Romantic nest under Prague Castle

Hotel Description

Look, I’ll be honest – when I first saw “Romantic nest under Prague Castle” I was expecting some cheesy tourist trap, but this little place on Sněmovní Street actually lives up to its name. You know that feeling when you stumble onto something that feels like a secret? That’s exactly what happened here.

The location is honestly perfect if you want to feel like you’re living in Prague rather than just visiting it. You’re literally in the shadow of the castle (and I mean that – you can see it looming above you when you step outside), but you’re tucked away on this quiet residential street that most tourists never find. Sněmovní runs parallel to the main drag, so you get all the atmosphere without the crowds trampling past your window at 6 AM. The walk to Old Town takes maybe fifteen minutes if you meander through the Lesser Quarter – and trust me, you’ll want to meander because those cobblestone streets are gorgeous, especially in the early morning when the light hits the baroque facades just right.

What really got me about this place was the attention to detail. I mean, it’s a 3-star hotel, so don’t expect marble bathrooms or a concierge, but everything feels thoughtfully done. The rooms have this cozy, almost apartment-like vibe – exposed beams, warm lighting, and windows that actually open (which sounds basic but you’d be surprised how many places seal you in). The breakfast setup is simple but they source from local bakeries, and honestly, sitting there with proper Czech pastries while planning your day beats any fancy hotel buffet. Parking can be tricky in this area – the streets are narrow and mostly permit-only – but they’ll sort you out with directions to a nearby garage if you’re driving.

Here’s what I really appreciated: the staff actually knows the neighborhood. When I asked about avoiding the tourist crowds at the castle, they didn’t just hand me a generic map – they told me about the back entrance through the gardens and mentioned that Tuesday mornings are weirdly quiet. Small things like that make all the difference. The only minor downside? The walls are a bit thin, so if you’re a light sleeper, pack earplugs. But honestly, the sounds you’ll hear are mostly just normal city life – trams in the distance, people chatting as they walk home from dinner, church bells marking the hours. It’s actually kind of charming once you settle in.

If you’re looking for a place that feels authentically Prague without breaking the bank, this is it. You’re not paying for a lobby with marble columns, but you are getting a genuine neighborhood experience in one of the most beautiful parts of the city. Plus, that 9-star rating isn’t just tourist hype – this place really does deliver on creating something special.

Reviews

• Superb – Wojciech from Poland – 12 July 2025 (9/10)

  Great localisation, just under the Prague Castle, perfect for a short weekend stay. The apartment had all needed amendments for cooking and longer stays. The most important bit after a long day sightseeing is a bed and it was very, very comfortable. The staff was very helpful, we wanted to check in earlier and it was possible free of charge, which really helped us during the first day of our stay.
  
  What could be improved: Due to the localisation in the tourist area, doing groceries and shopping requires an extra effort, but it's not an issue with the apartment itself 🙂

  The room was beautifu, clean and comfortable, very well located. I loved! The building's internal garden is charming and the place is very quiet.
  
  What could be improved: The only problem was that the bath water took a long time to drain. The drain seemed clogged.

• Highly recommend! – Rebecca from Australia – 20 March 2023 (10/10)

  it was an older style building done up nicely inside, with lovey heated floors. The room was styled beautifully, and had good cooking facilities as well. Comfortable bed, and hot shower with good water pressure. Within walking distance to public transport and main attractions in Prague, such as the Prague castle, Charles bridge. We rarely used public transport, most of the time we walked. Lots of excellent places to eat nearby, and we were provided with great food options by the host.
