Design Hotel Jewel Prague

I spent 4 nights at Design Hotel Jewel, and it was a great experience. I only have two complaints, which I’ll just leave at the beginning to get them out of the way:
1) I stayed in the Emerald Room on the first floor, and it’s the smallest room I have ever paid money for. And I’ve been to Tokyo. My bed more resembled a daybed, but it ended up working. I get the impression that this room is an outlier and that the other rooms of the hotel are sized for normal people.
2) It kinda weirds me out that there’s no way to lock your door without deadbolting it with a key. No quick exits for anybody, which seems like a fire hazard.
But whatever. This hotel is rad. Let’s list those reasons out, too.
1) A damn near perfect location. Just a couple of blocks off of Old Town Square, and near public transit to get the hell out of the tourist-​centric chaos. Also plenty of nearby restaurants, services, and corner shops.
2) Though my room was small, it was also impeccably clean and well appointed. The bathroom had nice products and good water pressure. There were easily accessible power outlets.
3) A free high-​quality breakfast from the attached Jewel Café. I didn’t take advantage of this every day, and on the days I didn’t, I regretted it.
4) This is the most important: the staff was so friendly and hospitable and I felt incredibly cared for. Each night they brought you a small sweet treat, accompanied by a «Prague bedtime story» about local history. The person front desk always had a genuine small and hello for you, and if you needed any assistance, they were more than happy to help out. Case in point: the day I checked out, I had to leave VERY early. Not only did they set me up with a complimentary towncar to the airport, but they also packed me up a to-​go breakfast, since I’d miss their traditional complimentary service hours. I really value customer service, and you can tell that the management at this hotel feels the same.
Again, I feel like I kind of got a raw deal with my specific room, but I would GLADLY stay at this hotel again. You should do the same.

I found this hotel through
and it looked pretty good, so we booked this place for our stay in Prague.
The hotel was very good in getting back to us and, is also pet friendly. The location is superb and you are a stones throw away from the center of town and shopping district. The staff here are extremely professional and super friendly.
The room is a bit on the smaller side but well equipped. The bathroom is clean and the bed is nice and comfortable. The only drawback here is the street noise, which can go late into the night. The room was beautifully cleaned and every evening, the staff left us small treats, baked daily in the kitchen.
Breakfast is included and served in the Jewel bar and, is excellent. You get a menu of options for hot food and, there is a continental buffet with excellent bread and cheese on offer, amongst other things. During the weekend they also serve a champagne breakfast, a nice touch :-))
They went to great length to look after us and, the prices are quite good, for the quality and service. It’s a small hotel with a dozen or so rooms and, each room is individually named. There is no lift at this hotel and the rooms are over two floors. There is also no parking at the hotel but, there is plenty of secure parking in the city center. I used the Parkit facilities and it’s secure. You can book and pay online and it’s located about a 4 min walk from the hotel. It’s a city filled with one way streets so driving can be a pain.
I would happily come here again. It’s rare to find small hotels with all the little additions like this place does, without paying a fortune. It’s a gem in this city and well worth staying at.

The Design Hotel Jewel was something different from the second we walked in the door. First off… you walk into the restaurant and the lobby is straight ahead. The lobby is small, like any boutique hotel. The staff is amazing, they will do anything in the world for you.
Once you check in, it’s out the small door to the left and up to your room. Your bags will take a small «luggage only» elevator and will meet you. Once you get there, you use a REAL KEY to open your door, and the same to lock it from the inside.
Décor is VERY trendy and extremely cool.
Pros: Free breakfast is wonderful as there is not only a buffet of breads and cheeses with veggies and such… you also order an entrée off the menu. The scrambled eggs with chives were great… throw em on a croissant and you’re good to go. Location is great, you’re already in old town so go wander. Check out main square first with astronomical clock and then wind down awesome cobblestone streets wide enough for 3 – 4 people and boom… you’re on the Charles Bridge.
Cons: small rooms for some, but we thought it was fine as we’re used to European rooms. Bathroom is more than adequate. Ask for room on alley, street area «could» be loud, but I can’t verify personally. No A/​C, at least in our room, but it was cool so we were good.
Recommend: Absolutely, this hotel is as Prague hotels should be, so don’t go glitz and glam, go for service along with location and something new!!!

The Jewel Hotel was our ‘home from home’ in Prague. We were delighted with the hotel car service that chauffeured us to and from the airport, a little bit of a luxury compared to the cost of the bus/​tram but a good way to feel pampered!
We stayed in the Ruby Room, a stylish room with ruby red highlights. This was on the second floor –be warned, there is no lift (other than a tiny one for suitcases –a neat touch) but the stairs were a good counterbalance to all the beer and cake we consumed! Everything in our room was clean and comfy and we particularly appreciated the sofa/​sitting area where we could stretch out and plan our next sightseeing adventure.
Breakfast and other meals are served in the restaurant/​bar area. Both the breakfast buffet and the a la carte offerings were tasty and plentiful and our morning waitress was keen to make sure we were happy… which we were!
Every evening a small ‘gift’ was delivered to our room, a meringue, a coconut cake, a little delicious something. Also, a postcard with tomorrow’s weather forecast and, an original touch, a bedtime story based on a local myth/​legend. Front of house could not have been more helpful or friendly, just what you would want to find in a city hotel.
As for the location, perfect! Local craft market in the adjacent road, Wenceslas Square to one side, the old town hall to the other, 10 minutes to the river in one direction and 10 minutes to the huge Palladium shopping centre in the other.
We loved The Jewel and recommend it wholeheartedly.

Your US dollar goes further in Prague. One of the best hotels in Prague, and one of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed at. Complimentary night cap service. Conveniently located in Old Town, within walking distance to the best tourist sites in the city. Complimentary hot breakfast in the morning with your choice of sausages, omelettes, or eggs. Fresh fruit, pastries, juice, and teas. Each room is tastefully decorated, modern, and well-​furnished. Only downside is that because it is in the heart of Old Town, there is an undesirable amount of noise leakage into the room from the late night partying. No elevators, but only three floors.
Highly recommended.
