No hotel better typifies the area of Smichov than the Angelo Hotel Smichov Prague. The hotel is decorated in an ultra modern contemporary Czech style and is very in keeping with the Andel district where bright colours and glass are the general leitmotif. Mixing traditional Czech themes with post Communist retro style, the Angelo Hotel gives you a glance into the beating heart of Czech design (mixing clean lines and irony) whilst still being really close to the centre of Prague.

Above you can see Smichov as seen from across the river in Central Prague (Stare Mesto). The metro station, Andel, is 2 blocks over from the hotel and the Vltava, 5 blocks, meaning the hotel is walking distance for a morning stroll up to the Charles Bridge. The Angelo Hotel Smichov is also very popular with past guests with review scores very high on Compare-Hotels.co and Tripadvisor. 

Recent Review: "Just returned from a 5 night stay at the Angelo hotel with a small group and have to say how brilliant it was. Everybody in our group loved the hotel and the Prague experience. The design is flawless and is really comfortable too, the staff at reception are extremely helpful, well presented and speak perfect English, the location is ideal, near the Andel metro and round the corner from a huge clothes and shopping mall, the meals are exceptional, rooms have lovely fittings and are very clean. For the price, this is surely one of the best done Design hotels in Europe. Smichov is a really nice district with lots of bars and restaurants, I felt safe and the prices were low."

Smichov Hotels Prague

Smichov Hotels Prague

One of Prague's most under-rated districts, Smichov is home to many of Prague's best attractions, famous breweries and best value hotels. There are a wealth of superb hotels in the Smichov district of Prague, including luxury hotels and budget hotels. 

Below we will list the Top 5 Smichov Hotels, scroll down for a full review.
You can compare rates on every Smichov Hotel Prague at Compare-Hotels.co but for some extra, in depth recommendations and information you can follow the advise of this blog to find the best Smichov Hotel Prague for your Prague Holiday.
Smichov is also called "Prague Zone 5".

Location: As a district, Smichov is one of the most central and celebrated areas of Prague and plays a central role in the cities development. Currently home to the Staropramen and Pilsner Breweries, Smichov is understandably very attractive to stag group parties. However, the people of Prague themselves see Smichov as an area under regeneration, popular with artists and students alike.

Just south of Mala Strana and the Hrad, Smichov is also close to the Charles Bridge and stands on the western bank of the Vltava (Prague's river). This location makes it very popular for travellers as all of Prague is walkable within 20 minutes. However, even within this small district there are good parts of Smichov and worse parts. Smichov is home to many factories as well as a great outlet mall at Andel (also a metro station), basing yourself close to Andel is great for shopping as well as transport as it is also a major tram stop.

Recommendations:
Based on reviews of real life travellers, we have compiled a top 5 list of Smichov Hotels Prague. Prices based on 1 double room in September 2011.


This super hotel is the best place to base yourself in Smichov if you are looking for Olde-Worlde-Charm Mala Strana style, boutique style hotel but at a fair price. The General Hotel Smichov Prague is a 5 star hotel currently offering rates this September of €97 per double room.

The General Hotel offers many kinds of rooms and includes breakfast. The General is really close to the river which makes a beautiful walk each morning to the old town of Prague, the Charles Bridge or the Hrad.

A real favourite with past guests, the hotel scores 9/10 for customer satisfaction with many clients citing the excellent location, breakfast and super kitted out bathrooms as the main reasons to stay and to revisit this Smichov Hotel. 

#2 Angelo Hotel Smichov Prague

Another highly rated (9/10) Hotel by past customers. The Angelo Hotel runs a very close second and currently has rooms available for this September at €72 per double room. The Rooms are modern in design and individually styled with moden interior and bathroom. The underground station "Andel" is opposite the hotel.

#3 NH Praha Radlicka Hotel Smichov Prague

Currently €71 per double room, this 4 star hotel is another well located Smichov Hotel Prague. 134 Stylish guestrooms, the NH offers great luxury facilities including Wifi, Sateliite TV and conference facilities. The hotel is between a park and the river and just opposite (over the Vltava) Vysehrad. 24 Hour Room service and fresh, generous hearty breakfasts will set the morning up right.


#4 Moevenpick Hotel Smichov Prague

€74 per double this September, the Moevenpick is a well loved Smichov Hotel.
136 Rooms are available at this hotel atop of Smichov Hill, high speed wifi, air con, TV, minibar, the hotel has everything you would expect of a 4 star Hotel. A 5 minute walk from Andel and close to the Sacre Couer park, the hotel is well located in central Smichov and good for accessing all of Prague.

#5 Popelka Hotel Smichov Prague

For the budget minded, this traditional Czech hotel is just €45 per double per night. Just a 3 star but still a highly regarded hotel in the heart of Smichov. The Popelka Hotel Smichov is close to the Mozart museum and a 20 minute walk to the Charles Bridge, probably the least well located for the Stare Mesto and central Prague but still a great place to stay if you'd like to spend time along local Czechs and Praguites!

All the above hotels have en suite bathrooms and are well located for Smichov and the rest of Prague, prices are based on September 2011 and can go up as well as down.
