Alchymist Nosticova Palace

Very positive experience. Nice room, great breakfast, excellent service (thanks again Zusana), located in the old town a short walk from Charles bridge. For those looking for a European-style hotel, but with all the comforts and amenities, this is a very good choice. Love the daily wine and cheese as well. Too bad the adjacent restaurant was not open […] (under renovations until May, but there are many great restaurant choices within a 5 minute walk) Read more

Service was superb. Everyone went out of their way to help. Concierge to transportation. Had a 4am pick up and made sure we had a cab and built us a box breakfast.

Perfect small boutique hotel located just a short walk away from the hustle and bustle of Prague's City Centre. Italian owned, Old World charm, great service, in- house restaurant with option to dine outside on a warm day or evening. Beautifully decorated, high thread count sheets, lovely food. Complimentary breakfast includes hot menu choices along […] with home made pastries, fruit and cheese, granola, muesli etc. We often made it to dinner without stopping for lunch! Hotel adjacent to large Park with benches overlooking the river. Wi - Fi available and computer in the lobby free if you don't have your lap top. Friendly, personal service. Great value by American standards. Highly recommend it! Read more

Wonderful location in a part of the city that is not at all touristy but gracious and lovely. At the same time, you can walk to any of the must-see sights. The hotel booked us a great private tour and helped with our return flight during an airline strike.

We were at the Alchemist for a bit of an anniversary getaway and stayed way up on the 4th floor in a romantic gold room. It was beautiful warm sunny weather and our room was filled with light. We had a view of the cathedral of St Nicholas out the window. It is a quiet neighborhood yet full of good restaurants and fun shops. We ate one night in the hotel's […] garden restaurant which was pretty. The staff is exceptionally nice and full of good humor. We highly recommend this hotel! Read more

The Alchymist Residence is a wonderful place; a short walk from the Charles Bridge, comfy rooms and friendly staff.

Genuine Expedia guest review

My wife and I stayed for 5 nights and were very pleased with the room and hotel staff. The staff was very friendly, attentive to our needs, gave good advice, and was present in the lobby 24/7. The location is just far enough off the beaten path to be relatively quiet but close enough to be very convenient. The room and bath were impressive and beautifully […] decorated. Being on the top floor had the advantage of a skylight window with a shade that we could open to see the moon at night. (However, be aware that the top floor requires climbing 1 flight of stairs - the lift stops 1 floor below.) The west side of the Charles bridge is a 5-10 minute walk away. We enjoyed walking through Kampa Garden park along the river to go to the Charles Bridge or to go south to the area around the next bridge. There are also restaurants on either end of the park. Everything was just starting to bloom and should be gorgeous in a few weeks. Two blocks to the west is a tram stop which can be taken north to a metro station on the Green line, then take the metro to Old Town or Wenceslas square. A single ticket covers the tram and the metro. But most of the time, we just enjoyed walking everywhere throughout the city. (Bring suitable shoes.) Across the street from the tram stop is a large park on Petrin hill with a tower at the top. If you tire of walking in the city and need a little time with mother nature, this park is a good place to go. The hill is pretty steep to walk up, but you can ride to the top and walk down if you prefer. There are great views of the city throughout the park and at the top of the tower as well as at the castle. The city is beautiful, clean, and we felt safe everywhere we went. It really is magical at night with all of the buildings lit up. It is worth bringing a good camera that works well in low light if you enjoy photography. Some good spots are on Charles Bridge, in old town, or the at riverfront in Kampa garden right next to the hotel. We did not try the Read more

We had a beautiful suite with a canopy bed, a table with chairs, a classy kitchenette, and beautiful original art work on the wall. A historical gem in mint condition. This is probably the best hotel room I have ever stayed in, rivaled only by a historic hotel room that we stayed at in Florence, Italy. We were able to get this room at a decent price […] through Hotels.com the location was excellent, very near the Charles Bridge and a short walk to the Old Town Square. Enjoy your stay in Prague in luxury! Read more

This is a beautiful little hotel, very stylishly decorated. Our room was on the top floor, fairly small but very comfortable with a fine view of Prague castle. The bathroom was big, attractive and spotless. We were travelling in December so the room felt like a real haven after wandering around Prague in the cold - we actually had to turn the heating […] down quite a bit because it was so warm. The hotel is in a very quiet part of town but is 5 minutes walk (at most) from the east end of the Charles Bridge so it's an easy (and beautiful) 10-15 minutes walk to the center of the old town. It's even closer to the lesser town (Mala Strana) which is full of stunning buildings and is on the way to Prague Castle. You can also walk up Petrin Hill, which has some wonderful views over the city. It's very close to a tram line (though I think you need tickets before you get on the tram) and about 7-8 minutes from a subway station (Malostranska). The hotel has a very nice restaurant, with a stunning "mirror room"; we only tried the breakfast which was excellent (though pricey) but the menu looked impressive. What stood out most, though, was the hotel staff. My wife was quite sick during our stay and they were incredibly sympathetic and helpful, going out of their way to make us comfortable. Whenever we asked for any help they were right there and we feel really grateful for their care and support. We couldn't have asked for anything better. Read more

My husband and I stayed at the Alchymist Residence Nosticova for four wonderful nights. I loved the location as it wasn't in the middle of the hustle and bustle of Prague, but just on the edge ensuring you a restful night. The daily breakfast was simple but with just the right pastries, fruits, eggs, and wonderful coffee to get your day started. Not […] only did we hate to leave the beautiful room at checkout, but also the warm staff that stole our hearts from check in to the very end.

ARN is small and charming. Well placed near Charles Bridge and the tram, but down a very quiet side street. Rooms are large, bathroom was humongous, everything clean, gracious and charming/romantic. Nice breakfast in the downstairs restaurant, with a mix of healthy (fruits, yogurt, juices), hot (eggs/french toast/coffee) and decadent (wonderful little […] croissants; sausage; cheese). Bar was cosy and friendly. Impressive list of actors and actresses who've stayed there -- literally stars of stage and screen. Oh, and the staff was uniformly helpful, knowledgeable and friendly.

The Alchymist is top-notch hotel and meets all the criteria for a 5-star property. The location is quaint and quiet and the staff is superior. Our room was extraordinary. The trip was made even better due to the fabulous accommodations of the Alchymist hotel. Many thanks!

We stayed at Alchymist Residence from October 2 to 15 and we really enjoyed our experience there. We traveled and stayed at 5 star hotels many times in Europe and Asia, and we are so confident to say that this is the best hotel we've ever stayed. Although it is a small boutique hotel, they have the best quality room and amenities, from the most comfortable […] bed to a pair of cozy slippers. Everybody workind there were extremely friendly and tried their best they could to help us. You will never get that kind of services at big hotels. One of the girls even walked and show us a short cut to the Charles Brdige. Their warm hospitality made us feel so special and our trip the most memorable one. We also liked their location in a very quiet nighborhood, yet short walking to many restaurants, concerts, historic sites. Read more

Hotel worked well for a family. Large rooms. nice staff. Bathrooms, although large needed more counter space Hotel services were o.k. and we needed help to make some of the amenities work. Overall, we were very satisfied and had a wonderful time.

Genuine Expedia guest review

As a former business traveler that stayed in hotels 100 nights a year, it takes a good effort to impress me. This hotel is excellent, and made even better by the warmth and enthusiasm of the staff. We made a last minute reservation based on other reviews for this hotel. We arrived to find a romantic boutique hotel in a quite neighborhood right off […] the St. Charles bridge. The room was unique and very comfortable. It is an atypical hotel in that it seems more like a residence than a hotel. It doesn't have a huge inviting lobby, but several different rooms, and outdoor patios. All of them are unique anf well put together. I was more impressed by the enthusiasm and willingness of the staff. They all seemed very happy, enthusiasitic, and eager to make my stay great! In my opinion, the hotel was cool, but the warmth of the staff put it over the top! Read more

We really loved our stay at the hotel and fell in love with Prague. The room was very beautiful and included a small kitchen, the bathroom was fairly large and the furniture in the room was all very grand. The bed was also very comfortable, and the room was warm and cosy. The only slight snag we had was that the guests in the room above us were very […] very heavy footed, which was a bit annoying when we were trying to sleep..(not to hotels fault). The staff at the hotel were amazing and they did their best to make our stay very special. We were treated to coffee upon arrival and were also pleased to find a bottle of wine had been left in our room on our first evening. The location itself was perfect for us, we enjoyed walking into the city, up to the castle and we found our way around easily. To sum up we would recommend this hotel to our friends and family and would stay again if we ever return to Prague. Read more

Beautifully decorated and furnished hotel in a quiet part of town yet with easy access to Charles Bridge. Only one criticism and that is that the downstairs air-conditioning was either inadequate or set too high (warm) or did not work as the breakfast room was always too hot and humid.

Great hotel in a super location, just a few minutes from Charles Bridge but in a very quiet street with good restaurants just around the corner. Staff very helpful and friendly. We travelled with friends who had a room on the top floor with just one other room on the landing, if you could occupy both rooms with friends there is a lounge and kitchen […] which would be used exclusively by you. Nice touch was the use of pool and spa at the sister hotel, although the pool is pretty small. Complimentary cheese and wine in the afternoon a nice touch too. Read more

Excellent hotel, we had a fantastic time, it is very central, the staff is very nice and helpful. The breakfast was nice enough. We definitely recommend it. Just slight critic: be aware there are two hotels, the main one and the other one is called "Residence", so might be confusing when you book as we only realised when we got there that there was […] another hotel and the spa was actually in the main one. Not a big issue as the spa within the main hotel is only 5 minutes walk away from the residence - also the main hotel is more posh and beautiful than the residence. If the price difference is important between both (hotel and residence), then worth going for the residence as its high quality too and also gives you access to the spa. Read more

A really fantastic hotel with exceptionally friendly and helpful staff (but only if you asked them to be). Prague seemed to be filled with unbelievable numbers of tourists, particularly on Charles Bridge and the Old Town, and in the Castle area.

There were plenty […] of restaurants and bars nearby, but they weren't mobbed and crazily busy so it gets a big plus for location. Read more

Fantastic chic hotel. Attention to detail second to none. All the staff really friendly and helpful. If you like antique Italian design at it's best you will love this hotel. It's far enough away from the hustle and bustle of town but close enough to walk not missing out on any sights on the way.

This is a truly wonderful hotel. Throughout our stay the staff went to every effort to make it more enjoyable - nothing was to much trouble; but importantly at not point was the atmosphere stuffy or pretentious. A comparatively small, traditional czech hotel set in the much less touristy 'Little Quarter', The Alchymist is nonetheless luxuriously comfortable […] and perfectly situated - no more than a 5 min stroll to the Charles bridge, which crosses into the 'Old Quarter' and the majority of the major attractions. Small details, such as being happy to throw in extras without increasing charges, or remembering it was my girlfriend's birthday, meant that I continually found myself remarking how much more comfortable this stay felt over similarly holidays staying in the bigger chain hotels. All-in-all I do not have one bad word to say about this hotels. A truly enjoyable stay, exceptional staff and beautiful setting. Read more

This was our first experience of a small hotel. What an amazing experience it was! The beautiful heritage building had been lovingly restored, allowing guests to enter a magical tranquil cocoon of yesteryear. Made all the better because of their kind and caring staff. When we arrived our daughter was ill from a tummy bug she had picked up in Norway. […] The staff could not have done any more to help us make her comfortable. In the following days after our daughter recovered, our waiter Edi seemed to walk on air as he went about his business pouring coffee and bringing our cooked breakfast. The buffet breakfast was healthy and more than adequate for many different tastes. Krystyna and Adele the receptionists, with the most sparkling smiles in Prague, had their fingers on the pulse directing us to places we wanted to visit & organizing taxis and restaurant bookings. When we return to Prague we will return to this very very special hotel. Read more

Lovely hotel, although definitely for honeymooners or couples. My friend and I felt slightly out of place as two young students...

I stayed in this hotel for 4 nights in May. It is located about 10-15 min walk from George Bridge and is close to other places such as the Castle.

I have travelled in 75 countries and been to hundreds of hotels. This is my #1 favourite! The decor is amazing, like a museum or a display for an art magazine.

Originally got dropped off at the sister hotel (Alchymist Grand) and wondered about the comparison we'd make. No worries. Shown to our room on the 4th floor front (could just make out Charles Bridge tower) - wow! Full of character with biggest bathroom I've seen. All staff extremely helpful and courteous. Meal in restaurant recommended (not cheap but […] good). If you have the breakfast make sure you have the hot option as well as it's going to cost you quite a bit with or without it.

If your ideal hotel is one of the big chains with full business facilties, bars and restaurants then this isn't the place for you. If, however, you want a nice relaxed romantic hotel, in a quiet location and yet only 3-5 minutes walk away from Charles Bridge then this is the place. To me the staff at any hotel can make or break your stay and everyone […] here was friendly ( with a sense of humour ) and more to the point very efficient and good at making you feel welcome. Not everything was perfect and there were a few niggles ( toilet seat was quite wobbly and the room safe was provided but wasn't fixed to the wall or anything else ! ). But the things that were wrong were not enough to distract from everything that was right. Overall this hotel deserves the best rating and I would not hesitate to stay here again. We both had a fantastic holiday in Prague in no small part due to the choice of hotel. Read more
