Mosaic House was the perfect hotel for our visit to Prague. Due to some weather problems, our flights were disrupted and we arrived a day early with two separate reservations. No problem, all smiles from the excellent check in crew to combine reservations, and a lovely check in drink for the weary. The lobby, dining area, and room were gorgeous, well-designed, clean, and comfortable. The breakf...

One of my favourite hotels ever! Not only was this one of the most affordable hotels I could find in Prague, but the location was fabulous (just outside of old town) and the staff made the stay so memorable! Upon arrival, we were given a free drink each in the cafe and we were allowed to check in early (1pm rather than 3pm) which after a travel day made all the difference. We got to our rooms and ...

We stayed as a couple for a week in February. We got a voucher for a free welcome drink of prosecco/beer. We had breakfast which a buffet with vast choices, and was available until 10:30. The room was clean, cosy and temperature controlled. Tea, coffee, still and sparkling water replenishes every time you would like your room serviced. We didn't take anything from the minibar but it was reasonably...

What an amazing hotel! The hotel is so beautifully designed it feels modern but also cosy and welcoming. Our room was just the standard room but had everything we needed and more, including smart tv, Bluetooth speaker, daily water refills and a coffee machine that was also restocked.
