Hotel Taurus

Absolutely horrible hotel which is not even good to be a 2 star and claims to be a 4 star. What a pity. Not sure if there is governing body in Czech Republic which rates hotels. Broken furniture, torned chair covers, broken and dirty electric kettle, refrigerator in minibar doesn’t work.

The hotel was close to the city, staff was friendly, everything was very clean, and the breakfast buffet was superb. All for a very reasonable price.

Good location: two minutes walk to metro and in 5 minutes you are in Prague downtown. Friendly personal, good breakfast.

I needed a quick place to stay for one night in Prague and I chose Hotel Taurus because they have transfer service from the airport. I received an email from the hotel prior to my arrival and I replied with my flight information to organize the transport from the airport. My flight was delayed and I didn't see the taxi when I came out. I called the hotel and told them I was about 30 minutes late. They called the driver and he arrived immediately. I didn't have local currency yet but he accepted 28 EUR for the ride, which is also the price quote on the website. The front desk is staffed at all times. I filled out the registration form and emailed it back before my arrival but he couldn't find it so I filled it out again during check in. He led me to the hallway where my room is. They use real keys instead of card keys for the rooms. The room is comfortable without many frills. There are small bottles of soap and bar soap, even though there are also pump dispensers of soap by the sink and in the shower. The TV has an abundance of channels. The toilet is wrapped with a band that says it has been disinfected. There is an automatic light in the doorway that goes on when you walk by. It also went on a couple of times during the night when all the lights were off and I was in bed. The breakfast features a fair spread of bread, cold cuts, warm food, cereal, coffee and juice. There is also a grocery store very close by. The front desk staff is very nice and helpful.

Great clean hotel! Very cute

needs some upgrades with the doors and the windows as well as the carpeting. everything else was great

Great staffs with central Location. Only thing missing is the room was muggy and humid

Staff was friendly and helpful with letting me check in early after a long bus ride. They also called and set me up with a tour. Breakfast was also good and included in the price. However, besides the staff and breakfast, my stay was very disappointing. First of all it was extremely hot in the room, so hot that I barely slept while staying there. I knew there was no A/C, but they also do not provide a fan for you. Since I had to keep the window open to try and get some air flow into the room, I had to hear the loud noises from the apartment building that is right outside my window. I heard televisions, children screaming and some hammering noise that lasted throughout the night. Also, they advertised that there is an elevator, and there is one there, but it does not access all of the hotel. So for my room, I had to lug all of m luggage up 5 flights of stairs, in the extreme heat. It was also quite far away from many of the sights, so I had to take an Uber. I would not recommend this hotel.

There was not enough toilet supplies considering that it is four star hotel.

I picked the Hotel Taurus as the base for my four night stay because it was near an event I was going to and also fairly close to where a friend of mine lived who I was going to be spending time with while I was in Prague. I asked for a room away from the road and was given one although a room right beside the car park on ground level was not what I had in mind. I didn't mind not having a view but I could not leave the window open without being there otherwise anyone could have entered the room. I didn't take advantage of the free breakfast every day but when I did it was good, sometimes things took a while to be replenished if they ran out though. And the number of tables isn't really adequate for the number of guests, it was always very busy and not always easy to find a table. There were some sofas by reception but it is a shame the hotel didn't have a proper bar area as it would have been nice to grab a drink and relax when getting back to the hotel rather than just going straight back to my room. The hotel has a tram stop and a metro station a couple of minutes away so is very convenient for public transport and there are a number of shops and restaurants nearby. I don't consider it a 4 star hotel though, not compared to other 4 star hotels I have stayed in before but it wouldn't stop me considering it the next time I am in the area.
