Golden Well Hotel, Prague
Expert reviews
“Consistently rated one of Prague’s best boutique hotels, the Golden Well is hidden away at the top of a narrow side street in Malá Strana. Effectively built into the side of a hill below Prague Castle, the location affords spectacular views of the city.”
Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Prague.
“The Golden Well is one of Malá Strana’s hidden secrets, tucked away at the end of a cobbled cul-de-sac – a Renaissance house that once belonged to Emperor Rudolf II, perched on the southern slope of the castle hill.”
“With just 19 romantic rooms, the Golden Well (U Zlaté Studné) is an intimate and refined option for a memorable stay in Prague. The interior is sophisticated, there’s a seriously top-notch restaurant with stellar views over the city, and service is pristine and personal throughout.”

A very classy accomodation away from the crowds
The incredible view of Prague. Great breakfast and dinner. Wonderful location next to the Palace Gardens. Historic lodging updated to luxury standards.
Entrance a little difficult to find and access via long cobblestone walk but that was part of the charm.

Superb hotel with a world class restaurant, and the most beautiful vista of Prague.
Wonderful hotel, with excellent team in the bar and restaurant. Really knowledgeable team, with a cheerful character. We enjoyed a wonderful wine list and the standard of the food was superb, one of the best meals I have ever had was in the restaurant. When visiting Prague this is the hotel to stay!!
A couple of the reception team were not quite as cheerful as the bar/restaurant team, but that did not change our overall view on the stay.

Breakfast was amazing! The staff were all very helpful.
I wish there was a bar area to hang out in in the evening. If people were in the lounge there was no where to get together with friends.

Amazing, 5 star experience!
Everything was amazing, from staff to restaurant to the breakfast to turn down service to housekeeping, the list goes on and on. Zero complaints. It was refreshing to find a hotel that actually cares about the customers. We have traveled a lot (50 countries), and this was hands down one of my favorites! Keep up the excellent work, you guys. It definitely makes you stand out!

Exceptional service, unique rooms, excellent breakfast and restaurant, just all in all one of the best hotel stays I've ever enjoyed. From carrying bags up the street for us to arranging taxis and even making smiley face designs in the foam on our hot chocolate... supreme attention to detail and genuine hospitality.

Honestly, the VERY BEST hotel we have EVER stayed in!
From the point of arrival, through the whole of our stay, the Golden Well experience was exceptional! A delightfully individual hotel with small thoughtful touches in each of the rooms and all furnished with taste and elegance and with your comfort in mind. The food was divine and the staff from every department were friendly and gave us five star service at all times, often going above and beyond our expectations to ensure we had a wonderful stay. We would love to stay again!
I genuinely can't think of a thing to improve! A fantastic hotel.

Lovely hotel but would be better with a nice bar!
The breakfast is superb. The beds are comfortable. The bathroom is excellent. the little touches like fruit and cakes in the room are done very well and the snacks available at 4pm are also a bonus. The staff are charming and helpful
Just a couple of things.... There is no real bar area in the winter as a terrace is not available. There is nowhere to sit comfortably before dinner or going out for the night, or when you return. The restaurant is lovely but not something you would want to do every night of your stay. Somewhere less formal and more relaxed to eat would be a bonus, as we needed taxis to eat elsewhere (the streets and pavements were very icy and dangerous for walking) and this meant booking ahead. Whilst the afternoon snacks available are lovely, we found that other guests blitzed them and occupied the only seats available, so it was necessary to go back to our room.

Had a great stay. Looking forward to visiting again.
Great location. Excellent breakfast and spectacular view of the city from the restaurant. The business lounge was comfortable. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the attention to details is noticeable.
No complaints really, but the hotel is on a steep hill and takes some effort to climb from the nearest public transportation. It wasn't an issue for me and I enjoyed walking - just something to be aware of.

Excellent! Do not miss the rooftop terrace restaurant, it was super spectacular!
Amazing breakfast with so much choice! Well cooked food everyday and a huge buffet to choose from. Plus smiling, efficient waiting staff, thank you so much!
Our room was deluxe but didn't have much of a view - just rooftops and a spire in the distance. We would have liked to see more of Prague from our room.

I wished I stayed longer.
A beautiful building and area. Great breakfast, with a superb view of the city. Turndown service and a nighttime sweet delight put on a side table every night. Molton Brown amenities. Drink&snack time during the day.
My room, a deluxe double, was an attic with stairs inside at the entrance. It was not a big problem, but after walking around the city all day, it was a bit sad having to climb up the stairs after opening the door to relax in the room.

Lovely, relaxing hotel close to Old Town without being in middle of it.
Great location...5 minutes to Charles Bridge and close to everything in Old Town, yet far enough away from the crowds to enjoy a night's rest. Very accommodating staff.
The hotel advertises a complimentary happy hour snack with wine, but these things go quicky at the start of the hour, and are not replenished once consumed.

Thanks to entire stuff! Your excellent service made us feel very welcomed!
Excellent breakfast, exceptional service! Unbeatable location! Best view in town!Love everything about our stay! A lot of small details made it very personal. Cosy exclusive hotel. Thanks for having us.
The entire facility feel very special! Love it! Just the bathroom has not enough lightning to my taste and no convenient hangers to hang the towels. But that’s really nothing.

One of the most comfortable and enjoyable hotel stays of my life
Charming building and rooms were lovely with antiques and comfortable furniture with character. Breakfast was lovely and most staff are incredibly helpful and friendly. Very comfortable beds and our rooms had good air conditioning but one room had poor air conditioning. Some rooms have views but the windows are so small it isn’t worth paying for.
The restaurant is very nice and expensive and we wished there was a more casual option we would have eaten there more than one night.

A wonderfully relaxing stay in this boutique hotel in beautiful old town. Higjlu recommend if you want to treat yoursel
Fabulous location just below the Prague castle. Very well appointed boutique hotel with wonderful historical character. Five star plus in terms of facilities and service and nice change from the big central hotels. Complimentary drinks and food in the small guest lounge each late afternoon was nice to come back to after long days walking and exploring the city. Easy to walk to the Charles bridge and old/new town areas/squares. Beautiful Waldstein gardens (Senate buildings) are afew minutes walk from hotel and free to enjoy. Hotel restaurant is first class with stunning views over Prague and breakfast ( included in room rate) is superb with same views.

Overall a wonderful experience!
The breakfast and breakfast staff were great. They made us feel welcome and cared that our needs were met. The room was well appointed, comfortable, and the turn down service was exceptional.
The staff at reception could have been more knowledgeable about local recommendation and activities. Two of the receptionists merely looked up our interests on Google - I could do that and that is not what I was hoping to get from local staff.
