Frommer's Review

Sometimes a location this good means a hotel that falls well short of expectations and value, but the Hotel U Prince, directly across from the Astronomical Clock in Old Town Square, has reformed itself into a worthy choice in the upper price range. A complete reconstruction of the 12th-century building has given its once ragged rooms and salons a new lease on life. They are pretty spacious and equipped with heavy period furniture, including beds with soft mattresses. The bathrooms offer tub/shower combinations. The double glazing has locked out most of the constant buzz from the square below. Colleagues of ours who stayed there said they were able to hear the tinkle of the clock's hourly bell, but it was faint enough to be soothing. Rooms in the back are even more secluded. However, the showstopper of this property is the roof terrace bar and restaurant, which offers exceptional views for dining in Prague during the high season.

Facilities:
2 restaurants, including 1 rooftop restaurant open year-round; bar; summer garden; 24-hr. room service

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
