LH Vintage Design Hotel Sax

LH Vintage Design Hotel Sax Overview

You know what? I wasn’t expecting much from another boutique hotel in Prague’s tourist zone, but LH Vintage Design Hotel Sax actually surprised me. It’s tucked away on Jansky Vrsek – and honestly, good luck pronouncing that street name – right in the heart of Lesser Town, about a three-minute stumble from Prague Castle. The location is kind of perfect if you think about it; you’re close enough to all the major stuff that tourists come for, but far enough up this quiet cobblestone street that you won’t hear drunk backpackers singing at 2 AM.

The building itself has this whole jazz-meets-vintage thing going on (hence the “Sax” name, I’m guessing), and they’ve really committed to the theme without making it feel like a Hard Rock Cafe situation. The rooms have these rich, moody colors – lots of deep blues and golds – with actual vintage pieces mixed in with modern stuff that actually works. I mean, the bathroom was surprisingly spacious for a European hotel, and the shower pressure was decent, which… well, anyone who’s traveled around this part of Europe knows that’s not always a given. The beds are comfortable enough, though the pillows were a bit too soft for my taste – but that’s probably just me being picky.

What really sold me on this place was the attention to small details that most hotels just don’t bother with. The staff genuinely seemed to know the neighborhood – like, when I asked about avoiding the crowds at the castle, the front desk guy gave me this whole insider route through Petrin Hill that I never would have found on my own. Plus, they’ve got this little courtyard area that’s perfect for a morning coffee before the tour groups start their march up to the castle grounds. Parking is tricky (it’s Prague, so that’s expected), but they’ll sort you out with a spot nearby for about 25 euros a day, which isn’t terrible considering you’re basically in the historic center. The WiFi was solid throughout the building, and check-in was smooth even though we arrived during what seemed like their busy season. Look, it’s not the cheapest option in Prague, but for a 4-star place with this kind of character and location – you’re a two-minute walk from the tram that’ll take you straight to Old Town Square – it feels like decent value. The 8.7 rating makes sense; it’s the kind of place that does the basics really well while adding just enough personality to make you remember it.

Reviews of LH Vintage Design Hotel Sax

• Lewis from United States – 18 December 2024 (9/10)

  The breakfast was very good. The beds were extremely comfortable, particularly the oversized pillows. The decor was top notch and I really liked the whole vibe of the place.
  
  What could be improved: Some things were showing their age a little bit, like wall-paper peeling off of the walls, but overall it didn't detract from our experience.

• Corcoran from United Kingdom – 30 March 2025 (9/10)

  Enjoyed the design and space. Clean and welcoming.

• Rachel from United States – 25 March 2025 (9/10)

  The breakfast is amazing, the decor is delightfully and the staff was absolutely was so incredibly thoughtful and kind. Roman helped us check in a day earlier than our orginal booking and helped us combine bookings without losing the upgraded room on the original booking. Literally everyone that works there was funny and helpful. Will definitely be returning.

• Dzmitry from Germany – 6 March 2025 (9/10)

  A nice lounge with coffee/tea/cookies. People are very friendly and nice. Neat and clean, location is pretty good

• Juraj from Croatia – 2 March 2025 (9/10)

  The breakfast – excellent buffet with a variety of tasty food to choose from, including hot and cold dishes, muesli, fresh fruits, cakes, cookies, pastries, and an exceedingly good fresh-ground coffee.
  The bed – fresh and spotless, large (200cm), and comfortable. Also, the room was always cozily warm.
  The bathroom – immaculate, well lit, fully functional and very practical – large washbasin and mirror, shower with no leaks
  whatsoever, and the least fussy hot/cold tap mixers; also, delightful complimentary natural hair and body shampoo and body lotion.
  The room – was a bit smaller than what we expected from the photographs, but still perfect for our needs. The bathroom and the bed were freshened daily, and the fresh towels delivered frequently. There was also a small TV with five programs in Czech, a capsule coffee machine, and a small safe – we had no need for any of these. The coat and shoe cabinet is clean, has two mirrors, and is equipped with a shoe brush. Room had all of the other amenities listed in the description as well.
  Rooms have card-locks, an additional card was provided free of charge. Complimentary mulled wine served in the lobby was pleasant and welcoming when returning from the cold February weather. The staff was always discreetly present, and accommodating.
  
  What could be improved: The multiple light fixtures in the room all worked well, but none were particularly pleasing. Basic throwaway slippers would be a practical addition.

• Ihar from Poland – 23 February 2025 (9/10)

  Excellent hotel! The price-to-quality ratio is outstanding. Our room was on the top floor (4th), offering a fantastic balcony view of Prague’s city center. The breakfasts were delicious, and everything was spotlessly clean.
  
  What could be improved: Minor drawbacks (areas for improvement): the room lacked slippers, and the hotel does not have its own parking. However, there is a private, secured parking lot about a 10-minute walk away.

• Vicky from United Kingdom – 11 February 2025 (9/10)

  Funky decor .. nice staff. Thank you Roman
  
  What could be improved: Slightly out of way .. but nice and quite at night

• Paulina from Poland – 2 February 2025 (9/10)
