I've just returned from a five night stay at the Cloister Inn with my seven year old son, my brother and his gilfriend. Prague itself has a beautiful centre - very historic and with extensive medieval architecture, and I was expecting the hotel to also look much like this. This was my only (small) disappointment. The hotel is quite plain, but very clean. I stayed in a twin room with en suite bathroom that could have been in any city in the world. However, what made my stay was the location of the hotel. It is very close to all the major attractions (10 minutes walk to the Astronomical Clock, the Charles Bridge, Wenceslas Square etc), and that's walking with a small child. Breakfast consisted of cereal (two choices), yogurt, breads, frankfurt sausages, boiled eggs, fruit, cheese, cold meat (mostly pork). There was also coffee, hot chocolate, fruit juice, jans and cheese or chocolate spread. Although not extensive, it covered most needs. I was so glad we went for 5 nights - it meant that not only could we do several tours (the Bone Chapel at Kutna Hora/Sedlec is one my son will talk of forever I think!! - the chapel is made completely of human bones), but we could also take it easy and walk around at a more relaxed pace when we needed to. The hotel is located on a small cobbled side street. There is a restaurant opposite, and a couple of very small bars further down the road. The hotel can arrange transfers from the airport for you at extra cost. So, to sum up, although the hotel itself is not particularly architecturely charming, the rooms are clean, the breakfast adequate and the location excellent. I would definitely stay here again.

We (ages 75 and 55) stayed at the Cloister Inn in two single rooms Inn for 7 nights in mid June 07. We very much enjoyed our stay. The hotel is comfortable, is on a quiet street and is very well placed for tourist Prague. The staff were friendly, efficient and spoke good English. We booked over the internet ([--]). The single rooms were smallish but adequate, very clean with a nice bathroom (shower but no bath). There is a lift. The rooms were quiet with quadruple glazing. Small TV had CNN in English. Air conditioning was handy. Our rooms had no mini-bar I’m pleased to say. The breakfast was good with fresh ingredients. Eggs and frankfurters were available as well as the usual cold meats, cheese, yogurts, cereal, fruit etc. Free tea and coffee together with an internet terminal are available all day in the lobby. The hotel doesn’t have a restaurant but this doesn’t matter because within 50yds in one direction is the excellent Stoletti restaurant and 50 yds in the other direction is a nice café (Paneria) which is useful for coffee and snacks. As well as the Stoletti, we had enjoyable meals at Café Louvre and Café Slavia close by on the main thoroughfare (Narodni trida) and also the Kogo italian restaurant on Havelska. There is small daily market on Havelska and a Tescos supermarket on Narodni trida. We did a lot of walking but also used the efficient metro and trams quite a bit. We bought the 7 day transport card for 280Kc from the Mustek metro. We went an a day trip to Cesky Krumlov and a half day trip to Kutna Hora using Gray Line. Both trips were good. There are lots of concerts in churches and the major auditoria but be aware they are relatively expensive at 600-1000Kc for a short one hour concert. Overall we found Prague to be a beautiful and enjoyable city. Yes, we would definitely stay at the Cloister Inn again.

Hi, We booked this place on the BA website as there was a deal on and after reading the reviews was looking forward to it. The location of this hotel is very good, the decor is ok,staff are very pleasent and the breakfast is ok. The biggest was problem we had was when we arived. We got put in a room that had clearly just been vacated by dirty, horrible, smokers...I told them I didn't want this before I went but obviously didn't consider my request. We complained and got moved to three other rooms that had a disguting stench of the worst habbit known to man. It was clear they didn't have a non smoking room so we went for the least disgusting one and spent the 5/6 nights with the windows open. If it wasn't so well rated then I wouldn't have had the expectations that clearly your gonna have when it's rated 20 out of over 200 but they were genuine issues and to have a room and was polluted with such a filthy habit did annoy me. But hey, I'd stay there again but on the agreement we could stay in a non smokers room so be aware... Great location, would recommend and if I could suggest one thing....don't allow them to put you in the old building, it really is a walk away from the main receeption and breakfast area and the the building and room is really dated...think it's an adjoining building!! If I could recomment a hotel...go for the Rokoko!

Our room wasn't air conditioned, but it was very large, spotless and the bathroom was pristine. We found the staff very helpful. Breakfast was excellent. It's a very quiet hotel with quiet time from 10pm every evening! We loved it and would return. Excellent value.

We visited Cloister Inn, situated in the heart of the city centre, from 3 – 6 June 2008. The hotel offers 75 double / twin rooms. Recently refurbished hotel lobby welcomes you with free coffee/tea and free internet access (although you often have to take your place in queue). The hotel is situated in an old monastry but completely renovated and the rooms have all the facilities of a modern hotel, except that the hotel is unappropriate for physically handicapped people due to the several (short) stairs you have to take before reaching your room. Moreover it is a very safe hotel, you cannot go in without the use of an electronic key. We booked 2 twin rooms (208 and 206), which are rather spacious and spotlessly clean as is the bathroom. The bathroom is rather small, but has a very good shower. There is only liquid soap. The rooms have double windows which make them sufficiently sound-proofed. The beds are very comfy; perhaps for some people a little bit narrow. Besides the TV there is a working table and a very good working fridge. The four drinks the latter contains are on the house! There is strikingly much light in the room. The only Real problem is the noise of the airconditioning. Even earplugs do not reduce it sufficiently. Hot/cold breakfast buffet is really good and abundant. Staff is very kind and profes-sional. We booked through the Dutch branche of Ebookers and paid 104.00 euro per night per room. The hotel is absolutely very recommendable.

We have just come back from staying in the Closier Inn (after reading the excellent reviews on this site) and to be honest there isn't anything to say that hasn't already been said... the hotel is very clean and secure, it's in an excellent location (5 mins walk from Charles Bridge, the staff are very friendly and the breakfast is excellent. I would recommend this hotel to anyone.

Friend and I stayed at the Cloister Inn for three nights 17-20 September. Booked through Hotel Connect who were efficient and reasonable. Agree with other visitors - fantastic location. Everything nearer than we imagined from the map. We walked up to the Castle area - twice in fact by different routes. It was dark when we arrived and we did not realise how close we were to Charles Bridge until the next morning. We ate at the Don Giovanni who were open late and it is perhaps expensive for Prague but we were glad to get a meal at 11 p.m. Agree the Cafe Slavia is excellent if you can get a window seat to watch the world go by. The Stoleti restaurant recommended by the hotel is also good and we enjoyed Club Architektu in Bethlehem Square, also very close. Over the bridge we ate outside Kampa 14 by the river. We also enjoyed the beer halls and tried the dark beer. We took the funicular up to the Petrin Tower - well worth the trip, and further to an earlier correspondent the 20kc is a 90 minute transfer ticket and does both ways and perhaps a tram as well! Hotel very clean and bright. Staff very helpful. Tea and coffee in reception useful, and I took my kettle for the room! Beds quite narrow but we did not find the room noisy. In fact a very quiet street. Bathroom very modern and clean and plenty of shelves etc. Shower so good I did not miss my soak in bath. If you like a bar and a bit of life in the hotel this is not the place for you but with so many places round about -"Pappas" for cocktails and U Medvidku on Na Perstyne for beer for example who needs it!
