The Bishop's House Hotel The Bishop's House Hotel

  Hotel Information
 
The Bishop´s House is situated in the centre of the Prague Municipal Historical Conservation area - under the Prague Castle in the Lesser Town, about 60m from the Charles Bridge.




During the Romanesque period, at the end of the 12th century, the powerful bishop Prince Jindrich Bretislav had a vast court built as a bishop´s seat on the left bank of the Vltava river.
His successors, bishops and archbishops, e.g. Jan of Dražice (from which the name of the Dražické Square is derived) had the court extended and rebuilt. The fire in 1249, started by the rebels against the King Wenceslas I., caused according to the chronicler Kosmas an extensive renovation of the seat. In 1419 the court was plundered and burnt down. This was the fall of the court and its walls were used for the construction of houses of Prague bourgeoisie.

The appearance of the house, today called according to its historical origin "The Bishop´s House", emanates from 1843, when the reconstruction of the 16th century semblance was finished after six years of work.
Present archeological research, however, proved the evidence of the settlement in this place already in primeval and even neolithic times.

The Bishop´s House is situated in the centre of the Prague Municipal Historical Conservation area - under the Prague Castle in the Lesser Town, about 60m from the Charles bridge.
Complete reconstruction of the building was finished in 1999.

Behind the Empire facade guests can find both comfort and genuine remnants of the past.

"Charming hotel in a great location"
My wife and I just returned from our stopover in Prague, where we stayed in the Bishop's House Hotel. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there. The staff was extremely courteous and welcoming. The location is great, just steps away from the Charles Bridge and a short walk to Prague Castle, Old Town Square, etc. The breakfast buffet was enjoyable, and was something that my wife and I would look forward to every day. The room (V1), while simple, had a lot of character. We would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone considering it.

"Nice Hotel in a great location"
Stayed there for a Weekend in October with friends. First of all the location is great. Directly below the Charles Bridge, within walking distance to allmost every interesting location on both sides of the river. Allthough we arrived on an early flight (at the hotel at around 9:00 am) there was no problem with an early check in for our party of 8. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The rooms were spacious, very clean and had a lot of character, allthough the furniture was a bit basic. The breakfast (included in our rate) was o.k. but nothing to write home about. I'm not sure about the 4*-rating but if you can get a decent rate (we paid about 160$/night on a weekend when most 4* hotels charged well above 200$) this hotel is an ideal base for sightseeing in one of the most charming and beautiful cities in europe. If you are a hobby photographer like me, sacrifice a few hours of sleep and visit the Charles bridge before/at sunrise. It's absolutely marvellous without the masses of tourists! The very reasonable priced hotel-shutlle from and to the airport was a nice extra (you can call the hotel directly to be picked up at the airport).
