What people say about us
Your feedback is very valuable to us. Read what our guests had to say about staying in the Unitas Hotel on Tripadvisor .
"The Unitas was a perfect hotel for us. It is very centrally located but also very quiet. The room was quite spacious and super clean and comfortable. The breakfast is fantastic, the staff very helpful and friendly. The Unitas is also an exceptional value and we highly recommend it. Finally, it has an interesting history!"
"I can't say enough good about our stay in the Unitas Hotel! The front desk staff is welcoming, friendly and very helpful. When we arrived we were treated to a wonderful glass of wine as we checked in. We reserved a Classic Double room but for some reason we were given a junior suite at the price of the double room! It was so luxurious and comfortable with a huge and well equipted bathroom, a living room area and a large bedroom. We felt so pampered! The breakfast was awesome with a huge variety to choose from and the staff was attentive. The Hotel is located near the Theatre which is a good landmark in finding the Hotel after a day of exploring the city. You also catch the #22 tram there to go to the castle and Cathedral. There are several restaurants nearby, one that we went to several times. We walked everywhere we went in Prague, except the Castle, and the hotel was in a good location to be able to do that. This hotel was by far the best place we stayed on our three week adventure in Europe!"
Rich History
Founded by the Jesuits at the beginning of the 18th century the building formerly served as a monastery next to the church of Saint Bartholomew. Seventy years after the abolition of the Jesuit order the buildings were gifted to the Congregation of the Grey Sisters of Saint Francis in order to conduct their charitable work. It remained this way for another hundred years up until the year 1950. With the rise of the communist regime in Czechoslovakia the whole complex was seized by the State secret service. They converted the premises into their headquarters, prison and a shooting range. Among the incarcerated was the future Czech president Vaclav Havel.
In the year 1992 the building changed into Pension Unitas as to help the Grey Sisters accumulate the funds needed for the renovation of the building after it was left in ruin by its previous inhabitants. On of the most exciting events of this time was the visit by His Royal Highness Charles the Prince of Wales. The year 2006 was the last year of business for the pension before reconstruction. From the year 2008 here stands the Unitas Hotel ****.
