About

The King Charles

The King Charles Hotel sits on Uvoz 4 in Prague 1, the district that holds most of the city's medieval core. The Charles Bridge and Prague Castle are within easy walking distance, and the cultural venues of the Old Town are a short stroll away. The hotel is 20 km from Vaclav Havel Prague airport, with paid airport shuttle and car hire available on site.

The property pairs a period atmosphere with practical comforts: a lift in an old building, soundproofed rooms, tea and coffee facilities, and modern bathrooms. Rooms come in several configurations, including a Junior Suite with a fireplace. The 4-star hotel scores strongly with guests for its rooms and service, and its breakfast buffet draws repeated praise.
