RiverView Palace Apartments

“Great place to stay!”

We visited Prague as a family with friends in December. We needed sufficient accommodation for 9 people in 2 apartments. We used their airport transfer service, which was excellent, and the same price as using a local taxi. You are taken to a hotel to pick up the keys. We had a bit of a hiccup, as one family had been 'upgraded' to a different location. After a lengthy discussion, we were able to have both families in the same location. The apartments are big, and fairly sparsely furnished. But the heating was excellent. (We had to turn it down). The kitchen looked adequate, although we chose to eat out. The bathroom was fine, but the shower was a bit feeble. It was about a 20 minute walk to the main old town square, but if you get your act together, there are trams that get you almost there in a few minutes. (You have to buy tickets at local tobacconists). There were a couple of groups of other young men, who were on a bit of a different mission and timezone to us. But actually their noise was only brief as they came in or went out. Would be very happy to stay here again.

“Lovely Rooms, close to Prague Centre.”

We visited Riverview palace apartments as part of a stag and they were very accommodating for 18 persons. The rooms are lovely and very clean. The windows open very wide which allows a nice amount of breeze to enter, considering the fact it was 30 degrees when i visited June 1-4th. The kitchens ... more

We visited Riverview palace apartments as part of a stag and they were very accommodating for 18 persons. The rooms are lovely and very clean. The windows open very wide which allows a nice amount of breeze to enter, considering the fact it was 30 degrees when i visited June 1-4th. The kitchens contain everything you need to cook, however i would avoid using the toaster (it looked more greasy than a back of a donner shop). The only issue i can say is they only provide 1 towel per person regardless on time of stay, as you can imagine 4 days using the same towel could get pretty grimey. However, i prepared for this luckily and brought another towel just to be safe. One thing is that there is no AC available, the thermostat is there, however it is not functional. The only bad thing i can say is the stairs are not maintained at all. There is sharop metal sticking out on the railings of the stairs, which had sliced 4 people in our Group. Also, the buzzers never worked outside the building, so with 2 keys to each apartment and many people from the group returning at all times off the night, it became frustrating that we would have to wait sometimes up to an hour to get in the building.

“GREAT VIEWS, GREAT LOCATION”

8 friends and I have just returned from Prague and had an absolutely amazing time. After some slight confusion as to which apartment block we were actually staying in, we finally found the reception and collected our keys. We were staying on the top floor, and be aware that there are A LOT of stairs, though there is a very small lift, which fits about 2 people in, 3 at a push. The apartment was simple, spacious, had great views and everything we could’ve ask for. There were 9 of us in total and there was enough room for 12 so we had plenty of space. I cannot say enough about the views from the balcony, amazing views of the Dancing House and the river. Unfortunately, the patio doors that led out to two of the balconies were screwed shut, and had notices saying that they were “CLOSED DUE TO MAINTENANCE”, which was a huge shame, especially when the lounge/dining room got too warm. Although mostly clean, I will say that the apartment does need some work. A lot of dust and cobwebs on the high ceilings and the furniture is quite worn. The floor tiles in the main bathroom are cracked, which would be painful to stand on if getting out of the shower / bare foot. There is one wardrobe to hang clothes in, which for 9 people, staying for 5 days, caused a slight problem. The location of Riverview Apartments is great. Roughly about a 10 minute walk from Charles Bridge, 15 mins to Old Town and about 10 mins to New Town. There are some great bars and restaurants around the apartment also, if you don’t fancy walking into the centre. Definitely worth a visit and perfect for a big group of friends. We will definitely return!
