The room was small but tidy, comfortable, with a good, modern bathroom. The hotel is located in a building that dates to the 14th century, but everything was comfortable and cozy, and the location can't be beat.

You cannot get a better place for a hotel in Prague than Hotel Cerny Slon. It's right in the middle of the Old Town. The staff were very polite and courteous. They helped whenever I needed it. I never tried the breakfast buffet so I can't comment on that but the dinner I had was to a very high standard. The room I was in was very spacious and had a lovely medieval feel to it, with it's timber ceiling, even though it had contemporary features. Overall, I would highly recommend Hotel Cerny Slon to anyone that was going to Prague.
