brahe. Sensitive renovation - has created a cosy yet refined hotel. The result is a pleasing balance of mod cons - jacuzzis, internet access, satellite TV - and old style elegance. ... more   less
