Hotel Kampa (Best Western)

• February 3, 2003
• Rated 5 of 5 by Goodsvejk from Conshohocken, Pennsylvania

I have stayed in this hotel on numerous occasions. I have a special affinity for it, as it was my first accommodation, and have recommended it many times. The Best Western chain might deter some looking for the "Czech" experience, but this hotel is Best Western in name only. The street is quiet, curvy, and almost inaccesible by car, so noise is not a problem. The inside is medevial, the building was an armory in earlier days, and the rooms are just cozy enough to be worth the money.

The real treat is the location. You''re located ten minutes or closer from the Vltava river, the Charles Bridge, Old Town Square, the Castle district, and Petrin Hill. In addition, there is parking (not included) which is a godsend in Prague. Overall, the hotel is a great value. And if you''re not happy, the Best Western name will probaly make it easier to recieve some compensation.

Hotel Kampa (Best Western)

• July 5, 2002
• Rated 4 of 5 by jim from Charlotte, North Carolina

I wasn’t sure what to expect given that the Hotel Kampa was associated with Best Western. But I was very pleasantly surprised by what I found. First, the hotel is in a great part of town (Mala Strana or the Lesser Town) which is easy walking distance from all of the best sites (Charles Bridge, the Castle, Petrin Hill), but is not overrun by tourists. Plus, there is a small park behind the hotel to relax and hang out and the hotel provided some nice options for my morning runs along the water or up Petrin Hill. Second, the hotel was a lot of fun. It has been decorated in 17th Century style…meaning there is full knight’s armor, lots of wood and coats of arms, etc. There is even a dinner show with sword fighting and other medieval activities including a very worthy feast. It is a little over the top, but I thought the décor and the show gave the hotel a lot of personality. Third, the staff was amazing. They helped with every request, made great recommendations, and helped with arrangements throughout town. Finally, the room was huge! Having just come from Paris, the comparison made the room seem even larger than it was, but by any standard it was large and comfortable. The bed was a little hard…but I think that might have been fairly characteristic of Prague given my only other lodging experience in the town. All in all, this was a great place to stay in Prague and I wholeheartedly recommend it…for families and couples alike.
