Apartment Happy 11

Hotel Description

You know what caught me off guard about Apartment Happy 11? The name honestly sounds like something lost in translation, but once you’re actually there on Krakovská, it starts to make sense – there’s this quietly upbeat vibe that sneaks up on you. I mean, you’re literally a three-minute walk from Wenceslas Square, which sounds touristy until you realize that means you can grab those incredible trdelník pastries at 11 PM or duck into one of the late-night pharmacies that locals actually use.

The building itself is classic Prague – that beautiful worn stone facade that’s probably seen more history than most cities get in their entire existence. Inside, well, it’s a solid 3-star setup that doesn’t try to be fancy but gets the important stuff right. The apartments (and yes, these are proper apartments, not just hotel rooms with a mini-fridge) have decent kitchenettes, which honestly saved me a fortune since Prague restaurant prices can add up fast. The wifi actually works – I was streaming Netflix without those annoying pauses – and the heating keeps up with those brutal Central European winters. One thing though: if you’re a super light sleeper, pack earplugs. Krakovská isn’t exactly a busy street, but trams run nearby and Prague’s got this way of staying lively until pretty late, especially on weekends.

What really sold me on this place was how it sits in the city. You’re close enough to walk to Prague Castle (about 20 minutes if you don’t mind the uphill bit), but you’re also in this sweet spot where actual Czechs live and work. There’s a little grocery store around the corner where the cashier started recognizing me after day two, and this fantastic beer hall – U Fleků is the famous one everyone talks about, but honestly, the locals prefer the smaller places in this neighborhood. The 8.3 rating makes total sense once you’ve stayed here; it’s not trying to be the Ritz, but it delivers exactly what you need without the inflated prices of the super touristy areas. Plus, and this might sound weird, but the stairwell always smelled faintly of coffee and something baking, which just made coming “home” after long days of sightseeing feel really nice.

Reviews

• Comfy – Claudia from Germany – 13 July 2025 (9/10)

  Everything was very clean, had all the necessary things we needed for our stay. The apartment has a weird distribution but not less comfortable, all rooms have a door and comfortable beds, and the sofa in the living room is also a bed 🙂 and there were two fans, very nice for these summer nights
  
  What could be improved: The apartment is on the last floor (4th or 5th) in an old building so no elevator, and getting up the stairs was a bit tiring 😂 specially with the suitcases

• Good location, had everything we needed and comfortable. – Linda from United Kingdom – 24 June 2025 (9/10)

  Location was good, nice and clean and tidy and well stocked.
  
  What could be improved: 4 flights of stairs! And air conditioning would have been nice but appreciate the weather is not always that hot.

• For the ones that seek something very afordable and decent. – Saulean-milescu from Romania – 3 November 2024 (7/10)

  The location was close to the city center and all accessible by foot. Clean and with all you need,we only stayed for two nights with 3 children.
  
  What could be improved: The door to the bathroom(if you can call it a door) was an articulated plastic thing that does not offer any privacy.
  The tow bedrooms are pass-trough,so if you plan on sleeping in the middle one,you'll have guests from the last bedroom passing trought your bedroom. The lack of elevator was known as it does not count.

• Overall stay was reasonable comfortable – Vora from Australia – 21 August 2024 (8/10)

  Great location
  
  What could be improved: No lift and no air conditioning but had the fan was not as comfortable in a very hot day

• Superb – Smita from India – 26 July 2024 (9/10)

  What could be improved: 4th floor with no lift

• Good well managed apartment in a great location – Mary from United States – 20 June 2024 (9/10)

  Pretty good location (10 min walk to Wenceslas Square) smooth handover of keys, clean, sturdy powerful floor fans in bedrooms (a big plus for me!), responsive host, comfy beds. Washing machine was handy and easy to use. Apartment well stocked with light bulbs, shampoo, dish soap, trash bags, etc.
  
  What could be improved: Lots of stairs! Fourth floor walk up. Pebbled Glass door between kitchen/sitting room and first bedroom; so light goes through making it hard to sleep if someone’s up. We couldn’t figure out how to convert the sofa bed (but that probably says more about us than the bed, and when we messaged the host he quickly offered to come over and help us; we declined cuz it sounded like more of a hassle than it was worth to fix).

• Overall the property was good , prime location , value for money. Except the unpleasant experience of the water, host wa – Beena from Norway – 11 April 2023 (7/10)

  we had all the things required for the stay.
  
  What could be improved: Property is in the 4th floor and there was no lift available. it was really difficult to reach the property with luggage. Moreover, the hot water was not available in the morning due to technical fault and we had to bath in the cold water , few didnt as well. Our days plan was completely screwed and we started in the afternoon.

• excellent value for money – James from United Kingdom – 2 April 2023 (9/10)

  clean comfortable quiet
  
  What could be improved: the stairs

• Very good – Elif from Turkey – 17 October 2022 (8/10)

  It is just in the City Center, near the Old Town Square and other important touristic buildings so you can walk everywhere. If you don't want to walk it is also near the trains.
  
  What could be improved: There isn' t a lift so you have to climb the stairs with luggages:(

• Very good – Marco from Italy – 20 May 2024 (8/10)

  Great postion and value for money
