1. Is it true that Albert Einstein once lived at Hotel Praga 1885?
Yes, it’s absolutely true, and we’re very proud of this legacy! Hotel Praga 1885 was famously the residence of Albert Einstein in the early 20th century during his time in Prague. Staying with us means spending the night in a place where one of history’s greatest minds once lived.
-
2. What is the historical background of your hotel building?
Our hotel is housed in a stunning Neo-Renaissance building that was constructed in 1885 — the very year that gave us our name. What was originally built as a municipal hotel has been welcoming guests for well over a century. After a complete and loving restoration, we reopened in 2010, seamlessly blending our rich 19th-century character with all the modern comforts you expect today.

3. What is your cancellation policy?
We know travel plans can change unexpectedly, so we offer fully refundable room rates for guests who need flexibility. If you’ve booked a fully refundable rate, you can cancel your reservation up to 48 hours before your scheduled arrival date without penalty. We strongly encourage you to check the specific cancellation policy for your chosen room type at the time of booking to understand the exact terms and conditions.
-
4. Do you have air conditioning in the rooms?
Due to the historic nature of our beautiful 19th-century building, our rooms are not equipped with air conditioning. Instead, all rooms feature openable windows, and upon request we are happy to provide a fan. To ensure a comfortable night’s sleep, we recommend requesting an upper-floor room, as they tend to be quieter and cooler.

5. What types of rooms and suites do you offer?
We have a total of 45 elegantly decorated, en-suite bedrooms spread across three floors. Our room selection includes:
- Standard Double
- Deluxe Double
- Superior Double

All accommodations feature antique-style furniture, high ceilings, and modern amenities.
