Loreta Hotel

Hotel Description

You know what? I walked past the Loreta Hotel probably fifty times before I actually noticed it tucked into that little corner of Loretánské náměstí. It’s honestly one of those places that feels like a well-kept secret, even though it’s sitting right there next to one of Prague’s most stunning baroque complexes. The building itself has this understated charm – none of the flashy signage you see around Wenceslas Square, just a quiet confidence that comes from being in the right spot.

What really gets me about this place is how it manages to feel both intimate and substantial at the same time. The 9.3 rating isn’t some fluke – I mean, you’re literally steps away from the Loreta sanctuary, and I’m talking like thirty seconds of walking. Most tourists are so focused on getting to the castle that they completely miss this little pocket of Hradčany, which honestly works in your favor because mornings here are incredibly peaceful. You can actually hear the bells from the Loreta tower, and there’s something pretty magical about that when you’re having your coffee. The staff clearly knows the neighborhood inside and out – they’ll point you toward the back streets that connect to Pohořelec if you want to avoid the castle crowds, or steer you to that little wine bar on Úvoz that doesn’t show up in guidebooks.

The three-star rating is sort of perfect because it sets realistic expectations, but then the place quietly exceeds them in ways that matter. The rooms aren’t trying to be fancy, but they’re thoughtfully done with good beds and proper blackout curtains (crucial if you’re jet-lagged). Parking is actually manageable in this area – there’s usually space on the streets around Loretánská, though you’ll want to check the signs because some spots are resident-only. What I really appreciate is how the hotel sits in this residential part of Hradčany, so evenings are genuinely quiet once the day-trippers head back down the hill. You’re close enough to walk to all the major sights, but far enough from the tourist chaos to actually get some rest. It’s the kind of place where you start to feel like you’re staying in Prague rather than just visiting it.

Many travelers prefer to book apartments in Prague through local agencies that offer personalized recommendations and insider knowledge about the best neighborhoods for exploring the city’s rich medieval heritage.

Reviews

• Lisa from Canada – 14 October 2024 (10/10)

  Very good location in old town, very close to Prague Castle and a 10 min walk to public transportation. The staff was very kind and we have no complaints

• Sarah from Germany – 26 March 2025 (10/10)

  -Absolutely outstanding service! Everyone was so nice and helpful
  -Perfect breakfast in wonderful atmosphere
  -The location! Quick to get to the city centre on foot or by tram, but also very quiet at night
  -I loved the beds! Never had a better sleep in a hotel. Great mattress and a selection of pillows, that I'm tempted to ask for where they buy them
  
  What could be improved: It would be nice to have electrical outlets next to the bed, but that's all

• Paul from United Kingdom – 24 March 2025 (8/10)

  Perfect location. Quirky characterful building. Quiet whilst being so accessible. Beautiful bedroom ceiling.
  
  What could be improved: Replenishing bottled water daily would have been nice.

• Karen from United Kingdom – 21 February 2025 (10/10)

  Charming, beautiful, friendly, welcoming, warm and wonderful! We absolutely loved the history oozing from this place and would recommend to anyone especially history buffs who would adore the charm and authenticity of the place!
  
  What could be improved: All fabulous!

• Lauer from United States – 30 January 2025 (10/10)

  Loreta location was perfect for us. It was a quiet street near the castle and the beauty of Castle Hill. We appreciated our hosts' helpfulness and the lovely breakfasts in the dining room. The room was very charming with the painted ceiling and furnishings. An in room safe and refrigerator was a plus. The heated towel bar in the bathroom was also a nice touch.
  
  What could be improved: A simple side table or shelf in the bathroom would've been handy for keeping personal items, make up etc handy since there is space available. We initially were unsure where the front door of the hotel was. Signage or written directions could be helpful. We did appreciate the security of the hotel after figuring this part out.

• Despoina from United Kingdom – 24 January 2025 (10/10)

  Everything was perfect . There are ten private Rooms within a courtyard which was an old monastery. Staff are always helpful, kind. There is always fresh water and goodies available for clients after the reception closes in the hallway. The hotel is located close to the castle. There are buses and tram stops very near if you don’t like walking up the cobbled streets of Prague. We will definitely stay again. Thank you for everything. If felt like home and it had everything you needed.
  
  What could be improved: Everything was perfect.

• Fiona from Australia – 20 January 2025 (9/10)

  Fabulous location, great breakfast & beautiful room.
  
  What could be improved: Small room for 3 of us but appreciate this is due to the nature of the building.

• Ward from Qatar – 14 January 2025 (10/10)

  Warm welcome, cosy, good location, great breakfast. Cute and quiet, solo ensuite room with private entrance facing the garden, warm and clean. Comfortable bed and hot shower. Great location for visiting Christmas markets and other points of interest.
  
  What could be improved: The walk back up the streets to the hotel is a steep climb but very rewarding when you reach the top and interesting shops/boutiques and refreshments along the way.

• Marcela from Brazil – 12 January 2025 (10/10)

  Everything!
  
  What could be improved: The lack of blackout courtains

• Benjamin from Hong Kong – 3 January 2025 (9/10)

  Loved it. It’s a historic property and so is quite special. The location is fabulous, only a 15-min walk to Lesser Town. We stayed on the other side of the river the first few days, so the combination of locations was good. Breakfast is tasty and feels more like a large B&B than a hotel, which we liked. It was -2 degrees when we stayed and I expected an old hotel like this to be cold at night. But in the end we were very warm.
  
  What could be improved: A very small thing. The automatic light sensors don’t always turn on when leaving some of the rooms where there’s a steep step in front of the door. We were fine but I was nervous about missing the step!
