From reading other reviews this b and b turned out to be exactly what we had hope and so I will not resay what has already been said .From the moment we arrived we couldn't have been better looked after, and we had 4 lovely comfortable nights. Our plane did not leave until late evening, and one of the sons... More

Our family of two grandparents, two parents, and two teenage boys spent a delightful weekend in Prague at this lovely house. The host, Mr. Jan Rippi, his wife Charlotta and son Jacob were so welcoming, gracious, and concerned for our comfort. We were greeted with fresh coffee (delicious), maps (accurate), and directions on what to see (all very interesting) and... More

We were in Prague for the wedding of our former exchange student. I made all of our arrangements and following trip advisors recommendations, booke our stay here. Wow!!! First of all, we like to stay at places that give a flavor of the country , not some big chain that cannot offer such a feeling. Tucked in past the American... More

As requested, we were met at the Prague airport by Tomas Rippl, a son of the owners of this fine B & B. After exchanging a few words in English, we discovered that Tomas is perfectly fluent in Portuguese & has visted Brazil several times. So after the long flight from Brazil, we were taken to the "Big Boot" &... More

Stayed for 4 nights at the start of May. We booked the hotel's transfer service from the airport to the hotel, and right from the start, our hosts were friendly and welcoming. Location wise, I think it would be hard to beat. The old town streets were frenetically busy with tourists day and night, and the area round Wencelas Square... More

I come to Prague regularly for work, and typically bring my family with me so that they can have a vacation. We always stay in the House at the Big Boot. In fact, it is one of the best B&Bs I've ever stayed at (and I've stayed at a lot of them). The biggest plusses for me are: 1. Big... More

Our family stayed here for 2 nights in May. Our hosts were fabulous and gracious, very helpful. We stayed in the first floor flat (2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms). We loved the breakfast: breads, meat, cheese, coffee, tea, plus egg & bacon. The location was wonderful for seeing Prague. Our hosts arranged a pick up for us at the Main... More

What you can expect: - Large room with antique furniture (Brass Beds and Ceramic Fire Place) - Safe location, in embassy area - Near to Prague Castle and Charles Bridge ( better than staying on the other side of the river) - Very friendly hosts - Modest Breakfast More

I stayed here for 11 nights with my wife and my mother and father joined us and stayed in another room for the same duration. We couldn't have been happier with our choice of bed and breakfast accommodation. Dum U Velke Boty really did tick every box. When my Mother and Father enjoyed a cigarette in front of the building,... More

I can thoroughly recommend this lovely, quirky bed and breakfast if you are looking for a short stay in Prague. It is very well situated, about a 15-20 minute walk from the old town across the Charles Bridge, in an area which is very quiet yet still central. The owners and staff were very welcoming, the hotel was spotless and... More
