Fancy apartments by Prague Castle

Fancy apartments by Prague Castle Overview

You know what? I was honestly skeptical when I first saw “Fancy apartments by Prague Castle” – the name felt a bit try-hard, if I’m being honest. But walking up Pohořelec street to number 13, I actually got it. This little stretch is quietly tucked away from the tourist madness, yet you’re literally a five-minute stroll from Prague Castle’s main gates. I mean, you can see the castle spires from some of the windows, which is pretty incredible when you think about it.

The building itself has that classic Prague charm – you know, the kind where you’re climbing slightly creaky wooden stairs but somehow it feels romantic rather than run-down. What really struck me was how quiet it gets at night, especially considering you’re this close to one of Europe’s busiest tourist sites. The apartments (and they really are proper apartments, not hotel rooms pretending to be apartments) have these wonderfully high ceilings and original hardwood floors that creak just enough to remind you you’re in a centuries-old building. The kitchens are actually functional too – I’m talking full-sized fridges and proper cooking equipment, not those sad little hotel kitchenettes with a broken coffee maker.

Here’s what nobody tells you about staying in Hradčany: mornings are magical because all the tour groups haven’t arrived yet. You can grab coffee from that little place on Loretánská (maybe a three-minute walk) and have the castle grounds almost to yourself before 9 AM. The parking situation is… well, it’s Prague, so good luck with that. But honestly, you don’t need a car here. The 22 tram stops right at Pohořelec – I actually love that tram ride down to the city center, it’s got these amazing views as you wind down the hill. The staff here seem to actually live in Prague (revolutionary concept, I know), so they give you real recommendations, not just the standard tourist trap suggestions. One guy told me about this tiny wine bar in Malá Strana that I never would’ve found otherwise. The 9.1 rating makes sense once you’ve stayed here – it’s not trying to be a luxury hotel, but it nails what it is: comfortable, authentic Prague living with an unbeatable location. Sure, the WiFi can be spotty on the upper floors, and don’t expect room service, but when you’re waking up to church bells and castle views, those things feel pretty insignificant.

Travelers should reserve a hotel in Prague at least two months ahead of their visit to ensure availability and secure better rates, especially during the peak summer season when the city hosts numerous cultural festivals and outdoor concerts.

Reviews of Fancy apartments by Prague Castle

• Superb – Michal_witalis from Poland – 12 July 2025 (9/10)

  Although it's basically just a single room, it was surprisingly more spacious than expected from the photos provided on Booking.com. Pretty modern and comfy. Great starting spot for "cruising" around Prague. 5 minutes walk from Hradcany castle. Easily accessible by tram from the Prague main railway station.

• Ideal if you want a quiet area that's not too far form the city centre. – Keith from United Kingdom – 30 June 2025 (9/10)

  Good sized apartment that was very clean and comfortable.
  Good communication regarding the entry code and other information about the apartment.
  Ideal if you want a quiet area that's not too far form the city centre.
  
  What could be improved: It is about a 20 to 30 minute walk to Charles Bridge but there is a tram stop directly outside that takes you to the centre and Ubers are reasonably priced, around £7-8, and readily available.
