Alchymist Grand Hotel and Spa - Preferred Hotels & Resorts

This is a great hotel in a fantastic location in the lesser town which is a 5 min walk from Charles bridge so handily placed for the livelier parts of Prague. The service was excellent with Prosecco included as part of your breakfast and complimentary cheese wine at 4:30 for 30mins. The spa is excellent and good way to relax following a day of exploring the city. I would highly recommend this hotel.

Great staff. Met expectations plus more. Great safety around area due to nearby embassies

We stayed here 10 years ago and decided that, as we needed a few days of luxury, to go back. Almost nothing had changed in that time. The hotel is still quintessentially elegant with fabulous staff who go out of their way to make you feel welcome and are unfailingly both friendly and very helpful dealing with every request promptly. The hotel is in a superb location, down a secluded and quiet cul de sac, very secure because of the constant police presence due to the nearby American Embassy, and yet only a few minutes walk to the castle or Charles Bridge taking you to the city centre. They very kindly upgraded our room and we had fabulous views over the city. Prague is a wonderful city for a short city break. The highlight of our stay was a night at the Opera House, absolutely superb production of La Boheme. To eat out try the nearby U Glaubicu, fantastic atmosphere, great choice of food and very good value.

We liked the warm welcoming gestures from staff, a welcoming drink, a nice smile, and a beautiful quiet background music. People that works on this hotel are very nice and helpful. We received a complimentary bottle of delicious wine and chocolate as for our wedding anniversary. We didn't like the first room it was too small for us, but we were offered other options. The second room that we got was very spacious with lots of natural light but no views other than the sky :( We understand that there were no other rooms available and appreciate the help we got from the staff and manager. Beds and pillows definitelly need to be upgraded. No premium bedding as we know it. Breakfast is monotonous, it becomes annoying to go get breakfast, every morning is the same food and you are not offered other options unless you pay extra -after paying for included breakfast :( How hard is to make two fried eggs? or two eggs benedito? Yet, those are not included in the menu unless you pay extra and they are expensive. One thing that puzzled us, we have to sign an empty receipt every morning that showed nothing other that a line for a tip. We had the feeling that we were being pressured to leave a tip every single morning for a breakfast buffet that you help yourself with. We thought that the only reason to sign that receipt was just to ask for the tip of an already paid breakfast buffet should be optional according to the service you get. We recommend this hotel and hope to come back soo
