Máchova

Máchova Overview

You know what struck me first about Hotel Máchova? It’s tucked away on this quiet residential street that most tourists never find, even though you’re literally a ten-minute walk from Old Town Square. I mean, Máchova street feels almost residential – there’s this lovely tree-lined stretch where you’ll see locals walking their dogs in the morning, and honestly, it’s such a relief after dealing with the crowds around Wenceslas Square all day. The building itself has that classic Prague charm without trying too hard – none of that over-the-top baroque stuff, just solid, understated elegance that actually feels authentic.

What really won me over was how the staff seemed to genuinely know Prague, not just the tourist version. The guy at reception (I think his name was Pavel?) gave me this route to Petřin Hill that avoided all the main streets, and I ended up discovering this little café near Kampa Island that I never would’ve found otherwise. The rooms are exactly what you’d expect from a solid 3-star – clean, comfortable beds, decent-sized bathrooms, though the shower pressure could be better (but honestly, that’s pretty standard for older Prague buildings). The WiFi actually works, which isn’t always a given in this city, and there’s something satisfying about opening your window in the morning to hear the trams rumbling down Újezd street instead of tour groups chattering.

Here’s the thing though – and this might matter depending on when you visit – the neighborhood gets properly quiet after 9 PM, which is either perfect if you want to crash early after walking all day, or potentially boring if you’re looking to stumble back from a late night in the beer halls. But I actually loved having that peaceful base to return to, especially during summer when the city center stays chaotic until well past midnight. The location is sneaky good too – you’re close enough to walk everywhere that matters (Petřin Park, the castle, Charles Bridge), but far enough from Pařížská street that you won’t be paying tourist prices for everything. Plus there’s a decent tram connection right there if your feet give out, and I noticed they have some kind of arrangement for parking, which is basically a miracle in this part of Prague. For the price point and that 8.5 rating, it makes total sense – it’s one of those places that doesn’t oversell itself but delivers exactly what you need.

• A pleasant hotel situated in a nicer area of Prague. – T from Czech Republic – 7 July 2025 (9/10)

  A convenient hotel with good nearby travel connections situated in one of the nicer areas of Prague. Plenty of pubs and restaurants nearby too. My room was small but adequate, with a comfortable bed, recently renovated bathroom and excellent air-conditioning that was very useful due to the heatwave. A good selection of hot and cold food and drinks at breakfast. I found all the staff welcoming, pleasant and attentive. I had two stays in quick succession here before and after a long-weekend break in the UK. My related special requests were honoured.
