| Everything was ok at hotel Waldstein in the Mala Strana area, as we expected to find it. A good 3 star hotel. Very easy and fast transport from airport, - direct public bus to metro station, only 2 stops and a few minuts walk. Same cheep ticket can be used. Mala Strana is a beautiful area in Prague with old very well kept houses. As the hotel is situated close to Parliament offices it is a very calm area, and good reataurants expensive and cheep can easily be fould in the neighbourhood. Little Venice in Prague, the area Kampa, is 5 minuts walk away, close to the river Moldau, and with its parks, canals, old houses, restaurants and a museum with modern art make it to a really attractive place. |

| we had one of the ground floor (twin) rooms facing on to the internal courtyard. as the stairways are all wood this was extremely noisy in the early morning from 6.30hrs when all the early risers were getting up. Also the staff used the courtyard to chat and smoke so the smoke and noise permeated into the room through the open windows. Unfortunately not a hotel which has anywhere communal to sit (except the courtyard of course).Beds were comfortable. The 2 rooms we had were shower only -Do not know if they have baths? Vvery well situated hotel ,close enough to Charles Bridge yet quiet at night. Advice -Book a top floor room so you don't hear everyone tramp up and down the wooden stairways. |

| This is a 16th century residence converted to a hotel. The building is beautiful with an attractine interior courtyard; the bathroom was clean and above average for europe. The hotel is located very centrally, 5 minute walk to Charles bridge or the Prague castle, yet is very quiet due to it's hidden location at the end of a cul di sac. The food was above average. |

| When we arrived with our reservation, there was no constancy of this at the hotel. At any rate, the woman in reception gave us a bigger room and respect the conditions we have booked, and after that, cleared up the affair with Venere. Very professional. |

| Small but cozy and close to everything! We loved our stay and will always use this hotel. The breakfast is worth the stay. There is no air-conditioning so request a fan is traveling in the summer. We never had a problem because who sit in their hotel during the day? |

| A fine example of period architecture very central to Prague. Staff very friendly (except when promoting trips), free internet useful. Basically, a great stay, except for the very tired mattress which is not great for the back - but don't let that put you off! |

| The Residence Waldstein is located in a charming section of old Prague known as Mala Strana. The room felt cozy, due to the barrel-vaulted ceiling and hardwood floor, and kitchen. The bathroom was large. I would go back there. The Residence is a short walk to the famous Charles Bridge and 20-30 minutes by foot to Hradcany castle, the largest castle in Europe. Hotel staff speaks English and is very responsive to questions and requests. |

| I booked the accommodation through venere with a note that I required twin beds (not double). The request had obviously not been acknowledged but we were offered an apartment. It had a spacious bathroom (only downside was that there was only a shower not a bath - but the shower was good and powerful and the water was always hot), a kitchen with kettle, fridge and cups, saucers, plates, etc. There was a large room with twin beds pushed together and a small table and chairs. In addition there was a twin bed room. I found the bed very comfy and slept really well. The breakfast was great and was served in the cellar area. All the food was excellent. I was nervous before arriving that I had not received confirmation of a twin room, especially as the pics indicated cramped accommodation. I was very pleasantly surprised at what we were offered, and the stated rate was adhered to even though I think we got much better accom than we'd booked. |

| 1. Hotel devant probablement être très bien si l'on évite les chambres 101-102-103 (dans une cour intérieure commune avec des habitations de pragois, et à côté d'une porte d'immeuble qui s'ouvre à l'aide d'une sonnette et qui claque violemment en se refermant, et ce à toute heure de la nuite comme du jour) 2. Séjour très bruyant, du fait de travaux de réfection effectués sur un immeuble voisin (sympa les marteaux-piqueurs à 7h du mat' quand on est en vacances) 3. Chambre très mal agencée (impossible de circuler dans la chambre, du fait de la grande taille des 2 lits mis côte à côte par-rapport à la taille de la chambre). 4. Seul point positif : l'emplacement de l'hotel, idéal pour visiter tout ce qu'il y a à voir et près de stations de tramways et de métro |

| Cet hotel est remarquablement situé dans un quartier calme, à 2 min à pieds du pont Charles et facile à atteindre par metro, La chambre etait très spacieuse et agréablement meublée. En fait il s'agissait d'un studio avec cuisine equipé mais nous ne l'avons su qu'en arrivant à l'hotel. |

| The hotel is very well placed for tourism. It's quiet, and the quality of service is good. Small inconvenient : our bathroom was separated from the room. However, it was a private one, just beside the room, and it it not the case of the rooms, so it's a small inconvenient compared to all the advantages. |

| Generally a very good experience and I would stay at Ave Waldstein again. The location is excellent for access to all the historic locations in Prague, and convenient for the Metro (Malostranska). Very good buffet breakfast in vaulted cellar (but inferior coffee). The rooms were smaller and not quite as elegantly furnished as I had expected from the photographs on the web site, and thus I felt the cost per night expensive for what was provided. On the other hand, the in-room safe was free of charge, and the mini-bar prices refreshingly low. Hotel staff were very helpful and all spoke fluent English. |
