Clarion Hotel Prague City

Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about the Clarion Hotel Prague City? It’s actually positioned perfectly on Tylovo náměstí – and I mean that in the best way possible. Most tourists rush straight to Old Town Square, but this little square puts you right in Vinohrady, which honestly feels more like where actual Praguers live and work. You’re maybe a 10-minute tram ride from the castle, but you can also just walk down to Wenceslas Square without breaking a sweat.

The building itself has that solid, no-nonsense vibe that works well for a 4-star place. Check-in was smooth (the desk staff actually spoke great English, which – let’s be real – isn’t always a given), and the lobby has this comfortable, lived-in feeling without being fancy or trying too hard. I stayed on the fourth floor, and here’s something I appreciated: the windows actually block out street noise pretty well. Tylovo náměstí isn’t exactly a party zone, but there’s still city life happening below, and I slept fine. The room was bigger than I expected – you can actually open your suitcase without having to climb over it, which is saying something for European hotels. The bathroom was modern enough, good water pressure, though the shower is one of those over-the-tub situations if that bothers you.

What I really liked was how the neighborhood works. There’s this excellent little café called Louvre just a few blocks away (it’s been around since 1902, apparently), and if you walk five minutes toward the National Museum, you hit some really solid restaurants that aren’t tourist traps. The hotel breakfast was… well, it’s hotel breakfast, but they had decent coffee and actual Czech pastries, not just generic croissants. Parking can be tricky around here – I mean, it’s Prague, so that’s not exactly shocking – but there are spots if you’re patient, or you can use the garage nearby for about 20 euros a day. The tram stop is literally right outside, and the green line gets you pretty much anywhere you want to go. I took it to Malá Strana one morning, and it was way easier than dealing with Old Town’s crowded streets. Staff seemed genuinely helpful when I asked about restaurant recommendations, and they pointed me toward places in the neighborhood rather than just the obvious tourist spots. That 8.4 rating makes sense to me – it’s not going to blow your mind, but everything works the way it should, the location is genuinely useful, and you’re not paying premium prices to be steps from the Astronomical Clock with all the chaos that brings.

• Ella from United Kingdom – 16 July 2024 (9/10)

  The staff were very friendly and helpful. The property was also in a great area with lots around, including easy ways into the main areas.
  
  What could be improved: The shower only pointed horizontal and couldn’t be adjusted, therefor we couldn’t have a proper shower; we had to hold it, instead of standing under it.

• Aleksandra from Poland – 20 June 2024 (9/10)

  Great location. Within a walk from the historical center. Lots of nice cafes in the vicinity if you choose against having breakfast at the hotel.
  
  What could be improved: Parking was a bit problematic because we had to park at a sister hotel and walk to our location. The parking spot wasn't cheap either, even considering Prague pricey standards.

• Tosunoğlu from Germany – 1 April 2024 (9/10)

  The hotel and the location was great. It was really close to public transport. Even if it’s located at Prague2 zone, it’s just next yo Prague1 zone. The staff was very kind and informative. The best advice I get from Adam was, if you stay in there at weekends, the parking places on the street in front of the hotel is free of charge and you can save tons of money over the parking 😎
  
  What could be improved: There were only small downsides. 1. The pillows were really uncomfortable. 2. For families who will sleep connected beds, there is a small risk of your “middle sleeper” can fall in between 😂
