Koruna Hotel

•Rooms are unbearably hot- no fans or aircon •Uncomfortable beds •Maintenance been carried out early morning so even if you want to try and get some sleep on your uncomfortable bed the chances are extremely slim when all you can hear is the sound of a hammer •Booked a room with a double bed and got given a room with two single beds •In no way is this hotel value for money

I purposedly stayed for 1 day in Prague while coming back to Portugal from a month in Poland. Therefore, I booked a single night in Hotel Koruna. Starting with the pros: Everything was clean and tidy, the receptionist was helpful and nice and the location is really great. Regarding the cons: The room had bad sound isolation and I found it to be very hot (August), the lack of air conditioning made the difference. Overall my experience was nice and I would recommend the Hotel if you are on transit between cities/countries.

This us only a 3 for the fantastic location. The hotel itself is a 2 at best. The location is fantastic with a short walk to Charles Bridge, Astronomical Clock, Wenceslas Square and the Franz Kafka head. It's also close to the trams that take you to the castle and the metro. It was great and allowed us to return to the hotel in the day to rest before venturing back out. Our stay didn't start off well. Initially we were rushed getting to the hotel from the airport, due to strikes in France our flight was delayed and the hotel had been ringing us while in the airplane saying we had until 5pm to check-in or we'd be classed as late arrivals. We landed at 5:30pm. Unbeknown to us the reception desk closes at 3pm daily and they only kept it open until 5pm for us; the website we booked on claimed the reception desk was manned until 9pm. When we eventually arrived it was like an escape room, a lock box to get into the two front doors then a safe to get the room key. The pictures online are severely outdated. Inside it was just white sheets on broken beds. Rusty nails stuck out of the skirting boards that were hanging off the wall and the laminate flooring was lifted off the floor. We couldn't complain to staff because they weren't there. A thick layer of dust covered most furniture with a previous guests cigarettes found under the bed, great. We had a broken TV and Kettle. There were only 2 working power outlets. The windows let in all the street noise so we didn't get a great quality of sleep. There was also a University bar nearby where all students would block the street and smoke in large groups, as non-smokers it made stepping out of the hotel an unpleasant experience with breathing in large clouds of cigarette smoke. We paid for breakfast upon booking; hotel doesn't have a restaurant. We asked for extra pillows; hotel didn't have any. We asked for tea, coffee and milk for our room; hotel doesn't stock any. The hotel gave us a 10% voucher to a pub nearby that promised food; the pub didn't serve food. There was no housekeeping every day. Wet towels were left on the bathroom floor for 3 days before staff came to clean it. When our beds were changed the sheets were stained. We were left with dirty mugs for the tea and coffee we had to buy ourselves for the entire duration of the stay. It was as though this hotel is on the verge of closing and management had given up maintaining it. Very run down and staff were rarely seen. I wouldn't return.

The rooms were very clean and warm. The staff was always kind and friendly. The position of the hotel is really nice because it is close to the most of the sightseeing. The only flaw was that the mattress were really hard and the pillows too soft.

Personale estremamente gentile e disponibile, stanza in ordine e pulita e posizione ottima. La portineria chiude verso sera ma viene detto subito all'arrivo e si viene forniti della chiave per entrare ugualmente, per cui nessun problema.

Esperienza pessima sotto tutti i punti di vista: accoglienza, dotazione delle camere, kit per la toilette. Il bagno era cieco e maleodorante. Unica nota positiva, non di poco conto, la posizione: ideale per raggiungere a piedi qualunque punto del centro città, compresa Malastrana.
