Mamaison Hotel Riverside Prague

Mamaison Hotel Riverside Prague Overview

Look, I’ve stayed at a lot of five-star places in Prague, but Mamaison Hotel Riverside actually feels like someone put thought into it rather than just checking luxury boxes. The building sits right on Janáčkovo nábreží – which honestly, most tourists can’t even pronounce – but that’s exactly why it works. You’re literally on the Vltava riverbank, and I mean *on* it, not three blocks away like some places claim.

The thing that got me right away was walking into the lobby and realizing they kept the original Art Nouveau details from when this was apparently some kind of important building back in the day. The staff mentioned it during check-in (which was refreshingly quick, by the way), but you can see it in the moldings and the way the staircase curves. They’ve done this interesting thing where modern meets old Prague without looking like a design magazine threw up everywhere. My room had these massive windows facing the water – and you know what, you can actually open them, which seems rare these days. The sound of the river is subtle but constant, sort of like white noise that actually helps you sleep instead of keeping you awake.

What I really appreciate is the location itself. You’re in Smíchov, which means you’re not dealing with the absolute chaos of Old Town (though it’s a pleasant 15-minute walk across Jiráskův Bridge if you want the tourist stuff), but you’re also not stuck in some business district where everything closes at 6 PM. There’s this great little market area just a few minutes up the street, and the tram stop is close enough that you can hear it but not so close that it wakes you up. Parking was actually manageable too – they have their own garage, which in Prague is basically a miracle. The 8.5 rating makes sense when you consider that this isn’t trying to be flashy or Instagram-perfect; it’s just genuinely comfortable and well-run. The breakfast was better than expected (actual local pastries, not just international hotel food), and the staff seemed to know the neighborhood well enough to give real recommendations rather than just pointing you toward the nearest tourist trap. Honestly, if you want to feel like you’re staying somewhere with character rather than just another luxury chain, this place gets it right.

• Carina from Netherlands – 31 December 2024 (8/10)

  We had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The cleanliness and overall atmosphere were excellent. The breakfast was nice!
  A special mention goes to Jana at the reception—she was incredibly kind, welcoming, and helpful throughout our stay, making the experience even better.
  
  What could be improved: The breakfast was diverse, offering a wide selection of options; however, it leaned toward pork-based items, so keep that in mind if you have dietary restrictions.
  
  One thing to note is that the hotel does not have a restaurant for dining beyond breakfast, which could be inconvenient if you’re looking to eat on-site later in the day.
