Our stay at the Buddha-Bar Hotel was absolutely fantastic. The suite was beautifully designed, spotlessly clean, and had a unique atmosphere that made the experience truly special. You can tell that great attention has been paid to the details. There were a couple of minor issues during our stay, but the way the staff handled everything was impressive – quick, professional, and extremely friendly. We felt genuinely well taken care of throughout our visit. The breakfast deserves a special mention – it was simply outstanding, with a wide variety of high-quality options and impeccable service. All in all, it was a wonderful stay from start to finish. We’ll definitely come back and can highly recommend the Buddha-Bar Hotel to anyone looking for a luxurious and memorable experience in Prague.
We stayed there for 4 nights and it was fantastic. The rooms are very large and very modern. We had one minor "could be better" suggestion: The awesome shower needs a shower door. The floor of the bathroom gets soaked without it. Not a huge deal. I looked for weeks to find the best hotel deal and I do think this was it. We walked by the other comparable hotels and even ones that were more expensive for similar rooms and this clearly was the best location. Close enough to pretty much everything for a first time trip while still being on a relatively quiet street. We walked by New Town and some of those luxury places in Mala Strana and I do think this was the best option for feeling safe and close to everything. And it honestly was about 33% cheaper than a lot of those other options. Excellent staff as well. They printed tickets for us, got us a higher level room when we asked, and got us an iron/extra towels in minutes after asking. They were great. Restaurant was solid too, but that'll be in a different review. It's just nice having a dinner option nearby after walking for miles and miles all day lol.
I stayed at this hotel for the second time, from August 5 to 7, 2025, in Room 45. Overall, I remain impressed with the location, creative design, and attentive staff. However, I encountered a few notable inconveniences: 1. The hotel is overdue for renovations. Wear and tear are clearly visible and detract from the overall experience. 2. For a hotel with an Asian-inspired concept, the absence of smart toilets—similar to those commonly found in Japan—is disappointing. 3. The lighting and window shade controls are outdated, overly complicated, and unintuitive. The number of buttons is overwhelming. 4. The air conditioning and heating system is old, excessively loud, and doesn’t meet the quality expectations of a premium hotel. I had to physically get up to adjust the temperature multiple times, which gave it more of a cheap motel vibe. 5. While the pillows were among the best I’ve ever used, the mattress was worn out. It caused back pain and discomfort in nearly every joint. That pain disappeared as soon as I slept elsewhere, confirming the issue. Despite these problems, I will definitely return—but only after a comprehensive renovation. I’d even be willing to pay a higher rate if these upgrades were made.
