Botanique Hotel Prague

Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about Botanique Hotel Prague? The location on Sokolovská actually puts you in this sweet spot where you’re close enough to everything but far enough away from the tourist chaos that swallows up Old Town. I mean, you’re basically in Karlín, which honestly feels like Prague’s best-kept secret – it’s where locals actually hang out and grab coffee without dodging selfie sticks every five minutes.

The hotel itself has this boutique vibe that doesn’t try too hard, if that makes sense. It’s a solid 4-star property, but what really gets me is how they’ve nailed the details that matter when you’re actually living somewhere for a few days. The rooms are thoughtfully designed – not just Instagram-pretty, but actually functional. Good lighting for reading, proper outlets where you need them, and the beds are genuinely comfortable (I’m picky about this stuff). The bathrooms have that rainfall shower situation that actually works, unlike some places where it’s all style and no water pressure.

What I love about staying here is you’re a quick tram ride from the center, but you can also just walk along the Vltava – there’s this nice path that takes you toward the city center, and honestly, it’s one of my favorite ways to start the morning. The neighborhood has some excellent coffee spots that locals frequent, and you’ll find way better prices than anything in the tourist zones. Plus, if you’re into the whole foodie scene, Karlín has been quietly becoming Prague’s culinary district – there are some incredible restaurants within walking distance that most visitors never discover because they’re too busy hunting down the same old spots everyone talks about.

The staff here actually seems to know Prague beyond the standard tourist recommendations, which is refreshing. When I asked about where to find good Czech beer that wasn’t touristy, they pointed me toward a pub about ten minutes away that I never would have found otherwise. Check-in was smooth, none of that stiff formality you sometimes get at boutique places. The 9.2 rating makes total sense when you experience it – it’s not trying to be the fanciest place in Prague, but everything just works the way it should. The Wi-Fi is solid (important if you’re working), the neighborhood is quiet enough for good sleep, and you’re positioned perfectly to explore Prague like someone who actually lives here rather than just passing through with a guidebook.

  Perfect breakfast, good location.

• Richard from United Kingdom – 29 March 2025 (9/10)

  Fantastic hotel, just a short – 10 minutes – walk to the heart of the old town. All the staff we engaged with were very professional and friendly. Breakfast was wonderful, with a great selection of hot and cold food. We particularly liked the daily smoothie (apart from the carrot). We had a meal in the bistro one evening and it was good quality food at a reasonable price. It was my birthday whilst we were there and a bottle of brut was left for us… a lovely touch. just one thing that would have made the stay perfect would have been a softer mattress; being English we didn’t complain!

• Adam from Slovakia – 24 March 2025 (9/10)
