Hotel Cerna Liska

Great hotel with a wonderful location

Hotel Cerna Liska is a nice quaint hotel with a wonderful location in the main Square in Prague. Many sites and shops are only a few blocks away and others are within walking distance. The staff was excellent- had to leave at 6 AM for the airport and they had breakfast packed up and ready to go for us. Would definately stay here again!

Great location, staff needs some work on customer service

The hotel is in the perfect location, and my room had a fantastic view. Really beautiful and classic rooms. Hotel was great in many ways. They also honored my request to give me a room with a view of the square. One big problem to me, they gave me absolutely no grace period on the 11 AM checkout. Maybe this is a Czech thing and others tell me they have experienced this elsewhere, but having stayed in 100 hotels or so, I have always found hotels would give you at least 1 hour grace period and sometimes more. I had a bit of a problem the night before and was up really late, so I slept in a bit and needed a bit more time. They gave me 10 minutes and were pretty rude about it. Certain people that work there are good, and some are not. The women on Monday morning was not friendly. This kind of tarnished my view of the hotel.

Excellent saty, Excellent Location

Terrific location right on Old Town Square. Helpful staff & good breakfast. Had heard that it might be noisy (given the popular location) but did not have any problems with both windows shut.

Cerna Liska

I highly recommend this hotel. The location is perfect - as central as you can get with amazing views of the Old Town Square from the rooms, and yet the windows are thick enough that the room was still very quiet. The room was comfortable and clean, the staff was extremely helpful and friendly, and the breakfast was much better than what I’ve usually seen at European hotels. The only complaint I have is a very, very minor one - the frames of the beds. The legs stick out in such a way that if you aren’t careful you’ll bang your toes & knees on them (me & my friend both did it more than once). So - definitely stay here! Just watch your step around the beds. :)

Amazing location!

The Cerna Liska is a pretty average hotel, however you will not believe the location for the price. It is literally located in Old Town Square with a stunning view of the Tyn Church! The breakfast is good with deli fixings, bread,eggs and bacon. The staff is very helpful and fluent in English.

Great location

This small hotel is literally on Old Town Square. Easy walk to Charles Bridge, Jewish Qtr, and a metro stop. Some may be concerned about noise level from the action on the square, but it did not bother us. So cool to look across the square at lighted Tyn Church at night. Included breakfast was a full breakfast w/ several choices.

Traveler's tip on getting the most out of your stay

Ask for room overlooking Old Town Sq.--don’t think all do. Or some may prefer not to be on square and could request same.

Loved this hotel!

Our room looked out over a beautiful view of the Old Town Square. It was spacious, nicely appointed and well kept. Since I am a smoker, I loved having windows that could be opened to let in the fresh air. All staff were friendly, very helpful and efficient. The breakfast buffet was extensive and would satisfy any taste. I am looking forward to another trip to Prague, and will definitely choose this hotel again.

great location, but rude, rude, rude.

Katerina was one of the rudest, unfriendly and unhelpful people we have ever encountered in all of our travels. She was surly and seemed to enjoy telling us that there were no rooms with views available. I then asked for the highest room she had and she said there was only a room on the 2nd floor - yet she gave our friend a room on the 3rd floor - and we all arrived at the same time! The rooms are actually much cuter once you get used to the dismal cast of the fluourescent lighting. At first we thought it was dirty, but it was actually very clean, tho a bit sparce. it’s not cozy but it could be with the fantastic frescoes on the wood ceilings. Furniture was cheap, but the place is right on the square in Old Town, so for the price you can’t beat it. All the rooms do not have great views, but we did not find it loud at all, unlike some of the reviews I read. There is a really cute restaurant downstairs and, as we were traveling with friends who were staying all over Prague, it was a glorious meeting place. I heard the food was really good, but we got up too late to make the breakfast. There were lots of other cute places to stay right off the square, so not sure if we would go back - unless they guaranteed us a great view of the square.

Cerna Liska - Great location

Good: Great location on old city square nice room size nice bathroom breakfast Bad: variable front desk interaction a/c did not work properly

Great location

The hotel is well positioned for visiting Prague’s many attractions on foot. Staff were very helpful, (for example on our departure date, they arranged a ’fixed price’ taxi for us to travel to the railway station which was about half the price of the fare we paid on arrival) and conversed well in English. The breakfast spread was more than adequate and there was always a large platter of fresh fruit - including strawberries.

Traveler's tip

Prague has become a popular destination with large crowds at tourist attractions including the Charles Bridge and sadly prices have risen accordingly. Be aware of overcharging by taxi drivers.

Best localization

It`s situated in the best place of Prague. Simple but marvellous! I recommend!

Fantastic Location!

The location of this hotel can’t be beat. Our room had a view of Old Town Square and St. Nicholas church, right around the corner from the Astronomical clock. Room was clean and nicely appointed. Staff was friendly and breakfast was tasty. Highly recommend this hotel!

Highly recommeded

Terrific view of the plaza. Room had foyer,very ample wardrobe space, a large room with high celings, and three hugh windows. Very impressive for a building that is hundreds of years old. Full English breakfast also included, as well as free use of computer in lobby. All with no extra charges, and walking distance to everything. This location made our stay just super.

Traveler's tip on dining

About a block off the square, on Celetna Street, is a terrific restaurant with a group that plays Gypsy music on violins, base fiddle and acoustic guitar. Name a tune, and they will play it. If you don’t know the name, just humm it, and they will play it. Wonderful evening with wonderfull people. A grest time for all.

Excellent Location

Great location right on the square.

Great location!

Cerna Liska Hotel is delightful and right on the Old City Square within walking distance of museums, restaurants and the subway/trolley and bus in case you want to go farther afield. The air conditioning is not great but I understand it isn’t great at the Hilton either.

Highly recommended

Delightful, totally renovated small hotel right on the Old Town Square - honestly you couldn’t imagine a more perfect location or better value for money. Sadly I wasn’t able to get a room with a view of the square, but the room itself and bathroom were immaculate, with TV, minibar, comfortable bed and FREE INTERNET - wired in the rooms (they have cables) and wireless in the lobby. Staff were very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Breakfast was free & excellent.

Traveler's tip on recreational activities

Just wander the streets of Prague at random - everywhere you go, you’ll see the most beautiful buildings and then sit in the square with a beer, chill out and just watch people go by.

Fantastic hotel in the center of Old Prague

The hotel is very small with plenty of space in the room;the service was outstanding, everybody was very polite, well trained and friendly;outstanding breakfast,slightly different every morning;the location of the hotel makes it very special and convinient for walking around the city

Traveler's tip on local attractions

Do not miss the tour of the Castle and the 6 hour tour of Prague.The tour of the Jewish Quarters is a must, you can do it any time since you are literally 5 minute walk from the hotel

Staff is awful

Quite good location and nice view. But the staff is awful. The female staff is hostile and doesn’t care about customers.

Can’t beat the location

The location of the hotel was ideal - right on Old Town Square in the middle of everything, yet seemed quaint and authentic. A couple of minor cleanliness issues in the room, but not enough to spoil our stay.

Traveler's tip on dining

Great dinner experience at the Architect Club - great vegetarian menu in a super cool environment.

Quaint, conveniently located hotel

This hotel was right on Old Town Square around the corner from the Astronomical Clock, so it was conveniently located and easy to walk to all the sites of Prague. The interior was very quaint with an old-style look. The staff was friendly and helpful and breakfast was included.

Unbelievable location and great everything

this hotel is literally located on "the" old town square in the historic part of prague. the rooms are good sized and our room (and i think the vast majority if not all) look out onto the square. from the hotel it is a short walk to everything. really an unbelievable place. also, great breakfast.

Perfect location and lovely hotel

This lovely hotel has only 17 rooms. Each room is rather large for a European hotel and quite charming. The staff was helpful. The location is perfect for exploring the castle, charles bridge, old town square, and the Jewish quarter.. all are on the doorstep of the hotel. If you keep your windows open at night, it can be loud with student goups coming home from bars.
