Review of Grand Hotel Bohemia 5*

My wife and I stayed at the Grand Hotel Bohemia for a week in early July 2017. I need to be clear, that we didn't stay in the hotel proper. The hotel owns some apartments that are position just over the road from the main hotel building, and we stayed in one of those. The apartments are fully self-contained with full kitchen and laundry facilities provided. The rooms are new and pretty big by European standards. The rooms are serviced only once per week, which was fine by us, … but it's important to realise that these apartments are not going to be serviced every day. I believe that you can request more frequent servicing, but that this costs extra. One the plus side, everything in the apartment was new and in good working condition. Wifi was free, easy, and fast. The apartment is superbly located within walking distance of almost all of Prague's main attractions, including Wenceslas Square, and the Old Town Square. I also walked to both Prague Castle and Petrin Hill from the apartment, but that took a little longer. Residents at the apartment can make use of the hotel facilities. The breakfast at this hotel is excellent, offering both buffet and a la carte options. Staff at the hotel are young, helpful, friendly, and speak English well. I felt that the rate was reasonable, given the position of the hotel, and comparable rates throughout the city. On the downside, the apartments are not air conditioned. As with a lot of accommodation in Europe, it was superbly set up to keep you warm, but hopeless at keeping you cool, and we were there on some pretty warm days. The bedroom is small (although the bed itself if comfortable), and there is limited storage space. Also, the downside of being so centrally located is that tribes of young folk would regularly walk past our window in the small hours making one hell of a racket! That's not the hotel's fault, of course, but it's worth taking note of. Finally, you only get one set of keys, which can be inconvenient when you are heading off in different directions. With these caveats in mind, I would encourage you to consider the Grand Hotel Bohemia on your next visit to Prague.
