The breakfast menu was great. Lots of fresh baked breads, juices, fruits, preserves and choices of coffee. My only problem was the menu had no chicken slices. For those of us who don't eat beef or pork, it was limiting on protein other than eggs (over easy and hard boiled.) Lovely view, that was my favorite part. The room was clean but definitely needs a huge makeover, but since the view was amazing, I didn't mind. It was a bit chilly and the blankets were not enough. I'd probably still go back for the value and the view. Oh and the staff was nice even if none spoke any English but it's their country so it's only fair that I try to learn their language.

The boat is quite old and had an array of different carpets, was dusty and dirty. There was mold all over the bathroom and just not kept up to date. The experience was what we were looking for but should have probably gone with a cruise. The location was about 25 mins for the city.

The AC did not work in the room. It was so and humid that we had to wait for almost 6 hours to get in the room. They did not change the room.
We paid for parking as well which was mentioned as free n Expedia and infact was the reason for us to book the property. I usually never leave bad rating but this really disappointed me.

Located LITERALLY on the Vltava River.....
I arrived in Prague early in the evening. Even though it was like 5:30, it was dark. Upon arriving to the hotel, I walked down the gang plank (if you will), walked in, and a very nice person who spoke English helped me. Unfortunately, none of my credit cards worked with her machine, though in fairness, I did not tell my banks that I was going to the Czech Republic for the weekend.. LOL
She was very accommodating none the less. I wound up paying her in Euros, and for an extra 3 Euros, I had breakfast the following morning while looking out the window at the river and at Prague.
Did I mention the view? I took SO many photos of Prague, and a few were out the window from my "botel" room! looking at the reflection of the lights on the water of the river as it flowed by was really awesome!
I will say that it is a bit off of the beaten path, but I walked all over Prague the next day, including along the river from the Botel, and I was VERY happy to do it. The architecture, the bridges, the views of so much... I took more photos of Prague than anywhere else I have been EVER, and that is saying something!

Otele ulaşım çok kolay ve pratikti. Tren ve otobüs durağına 1 dakika yürüyüş mesafesindeydi. Kahvaltı çok taze ve çeşitliydi. Personel güleryüzlü ve yardımseverdi.
Bunun yanında yan odadakilerle karşılıklı sohbet edebilecek durumdaydık çünkü bütün konuşmalar duyuluyordu. Eminim onlar da bizi duydular. Ayrıca yataklar temiz olmasına rağmen çok eski ve rahatsız ediciydi.

Noe pluss og noe minus
Store rom, men lite bad. God frokost, men restauranten var ikke åpen annet enn til frokost. Baren var også stengt, så var kun et lite område å sitte ute p å.
AV funket effektivt og bra. Også pluss for grei beliggenhet ifm offentlig transport.

Botel Vodnik
Bra parkering, rummet var mysigt, svalt och luftigt med luftkonditionering (var 34 grader ute ) med sköna sängar och lite kylskåp på rummet och hade varit riktigt bra om det inte varit för att det luktade väldigt starkt av något oplacerat. Såpass att det kändes som man gick in i en vägg av lukt när man steg in i rummet. Botellet är lite slitet och på kväll/morgonen fanns det döda flygmyror i badrummet.
Något annat som drar ner betyget rejält är att när vi kom hem på kvällen och ville ta något kallt att dricka innan sovdags samt njuta av den varma kvällen så gick det inte att betala med kort i baren utan bara kontantbetalning något som inte nämnts eller informerats om. Som tur var hade vi euro med oss- men någon växel fick vi inte tillbaka, det hade han inte.
Frukosten smakade bra men det är oerhört trångt och svårt att komma tillbaka för att hämta t ex kaffe och juice.
Tvärs över gatan finns en restaurang väl värd ett besök - the Italians. Bra service och god mat!!
Smidigt att beställa en Bolt/Über för att åka in till Gamla stan- bolt var billigare.

I like the property because it is 3 blocks from the metro. The views on the water are lovely however it is going to get cold at nights and hot during afternoons. The suites are a fair price that are a large size and the breakfast is surprisingly great.

Negativa: Na pokoji byla nefunkční lednice, obtékala sprcha, nedaly se zavřít dveře od koupelny, zařízení značně použité - zasloužilo výměnu. Nikde jsem se předem nedozvěděla, že na botelu jsou neustále nějaké kovové zvuky, zřejmě uchycení botelu ke břehu, což v noci ruší lidi s lehkým spánkem.
Pozitiva: Vstřícný personál, výborná snídaně, dobrá lokalita nedaleko metra.
