Stayed in a lovely one bedroom apartment. Clean and had everything we needed, more than enough for the four of us The hotel is lovely and staff very attentive. Used the pool which was a little cool and the sauna which was needed after a long day in the city. Superb position for easy access to the castle area and old town. Would stay again!

“Lovely hotel, very close to central old town”

The location of the hotel is excellent, about 20 minutes taxi (around 350-400 czech) from the airport. A short 10 minute easy walk to the old town and surrounded by shops, restaurants and bars, and the water and park within 5 minutes the other way. The room is large, with a hot, powerful show... more

The location of the hotel is excellent, about 20 minutes taxi (around 350-400 czech) from the airport. A short 10 minute easy walk to the old town and surrounded by shops, restaurants and bars, and the water and park within 5 minutes the other way. The room is large, with a hot, powerful shower, big big, large sitting area with fridge, freezer, microwave, kettle, ironing board, and really really excellent gym, and a moderate pool (which was always taken over by kids while we were there). Staff were helpful and welcoming. The pillows on the bed are TERRIBLE. We ended up using the sofa cushions instead which was a real disappointment. There is no coffee equipment, despite cups and kettle, which would have been a good addition. The air conditioning in the main living area is great, but it doesn't seem to control the bedroom which got hot and stuffy.

“The Golden & The Grey”

First the Golden: This apartment hotel is centrally located and walking distance to all of Prague’s major attractions. It is next door to and directly affiliated with the Intercontinental Hotel, which greatly brings up the rating. The staff at the Intercontinental are extremely pleasant and helpful, and Golden Prague guests use their facilites for free (a big plus for us since we usually seek to book at hotels with swimming pools). Room service is also available from the Intercontinental. We needed to change our reservation twice and the staff was flexible with us, so that was greatly appreciated. The housekeepers do a fantastic job and are not intrusive. Now for the Grey: We are a family of 3 and booked the Superior 1 bedroom apartment, which is suppose to be for 3. The apartment was much too small, although the small space could be made to function better if someone put some though into it. The sofa bed is a small twin bed the pulls out and it creaks like crazy with every move. There were only 2 chairs for 3 people, the bathroom has a half door which leaks all over the floor and the bathroom space is also poorly thought out and not functional. The pillows were like some kind of large deformed marshmallows. The kitchen was poorly equipped and had no type of coffee maker. There were also no mugs big enough for coffee or tea, just espresso cups. The biggest No-No is that the bedroom has no door! We can’t understand why there was no door but this made it simply like a room, not an apartment, which is exactly what we did not want. There was a TV in the “bedroom” but it was not hooked up, so we had to make several calls to get a technician to bring cables and connect it. The building was quiet except for one night when someone had a dog that yapped until about 3 a.m. The elevator is extremely small and slow, so we mostly took the stairs.

“Perfect for families and longer stays in Prague”

These apartments are attached to the Intercontinental Hotel and you actually check in at the hotel. There was a bit of a glitch when I got here as the automatic doors for the apartment block would not open from the outside (using the key card) or inside (using the motion sensor). Quite laughably, myself and another guest outside could not get in and a guest inside could not get out. It took around 30 minutes before it was sorted - I waited inside the hotel as it was quite cold outside. The concierge was very welcoming and came and found me when it was fixed. Hopefully, this kind of issue doesn't happen often. The room itself was really good. Nice and spacious, very clean and very quiet. Having a separate bedroom is good. Given the living room area and kitchen it is obviously geared up for those spending a little more time in Prague and wanting freedom to spend some time indoors and not having to eat out all of the time. A bit ironic as I was there for only one night. I would stay here if I was coming back to Prague.
