When my fiancée and I were planning our stay in Prague we knew we wanted a nice place with local flavor that was well located. I'd only been there once, long ago for business, and she had never been there. In the end, we could not have picked a better spot. The hotel is in a perfect location. We walked everywhere. The Charles Bridge is right down the street, the Castle just up the hill. The view from our third floor window was spectacular. The Alchymist oozes with character, we literally had our breath taken away when we first walked into our room. The front desk staff could not have been more welcoming. They were pleasant and helpful. The hotel got in touch a week or so before to ask if we wanted a ride from the airport. The cost is very reasonable and is added to your bill. Highly recommend this. The hotel is located next to the US embassy, so the street is quiet and well guarded. We already look forward to our next visit to Prague and it is certain we will stay at the Alchymist.

I booked the Alchymist for a 3 day visit for my wife and I for a combined birthday present. After searching through the websites of probably 70+ hotels, I chose the Alchymist due to its wonderful decor which is very much my wife’s taste, the location and the reviews I had read. I have to say it was certainly the right choice as everything about the Alchymist was wonderful! Upon arrival we were met at the entrance as we stepped out of our taxi, welcomed to the hotel and our ( very heavy) Case was taken through to reception. We were seated at a grand desk and offered a glass of sparkling wine whilst we completed the check in process. We were then walked up to our room by a member of the staff who showed us the lounges, bar, and restaurant whilst telling us their opening times. He told us about the Spa and Pool and also about the daily complimentary cheese and wine served between 4pm - 5pm..... a very nice touch! He showed us our room and explained about the room safe etc..., then he returned a few minutes later with our case. The room was beautiful, very ornate with a terrifically comfortable bed. We asked for some additional pillows and an iron which arrived in minutes. We only ate breakfast at the hotel as we were sightseeing most of the time. However the choice was terrific and the food excellent. Every member of staff we encountered was extremely efficient and very polite and friendly. However, I have to say a special thank you to the two reception staff and in particular, Pavel who was absolutely terrific. I spoke to Pavel continually throughout our stay to ask general questions about directions etc... but he also helped me tremendously booking a river boat dinner cruise on one evening and an evening at the Mozart Dinner which I can highly recommend! In both of the above, Pavel rang the venues and secured us the best seating. It was also very convenient that we were able to pay the hotel for each event rather than having to pay at the venue or through their website. i have probably had well over 100 hotel stays over the years for business ( especially) and leisure trips through Europe, Asia and the US. I can honestly say that my stay at the Alchymist is possibly the best experience I have had. The politeness and efficiency of the staff is absolutely first class. The decor is wonderful and the hotel is spotlessly clean. The location of the hotel is excellent; in a quiet street but within 7 mins walk from Charles bridge which takes you into the Old town. If I visit Prague again, this hotel would be my first if not only choice. I can’t recommend it strongly enough! Julian 6.01.20

Stayed here with my other half. The building is just over 500 year old and is situated next to the American Embassy and is a very safe area of the city. The Hotel cost that little bit extra to stay there and is very authentic in the deco inside the rooms and throughout the hotel itself. The staff are awesome and very friendly. Each room has a mini bar that you have to pay for and its not cheap to purchase from it. Also has a pool and sauna in the lower levels of the hotel. The food is awesome and very fresh. Its located on the West side of the river but close to the castle in the city. I would go there again and is more enjoyable in winter months with less people there and costs lower than summert time 10/10
