- This hotel is located in Old Town and everything is walking distance. I didn't need a taxi except to get to the airport and back. The location doesn't get more convenient. There are many restaurants in the area as well. - The building is from the 14th century so it fits so well with the history of the area.... More

The hotel is ideally situated right on the old town square and right in the middle of Prague. The hotel is beautiful and kept in pristine condition for such an old building. Rooms are extremely well heated which is good when it is minus 7 outside. Breakfast is one of the better ones I have had in Prague although still... More

Location Location Location,and atmosphere! I stayed here for 5 nights in early December with my elderly parents and we had a truly lovely holiday . We arrived just as the Christmas markets were starting and saw the lighting of a most spectacular Christmas tree in the square. This hotel has a great deal of ambience and warmth, the staff are...

Perfect location - around the corner from the old historic town square, and an easy walk to most anything you want to see. Wonderful staff, friendly and very helpful.

On both occasions, I found the hotel to be clean, warm and welcoming, but by far the most appealing feature of the hotel is the location. If you want to be... More

We happened on the restaurant of this hotel by chance and liked the sound if the daily specials. Although we had no reservation we were given a table straight away downstairs in the cellar (a lit nicer than it sounds - very atmospheric). We had roast pork (called a knee!) with freshly grated horseradish, mustard and pickles with a basket... More

Six of us stayed at the black Elephant (Cerny Slon)for My birthday and we all enjoyed our stay, The room we had (room 2) was large and well appointed with everything we required for our stay. As pointed out by other reviews the hotel has not got a lift but the stairs are of a generous size and not too... More

Prague was on the tail end of our 3 week trip. Our train arrived later than scheduled so we didn't get to the hotel until 6 PM. Cerny Slon is an old and small boutique hotel. It is directly across the alley way from the ancient Church of Our Lady of Tyn---a church that seems to be closed but whose... More
