Hotel Essence was a fabulous base for our break. The hotel itself was in an excellent location to explore the city, no more than a 10 minute walk to the Old Town Square and less than 5 minutes to Wenceslas Square and the Metro. Our rooms were spotless as was the hotel in general, and the staff were super helpful when we had queries and couldn’t do enough for you. 5/5, we will definitely stay here again if we come back to Prague.

I can’t say more good words about this hotel. It’s centrally located but not directly on the busy streets, it’s quiet at night but close to so many restaurants and the old town. Room is spacious, they give me the top floor with amazing view. Bedding is comfy and clean, breakfast included is very good too, I highly recommend.

We got there well before check in time to see if we could leave our luggage there and the lady on the counter just gave us one of the two rooms we booked so we could rest a bit before the second one was ready. The place was extremely clean and well organized, beds were super comfortable. This place is definitely five stars. Also the breakfast was delicious.
