Questenberg Hotel

Questenberg Hotel Overview

Look, I’ve stayed in a lot of Prague hotels, and honestly? The Questenberg surprised me in the best way. It’s tucked away on Uvoz street – which, if you know Prague at all, is this winding little road that snakes up toward the castle. Most tourists never even notice it exists, but that’s exactly why this place works so well.

The building itself has this understated elegance that feels very Prague, you know? Not trying too hard to be boutique-y, but clearly someone put thought into every detail. When I first walked in, the lobby had this warm, lived-in feeling – like staying at a well-traveled friend’s place rather than some corporate chain. The staff actually seemed to remember my name after day one, which… well, that doesn’t happen often these days. Check-in was smooth, though I did have to wait about ten minutes because the woman ahead of me was asking detailed questions about every restaurant in Malá Strana (fair enough, honestly).

What really got me was the location – I mean, you’re literally a five-minute walk from Prague Castle, but you’re also far enough from the tourist chaos that you can actually sleep at night. Uvoz street is residential, so it gets properly quiet after about 9 PM. During the day, you’ll hear the occasional tram rumbling down the hill, but it’s more charming than annoying. And here’s something the booking sites don’t tell you – there’s this incredible little wine bar called Klášterní Šenk just two blocks down that serves natural wines and stays open late. The hotel concierge mentioned it casually, like it was no big deal, but it ended up being one of my favorite discoveries.

The rooms are what you’d expect from a solid 4-star – comfortable beds, decent bathroom, everything works. Nothing revolutionary, but honestly refreshing after some of the “design hotels” I’ve stayed in where form completely trumps function. The windows are thick enough that street noise isn’t an issue, and if you get a room facing the right direction, you’ll catch glimpses of the castle towers through the trees. Fair warning though – this isn’t a place with a gym or spa or any of that stuff. It’s more about location and that feeling of staying somewhere that gets Prague right.

Parking can be tricky since it’s an old neighborhood with narrow streets, but there’s a garage about three blocks away, and the hotel staff will sort you out with directions. I walked everywhere anyway – you’re close enough to Wenceslas Square that it’s a pleasant 15-minute stroll, and the Lesser Town is right there. Plus, being up the hill means you’ll work off all that goulash and beer without really trying.

The 9.2 rating makes sense to me. It’s not flashy or Instagram-perfect, but it does exactly what a good hotel should do – gives you a comfortable base in a fantastic location without any drama. If you want to feel like you’re actually staying in Prague rather than some international bubble, this is your spot.

Reviews of Questenberg Hotel

• Liliya from Germany – 28 November 2024 (10/10)

  Very nice hotel, super quiet and clean – I slept like a baby. Great professional, polite and helpful staff. Also a charming view of the old town. Will definitely stay at this hotel again!

• William from United Kingdom – 29 March 2025 (10/10)

  Really lovely and helpful staff, great location away from the hustle and bustle of central Prague- a little solace as befitting it's belonging to the Monastery! Great housekeeping and generously-sized rooms.

• Tony from United Kingdom – 28 March 2025 (9/10)

  A lovely, well kept hotel located close to Prague castle in a quiet district. Charles Bridge is a 15 minute walk away or you can catch a 22 tram from the stop that’s only 2 minutes from the Hotel. Friendly and helpful staff – we had a great stay. Highly recommended.

• Efrat from Israel – 28 March 2025 (9/10)

  I loved the location which is not in the middle of the hustle and bustle of the city, but it is only a 10 min easy rolling down the hill stroll to get to Lesser town and Charles bridge. Every morning we chose a different beautiful path. On the way back we took tram 22 which is 2 min walk from the hotel. The hotel is in an historical 1620 building and has lots of character. Rooms had beautiful beams and were very comfortable and very clean and we slept very well. Breakfast was great- you have an amazing view from the dining room, and you choose your breakfast from a menu and also have a buffet that you use. Very delicious. Staff were lovely and helpful at the reception and dining room.
  
  What could be improved: Toiletries weren't filled automatically every day in the room and with a long problematic hair like mine, one bottle wasn't enough for 2 days so I had to ask for it twice in our 4 days of satys, but got it with no problem.

• Lily from United States – 13 March 2025 (10/10)

  The hotel sits high on the hill, close to Prague Catle and in the middle of a very busy touristy area. But, at the same time, it faces a monastery and a big park and it is alway easy to find a quiet moment there and to escape the touristy route. Loved the well-preserved historic nature of the building. Special thaks to Ivan at the reception. His help and advice enhances our stay in Prague
  
  What could be improved: Breakfast closes at 10:30 and the selection could be better. But the view from the breakfast room is magnificent.

  The location is really good if you want to be near the castle. The staff were friendly. I was cold and asked for an extra duvet and they supplied one.
