Over the centuries, the city has undergone significant transformations, from its Gothic and Renaissance periods to the Baroque and Art Nouveau styles that dominate its architecture today. In 1992, the city was designated a UNESCO City of Design, and it continues to be a hub for innovation and creativity, with a thriving cultural scene and a plethora of museums, galleries, and festivals. This vibrant city has a unique blend of medieval charm and modern sensibilities, making it a fascinating destination for visitors.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Amfora, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on a higher floor (above 3) to minimize noise from the street. Given the hotel's location on Dukelská street, which is a relatively busy street in the city center, being higher up will help reduce the noise level. Also, consider rooms facing the inner courtyard for a quieter experience.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the ground floor, especially those near the service entrance or lift, as these areas tend to be noisier due to staff and guest traffic.
Best views
Unfortunately, the address on Dukelská does not offer a traditional 'best view' in the classical sense. However, rooms facing the inner courtyard may offer a quieter and more peaceful atmosphere.
Quietest floors
Floors 4-6 are likely the quietest, as they are higher up and away from the street noise. However, this depends on the specific layout and design of the hotel.
🔊 Noise notes
Be aware that Dukelská is a busy street with traffic, pedestrian, and potential noise from nearby restaurants and bars. Earplugs may be a good idea for light sleepers.
Insider tips
Arrive early for check-in to secure parking, as spaces can be limited in the city center. Request a room with a minibar if you need a fridge, as not all rooms come with one. It's worth asking when booking or checking in.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
