Historic 15th-century hotel steps from Prague Castle in Lesser Town

Rooms & Suites

The Red Lion Hotel occupies a 15th-century building with rooms that feature authentic period furniture and exposed painted beams. Each room offers views of Petrin Hill, the Royal Route, or Lesser Town streets, with blackout curtains and satellite TV. The junior suites and family suites provide separate bedrooms and hallways, functioning as two-room apartments.

Location

The hotel is 400 metres from Prague Castle and within walking distance of Charles Bridge and Wallenstein Garden. Malostranské námestí tram station and Malostranská metro station are reachable within a 5- to 10-minute walk. The quiet cobbled street location places guests near independent shops, restaurants, and cafes, yet away from the busier Old Town.

Dining & Breakfast

Breakfast is served at the sister hotel Golden Star, 60 metres away, with a selection including cold meats, cheeses, full English breakfast, pastries, fresh fruit, and hot and cold drinks. The onsite restaurant at Golden Star offers traditional Czech dishes in a non-touristy atmosphere, with an outdoor terrace for evening meals. Complimentary drinks are offered upon arrival as a welcoming touch.

Family-Friendly Accommodations

The family suite and junior suite offer two or three separate bedrooms, suitable for families with older children or groups. Daily housekeeping keeps rooms neat and restocks supplies such as towels and toiletries. The historical building has no elevator, and all rooms are accessible only by stairs, which families should consider when booking.

Services & Accessibility

A 24-hour reception is located at the Golden Star Hotel, 60 metres from the Red Lion, handling check-in, luggage storage, concierge, currency exchange, and airport shuttle arrangements. Private parking is available, and valet parking can be arranged. The hotel provides safety deposit boxes, CCTV in common areas and outside, and key-card access.

“I find that this hotel's setting within a 15th-century building, coupled with its large rooms and antique decor, creates an immersive historical atmosphere; the location is superb, near Prague Castle and other key attractions, yet removed enough to offer a quieter experience. It is my opinion that the complimentary breakfast is a highlight, showcasing local specialties, making this a very welcoming property.”
