Amazing rooms, wonderful pillows, very welcoming staff, breakfast was delicious with so many options. Very central to everything from the castle, to the bridge, and old town. 2 minute walk from having dinner in a 14th century "basement" at Na Pekle, a must do while here. Will be booking here again on our next trip, learned to book parking when you book the hotel. Also read the parking instructions on how to access it by car.

Was looking for a characterful place to stay in Prague and Hotel Monastery didn’t disappoint. It’s away from the hustle and bustle of Prague proper, part of the Strahon Monastery complex, which is also home to a brewery, and up on the hill overlooking the city. But with easy access to public transport links into Prague - the number 22 tram is only three minutes walk - I really couldn’t fault the location. We were lucky to get what I’m guessing is the best room in the hotel, a two level room with a brilliant view out of the side windows. Would definitely stay again.

The location and staff were excellent. Pleasant and helpful at all times. We did feel underwhelmed by the overall quality and size of our room. The overall decor was in need of refurbishment, especially the floor which we must say was a little dangerous in places. The breakfast was possibly one of the worst we have had in a long time. For the money we paid we expected much better. Would we stay here again… we would really really like to but we will be looking at other options. This place has so much potential but it very sadlyneeds improvement. When said all this it is not a bad hotel…. Just….

I had one night stay here before I left Prague to Brno. I thought the choice to stay at an unique property would be good as when I came back to Prague later I wanted something more convenient to all the attractions. Hotel Monastery hits on a corner of this stunning courtyard. It is as advertised in that it is monastic, quiet. I enjoyed my one night stay. Good breakfast. I was aware of the no elevators bit for the luggage but I accept those conditions since this converted from a monastery. I had two flights to climb every time and while not fun with luggage I survived and it was fine. But for those with mobility issues, this will not work for you.

Loved the hotel! Great view, fantastic service by the staff -- the breakfasts were the best I've ever had in any hotel, and it was very convenient to be able to exchange my money at no cost AND purchase day passes to the trams. My only regret is that there are a lot of stairs to climb (no elevator!) after walking uphill to get to the hotel in the first place. Otherwise, a perfect stay!

Quiet getaway from the throngs of tourists
This was a fabulous location for us. It's located within a 10 minute walk of the Prague castle grounds. The Strahov Monastery library is located on the premises and definitely worth a visit. There's also a couple of restaurants on the grounds that serve the monastery's beer made by the monks. The thing we liked most was that once evening hit, the crowds of tourists disappeared and the place was so very quiet. Also, the gentleman who checked us in was most kind and accommodating.

I booked a twin room for one night to stay with my 14 yr old daughter. I advised the hotel that we would be turning up after 7pm and was told that there was a remotely managed access system to enable us to gain entry to the hotel. Note, there is no reception and no service at this hotel after 7pm!!!! On arrival, the remote access facility did not work i.e. nobody in the responsible sister hotel answered. Were it not for the chance exit of another guest we would not have been able to gain entry. On the night of our arrival I attempted contact via the remote system 4 times and tried to phone the sister hotel directly six times, but there was never a response. I also emailed the hotel twice but received no reply. This was all the more problematic as we had not been given the twin room that was booked but instead a tight and most unsuitable, semi converted attic 'space'. Because the hotel is unstaffed it wasn't possible to rectify this. At least the hotel, via the helpful receptionist, admitted this was their mistake the following morning, but by then it was too late. This was most disappointing especially as the hotel is wonderfully located overlooking Prague and I think it might have been nice to stay in were it not for the serious problems with access and the allocated room. Key learning points, if you are going to stay here do not risk turning up after 7pm and confirm your room choice directly with the hotel before arrival.

The perfect hotel to stay in Prague
An amazing place to stay. Away from the hectic town centre, but in a historic place. The staff are so friendly, and the surroundings are peaceful. The Strahov library is just next door, and it is a short walk down to the castle. It is close to a stop for tram 22 which takes you to both sides of the river. It is a little hilly to get around, and the hotel has no lift. My room had a second storey with the bedroom. They do have a wheelchair lift for the ground floor rooms.

Did not realise the hotel is located in a big complex consisting of 2 excellent restaurants & the highly visited library etc. Breakfast provided was extensive & thecharming peaceful garden to sit in was wonderful. there are several routes down to the town just 10 minutes away. There is a tram stop just outside one of the routes. As there are only 12 rooms, we were lucky to be able to book one way ahead. The stay in this hotel made the time in Prague more than special.

Liked: Small room but clean. Nice breakfast. Helpful staff. Disliked: Expedia page said "Smoking/Non-smoking" which has always meant they have both types of rooms but they are entirely non-smoking on the premises; you have to go outside. Bath/shower was very slippery and I nearly fell 3 times. I told the desk staff but they need to fix that before somebody breaks a hip.

The hotel has obviously been parr of an old monastic enclave. Large rooms with high ceilings, decorative halways etc. Rooms also have modern separate toilet & shower facilities along with a room fridge, safety deposit box and daily room service. There is a breakfast room is cosey & serves a really good range to satisfy most, with coffee available all day. All the staff are so friendly & helpful, to the point that they add so much to a pleasurable experience. With great location, setting stunning views & transport links a few metres away. All in all, an absolute gem of a find. Will definitely make a return visit.
