I loved Hotel Jewel and the restaurant and the staff were fab. I only gave it a 4 as there is no elevator and I was on the 3rd floor and the luggage elevator only worked till 2nd floor - so it was quite the hike up and down. Ask for a room lower down if you don't like stairs. Still would recommend.

Almost a nightmare... lack minimum concern

It's a very small place literally fits one twin bed and a small desk with chair with no room to move around. Didn't feel it's worth the money I paid. The Manager was reasonable, tried to show the city plan and brought me upstairs to the room and gave a traditional keys set(two keys) one for the room and one for the back door (entrance). I went out to the city or couple hours and came back around 1 AM. The keys for backdoor entrance didn't work. I had my flight early next morning which I can't afford missing. Majority of people don't speak english, it's a bit shady at that late in the night and a bit scary. After trying for almost half hour, I walked down to two police officers and tried explain my situation. They tried to help me opening the door for a few minutes and were unsuccessful. After I requested them repeatedly they were kind enough to call the Manager or his cell(i have no idea how they know his number) and told me someone will come open the door in 15 min. So finally after 15 minutes, the manager came apologizing for the inconvenience and let me in thru the front door. If it weren't for the police officers, I don't know how It would have been to me in a new place that late in the night. I wish the management of the hotel took a better care of these minimum things, especially if there's no late night service at the hotel.

We arrived late at night, but the check in process was quick and easy. We had our first meal in Prague at the hotel's restaurant, and everything we ordered was good. Service was excellent, and all of the staff we encountered throughout our stay were very nice. The room was clean and had enough space for three of us. Breakfast was very good, and we liked the fact that we could order complimentary a la carte menu on top of the buffet. There is no elevator, but it didn't bother us too much. The hotel is located on the quiet street, but it was central enough to walk everywhere. Overall, it was a pleasant stay.

The Jewel is a Jewel!

The Jewel is a lovely boutique hotel in the old part of Prague. Just far enough away from the square so that the noise an comotion isn’t a problem but just a short walk to the action. The staff was very friendly and attentive especially Tonci who helped us with reservations etc. The breakfast was excellent as were the little amenities brought to the room each evening. The value for money was excellent. The only small issue was the erratic WIFI. Not a big deal

Friendly and convenient city hotel

The friendly bar staff quickly checked me in when I arrived after 10.30pm from a late and delayed flight, and I was soon relaxing in the hotel's pleasant bar. I slept well in a quiet room on the second floor. There was a nice choice for breakfast, including hot food cooked to order that is included in the price. The hotel is ideally located for exploring the centre of Prague on foot, and indeed it's convenient even for popping back during the day to deposit purchases back in one's room. It's a small and characterful establishment with lovely staff, and a refuge from the touristic bustle of the city. Wifi worked well in the bar and in my room. There were nice touches such as a small cake delivered to my room and weather forecasts updated in my room daily. Altogether, it was a pleasure to stay at this hotel.

Great Stay In Prague.

This was a really good hotel in a great location, close to many sights including Old Town Square & Powder Tower. It’s close to lots of eateries too but is a quiet hotel to stay in. The room was pretty small (I had a single) but perfectly adequate for what I needed. It was clean & comfortable & very well maintained with nice decor. Breakfast was excellent & the staff were really friendly & helpful. There were some nice touches too with little cakes & a bedtime story in the room every night. The WiFi was a little bit unreliable but nothing too terrible & there’s no lift which could be an issue for some people, although there is a luggage lift. I would definitely recommend this hotel to others & would stay here again.

This was one of the best hotels we have ever stayed at. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, the hotel and staff continued to far exceed our expectations. We stayed 5 nights and received complimentary pick up and drop off to and from the airport in a beautiful car (the driver was lovely). We stayed in the Pearl suite on the top floor which was so stunning and were greeted with a bottle of sparkling wine as we were celebrating our anniversary. So many lovely details including fresh fruit-infused water every day, turn down service with desserts and a bedtime story, and a cell phone with full data to use during your stay! The buffet and a-la-carte breakfast in the morning was amazing. We cannot say enough great things about this hotel. It was ideally situated in Old Town, but not directly in the middle of the hustle and bustle, so it was a bit quieter than expected, which was nice, but still only a 5 minute walk to Old Town Square. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for an quaint, intimate (yet luxurious) stay in the heart of Prague.

Charming hotel in the heart of the Old Town.

We had a lovely stay at the Jewel. We stayed in the Ruby room which was a good size, comfortable and quiet. The shower was good too - always a bonus. And lovely treats left each afternoon - welcome after a long day out sight seeing. The hotel location is great - right in the centre of the old town. We used the hotel car service to get from the station to the hotel which was convenient and good value.
The hotel breakfast is truly fabulous. Lots of choices and all beautifully prepared. We didn't eat at the hotel otherwise but did have cocktails which were rather good and not at all expensive.
Service at the hotel was friendly and helpful.
Overall a great hotel to stay and we would happily come back in future.

It may be a bit of walk to train station (praha hl.n) but you can always take a subway. Hotel staffs were extremely nice and accommodating. Good food for breakfast.

great place to stay

We stayed here because of previous reviews . There have been times when doing this proved to be a huge disappointment . Not this time. The hotel was really clean, in a great location, and we can't say enough good things about the staff. They were so helpful. The manager let us store some stuff while we travelled on to Budapest and then returned to the same hotel. We had an early morning flight and the staff had packed a meal to go for us( we didn't ask for one ). Every night when we returned to our room there was a nightly treat like a chocolate covered strawberry or cupcake etc. The breakfast choices were very good. This hotel helped make our stay in Prague an excellent one. We can't recommend this hotel enough .

Great stay in Prague

Myself, husband and teenage daughter stayed in the Saphire room. It was big enough for our needs and we enjoyed the little touches every evening. The hotel was really well located and an easy walk (for us) everywhere. The staff were really helpful, polite and attentive, booking tickets and giving us directions. We enjoyed being able to go downstairs for a drink and something to eat. It is true there is no lift, except for bags, but it is an old building and not really a great drawback. You can here noise but again it isin thecentre of a city. We have never gone to such a small hotel, usually opting for well known chains, but this has really changed our perspective and I would definately return to The Jewel.

Good location, boutique hotel , w/ no stag parties

We loved our stay at this little boutique hotel conveniently located near all the central Prague sites. We were close to everything, without feeling part of the bachelor party crowd. The staff was very friendly and welcoming, helping us with good interesting restaurant recommendations. The business room was clean and well appointed (chocolates at nightly turn down service) though on the small side, which is completely fine if you are spending your time visiting the city. The breakfast (which was included) was copious and delicious. I echo the comments of other reviewers that the hotel would prove challenging for those with mobility issues as it is walk-up only and the stairs are quite steep and not well lit.

Fantastic Service

Superior comes to mind when I think of this place. It’s a fantastic boutique hotel with its own charms
The service was excellent and that staff was just amazing, but the lady that serve breakfast greets you with a smile that is absolutely refreshing.
Your afternoons are pleasantly interrupted with a knock on the door with a welcoming dessert, complimentary weather reports on cards and daily fresh water in the room with slices of summer fruits.
The only ill you may come across and no fault of their own, due to the design of the old building is that there are no elevators, so you have to march you way up 2 floors if you’re on the top. Thankfully you’re warned about that.

Excellen customer service

When staying at this hotel, you get a feeling that you're welcomed at someone's house. The customer service is great. Every day I would receive water with lemon or orange slices which I thought added a cute touch to the existing \"homey\" feeling. The staff was always very knowledgable for places to eat and tours to take. They always welcomed me with a smile. Since I got in earlier in the first day to check in, they let me choose which single room to take.
The attic room is great for one person because you don't hear any noise from the downstairs bar and the room size is bigger than the standard single rooms on the other floors. By American standards, the single room was on a smaller size but I believe it was perfect for European standards, and the bathroom was a great size as well.
At night, I would come back to my room with a candy on the desk and a pillow bedtime story card which I thought also added to the welcoming homey atmosphere. Overall, I would definitely recommend this hotel. It feels like a europeam boutique hotel and as if you are welcomed into someone's house.
