Hotel At the Golden Scissors

The hotel was absolutely amazing! Staff were so nice. The room was clean and the restaurant inside the hotel was a major bonus for us traveling with a toddler! The location was perfect right off Charles Bridge and so convenient to everything !

Great building and spotlessly clean, superb location Friendly staff

The drive to the hotel in the 'Lesser Town' was - given the many tourists and school groups touring the neighborhood - somewhat unnerving as the streets with their cobblestone pavement were obviously not laid out for car traffic (and there was construction going as well. Anyway, we made it and were welcomed by excellent hosts at a location that literally is on spitting distance from the Charles Bridge. The reception desk told us that we had the best room in the hotel (#10) and that was absolutely true, spacious, clean and with an amazing view of the castle and the surrounding area. The view was the result of us being on the highest point of the building, ie under the roof, with rustic roof beams in a - what one should best describe - suite. The price to pay for this luxury was 4 staircases with the last one being more like a spiral staircase - I believe 75 stairs in total. For anyone with cardiovascular disease #10 is probably not the best choice, but if you can physically navigate this, the reward is high. The location is such that every attraction is walkable, the castle is probably a mere 20 minute walk. We parked the car in an underground parking garage at the Rudolfinum, perhaps 5-10 minutes walking from the hotel. Kafka museum around the corner, the 'Old Town' is the length of the Charles Bridge away (500 meters or 550 yards). The food that is served at the hotel is tasty but hearty, and beer is indeed cheaper than water. Book a guided tour at PragueWay, excellent.

This is a great hotel in a wonderful location! We came during the Christmas season and there was a small market right outside our door. The staff were fantastic and friendly. I would highly recommend staying here if you’re looking for a central spot not in the noisiness of city center.
