Historic Accommodation with Character

The Charles Hotel occupies a medieval building from 1408, originally known as 'The House at the Golden Eagle.' The 31 air-conditioned rooms include Baroque-style furniture, restored wooden beam ceilings with painted foliage scenes, satellite TV, minibars, in-room safes, and free Wi-Fi. Some rooms offer views across the Vltava River toward Prague's Old Town.

Ground Floor Restaurant

A restaurant on the ground floor serves daily buffet breakfast. The lobby bar provides drinks and snacks throughout the day.

24-Hour Guest Services

The 24-hour reception offers laundry service and facilities for disabled guests. Pets are allowed upon request with an additional fee.

Lesser Town Location

Located on Josefska Street in Prague's Lesser Town (Mala Strana), the hotel is 100 meters from Charles Bridge. The surrounding area includes Prague Castle (1 km), Lennon Wall (300 meters), Old Town Square (1 km), and Petrin Hill (1 km).

Historical Building Features

The building showcases Late Gothic, Renaissance, and Neo-baroque architectural elements. Protected as Czech National Heritage, it preserves original stone staircases, wooden parquets, painted ceilings, and lion mask decorations on the facade facing Mostecka Street.

“The hotel's location proves ideal, set a short walk from major attractions and conveniently close to transport. Its historical setting and Baroque style create an intimate atmosphere, while still providing modern comforts. Though an older building, the property is well-maintained, with friendly staff ensuring a pleasant stay.”
