Rooms are practical, a bit worn, but the views of the River Danube more than makeup for that. Views are amazing since you are on the river. We were directly opposite the fort and cathedral. Fantastic breakfast included, only thing is they don't have any chicken or turkey options other than eggs, so that was a bit disappointing since I don't eat beef or pork. Sweets and breads plus cheeses were great. So was the expresso and juices.

I had a very nice stay in Botel Vodnik with my friends. Special thanks to Anastasia, who didn’t just show around the hotel, but also was very informative about the city, she was also very polite and overall helped us a lot! The rooms are overall good, fresh bad sheets and comfy beds, but we could hear the steps from above This Botel( boat hotel) is a very nice hotel and we would like to stay there again, also was the best price/quality comparison

Serene spot with fantastic views! Had a fantastic stay on the water. It was absolutely serene, quiet with just birdsong and ducks quaking and beautiful views of the fortress across the river. What a surprise to find such a beautiful spot set in nature just 15-20 min on public transport from the centre. Breakfast was a really good selection and staff were friendly. Will come back!

A bit far from the main attractions in Prague, this botel has very nice comfortable rooms, a good breakfast and a nice view of the river, for a very good price. We stayed there 4 nights and loved it. All images taken from the boat
