If you're eager to try the whole floating hotel thing, then the moderately priced Botel Albatros may float your proverbial boat. This 86-room, boat-hotel is docked on the Vlatva River, just east of the Stefanikov Bridge, on the border of Staré Mesto and Nové Mesto. Keep in mind, you have to cross a fairly busy thoroughfare to get to the boat. (There is a crosswalk).
Rooms, doubles and triples, are a bit tight, a bit dated, and a bit brown. But all are clean and come with private facilities. Walls are covered in wood paneling, and furnishing consists of a bed, stool, table and mirror along with a small television and a rather dated telephone. A room facing the water is preferable to one facing the parking lot and street. Not only is the view better, but rooms are quieter too.
However, the boat's common areas are more pleasant and spacious, with large windows overlooking the Vlatva. The comfortable bar area, filled with cushy blue chairs and booths, leads to a terrace. The restaurant serves international and Czech cuisine.
