Really nice hotel converted from a monastery. Rooms and beds are very quiet and comfortable. Staff is good. They serve a beer in the bar that is brewed from the recipe of the monks that once resided there. Definitely try it.

One of my favorite hotels.
It has an amazing old-world feel, with lots of new conveniences.
Just walking down the main entry path to the courtyard, you feel a lot more relaxed.
The staff are excellent. Very attentive, very friendly.
The breakfast is wonderful, and great every day.
The grounds themselves are excellent. Quite a few good places to sit outside, have a drink and unwind. The bar is very well appointed, (has 19th century Frescoes on the ceiling) and they even have their own brand of beer, thats quite good.
The rooms are very nice, heated tile bathrooms, good views of the city, decently insulated from noise, and very comfortable.response / report this review -

Beautiful historic hotel in the heart of Prague. Being a Starwood property it certainly lives up to the luxury chain's standard of service, and modern amenities.
Rooms are very large even for Prague! I believe our suite was around 700-800 sq ft. Very comfortable beds, windows that open entirely.
The property was in the best location it could possibly be waking distance to major sights and the Charles Bridge. Full service spa with a hot tub/steam sauna however the property did not have a pool. Courtyards were absolutely gorgeous, landscaped with flowers and natural greens. The breakfast restaurant is a must, and you can sit outside on the courtyard if weather permits!
Also the hotel provided umbrellas you can take with you for the day while you are sight seeing. This was a lovely added touch for us as it rained our entire stay and we did not come prepared.
Thank you to all the Augustine staff for making our stay truly memorable.response / report this review -

About US$300/night, about the only thing bad is the outside which if you judge a book by its cover would give you the impression the hotel is worn and dated. Have also seen better outdoor courtyards as the grass and foliage is not even close to be considered perfectly manicured.
Other than that, the staff is absolutely 5 🌟. Was blown away with the attention received at check-in and was equally amazed throughout stay. The room was magnificent, one of the top 1-2 rooms I have stayed in during my travels through Europe. Truly one the highlights of the hotel along with the restaurant. The hotel chef is a celebrity, judge on Top Shelf Czech and the food he serves here is superb.
Would securely stay again.response / report this review -

Staff was wonderful. Room was nice, but not as impressive as I was expecting from the other photos online. Certainly nothing to complain about. Really, given the price it would have been three stars, but the staff truly were exceptionally good.
Was my first time in Prague, so I don't know if all hotel staff are that helpful, or if the people at the Augustine are outliers, but I would recommend staying there as long as money is not a concern. It was almost 10x some of the other hotels I saw listed, but it was definitely nicer than those. I don't know if it was 10x nicer though.
It was easily double what I've paid for a comparable room in London or Berlin, to put it in perspective, and the breakfast that was included was nothing to write home about (which none of the other European hotels I've stayed in included). That being said, the breakfast was not worth the extra 120-140 Euros a night over say the Maritim Berlin.
It's in a terrific neighborhood, very safe, very convenient, and close to the castles and the metro. Housekeeping was very diligent, and in general the facilities were very nice, though I skipped the tour when I first arrived due to exhaustion. I would strongly recommend being shown around though, it is a large place, and you can easily miss a lot of the nicer parts if you don't know where to look. Even after staying ten days I still hadn't stumbled on all of it.response / report this review -

Top notch service and wonderful historic location tucked away from the often chaos of the downtown area. Some great local pubs nearby

An extremely exquisite Hotel. The staff is incredible they will do anything you ask without question and are helpful. The hotel is located walking distance from the main city that is tucked away around the corner to escape The Noisy foot traffic and sound of cars. Must try the cocktails at the bar and stroll around the beautiful enclosed courtyard. They also have a brewery with beer that is only located at this hotel. If I ever come back to Prague I will be staying at the hotel.

Amazing food and a really cool function room underground. The staff were very friendly and even let us visit the tower suite, the romantic room with 360 degree views of Prague from the bed.

Beautiful hotel inside an 800 year old monastery. Try their beer on draft. Same recipe the monks brewed here. Yum!

Beautiful and very luxurious hotel in old monastery. Hidden in the old town from prying eyes, but just next to all the major monuments on the past. If you cannot stay have at least a coffee in their gardens. The atmosphere of long forgotten post will just sink into you!
