Alchymist Grand Hotel and Spa - Preferred Hotels & Resorts

Magnifique Sublime

The cafe was amazing. It has the best chocolates that are made in the hotel. Accommodations are very comfortable, with plenty of room for luggage. You really feel like you’ve stepped back in time, without any loss of amenities. The included breakfast is delicious with so many options. If you need to be out the door early, they can accommodate you by either opening the breakfast a little sooner or send you on your way with a sandwich and drinks to go. Also, it is close to many embassies.

Could not have picked a better hotel or location for our visit. It is next door to the American Embassy so the street is both quiet and super safe even late at night. A five minute walk to Charles Bridge and we were so happy to be away from the hubbub of the Old Town. There are however a couple of really good restaurants on this block or farther up the street, so it’s not deserted. The hotel itself is a gorgeous historic building dating from 1517(!) with beautiful baroque decor inside. Upon arrival we were greeted with complimentary glasses of Prosecco while we checked in. Staff are all extremely friendly and helpful and go above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. (special shout-out to Daniel and front desk guy Matthew!) Our room was spacious and well appointed with luxury toiletries and a turn down pair of chocolates each night. The buffet breakfast was excellent and you can order eggs to order as well for no extra charge. I scored major points with my husband and the couple we were traveling with for finding this gem. Highly recommend.

Excellent hotel in the Mala Strana area of Prague. It is centrally located for walking in the left bank of Prague which includes the Castle, the Mala Strana district and the Charles Bridge, all within a 10 minutes walk reach. The hotel is a converted monastery, so there are 3 buildings attached to each other, with beautiful interiors and interesting decorations. There is also a pool and a spa available, and no room is the same. I travelled with my family in a group of 4 so we were able to assess 2 rooms. The rooms are large, with a lot of carved wooden furniture and elegant drapery for the windows. Bathrooms are very good, with strong shower and high quality toiletries. There is an evening turn down service with chocolates in each room and a free water bottle daily. Staff is very helpful and kind. The restaurant Aquarius is used for breakfast (beautiful place, very good breakfast buffet) and for dinner (good Italian restaurant). Overall an elegant splurge for the romantic and the traditional traveler. I would return here again.

We’ve stayed many times so have seen all the cut backs. Unfortunately we won’t be returning, if it’s your first time you’ll love it. But when we’ve been many times we’ve noticed the changes and won’t return. The cheese and wine is cut back to 1:2 hour and is cut back to cheese on one plate. Instead of a spread. Also used to be on for an hour. The breakfast is a poor offering not much choice the À la cart menu that was include is cut right back what a shame. Very poor breakfast now indeed. Staff cut backs, very weird over the air con. They don’t like giving the romote to use in March April time. As it’s not the season, clearly trying to cost cut. It’s a 5 star hotel get a grip. Let your guests at least make a choice on hearing or cool air. Dreadful meal in Aquarius restaurant two members of staff trying to run whole restaurant and worst meal I’ve ever eaten. Stale bread for dessert I’m not joking. Can’t believe a chef came up with the menu. What a disgrace.

Had a very nice stay at this hotel. The room is amazing and the staff were always so helpful. They have complimentary wine and cheese at 4pm. The spa is beautifull!The location is on a quiet side but not a far walk to the old town. I would definitely return.

Everything was just fine there. The hotel is situated just couple of minutes of walk from the Prague Castle. Even the most demanding members of our group did not find anything to complain about. There is a very cozy - romantic cafe Kallyxir in the vicinity.

This was such a fabulous hotel, I can’t imagine ever being in Prague again and staying anywhere else! The staff went above and beyond in every way to make our stay exceedingly comfortable and luxurious. Prosecco upon arrival, beautiful spaces, one of the best massages ever, we used the spa every night, happy hour every evening. Rooms were spacious, had all we needed, location was just right. We approached it in the evening, all lit up, like a dream. We laughed with the breakfast (which was amazing) staff every morning, what a great way to start a day. Best vacation ever. Don’t stay anywhere else in Prague, really.
