The first mentions of the house, sometimes also called Altmann House or House At the Kings Magi, date back to the 14th century when, in this locality, the Augustinian Order founded the first Monasterial Brewery of St.Thomas. The only reminder of this period preserved until today is a large Gothic cellar. In the first half of the 17th century, the house was reconstructed in the Rennaisance style and given the name of House At the Three Storks and a house sign with the embossment of three storks.

Today´s appearance of the facade comes from the Classicist reconstruction in 1794 and 1820, when the connection with three neighbouring buildings resulted in the current aspect of the whole house. The facade with the house sign on a stone plaque and the main portal date precisely from this period.

In the 1930´s, the history of the renowned Wallenstein restaurant, named after famous Czech aristocratic family and frequented by number of well-known personalities, started evolving in this house.

The name of the House At the Three Storks has its implication. The stork used to be a carrier of good news and blissful home. We strongly believe that every visit to this house will comply with the Latin saying originally placed under the house sign: Frustra mundus invidet, quando Deus providet - The world envies in vain, when God takes care.

We offer you a singular and original ambient designed by AI DESIGN architectural studio in cooperation with Eva Jiricna Architects atelier in London, sensitively set in the premises of the historical house At the Three Storks, thus creating perfect harmony between the extant Renaissance interior and the most advanced design. During the reconstruction of the house, major emphasis was put on application of clear line and combination of natural materials, metal, stone, glass and wood. Highly unconventional interior design may be found in the hotel reception and lobby bar dominated by a reception desc and a bar, both made of illumined cut stone. Another interesting feature is a panoramic lift finely incorporated in the old architecture, faciliating access to individual guest rooms.

All guest rooms are comfortably designed according to the latest fashion, while sensitively set in the premises of the historical house At the Three Storks. Extant painted wooden ceilings remind us of the overall Rennaisance and Boroque reconstruction of the house. The windows offer beautiful view over Prague Castle and Lesser Town rooftops. The rooms´ cosiness is underlined by original graphics by important Czech artist Adolf Born. All rooms have luxury bathrooms, with a tub or a shower, remarkably incorporated into the space. The rooms are equipped with individually adjustable air-conditioner, minibar, digital safe and direct dial telephone. In order to make the guests´s stay more enjoyable, LCD TV sets with satellite reception and DVD players with large offer of films have been installed in each room. Not only bussiness clients may avail themselves of internet with high-speed Wi-Fi connection (PC available for borrowing) and all kinds of secretary services. The guest rooms´ as well as all public areas´ equipment meets the EU safety and fire protection standards.

We stayed At the Three Storks for 3 nights and are in the process of booking a return trip. The hotel is very modern and luxurious but not without character unlike others as it is a converted brewery. The general hotel facilities were very good and the staff were frendly and helpful. We stayed in a superior room which was every bit the same suggests. It was large and spacious with exceptional fittings including under floor heated bathroom and a good size 32" Sony LCD. The hotel breakfast was a little basic (european) so dont expect a full english! This however is not a bad point as the hotels main restuarant more than made up for this fact. We only wish we had found this out before we went out to eat in other restuarants in the city. Prague itself is a wonderful city and well worth visiting. The hotels location is good and within walking distance to the main attractions.

Estuvimos en este precioso hotel 3 noches de Octubre pasado. Nuestra habitación estaba en tercera planta, y por la ventana teniamos una bonita vista de la plaza y de una parte de la colina del castillo. La situación del hotel es excelente, nada ruidosa, perfecta para pasear y tambien si quieres usar el metro. La habitación doble standard no era muy amplia, nada que ver con las publicadas, pero con espejos y tan modernamente decorada que conseguia no hacerse agobiante. Muy bien el cuarto de bano, especialmente la amplia cabina de ducha. El desayuno bastante variado, sin echar nada en falta; pero el café bastante malo. La gente del staff era bastante amable y me ayudaron cuando se lo pedi para unas reservas. Puede que no cumpla las expectativas de un 5 estrellas, pero el precio era muy razonable. Una muy agradable estancia en Praga. Enviado por Octavio, Madrid (Espana)

The room was lovely, quite large by European standards and large even by US standards. The room is decorated in a very modern style, that included a large plasma tv, refrigerator, free WiFi. The room had a large king size platform bed, a wonderful couch and lots of room to move around. We were quite centrally located, very close to lots of embassies. As a result there were a number of excellent restaurants to choose from close to the hotel. The castle was straight up the hill from our hotel, and the charles bridge was a quick five minute walk. While in a non-touristy area, it will still very easy to access all the sites. The staff was friendly (though there wasn't anyone to help with our bags), however there is a lift. I am quite picky about my hotels and this is one I would go to again!

I ended up here by accident. I had booked the Hotel Waldstein next door and there was an error in the reservation so they put me in this hotel. I give high marks to the Waldstein desk for their response. The Three Storks is a lovely property--newly renovated and tastefully done. The service was exceptional and the staff could not have been more accommodating. The room was very nice and the hotel location was superb. However, the A/C did not seem to work terribly well and the room felt stuffy. I was only in the room for sleeping so did not ask for a change. The biggest disappointment was the breakfast which was not especially interesting and the coffee was bitter and not hot. The breakfast in Cesky Krumlov was far better. Overall, my experience was good--especially since I paid a much lower rate. They need to sort out some of the details to be really top-notch.

I'll start by saying that I doubt we could have got a better hotel in Prague for the money. The staff were extremely helpful and courteous and the service at breakfast was impeccable. The location was spot on (just at the end of the Charles Bridge in the Lesser Quarter) and the room was large and modern. The beds were very comfortable and the shower fantastic. Do you really need anything else? Well you got it anyway.... An LCD TV and DVD Recorder, free WIFI, underfloor heating in the bathroom, an electronic safe (large enough for a notebook), a reasonably priced mini-bar and variable heating & aircon. The lighting was impressive too with an under-bed glow, trendy adjustable power strips and some nifty bedside angle-poise lamps that gave off a purple aura in the dark (don't worry if all that sounds a bit tacky - it wasn't!) One slight disappointment was that the hotel was empty apart from ourselves. As a result the advertised buffet breakfast became a personal waiter service (with your order being requested the night before) and the dining experience was a bit 'lonely'. All of the staff were friendly and spoke good English and I was presented with a complimentry bottle of Czech champagne on my birthday which was a nice touch (though a request for some toilet paper was difficult to get across and I wasn't resorting to sign language!) A minor flaw was the lack of cleaning staff. I can understand the hotel being understaffed given the absence of guests but the room was only visited by a cleaner once during our 4-night stay (though the very lovely manageress was apologetic and we were given fresh towels within 1 minute of mentioning it). It sells itself as a 5-star hotel but that's stretching it a bit (it's more like a good-4*) but then again you're not paying 5-star money. All in all a fantastic hotel (and worth staying just for the glass lift that starts inside but goes out!) Willy Wonka eat your heart out! Would we stay there again? Definitely! Would we recommend it to others? Without a doubt. As for Prague, we can't wait to go back - though we'll be more wary next time (forget the well-advertised pick pockets as the main threat to your wealth - it's the 20% service charge, bread and cover fees that will get you first!) Also, don't expect two very similar looking restaurants in the same area to charge roughly the same - there can be a huge difference in prices between them. My advice would be to shop around. We found places (eg. Stara Praha in Praha 5) that did an excellent three course dinner, including a couple of beers and bottle of wine for around L20 in total, yet there were others that wanted up to L100 for the same. It's similar with the bars with some charging 20CZK for a 50cl beer but others charging 90CZK for the same 'pint'. You pays your money.....
