I have been a regular guest at Miss Sophie's Downtown in Prague for almost two years now. Indeed, it is the only hotel I ever stay at in that city, unless it is fully booked. So I was curious to see how the Olomouc branch compares with it Let me start by saying they are quite different. What they have in common is the very friendly and helpful staff. In Prague they are from many different nations and the lingua franca is English, whereas in Olomouc I had the impression that they were all Czechs, which was good for me as I am learning Czech and was able to practise speaking it with them at reception and breakfast. Needless to say they all speak excellent English for those who are not so mad as to try learning Czech. The room (no 2) was on the firsr floor and was perfectly acceptable, perhaps trying a little too hard to be "boutique" style. To be honest i prefer the rooms in Prague. The (walk-in) shower appeared to have been hewn out of rock in the wall but performed its function spendidly. The main problem (for me at least) was the noise from the trams passing by outside every few minutes (except for a few hours in the dead of night). Light sleepers be warned. Try and get a room on the other side. I appreciate that it might not be problem for most people, but I'm afraid I need absolute quiet at night. There is no lift (I knew about this beforehand), but one of the kind young ladies from reception carried my very heavy case up the stairs (I am 66 and have weak arms). I didn't catch her name but thank you whoever you are. It is probably neither feasible nor permissible to install a lift. Breakfast was OK but it is not a self-service, all-you-can-eat buffet like in Prague, So only 4 stars. I would definitely stay here again were I ever to return to Olomouc. The location is ideal, right in the centre and 5 minutes by tram from the railway station. But I would have to have a room away from the street.
