Prague apartments accommodation - apartments in Prague historical centre - alternative to hotels in Prague

Christmas in Prague - TWO STAYS Xmas 2010 and Jan 2011 We stayed twice at Residence Karoliny. The first apartment we stayed at over Christmas was great. We arrived in Prague two days late - and our first night at Karoliny had to be cancelled. The delay was after arriving in London from Sydney Australia just in time to be held up by snow at Heathrow (for two days in row). After seeing the very pretty 1 hour snowstorm in London - that closed Heathrow for four days - we gave up on plane travel and 'bussed it' for 22 hours ... and not on one of Czech's high quality 'student buses' ... Why mention this - well Prague City Apartments were great about this change - and told us not to worry - in the ende there were no cancellation fees even though their apartment was empty the night we failed to arrive. There was a charge of AUD $14.89 (1560 Koruna) and that was it when the lost night was changed to another night in January. Our "Christmas home" for six nights was a really lovely apartment with a really nice little snowy balcony looking into a fascinating courtyard

First time Prague the bedrooms were comfortable, but the whole flat had a shabby appearance. Our bedroom wall was sprayed with some sort of liquid, the walls general were dirty and desperately need a coat of paint. A disappointment when compared to the lovely photos on line. Some things were not working so we needed the office and technician to come by. Flat is need of some touch ups. As we were there for six days it would have been nice to have a change of towels. We arrived on the weekend and suffered from some wild partying in adjoining flats. could not open back windows due to loud air conditioner. Need to let renters know that Karlova street is a main tourist through fare which we found overwhelming, noisy and exhausting. For some this maybe okay but we found it disconcerting.

We really enjoyed our stay in Prague and the rooms were lovely. I would like to point out that the instructions for use of the TV, etc. did not work with the remote that was in our room (photo showed one type of remote and ours was not the same). I would definitely stay with you again! Regards, Violet Romer

Great Trip from Start to Finish! We have been living in Europe as expats for the past few years, and have done quite a bit of travelling/staying in apartments. We have had everything from wonderful to dreadful experiences. Thankfully, our experience with Prague City Apartments was the best that we have had to date! We had actually booked a hotel room in the city, and then found the listing for Residence Karolina, which was half the price. We promptly cancelled our hotel room, and hoped for the best. Prior to our trip, questions emailed to the PC office regarding parking and other details were responded to promptly. We then received a message that we had been upgraded to a two bedroom unit, which was a very pleasant surprise. Upon our arrival, the check in and garage parking process was seamless, and we were escorted around the corner to the apartment. We found the building to be beautiful and historic, but were pleased to find a thoroughly well-equipped, modern apartment. Actually, our kids said that they would be ready to just mov
