We were using a few different internet sites to find our hotels on this journey, and when the Botel Matylda popped up, we were a little confused. "What is a Botel?" Well, it's short for BOAT-Hotel! We weren't really sure what we were getting ourselves into, but that's never stopped us before!
The Matylda is, by far, the coolest place we have ever stayed. The owners must have spent millions of dollars, ah, we mean Crowns, on rebuilding this boat. It just opened 6 months ago. The top deck is an Italian restaurant, the food is awesome. Dark wood everywhere, warm leather chairs and booths, and all the windows open fully to get a perfect breeze blowing through.
This is where we had breakfast each morning (and a glass of wine each night)!
It sits on the East bank of the Vltava River, near the Dancing Building. It takes about 10 minutes to walk to the Charles Bridge, which was a good thing with an Italian restaurant attached to where we were sleeping! The rooms on the boat are small, but ours had two windows looking across the Vltava River at the Prague Castle - think we were wishing for more room? No way! There were ducks outside our windows each morning, the owners would feed them the old bread. The ducks liked the Matylda as much as we did.
If we had an extra $5 million, we would buy a boat like this and run our own botel! Well, if we had $5 million, we would just stay at the Matylda when we visited Prague!
