Apartments U Krále Brabantského

Prague, Czech Republic
Thunovská 198/15, Prague, 118 00, Czech Republic

Overview

First Impressions

Thunovská is one of those narrow cobblestone streets in Malá Strana that feels like it belongs in a film set — and that’s exactly where you’ll find Apartments U Krále Brabantského. The name alone tells you something: it translates roughly to “At the King of Brabant,” a nod to the historic inn that once stood on this very spot. Walking up to the entrance, you get that immediate sense that you’ve stumbled onto something genuinely old Prague, not the polished-for-tourists version of it.

Location & Neighborhood

Honestly, the location here is hard to beat. You’re a short walk from Charles Bridge — and I mean a genuinely short walk, not the “fifteen minutes if you power-walk” kind. Prague Castle is practically looming above you, and the Lesser Town Square is just around the corner. Couples especially seem to fall for this spot, and it’s easy to see why — the streets around here are atmospheric in a way that feels almost unfair, particularly in the evening when the crowds thin out a little.

The Apartments

These are proper apartments, not just hotel rooms with a kitchenette squeezed in. There’s real space here, which makes a difference if you’re staying more than a night or two — you can actually spread out, store your things, and feel like you’re living in the city rather than just passing through it. The style leans into the building’s historic character without going overboard on the faux-antique look. It’s a four-star property, and the finish and fittings reflect that — well-maintained, thoughtfully put together, and comfortable in a way that doesn’t feel generic.

Breakfast & Practicalities

A continental breakfast is on offer, which works well here — you’re not far from some excellent Prague cafés if you want to supplement it, but having something waiting for you in the morning before you head out is a nice touch. Private parking is available too, which is actually worth flagging because parking in Malá Strana is, well, a challenge at the best of times. If you’re driving into Prague, knowing you have a spot sorted takes one thing off your plate entirely.

Why Guests Love It

The rating sits at 9.3, and couples in particular rate the location at a near-perfect 9.8 — which, if you know how hard it is to please people on travel review sites, is genuinely impressive. What seems to win people over isn’t any single flashy feature, it’s more the combination of things: a location that puts you right inside historic Prague, apartments that give you breathing room, and a building that has actual character rather than the kind that’s been manufactured for effect. Apartments U Krále Brabantského is the sort of place you end up recommending to people not because it ticked every box on a checklist, but because it felt right — like you were staying in the city, not just visiting it.

Beautifully renovated apartment above a mediaeval Tavern, the oldest brewery in the city. But the apartment is peaceful and quiet despite the Tavern below. Very tasteful and elegant. Very friendly staff.

Very unique and a great location. Close to the castle and with a 200-year-old Tavern below. We booked this for the experience and the location and was not let down at all by it.
You don't go to this sort of location and experience for you to use the cooking facility, it's about going out and living in the beautiful environment of old Prague.
