Jungmann is an upper-middle-range boutique hotel near the bottom of Wenceslas Square and on the border of the Old Town. This location is, arguably, its chief asset, but the 12 contemporary rooms -- all clean-lined, well-appointed options equipped with air-conditioning, minibars, flat-screen satellite TVs and free-Wi-Fi -- have their own appeal. On-site, guests also have access to a cute cafe/bar, a vaulted breakfast room where a free buffet is served daily, plus a tiny rooftop terrace offering camera-ready views. The lack of any fitness or business facilities, though, may be a deal breaker for some. If you’d prefer a hotel with more in-house amenities, consider the three-pearl Rott or Roma instead.
