Old Town Apartments, Prague

Hi Me and my girlfriend spent a wonderfull weekend in Old Town Apartments' RiverView apartments. The apartments are located right on the riverbank next to the famous "Dancing" building. The furnishing of the apartment was new and very comfortable and the kitchen had all appliences that we needed (including an iron and ironing board). We have really enjoyed our stay and will be back for sure. If you are searching for centrally located spacious apartments with a view - you definitelly have to try the RiverView residence. Matt

The view from the balcony was worth $1,000 a night and we paid $300/night for very comfortable acccomodations for 4 people. The apartment was advertised as 1,600 SF, but they should have added some as the ceilings were 17 feet tall and the view out the floor to ceiling windows made the place feel enormous. This apartment anywhere else in the world would sell for $2 million. We felt like four kings. I would highly recommend the company and would automatically search their inventory before booking another European vacation. The unit was 53 Riverview in Praha 2, it was the best in the building because it had the only balcony on the building.

Our family of 6 has stayed in apartments all over Europe and had wonderful experiences with them. Not this time. We stayed 5 nights in the Old Town B51 Exclusive. Their driver that picked us up from the train station was rude, unfriendly, and unhelpful. When we arrived at the apartment, half the lights didn't work, the TV didn't work, and door handles were falling off the doors. He said he would send someone out the next day. (great plan) We were told their office was opened 24 hours a day if we needed them. The problem, the office is located 20-25 minutes walk to the other side of the river, and there was no phone in the apartment (no alarm clock either) For those of us from the US this is a problem as our cell phones generally don't work in Europe. By the way I ended up fixing the lights in the apartment, the TV never worked, but they did fix the door handle. On our fourth night we had the joy of no hot water. There was a note (the fact there was a note tells me this happens often) stating if no hot water contact the office. See above, the office is a hike and no phone . . . we ended up going to a pay phone. The office was closed. We called the emergency number. We reached a man that was totally overwhelmed with other phone calls in the background. He said they would try to get to us the next day, and then hung up on us. Wow, great service! I ended up resetting the water heater -- good thing I figured it out because they never can to fix it! I should also mention, when we arrived home in the US a couple of days later, there was a message from the man that hung up on us wanting to talk about fixing our hot water problems. Bottom line, if you are still considering staying at Old Town apartments you need to be aware of the following . . . Amenities they claim to include, come with a cost. Bring your own TP, or figure out how to make 2 rolls last for 5 days with 6 people. If you go in the summer, bring your own fan because they will charge you handsomely for use of one, and there is no A/C. Although they claim to supply internet service, our apartment did not have it. If we wanted to spend our vacation time setting up a complicated wireless system and then pay a daily charge we would do it. There is a security deposit that you must pay that was never mentioned when making the reservation. By the way, when we asked about an alarm clock, we were told they couldn't put one in the apartment because it would be stolen. I would think the $300.00 security deposit would cover that . . . my advice, anything else would be better than Old Town Apartments.

We stayed at the 'Museum' 1 bedroom apartment in May 2006. The pick-up service from the airport worked very well. The place was clean and very well equipped. There was enough bedding for all of us (4 adults, one 3-year old). The location was excellent: walking distance to the city centre and there was an underground station in the same block when we wanted to go further. The only down side were these British people staying in the same floor for the first two nights, they were incredebly noisy during the nights! But i would definetely stay here again!

This was first time I chose self catering apartment. Even though I was little nervous the stay was great. The staff was very helpful and answered all my questions. I was also worried that handing over keys will slow me down, but I ordered a taxi through this company and the driver took me directly to my apartment and was even able to accept credit card payment inside of the apartment. Since this company has apartments in many European cities I will try one of the other cities next year.

First I could not believe that I could get accommodation for 9 people in the center at the price lower than EUR 200/night but this company has arranged a very nice apartment just in the center of Prague Old Town even for less. I suggest this company to everybody who is looking for centraly located apartments at reasonable prices.
