LH Hotel Mlýn Old Town is on Parkán in the old town, beside the Vltava, so many rooms have river views. It offers Comfort and Deluxe doubles, Romantic doubles with river views, single and triple rooms, and apartments that sleep four. A free breakfast buffet is included, and there is a snack bar and deli, a 24-hour front desk, a lift, air conditioning, free WiFi and luggage storage. Rooms have comfort beds, hypo-allergenic bedding and flat-screen televisions, and some have bathtubs.
Location and getting around
The hotel is tucked between the river and the old town streets, a handy spot for exploring on foot. The church of St. Jošt and the church of St. Vitus are each about two minutes away on foot, the Latrán houses three, and the castle and the Egon Schiele Art Centrum about five.
Cafes and restaurants such as Drunken Coffee and Kolektiv are four minutes away, with more along the riverside. The old town is a pedestrian area, so cars generally need a permit, and the bus and railway stations are outside the centre.
The rooms
The range suits different groups. Comfort doubles with city views are the entry level, Deluxe and Romantic doubles face the river and are the ones to request if you want the view of the water, and the City Single is a small room for solo guests. The Panoramic, Gallery and Family Apartments sleep four and suit families or friends travelling together, and the Gallery Apartment has two bedrooms.
Included breakfast is a real advantage in a town where morning meals can cost extra, and the 24-hour front desk means late arrivals are not a problem, since check-in runs very late. Rooms have comfort beds, hypo-allergenic bedding, bathtubs and flat-screen televisions with satellite channels, plus safes and free toiletries, so the basics are well covered for a stay of several nights.
Who it suits and what to know: couples who want a romantic river view, families who need an apartment and independent travellers will all find a fit. Pets are not allowed, and parking is limited and difficult in the pedestrian zone, so ask the hotel about arrangements before you arrive by car. Check-out is early, at ten, so plan your last morning accordingly. Prices are mid-range and rise in summer and over the winter holidays, and the river-view rooms are the first to go, so book ahead for them.
The hotel is a good choice if you want to combine sightseeing with a slow evening by the water, because the riverside paths are right outside, and a morning walk before breakfast is a lovely way to see the town while it is still quiet.
