Just a 5min walk from Charles Bridge, the William enjoys a great location. Depending on your personal tastes, the design scheme is either fantastically 'fairy tale' or terribly twee. Try to get a room overlooking the garden rather than the street.

Hotel William occupies an imposing neoclassical townhouse in the heart of lovely Malá Strana, perfectly located for sightseeing. It has been recently renovated, and the decor scheme they've gone for is certainly a bold choice. You might feel like you've just walked onto the stage set of a Cinderella pantomime or a Disneyland theme hotel, with all the escutcheons, crenellations, fake stonework and crystal chandeliers, but it's a bit of fun, and certainly singles the place out from the usual, run-of-the-mill three-star hotels dotted around the city. You'll probably be relieved to hear, though, that the 42 rooms themselves are a tad more sober in design, and have a fresh, contemporary look, decorated with a more muted cream and yellow colour scheme. There's a short flight of steps up to reception, so unfortunately the William isn't suited to disabled guests.
