Boutique hotel tucked below Prague Castle with beautiful views
Narrow alleyways with cobblestone streets lead to the Golden Well’s entrance, which is somewhat hidden below white archways. Once housing the private residence of the Emperor Rudolph II, the hotel has wooden staircases, tapestry rugs, and eclectic homey furniture that create a charming ambience. A stone terrace wraps around the corner of the hotel, with sleek rattan seating under umbrellas that offers views of an immaculate green courtyard. The hotel has a small restaurant, with elegant lighting and rich leather chairs, with views of the City of 100 Spires. In the summer, guests have direct access to the Royal Gardens of Prague Castle through a private gate.
Location
Next to Prague Castle, and 12-minute walk to the Charles Bridge
Golden Well is somewhat hidden, located below the walls of Prague Castle in the Mala Strana District on the left bank. It’s within a 12-minute walk of the Charles Bridge, and the city’s Town Square, with its famous Astronomical Clock, is within a 15-minute bus ride. The airport is about a half-hour drive away. Expect to pay for parking on-site.
Rooms
Beautiful rooms with hard-wood floors and pretty bedding
Rooms at the Golden Well are classic, with such homey touches as potted plants and pretty floral bedding. Some rooms have exposed wooden beams, adding to the rustic vibe. Rooms have modern amenities, including iPads and Apple TVs, through which guests can tap videos and music from their iTunes accounts, and free Wi-Fi. Minibars are well stocked with cold drinks and snacks, and all rooms have espresso machines. Bathrooms come with shower/tub combos, makeup mirrors, robes and slippers, and Molton Brown toiletries, but some rooms are on the small side.
Features
Free breakfast buffet of cheese and pastries, with coffee or tea, outdoor terrace, and a restaurant
A free breakfast of pastries, cheeses, and coffee or tea is available at the Golden Well. The hotel's restaurant serves such dishes as Roasted Rack of Fallow Deer and Roasted Duck Liver Terrine. The restaurant has an outdoor terrace -- with heaters -- and spectacular views of Prague rooftops. A private gate leads to the Royal Garden of Prague Castle in the summer. There’s an Internet corner with a laptop and printer available for guests’ use, and free Wi-Fi throughout the property. The bar offers limited edition cognac, including the Remy Martin Louis XIII Fortress label, and the staff has been specifically trained to handle this precious liquid.
