Hotel berhampiran Botanická zahrada - Pokladna Jih, Prague

Booked via Booking.com a couple of weeks before we made the trip. It's in a fairly quiet area of Prague. Only a ten minute walk to the old town and a five minute walk to Florenc underground station. There are plenty of places to eat and drink nearby, so it's ideal for a short stay. The staff are the real stars of the Embassy Hotel. They speak very good English, knowledgeable and they are keen to go the extra mile. Checking in was easy and our room was spacious and clean. The bathroom was also a good size. I managed to get the temperature of the room down to a more comfortable setting, using the manual mode on the AC. There was a wide range of food for breakfast, including several granolas, meusli, porridge, fruit, cold meats and cooked food. There is only one lift that serves the six floors, but we never had to wait more than a couple of minutes to use it. The only minor issues were a low battery in the room safe, which was quickly dealt with, one blown bulb in the ceiling lamp and a broken sink plug open/close mechanism. The latter two would have been an irritation on a longer stay and should really have been picked up on a room inspection. That aside, we had a very pleasant stay indeed.

A friend I spent 4 nights at this hotel whilst visiting another friend and seeing the sights in Prague. In terms of location, the hotel is a little out of the main centre (15 min walk approx). However it still feels very central due to how large Prague is and sprawls out. The hotel is not dated but doesn’t seem particularly modern either. It has a very simplistic feel. Staff are polite in the reception upon arrival. It has a very small lobby area with seating, vending machines and toilets hidden away. This area could get crowded easily. The rooms themselves are basic. They are clean and tidy, have decent beds, a small desk and a wardrobe. Numerous charging sockets are available which is nice and there is a TV. Unfortunately, there is no safe or mini fridge which did feel like a small hindrance. The bathroom is not spacious but is once again clean and tidy. Towels are replenished daily and small toiletries are provided. The hotel offers breakfast which was included within our booking. The breakfast is very basic. Cereals, fruit, yoghurt, ham, cheese and some boiled eggs is all it has to offer. However, the coffee and drinks machines were in good working order and the staff worked hard. Overall, this hotel offers a simple, easy and affordable stay in Prague. You get what you pay for but I was satisfied with the overall value. The additions of a safe, mini fridge and a more comprehensive breakfast would pay dividends though.

Fantastic hotel, in a great location with a very helpful and attentive staff and excellent offering. Our room was very modern, spacious, clean and had all the amenities you would need for your stay (coffee machine, kettle, fridge, dishwasher there is an oven as well but we didn't use it). Breakfast - beautifully laid out buffet bar offering warm and cold selection with an excellent choice for any dietary requirements; fresh ingredients, lovely local breads, fruit, pastry, freshly made omelettes - very tasty. Staff - Reception - young, welcoming, attentive, helpful - just great :-) Bar - Mr. Jan - absolute star who makes the best cocktail - if you like espresso martini - go for The Julius cocktail - it's just perfect after all day walking around Prague. Jan was super friendly, professional, no matter how big or small our bar order was. He kept the table always nice, tidy and his attentive service was very appreciated. Breakfast staff - team of buzzy Bees - making your stay wonderful, caring, taking care of the breakfast bar looking tidy and in order Cleaning ladies - kept our room nice, tidy and fresh. All we can say is - we had a fantastic stay and when back in Prague, we will be looking to stay at the Julius again. The hotel is very well placed, not too far from the local attractions and it always welcomes you back after a long day of exploring. Thank you again :-)!

This place is just dirty. The carpet flooring is thin and shaggy. The bathrooms are tiny––there is no storage for any toiletries so you basically need to keep everything in your bag. There was mold in the bathroom near the shower area on the ceiling. The shower head was dirty. When I arrived, the exhaust fan in the bathroom was making a hissing noise, so I decided to take a look at it. I unscrewed the front cover, and it railed thick dust all over the bathroom. The cleanliness is really disappointing, especially when a lot of these issues could be fixed with more thorough cleaning and some preventative maintenance. Other than that, the rooms are small. The twin beds in the rooms are so close, it may as well be one bed. The cabinets and shelving are built in, and they make the room feel really cramped. Overall, the whole place is pretty bad. Nothing about it is pleasing or enjoyable, and the pool comes at an extra fee. The place earns an extra star because the location is great, and it provides a great jumping off point to see the beautiful city of Prague. I've stayed at a lot of hotels in a lot of different countries. I'd say this is the worst one I've seen. I'm sure you can find a fairly comparable place that actually cleans their rooms.

Looked at a few hotels and initially booked one that was twice the price of this one. So glad I changed my location. Its a quick 10 minute tram ride into central Praha which is the best way to get around. Breakfast was a typical continental affair, hotdog style sausage was the only meat available, lots of cakes and breads, cereals, fruit, and salad. Not a massive choice but enough to get a filling start to the day. There is not a great deal of things to do or see around the location, so be prepared to hop on a tram to sight see, there is quite a large shopping complex about 10 minutes walk away. Room was fresh and clean and was very good value.

I had the pleasure of staying at this fantastic hotel. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted by a professional and friendly staff, they were providing me with valuable information about the local area and suggesting great places to visit. One of the highlights of my stay was the hotel bar, where I enjoyed delicious coffee. I was also impressed by the cleanliness of the rooms. I look forward to returning in the future. :-)

Would recommend this hotel, it’s clean, functional comfortable rooms and in a good location. We also had an unexpectedly great view from our room on the sixth floor!! Myself and my partner walked from this hotel to the old town, across Charles bridge and into lesser town quite easily from here so was a good base. Check in and out easy. There is a lovely garden to sit in which is a lovely touch! The reason for 4 rather than 5 starts is the shower pressure was very very low in the mornings, but was fine in the evenings and the breakfast was very basic. However would stay here again for a good priced but nice stay in a good location in Prague :)

Hotel is very nice, however there are a few points worth to mention: * Concierge. Overall great experience, however one of the concierge team members (lady) had a Ukrainian flag on her name tag, which supposedly should mean that she should speak Ukrainian, when we started to speak Ukrainian, she was replying in russian! We do not want to be communicated in russian language, we did not pay to stay at the hotel to hear Russian when we did not ask for it! Very upsetting that you hire people without a knowledge and just put random flags instead of them speaking the language. *** Please explain to the staff that it is important to reply in the language in which customer is communicating or at least in English. Thank you 🙏🏻 * Service during the breakfast and housekeeping. All the kitchen, service and housekeeping teams were super friendly, very nice 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Special thanks to Roxolana & Halyna Pashinska for their incredible personal touch. * Hotel Room The room was clean, however had this horrible smell from the bathroom canalization. Each time we had to open the windows to be able to stay in the room. We were a bit busy and didn’t have time to deal with the room changes, however please do something about it. It is very very bad. * Food. Food is great, however we stayed since July 23d until August 6th and we could not eat the breakfast anymore, it is not changing at all 😅. If we knew we would book the rooms without breakfast and eat elsewhere. Water. There was no water in the room, which is a bit different from other hotels we stayed at. I hope this comments will help you to improve the experience of your guests.

We liked the stay at the hotel in general, we were very lucky that it was not very hot in Prague, since the hotel did not have air conditioning. On the plus side, the location of the hotel was quite convenient, there were metro and trams nearby, there were delicious breakfasts and spacious, clean rooms, the guys and I were delighted, the cool guy Anuar always smiled at the reception and we even invited him to drink beer with us, but unfortunately he did not agree ((( Helped me find the club we were looking for and suggested the way to the main attractions, I rate the hotel 5

We stayed for 3 nights, 4 days. Our reason for staying was that we were attending Lewis Capaldi at the O2 (just opposite!) Prior to arrival, I had asked if they offered anything additional for my partner’s birthday. I received an email back quite promptly that I could purchase a bottle of bubbles or a cheesecake. I opted for the bubbles and asked for this to be in the room on arrival. Before we arrived, we received a notification through the Bonvoy app that our room was ready. On arrival, this was not the case. We waited for an additional 20 minutes or so, and the reception staff were very friendly and went through the city map with us. The room was spacious enough, and included a nice welcome message - though my partners birthday was not mentioned (something we had in previously hotels - so maybe something to consider?) Unfortunately the bottle of bubbles was not in the room, which was a little disappointing. Reception kindly allowed me to borrow a EUxUK adaptor. Once I had got back to the room, a member of reception had bought the bottle up. However, I was not there which ruined the surprise and whole reason I had done it. We decided to eat at the hotel restaurant. The food was okay, but the service was poor and inattentive. Before the concert, we had asked about access. We were told the hotel had a special entrance, and we’re given the necessary stickers to gain access - something we should’ve been asked & given on check-in? After the concert, we returned for a few drinks in the bar. The bar appeared to have a mixture of guests and non-guests, which was perfectly fine. However, the service was very poor. The bartenders prioritised Czech nationals and females, rather than adopting a ‘who’s next’ approach. This was also clear when table service was given to native Czechs, and not ourselves. The beds were pretty hard, though I would put this down to them being new and unavoidable. All in all, I would return if I were to be visiting a concert back to the O2. The hotel is outside of the city, but the metro is only 12 minutes away - the metro is incredibly good and extremely easy to use so this posed no issue at all.
