La Fenice

Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about La Fenice? The way it sits on Vinohradska Street like it actually belongs there – not trying too hard to scream “tourist hotel” at every passerby. I mean, you’re in Vinohrady, which honestly feels more like where Praguers actually live rather than that gorgeous but slightly overwhelming Old Town chaos. The trams rumble by pretty regularly (lines 11 and 16 are your friends here), but it’s not that jarring city noise – more like a gentle reminder that you’re connected to everything without being drowning in it.

The thing about this place is that it gets the details right in ways that surprised me. Check-in was refreshingly human – no robotic efficiency, just people who seemed to actually know their neighborhood and weren’t just reciting scripts about “Prague’s attractions.” The rooms have this sort of understated elegance that works really well; clean lines without feeling sterile, comfortable beds that don’t make you miss home too much. What I really appreciated was how quiet it gets at night, even with Vinohradska being a fairly busy street. They’ve clearly thought about soundproofing, which… honestly, you don’t realize how much you need that until you’re trying to sleep in a city you’re not used to.

Here’s what I wish someone had told me before I stayed there – you’re about a 10-minute walk to Náměstí Míru (Peace Square), which has this lovely church and some cafés that aren’t completely overrun with tour groups. The real gem though is how easy it is to hop on the metro at Muzeum station; you can be in Wenceslas Square in maybe 5 minutes, but when you come back to the hotel, you’re stepping into a completely different rhythm. Vinohrady has these tree-lined streets and local pubs where you’ll hear more Czech than English, which – let’s be honest – makes you feel like you’re experiencing something more authentic than just hitting the major sights. The breakfast at La Fenice is solid without being fancy; good coffee, fresh bread, enough variety that you’re not bored after a few days. Nothing revolutionary, but it does the job well. I’d definitely stay here again, especially if I wanted to feel connected to Prague without being in the thick of the tourist circus every single moment.

Reviews

• Fiona from Switzerland – 18 December 2024 (9/10)

  The location is very central, situated on the metro A line that brings one inner city in 2/3 stops. The staff are all super nice and friendly!

• Nickgrey from Greece – 31 March 2025 (9/10)

  The hotel is located in the beautiful area of Jiřího z Poděbrad, which is between Žižkov and Vinohrady. The area is quiet but full of great non-touristic restaurants and bars, away from the touristic bubble that exists in the city center. The hotel could be a little outdated design-wise for some people, yet it has all the amenities you'd possibly ask for, for this convenient price. The staff was very friendly as well. Lastly, the hotel is very close to the city center, about 10-20 minutes walking depending on your pace. If walking is not your thing, there's the metro station very close to the hotel which can take you directly to Wenceslas Square.
  
  What could be improved: Overal, I don't have any complains. I'd recommend some needed updates on the equipment within the rooms and bathrooms. Also, the hotel needs a little renovation, it looks like a hotel you'd find in the 90s, but it has its charm 🙂

  Great location and easy to get to center. Breakfast was great.

• Dave from United Kingdom – 27 March 2025 (9/10)

  Superb location. It is an interesting suburb with gardens, bars, restaurants, and some unique buildings. It has charm. It is next door to trams and the metro for easy access to the city centre though it can be walked in 30 minutes through some pleasant streets. Big rooms, great view, warm and clean. Staff were very very helpful. Fantastic value
  
  What could be improved: No complaints

• I from Taiwan – 23 March 2025 (8/10)

  Quite Comfortable
  We have stayed in Prague for 5 days.
  The first place is near Praha 1.
  Then Le Fennice is the 2nd.
  This hotel is the last place and gives us a comfortable night , hot water.
  Sleep so well
  Also supermarket,department store just 15-20min walk.
  The staff were so lovely and nice attitude.
  
  What could be improved: The space for open suitcases is small.
  But it is ok to us for staying one day.

• Henrico from Brazil – 23 March 2025 (9/10)

  The room is perfect for a staying. The bathroom is huge (really) and the bed was really comfortable. Staff is very helpful, the room was very clean and the room was cozy and warm during a really cold weather. The hotel is easy to find (it's a beautiful yellow building) and easy to reach from airport/downtown by metro/tram, so it's easy to go to places from there as well.
  
  What could be improved: The hotel is a little bit far from downtown/activities, but there is tram and metro nearby so it's not a big deal. It's a little bit tricky to find cheap places to eat nearby as well and staff (even though was absolutely helpful) sent us to some really expensive options (40 euros a meal, common bro…), but you can find cheaper options nearby… just not many.
  Our room did not have many electric outlets and we had a lot of phone charging to do, so… be ready for that.
