Lonely Planet Review

Quotes Hotel Raffaello occupies a rather grand neoclassical apartment block just round the corner from the IP Pavlova metro station, with 29 smart doubles and five suites. It's on a very busy main road, but leave the noisy traffic behind and inside it's a haven of calm.

The Raffaello is a discreet and attractive modern hotel around 10min south of Wenceslas Sq. It's a three-star place with sunny and stylish rooms which would command a much higher price if it were any closer to the city centre, but even as it is, you're only one metro station away from the bright lights of tourist-central Prague. Security and privacy are bywords here - you'll have to ring the doorbell to gain admittance - and rooms are furnished with an understated contemporary elegance, including lots of dark wood and quality fabrics in neutral tones. There are no complaints with the bathrooms either, with their light tiles and modern showers. If you're after a bit more space, the suites come in two varieties, either with a terrace, or in a 'duplex' style, with a second level. Both have spacious lounges and kitchenettes with dining areas.

How To Get There

From Prague Ruzyne Airport (PRG):
Distance to Hotel Raffaello is 12 kilometres, approximately 30 minutes' drive.

Getting there. Registered taxis wait outside the Arrivals hall and cost about 600 CZK-900 CZK (22 EUR-32 EUR) to the city centre. Minibuses depart from outside the Arrivals hall and run to Namesti Republiky square, in the city centre. The single fare is 90 CZK per person. Bus numbers 119 and 254 run to Dejvicka, the airport's closest metro station. The journey takes about 20-30 minutes, and single tickets cost 20 CZK (1 EUR). Prices are all subject to change.

Getting around. Hotel Raffaello is on Legerova, two blocks from Wenceslas Square. Prague's historic centre is compact and easy to explore on foot, as many roads are pedestrianised. There is an efficient and inexpensive public transport system, including trams, buses, metro, and a funicular railway. Tickets are available from tobacconists, stations, and many hotel reception desks, and can be used on all modes of transport. Five of the major metro stations have information offices, with schedules, maps, and directions. Onsite parking is available (surcharge).

Driving directions. From Prague Ruyzyne Airport:
Follow signs for the city centre on the K Letiste motorway.
Pass the big junction soon after leaving the airport, then take Nervosa until the big roundabout, and turn right onto Svatovitska.
At the T-junction turn left onto Milady Horakove and turn right onto Burbank at the next T-junction.
The name of this street changes to Wilson ova after you cross the river.
Wilsonova will turn into Mezibranska and then into Sokolska.
From Sokolska turn left onto Rumens then left onto Legerova.
The Hotel Raffaello is on the right-hand side.

Author Tip

Raffaello is on a busy and unremarkable main road, but the metro station is only a minute or two away, and the National Museum and Wenceslas Sq are just 10min north. The bars, restaurants and clubs of Vinohrady are 10min east.
