 | Prague Karlovy Lazne Reviews | 1 - 10 of 68 |  |
Karlovy Lazne, just off Charles Bridge, is not the experience it once was. Situated in an old bathhouse, it used to be a wonderfully shabby experience - all the peeling paint and smashed tiles made it feel like going to a party in a squat.
Alas, Western standards (and health & safety) has caught up with Karlovy Lazne, and the refurb has diminished it's cheap and cheerful atmosphere of old. It's still possible to dance in a drained swimming pool, except if you didn't know what it was, you'd just think it was a lowered dance floor.
There are still five floors of music, ranging from cheese to chill out, there's an internet cafe and foosball room in the basement. It's still pretty cheap and still draws a surprisingly mixed crowd, giving it's Tourist Central location.
Still a good time to be had - just go before they laminate it any further.
Bouncers don't really care what you wear. As with most places in Prague, the dress code is pleasingly relaxed after the petty, over-regulated clubs in England. Once you're through the metal detector, Karlovy Lazne is your playground. Just don't mess with people too much when you're bladdered - they'll tolerate drunken lariness, so long as it's not directed at other clubbers. Leave a Comment

KL is a large danceclub with multiple types of music on several different levels. There is something for almost everyone here. I personally did not like this club. The male to female ratio was about 5:1. I went only one time but it was enough for me. My friends went back every night we were in Prague (unlike me, they loved it). They said the male to female ratio remained consistent on consecutive nights. I didnt meet a single local here- only tourists, primarily Americans! No offense, but when in Europe I really dont want to hang out with Americans- I can do this at home.
The place was packed, no room to breathe, small dancefloors, rough crowd, aggressive men- just not my thing. The music was good, but the crowd turned me off.
Give it a try if you have time to burn in Prague. Everyone's perception is different. If your time in Prague is limited, definitely bypass this club in favor of Radost FX.

You have to like crowds - but four floors of dancing in a converted bathhouse makes Karlovy Lazne - the Charles Baths - an interesting spot in the center of Prague. Not all the floors are open every night, but weekends witness maximum attendance at this very popular destination for Prague's discobunnies. Each floor has its own sound: the ground floor hip-hop, the first floor commercial pop from the eighties to the present, the second floor classic eurodisco, and the fourth floor edgier trance sounds the hippest dj's. Karlovy Lazne attracts all types, ages, and nationalities - I heard ten different languages when I was there. The dance floors are in former swimming pools; tons of re-inforced concrete insure that no sounds "bleed" from one level to the next. It seems that the management consciously keeps the cover charge fairly low so that locals can afford to come, but on a warm summer night, it seemed like a "United Nations" of nightspots. (About the age thing: Fortysomething Yooperprof was comfortable enough on the third floor - Eurotrash disco - but felt out of place among the hip-hoppers on ground level. It is a youth-oriented spot, but those of us who are over thirty shouldn't necessarily let the young exclude us.) Leave a Comment

This night club is advertised as the biggest club in middle Europe. It is fairly large and there are several different rooms that play all kinds of music. From techno to hip hop to 80's music. There is something for everyone. Although the techno rooms seemed to a little less active but I did leave kind of early. The best room was by far the chill out room upstairs with the chill house music.

Karlovy Lazne is the biggest disco in Czech Republic ( according to a local travel-guide) :
5 floors for dancing, conveniently located just about 200 meters from Charles Bridge, and only a few meters from Smetana-museum
There seems to be no special dress-code, BUT rather a good security-check at the entrance ! Leave a Comment Theme: DancingDirections: about 200 meters from Charles Bridge, and only a few meters from Smetana-museum

Karlovy Lazne is advertised as the largest club in Central Europe which at 5 floors doesn't surprise me. It welcomes large numbers of tourists regularly and is usually very busy, it wasn't really my taste in music though.
There's a free internet cafe inside and games room, entrance 200 CZK Leave a Comment Theme: NightclubDirections: Next to Charles Bridge

If you read any travel guide, it will mention Karlovy Lazne - it is by far the most famous club in Prague. You wont find many locals here, however what you will find is most other nations represented in the huge crowd. The place is almost always busy, with it being cheap for a tourist trap, safe, and above all, fun.
Each floor has its own theme - whether you want to get down and dirty to some R n B, throw some shapes on the trance floor, chill on the bean bags on the 5th floor, or boogie on down to 70s nights you can do it all
Its hard to characterise the clientele of this club, as it all depends who is in the city when you go in - but everyone is there for the same reasons - get drunk and have a good time. When you get tired of dancing, there are computers to surf the internet on, table football and punching machines.
On the downside, the bar staff are prone to giving you your change and holding back 10kc and asking for it as a tip, but dont feel obliged too - only tip if you feel they deserve it.
Anything goes - from gorilla suits to smart casual!

The biggest club in town!
Different music styles on various floors (five), some really nice girls and the cheapest drinks I ever saw!

We chose to hit up a dance club that was located down by the Vltava River, next to the bridge going across to the Castle. I am afraid to point anyone there, because of the resent floods. It may be gone. But one thing that I am sure still can describe it, INTENSE. It was a multi level, multi room, labyrinth of a club. The lower level played hip-hop, the middle was hard trance, and the upper was disco. Of course, that is where the ladies were, and I hate disco.
