Where to start. Stayed for 6 nights with my 12 yr old son in the attic room (size of small apartment). I live in the USA and frequent world traveler. Where I stay is equally as important as the destination. Location, cleanliness & comfort is a priority. Hotel Nerudova 211 offers low rates which made me skeptical. But has 5-star glowing reviews on all sites. So, I gave it a shot & so glad I did. Location - my uber driver said it’s the nicest street in Prague. The street is lined with small cafes, a pharmacy, chocolate, antique, perfumery & souvenir shops. I liked the “curiomat” local artist collective store. Walk to the Kostel SV Mikulase church in 2 minutes, busy shopping area & Charles Bridge in ~5 to 8 minutes, John Lennon wall & Artemis shop not far either. So many places to explore that even my son stayed entertained. Hotel - Beautiful & elegant. Meticulously cared for down to the smallest detail. It was recently renovated so new without compromising its heritage. Plenty of windows with views of rooftops & distant cathedral. We used the stairs but there is an elevator in this 4-story hotel. Room - we stayed in the unique Attic Room (apartment). A staircase greets you upon entry with bathroom to the right. Up the stairs you’ll find a foyer with small refrigerator, dishes, liquor with glasses, kettle, etc. Two rooms - one on each side both with Netflix tv and soft beds with plenty of pillows, two duvets each, rolling racks, writing table with upholstered chairs and bench area. Unlike the other rooms, our ceiling was not flat with exposed beautiful wood beams (original). I did hit my head once when acting silly but not again. I think an older couple should stay in the other rooms especially because of the stairs to restroom. My son said it was the coolest hotel room he’s ever stayed in - which was the point. Cafe - within hotel has the best coffee, pastries & sandwiches with fresh homemade bread. My son asked for extra bread to take back to the USA. Staff is friendly & ready to be at your service. Staff - maybe the most helpful & friendly I’ve experienced in a hotel or resort. They are beyond 5-stars and in a class of their own. Reception had suggestions for activities, helped us book tickets to a basketball game. Even the night manager is wonderful and daily housekeeping is superb. They arranged our car to/from hotel, tracked my flight (canceled & re-routed) and knew who to call about my lost bags :( We traveled during a strike at the airport… They also cleaned laundry and provided us with plenty of water -all complimentary. I would never dream of staying anywhere else. Love this beautiful boutique hotel & so happy I found it! - Amber & gage
