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 - internet access, satellite TV - and old style elegance.

A lovely hidden gem with a quiet, Old World feel, away from the crowds in Old Town but an easy walk to most everything. We braved the crowds on the Charles Bridge and Old Town Square, but were relieved to return to this quiet oasis at the end of each day. At check-in on a warm day, we were greeted with cool towels, cold beers and a bouquet of flowers--such welcoming touches. Upon entering our room, we were greeted with a welcome gift of fruit, cheeses and a bottle of wine. Our room, the Tycho Brahe suite, was very spacious, with tons of Molten Brown amenities and a gloriously comfortable king bed. Breakfast each morning was included, and the offerings were quite sumptuous: a small buffet, plus sparkling wine and a vast selection of hot meals to choose from. Dinner at the Terrace restaurant, with views over the city, was unforgettable. We took advantage of the hotel's offer of airport pick-up and drop-off and the drivers were both friendly and professional - highly recommend! Additionally, the front desk was able to arrange (on very short notice) for a private walking tour of the Jewish Quarter with a delightful and knowledgeable tour guide (Nina) who picked us up in the lobby. There is no question that when we return to Prague, we will be returning to the Golden Well.…

Hotel's Favorite
There are hotels in the world that make other choices in the area superfluous. Examples include The Grand Hotel in Milan and The Merrion Hotel in Dublin. The Golden Well is one of those hotels. The location is elegant and quiet, yet central. The views are striking. The staff is friendly, and the restaurant is excellent. The room are well-appointed, comfortable, and unique. The Golden Well makes visiting Prague simple; I would not stay anywhere else.

We traveled with old friends to Prague and all enjoyed a fabulous stay at Golden Well. The rooms are lovely with plush comfortable bedding, the staff is incredibly gracious and helpful and the food delicious. We especially enjoyed our morning breakfast - and the evening happy hour and turn down amenities were a special treat. The location is ideal, a quiet street away from the crowds. Highly recommend this lovely hotel!

The perfect stay. This was a fabulous experience for us. Upon arrival, we were offered a cool cucumber towel and a welcome drink. I can't imagine anyone who would not be pleased with the level of luxury and service. The staff are truly amazing and were even before we arrived offering dining suggestions and organizing a tour and car service from and to the airport. Loved the breakfast - sparkling wine and sumptuous crepes every morning for five days! The ladies who serve breakfast are wonderful and welcoming. The evening reception was a nice touch. It was nice to enjoy a glass of wine and goodies after a day of touring. The turndown service, too, was great and the nighttime treats a delight. The hotel is very well located close to the castle and about 20-minutes walk to the old town. I highly recommend the Golden Well and wouldn't stay anywhere else if I were to return to Prague. Thank you everyone for a wonderful vacation.…

What a lovely property with amazing views of Prague. The rooms are spacious, well appointed, very clean & comfortable. The staff welcoming, professional and friendly. At check in we were offered a glass of sparkling followed by a tour of the complete property. Our dinner on the terrace was delicious with a view the would be difficult to top. We looked forward to that same view during our tasty breakfasts. The front desk were very helpful with arranging transportation, tours & dinner recommendations/reservations. The location was perfect for our group…..an easy walk to gardens, across the Charles Bridge & on to the clock……an uphill to the castle, St Vitus and Strahov Monastery/Library. Hint: if you book directly with the hotel they provide a welcome gift.

Extremely nice hotel, strategically located with 5 minutes to the tram station and 10 minutes walking to Charles bridge. The team was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast is very well organized and of a good quality (try the omelet with cheese and vegetables). The room was spacious, clean, and it includes a very nice music. Honestly, I've been travelling with my family for years and this is the first time I can say that I was very satisfied from my stay.

Charming boutique hotel located very near the castle & close to the Charles Bridge. Extremely high-end furnishing--lovely wood pieces/decor. Breakfast at top floor restaurant was outstanding with tremendous views of the city. Highly recommended vs standard global hotel chain experience.

The location is great, surrounded by activities, but isolated enough to feel like an oasis. The facility itself is gorgeous, plenty of public seating if you wanted to relax outside of your room. Service was excellent, having no issues with anything that we needed. The room was very well appointed and we loved the turndown service. We were sad that our flight was too early to enjoy the breakfast, but they provided a sack lunch with a sandwich, fruit, and juice. We also ate that the terrace restaurant, which was amazing. The view was spectacular and the food (we had the chef's tasting menu) was top tier. We're very excited to see where this young chef goes and wouldn't be surprised if the Michelin guide finds it fit to recognize him!
