Made up of 150 rooms, the mid-range Iris Hotel Eden offers a contemporary stay connected directly to the Eden Arena. Rooms are simple, with flat-screen TVs, kettles, and minibars, plus some offer fantastic views of the stadium so guests can watch games in comfort and privacy. However, the area is far from central -- it's a 20-minute drive to the Old Town and other tourist sites -- but there’s a shopping mall and dining options nearby, plus it’s decently connected by public transportation. While the hotel bills itself as upscale, it lacks a gym, pool, or spa, but it does have a restaurant, breakfast buffet, and meeting rooms. Tourists might also want to consider fusion hotel prague, as it’s centrally located and has more stylish rooms, though rates are higher.

Scene
Contemporary hotel that's connected to the Eden Stadium and mainly attracts soccer fans
Opened in 2009, Iris Hotel Eden is directly connected to the Eden Stadium, making it a gem for soccer fans of Slavia Prague. Rooms with direct views of the soccer green -- giving the ability to watch games in privacy and comfort -- make for a particularly top-notch experience for fans. Despite these perks, this self-proclaimed upscale property falls short of a four-pearl status, lacking the amenities, ambiance, and style standard to this category, so guests expecting a more high-end experience will be let down. Decor is modern but a bit boring in some areas. Take the lobby -- it’s spacious with white tiled floors, a basic front desk, a few modern red and cream armchairs, and not much else beyond views into the breakfast area. The dining areas attempt to provide some semblance of style with wood and white tile floors, white and red mod chairs, and brown gauzy drapes to complement floor-to-ceiling windows. Overall, it’s a good place to stay and decently priced, especially for soccer fans heading to a game, and it attracts sports teams as well.
Location
Attached to the Eden Stadium and close to shopping and restaurants, but far from the city center
Though the hotel is connected to the Eden Stadium, home of the Slavia Prague team, there aren't many other attractions nearby. Eden shopping center is across the street, and there are restaurants and cafes on surrounding streets. But the city center -- where Prague's main tourist sites can be found like the Old Town, Charles Bridge, and Josefov -- is a 15- to 20-minute drive away. Travelers could also opt to take public transport to the city, as there’s a bus stop that’s a two-minute walk away and a tram stop that takes four minutes to reach on foot, giving access to the center in about a half-hour. It’s a 30-minute drive to Vaclav Havel Airport. Overall, this hotel is ideal for soccer fans attending a game, but tourists wanting to sightsee might want to look elsewhere.
Rooms
Modern rooms with flat-screen TVs, minibars, and kettles; some rooms have great views of the soccer field
Iris Hotel Eden’s 150 air-conditioned rooms are tastefully decorated in a clean, modern style, albeit a bit chain-like. The spaces feature a color scheme of warm browns and tans, with blond wooden furnishings and pops of statement colors like lime green, orange, or red. Leaf-print curtains and chair paddings as well as black-and-white photographs above the beds add a small touch of personality. All rooms have flat-screen TVs, minibars, kettles, safes, and free Wi-Fi, though it's reportedly spotty in some rooms. Upper-level rooms have separate living rooms with couches. Bathrooms are sleek with white and gray tile, showers or shower/tub combos, hairdryers, and free Dove toiletries in wall dispensers. Some rooms have direct views into the stadium, so guests could essentially watch a game from the privacy of their room. On the other hand, rooms will be subject to bothersome noise during game days -- though most guests are here to watch the teams face off.
Features
Breakfast buffet, restaurant, meeting rooms, public computer, and free Wi-Fi
For a hotel that claims to be a four-pearl property, the Iris Hotel Eden doesn’t offer too many amenities, with no pool, gym, or spa on-site (though guests can use the wellness and fitness facilities at the nearby shopping center). The hotel’s restaurant offers international and local dishes throughout the day, while the bar serves a selection of drinks. Guests can enjoy outdoor seating in the summer and limited room service. A breakfast buffet of hot and cold items is served in the mornings, and can be included in room rates. The hotel has four fully equipped meeting rooms, a computer for guest use, and free Wi-Fi throughout, though there have been complaints of poor connection in some rooms. Free street parking in front of the hotel is available, especially on game-free days, but the hotel also offers paid indoor and outdoor parking.
