mala strana hotel

Sorry for yet another hotel question. I like the looks of U Tri Capu in Mala Strana, found great price, but there are only four reviews so far. Wondering about the location, Tomasska, is it a hike from the river area? I know most people like the other side of the river, but I think we would prefer a quieter section, as long as public transportation is available nearby (I%26#39;m assuming the tram would be the best option). Any comments about this hotel or this area would be greatly appreciated.

It%26#39;s in the waldstein area, 200m beside charles bridge, great location, tram nearby, even metro and peb7%26#39;s favourit restaurant! the reason there%26#39;s only a few comments might be that the whole complex was under reconstruction for quite a while, i%26#39;m not even sure if it was a hotel befor. the street it%26#39;s on is busy in the day time, traffic jams during rush hour but quite in the evening. if the 4 reviews are ok and the price is ok, go ahead, you%26#39;ll be fine...

I love Mala Strana area. Personally that%26#39;s my first choice when I visit Prague. Much quieter it seems, as you said, compared to Old Town Square side. I stayed on and near Ujezd 3 times in last 6 months that is close to the funicular station to Petrin Hill. Very nice area + a junction for many tram lines, very convenient. I don%26#39;t know your hotel but near Tomassaka, there is for example Hotel Wallenstein, nearby, isn%26#39;t there? Fine location I think. No hike at all from the river side. It gets uphill only from Sv.Mikulase church on to Nerudova. Malostranske Namesti behind the church is just a few minute walk from your hotel I suppose. So many tram lines pass there.

tomasska is right by the malsontranske namesti. have a high floor room as the tri capu has a busy pub / restaurant worth going to, and try to have one with a castle view (this has the view and has the lower tram noise).





to be honest, you don%26#39;t need public transport at all. the castle is a 15 minute hike up the hill and the old town square is 20 minutes walk across the charles bridge - you can walk to almost everywhere you see.





heinokules. what is my favourite restaurant? I believe I only disclosed my favourite restaurant when it closed down earlier this year and have not knowingly disclosed as my favourite restaurant my other favourite restaurant (and sorry, never will, as I want to be able to walk in there without making a reservation 2 weeks in advance)

Thanks, Peb. Won%26#39;t you please recommend a good restaurant or two for me in that neighborhood?



Thanks!

the waldeijnska hospoda in the hotel is worth visiting. two good restaurants with river views within 5 minutes walk of the hotel are kampa park and less formal, hergetova cihelna. you should make bookings for both

I wanted to add that the group of friends I visited Prague with in June also loved this area and would choose it as a place to stay in the future.

Just back from long weekend in Prague. We stayed at Hotel Atos on Melnicka, Mala Strana. We liked staying in this area as it is quiet and not far from Old Town and Castle. There is a great Italian Restaurant on Ujzed called Amedeo. Really good food at very reasonable prices. We could walk to most places, but if you were feeling lazy the hotel could organise taxis at preset rates and the drivers were very helpful and sometimes gave you a bit of local information.
