Miss Sophie's

Easy to recommend

I stayed at Miss Sophie's for 4 nights in October 2010. Reservations were done through Expedia where i got an outstanding rate since i was booking several months in advance.
I would say that this is an excellent value for the money.

Getting there: good directions on the website. I arrived in Prague at the train station. Hotel was one stop away on the metro. Down the street, around the corner and you're there, no problem to find.

Hotel staff was very nice. When i arrived my room was not yet ready so i was asked to put my luggage in the lockers downstairs. Front desk personnel was very nice and informative, they spoke great english and were happy to help with any questions/concerns. Their recommendations for restaurants were all very good.

The room itself was lovely. Clean, uncluttered and modern. I stayed in a twin room the first night, which i found a bit cramped. The double room for the remainder of my stay was beautiful. Faced the street but no real noise that i noticed. Bed was nice and comfortable and i slept very well during my stay. Adequate supply of electrical inputs though a bit lacking in storage. I would have liked more of a closet.

I was a bit annoyed by the light sensor in the bathroom which didnt turn on or turned off at inopportune times. Bathroom was a bit modern, lots of warm water and the expensive showerhead. there was no little ledge to keep the water from getting all over the bathroom floor, but this was a design choice that in reality was not a problem at all.

During my stay breakfast was not included. The mexican restaurant across the street serves a great breakfast at a reasonable price and there are plenty of places to eat within easy walking distance. My understanding is that since my stay the hotel now does serve breakfast.

Overall a very pleasant stay. I would certainly stay here again and would recommend this hotel without hesitation.

Unique Quality: This hotel markets itself as a boutique hostel. It was really more of a hotel, people seemed to be older and kept more to themselves. During my stay there was almost no activity downstairs in the common room.

The website shows you some very pretty pictures which are true to the real appearance. the design of Miss Sophies was well thought out and very appealing. Room furniture was a bit on the minimalist/modern side but very comfortable and clean/uncluttered.

The location is in a nice quiet neighborhood in the new town. It is probably about a 20 minute walk to the old town area. I did it a few times but used the metro plenty. Still there, are plenty of places to eat at all budget levels nearby. There were laundry facilities (about 10 minutes walk away and small grocery stores nearby. Walking at night was no problem at all, I felt totally comfortable walking at any time of day or night.
