The Charles Hotel is in Lesser Quarter (Mala Strana), near the Vltava river. It is 100 meters from Charles Bridge and a short walk from Prague Castle, the Royal Gardens, St Nicholas Cathedral, Old Town Square, Jewish Town, and Petrin Hill. The hotel is part of the Royal Road, leading to Prague Castle through the Powder Tower, Wenceslas Square, and across Charles Bridge. The building is on Josefska 1/42 street and is known as the 'House at the Golden Eagle' and 'The House at the 3 Lambs.
Building's Historical Details
The building dates back to 1857, with features of Late Gothic, Renaissance, and Neo-baroque styles. Original elements include a stoned staircase, wooden parquets, painted beam ceilings, doors, and wall paintings. The entire building is under the protection of the memorial office as part of the Czech National Heritage. The first recorded purchase of the house was in 1408. Remains of a previous rampart are preserved in the basement, approximately 4 meters deep.

“Staying near the Charles Bridge has distinct advantages, and this seems a reliable choice, given the consistently positive experiences reported. The decor leans toward a more traditional style, with rich breakfast selections noted as a highlight. For travellers who appreciate attentive service and a central base, it merits consideration.”
