Prague for two days in late August with a toddler in tow. Tips? Accommodation recs?

My husband and I will be in Prague for two days at the end of August (as part of a side trip from a big wedding shindig in Vienna). We are looking mainly for a recommendation for somewhere to stay that would be reasonably accommodating to a 2 year old. Husband has been to Prague a couple of times, but not in the past ten years, so any tips on restaurants/bars would also be appreciated (do not have to be kid-centric). I've looked at the other Prague threads, of course, but none address children. Thank you!

Best answer: We stayed at the Domus Henrici and I would recommend it for kids. The rooms are really, really family friendly and they are extremely nice people. It's also a very quiet and manageable neighbourhood: right near the castle, you can walk out for coffee, snacks and trams on the square, and there's a bar restaurant two minutes up the hill that is just a local place that would be fine to take a toddler to. It would make an excellent base and they'll be very happy to help you with restaurants etc that will work for your family.

Response by poster: The perfect ask.me thread! One answer, which is awesome. Thanks, DarlingBri, that's exactly what we are after.

Marvellous! Enjoy it. The little local coffee place up the hill on the left is amazing, and in the block before you get to that, there's a toy store that sells handmade toys, too.

If they suggest the pig roasting restaurant, be warned: it's amazing and we ate there five times (we only had the pig once), but you'll want to go early. It's not really toddler-friendly during prime dinner time but it's empty before that and you'll be grand.
