We had a delightful couple of days at Le Palais, with a good deal that included transfers, a splendid tasting menu dinner, a couple of short massages and welcome drinks. Champagne was also provided for my wife's birthday. The hotel is compact but almost perfect in every respect. Staff are charming and extremely helpful. The terrace, with its views of the city, is great for an evening drink. The only gripe with the hotel is its overpriced spirits in the bar - though this is a common feature of Prague hotels these days. And the location is not great for walking about. But for a couple of days luxury hotel break, it is hard to beat.

I stayed at this hotel for roughly two weeks while in Prague for business in the Fall of 2007. The lobby area is absolutely lovely, although not intimidating. The staff were friendly and helpful and the concierge staff could arrnage anything like tours, cars, tickets, etc., at a moments notice. My room was lovely bright and large with beautiful large windows and an ornate marble bathroom. Food was generally very good but expensive. Drivers that the hotel provided were always polite and professional. While not cheap, I found it certainly worth its money.

My wife and I stayed here twice. The first time was two nights in May 2007 booked through Expedia. The second time was an unplanned stay in December 2007 - our flight from Prague to Heathrow was cancelled and we stayed at out travel insurers expense. The rooms are extraordinarily comfortably furnished and a real pleasure to settle down into. The bar and library are quite initimate and well designed. As an added bonus the bar is open for drinks and snacks 24hrs. The service is nothing short of excellent. The breakfast is brilliant with a wide choice and you also get a well stocked inclusive mini-bar. Don't be put off by the location out of the centre. A short tram ride or modest walk has you right back in the centre of things. The location in Vinohrady is primarily residential but there are many many places close by where you can eat and drink well for a fraction of the price you would pay in the centre and it's a very quiet neighbourhood. No street noise here. There is a stunning view from the terrace and a creditable fine dining restaurant. Le Palais deserves its high rating.

Here's the lowdown: 10 minutes brisk walk to the tram and 2 or three stops away to the main attractions which is another 15 minutes. It's in the newer part of town, therefore really not much to see. Beautiful hotel with great furnishings but unfortunately, they assigned me a handicapped capable room which is not to my liking due to very high toilet and no bath tub, I hit myself in the head with the plastic handicap chair when I picked up the soap since there's no place to put it. When I asked to be moved, I was assigned a box room with another wall to look at the window. Please avoid Room 410, I had no other choice since I was told they are fully booked. The hotel has overpriced and mediocre breakfast selections for 18 Euros. There are a lot of better selection in the area. I don't understand why this hotel cannot provide free internet or at least a reasonable pricing- 10 Euros for WIFI in the lobby or 24 Euros per day in your room. Also, BEWARE of sleazy cab drivers, better to make arrangements with the hotel even if you're overcharged a bit. We visited three cities-Budapest, Vienna and Prague being the last one, it's the prettiest city but it comes with all the tourist traps. Overall, it was a so so experience at this hotel.
