Occidental Praha

Hotel Description

You know what? The Occidental Praha surprised me, and I mean that in the best way possible. It’s tucked away on Na Strži street in what locals call Nusle – honestly, I’d never heard of this neighborhood before booking, but it turned out to be one of those happy accidents that make travel interesting. The area feels properly residential, like actual Czechs live here, which is refreshing when you’re tired of bumping into tour groups every five minutes.

The hotel itself has this understated thing going on that I really appreciated. Nothing flashy or trying too hard, just solid four-star comfort that actually delivers on its promises. My room was spacious enough that I wasn’t playing Tetris with my luggage, and the bathroom – well, let’s just say I’ve stayed at supposedly fancier places where the shower was basically a closet with a drain. Here, you can actually turn around without elbowing the wall. The staff at check-in were genuinely helpful too, not just going through the motions. They gave me actual directions to places, not just “turn left and walk” but proper landmarks and which tram stops to use.

What really sold me on this place was how it sits in the city. Sure, you’re not stumbling out the front door onto Wenceslas Square, but honestly? That’s a feature, not a bug. The tram connections are fantastic – you can get to Old Town in about fifteen minutes, and there’s something satisfying about riding the tram back “home” after a long day of sightseeing. Plus, there’s a proper Czech pub just down the street where locals actually drink (I mean locals locals, not the “local experience” kind), and a small grocery store that saved me from hotel minibar prices more than once. The neighborhood gets quiet at night, which means you’ll actually sleep instead of listening to drunk tourists singing under your window at 2 AM. During the day, you get these glimpses of regular Prague life – people walking their dogs, kids heading to school, that sort of thing that reminds you there’s a real city beyond the tourist bubble. I’d definitely stay here again, especially knowing what I know now about getting around from this spot.

Travelers should reserve a hotel in Prague at least two months ahead of their visit to ensure availability and secure better rates, especially during the peak summer season when the city hosts numerous cultural festivals and outdoor concerts.

  What could be improved: Popular for group tourists
  Soundproof was poor

• Emília from Slovakia – 13 September 2024 (9/10)

  Everything was perfect, breakfast was lovely and tasty with more than enough options every day, I definitely recommend! Best breakfast I’ve experienced so far! Lovely view from the window as well!
  
  What could be improved: There was a problem with WiFi in our room (couldn’t connect at all), after reporting it the issue got solved quickly but still the connection/internet speed was quite low (but still rather sufficient for watching online streaming services) 🙂

• Rpav from Poland – 14 August 2024 (9/10)

  Clean, modern and well-furnished hotel room. Everything you need to stay and work. There was a sudden need to replace some installations in my, which (kind of) disrupted my stay, but the staff was very nice and helpful and gave an upgrade to better room to compensate the inconvenience. Very appreciate that!
  
  What could be improved: Wi-Fi didn't work well and it was hard to connect and do my work activities. But maybe that was just for that one day.

• Marius from Germany – 16 July 2024 (9/10)

  The room was ok. The breakfast was huge. The location is close to the metro.
  Room service came every day. They provided all necessary amenities.
  The receptionist spoke Spanish and English.
  
  What could be improved: Only minor things, like that daily room service didn't empty the trash buckets. The trash bucket in the bathroom wouldn't open and had no plastic bag.
