Das Eigentum — Fontána
The Fontána is a cheerful, practical 3-star in Prague’s Vinohrady district, a 15-minute walk from Wenceslas Square. The lobby is compact but bright, with a small bar and a friendly reception desk, and the real draw is the leafy courtyard where guests drink coffee in warm weather. Rooms are clean and minimal – think laminate floors, white walls, blackout curtains – with solid soundproofing given the tram line outside. It suits budget-conscious travellers who value a quiet, local neighbourhood over a historic hotel; everyone else is here for the honest price and the excellent tram connections to the centre.
Chroniken von Prague
Prague was founded around the 9th century as twin fortified settlements on the Vltava river, becoming the seat of Bohemian kings and later capital of the Holy Roman Empire under Charles IV in the 14th century. Its skyline, carved over centuries, blends Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque architecture – the Old Town Square alone holds the 14th-century Town Hall and a mix of burgher houses from every era. The city largely survived the Second World War intact but later suffered decades of neglect under Communism; since the Velvet Revolution it has emerged as a major European tourism hub, its cobbled streets crowded with visitors drawn to beer, bridges and Bohemian crystal. Today it is a vibrant, slightly chaotic city where medieval lanes meet modern galleries and tech start-ups – a place proud of its history but increasingly shaped by global tourism.
Beste Zeit zu besuchen
Vollständiger Prague-Guide →Die besten Monate
May and September: warm days (18-22°C), long evenings, outdoor beer gardens open and crowds thinner than June–August. City sights are less queued, and the parks such as Letná and Riegrovy sady are in full leaf.
Peak / Festival Surge
July is peak summer: 24-28°C days, huge crowds in Old Town and Charles Bridge, hotel rates around 30–50% higher than the yearly average. Events include the Prague Folklore Days (mid-July) and the city fills with stag parties and family groups; the hotel's courtyard is a lifesaver after the crush of the centre.
Budget Schulter Saison
April and October are the best budget shoulders: 8-15°C, occasional rain but sunny spells, dramatically fewer tourists and discounts of 20–30% on summer rates. Both months have surprisingly good beer events (Easter markets in April, Saint Wenceslas festival in September/October), and the hotel’s tram access makes rain-dodging easy.
Wetter & Verpackung
Prague’s July weather is unreliable: glorious, hot afternoons often slide into abrupt short thunderstorms or chilly evenings. Pack shorts and T-shirts but always bring a light rain jacket and a jumper for the evening and sudden downpours – leave the umbrella at home, locals wear hoods.
Live City Briefing veröffentlicht — Prague
- Prague’s long-awaited tram line extension to the airport is still delayed; the Airport Express bus (AE) remains the only direct public transport option (35 minutes, CZK 100). Use tram 7 from the hotel’s stop (Náměstí Míru) for a cheaper trip to the centre.
- The main Wenceslas Square renovation is mostly finished, but tram lines along the southern end (near National Museum) remain disrupted until late 2026; check PID.cz for live diversions when heading to I.P. Pavlova stop.
- July 2026 sees the reopening of the National Museum’s main building after a two-year partial closure for façade repair – the historical staircase and the new 'Czechoslovak Experience' exhibition open from 1 July, just before your stay.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Fontána, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Higher floors (3rd–5th) facing away from the street — less traffic rumble and better light. Request a south-facing room if possible for quieter outlook.
Rooms to avoid
Ground-floor rooms (1st floor by European numbering) and any room directly above the reception/bar — expect chair scraping, conversation, and cigarette smoke drift from the entrance.
Best views
Upper floor, east-facing rooms overlook the courtyard — muffled car noise but no memorable vista. South-facing rooms catch the sun but face a side street with occasional tram rumble.
Quietest floors
Floors 4 and 5 — furthest from street level and lift machinery. These are also away from the restaurant’s evening clatter.
🔊 Noise notes
Fontána sits on a main road in Prague 2 — trams run from 5am to midnight, and delivery lorries use the side alley. Ask for a room with secondary glazing (many have it).
Insider tips
1. Check-in after 2pm: the restaurant lunch crowd clears by then, so the lobby is calmer and you dodge the midday queue. 2. If you drive, skip the hotel parking (tight, expensive) and use the nearby P+R facility at Pankrác — a 10-min tram ride and £8/day.
- 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

Top-Attraktionen in Prague
💡 Skip the paid ticket if short on time—the grounds and Golden Lane (free after 6pm in summer) give you plenty.
💡 Go at sunrise for photos without the crush. Street musicians set up by 8am.
💡 Catch the clock show on the hour, but stand in the middle of the square—too close and you miss the moving figures.
💡 The beer garden has cheap half-litres and the best sunset spot in town. Bring cash.
💡 Take the funicular (same ticket as public transport, ~£1.20) up to save your legs. The views are worth it.
