Boutique hotel in Prague

Prague is truly a city for walking. My husband and I went there for the first time in June 2014. We chose one hotel as a base from which to do some genealogical research and travel around the countryside.

We decided on Residence Agnes (Haštalská 943/19, 110 00 Praha 1, Czech Republic; phone +420 222 312 417, fax 312 840, www.residenceagnes.cz).

A letter in ITN (Nov. ’13, pg. 33) recommended this small, 22-room, boutique hotel, and we were not disappointed. For the two of us, our 9-night stay cost CZK39,607 (near $1,784).

We’ve traveled quite a bit, so we know it would be difficult to find a more wonderful place. It is owned and operated by the on-site manager, creating a family atmosphere. Breakfasts were fun to wake up to. I counted nine different fresh fruits one morning plus many other kinds of goodies.

It was clear from their demeanor that the young staff loved their jobs. I had occasion to need medical treatment due to a fall before we arrived in Prague, and the hotel provided a car and driver for each occasion.

In a beautiful city, this is truly a gem.
