"Quiet baroque townhouse close to the castle... Splendid staircase leads to traditional bedrooms featuring parquet floors and antique furnishings."
Frommer's
"The atmosphere is almost Disneyesque in its pretense, but somehow appropriate for this location at the foot of Prague Castle."

"This Baroque building (it took its present form in 1639) is in a quiet and convenient location at the top of the hill, looking out over Petrín Hill and the Strahov."
Lonely Planet
"The ‘King Charles’ is a cosy, romantic hotel set in a lovely, ‘baroquefied’ Gothic building, with rooms set on landings around an impressive central atrium with a stained-glass ceiling."

Michelin Guide
"Well-maintained, modern hotel in a quiet area, with a bright lobby and comfortable, contemporary bedrooms."
Fodor's
"What is mood lifting is the hotel's Planet Zen spa. The location can't be beat, either, next to two of the city's best restaurants and a five-minute walk from Old Town Square."

DK Eyewitness
"One of the most fashionable places to stay in the city. Exquisitely furnished rooms with over-sized beds are the order of the day at the Maximilian."
Star Service
"On a quiet cobblestoned square...this hotel faces the street with an elegant period facade that gives no indication that the interior is equipped to meet modern expectations."
