Miss Sophie's Hotel is a mid-range boutique hotel with stylish, shabby-chic decor and few on-site features. However, it's associated directly with Miss Sophie's Hostel across the street, which offers 24-hour reception and a 24-hour bar with a spacious hangout spot, cafe-like atmosphere, and daily buffet breakfast (extra fee). Miss Sophie's 16 rooms on the hotel-side are small (but quite stylish) with flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, coffee and tea facilities, AC, and free Wi-Fi. En-suite bathrooms are tiny and contemporary with rainfall showerheads and heated towel racks. The nearby Boutique Hotel Seven Days has more property features -- like a restaurant, small fitness area, and a spa -- though it also has dated decor.
Scene
Shabby-chic boutique hotel with sister hostel right across the street
Miss Sophie's Hotel is a boutique property situated in a beautiful 19th century Art Nouveau building. The stylish property features a bright coral and cream-colored facade, finished with elegant details like decorative cornices and triangular window caps. This hotel is part of a family of Bohemian hotels and hostels in Prague and has close ties with Miss Sophie's Hostel located right across the street. Decor here is shabby chic with a fresh, modern air that pairs well with vintage and reclaimed accents. In the hotel's small lobby, exposed cement floors, light and dark gray color-blocked walls, and yellow accents add a little flair. Creative decor includes a half-table and chair mounted directly to the wall that's used as shelving for books, brochures, and travel guides; an oblong vintage brass mirror; and repurposed oversized brass pendant lights. The property is popular with couples and small groups as well as guests who want private accommodations while still being able to take advantage of the social hostel atmosphere across the street.
Location
In New Town, a 10-minute walk from Wenceslas Square
Miss Sophie's Hotel is situated on a fairly quiet side street on the edge of New Town. While not as popular a tourist destination as central Old Town or historic Lesser Town, New Town is an up-and-coming spot with bars, restaurants, and antique shops. Wenceslas Square and the Czech National Museum are a 10-minute walk from the hotel, while Old Town Square is 20-minutes and Charles Bridges is 25 minute's on foot and 20 minutes via public transport. The main rail station is 20 minutes away via public transportation, while Prague's Václav Havel Airport is about 50 minutes from the hotel via public transport. The hotel can arrange for airport transfers (for an extra fee) and offers discounts with a nearby parking garage.
Rooms
Stylish rooms with mini-fridges, electric kettles, and tiny bathrooms
Miss Sophie's Hotel has 16 stylish, shabby-chic rooms arranged as doubles, twins, and triples, all featuring the same decor, wood floors, gray and white color-blocked walls, and hanging pendant lights. Artsy accents are crafted from reclaimed objects, elegant empty frames hang on the walls, and the bed's distressed headboards solidify the rooms' shabby-chic vibe. Rooms are small, but designed and laid out well. Bathrooms are tiny but equally chic with concrete floors and walls, painted accents, and wet-room-style showers with huge rainfall showerheads. All rooms come with toiletries, hairdryers, coffee and tea facilities, mini-fridges, safes, and small work desks. Free Wi-Fi and 19-inch flat-screen TVs also come standard. Rooms are air-conditioned and fairly quiet, though light sleepers may want to avoid street-facing rooms.
Features
Few on-site features, but access to hostel features across the street
Miss Sophie's Hotel has few extra property features other than its tiny lobby, small courtyard, and free Wi-Fi. However, guests have access to the public spaces at Miss Sophie's Hostel, located just across the street. At the hostel, guests can use the 24-hour reception area or drink and dine at the 24-hour cafe-style bar, Sophie's Bar. The bar also serves a daily cold breakfast buffet with additional hot items, both available to hotel guests for a fee.
