Building and Heritage
The hotel building is UNESCO-protected and features an original 14th-century roof truss and preserved wall around the entrance.

“Moments from the Old Town Square, this property provides a truly historic experience. Its location within a UNESCO-listed building adds considerable charm. I think the family-friendly environment and on-site restaurant, complete with Gothic arches, make it a standout choice in Prague.”
