Labyrinth apartments by Ruterra

Hotel Description

You know what? I wasn’t expecting much when I first walked up to Ve Smeckach 24 – it’s one of those classic Prague buildings that looks pretty standard from the street. But honestly, once you get up to the fourth floor where Labyrinth apartments sits, the whole vibe changes. The name actually makes sense when you’re wandering the halls; there’s this maze-like quality to the layout that’s kind of charming, though I’ll admit it took me a solid ten minutes to find my room the first time (and maybe I was a bit tired from lugging my suitcase up).

The apartments themselves are surprisingly spacious – I mean, we’re talking about Prague city center here, where most places feel like glorified closets. What really got me was how quiet it stays, even though you’re literally in the heart of everything. The windows do a decent job blocking out the tram noise from Wenceslas Square, which is just a few minutes’ walk away. Speaking of location, you’re basically positioned perfectly between the New Town buzz and Old Town charm. I could grab coffee at one of those tiny local spots on Vodickova in the morning, then be at the Astronomical Clock before the tour groups really descended – usually around 10am if you’re planning ahead. The building has that old-world Prague character with high ceilings and original details, but the apartments feel updated enough that you’re not dealing with temperamental plumbing or sketchy electrical situations.

What I appreciated most was how the place operates more like proper apartments than hotel rooms – there’s actual kitchen space where you can store groceries from Tesco (there’s one about three blocks down), and the staff genuinely seems to know the neighborhood. They pointed me toward this little wine bar tucked away on a side street that I never would’ve found otherwise. The 7.3 rating feels about right, honestly – it’s solid, well-located, and does what it promises without any major surprises good or bad. The four-star designation isn’t stretching it, but don’t expect luxury touches everywhere. It’s more like… comfortable and reliable? The kind of place where you can actually settle in for a few days and feel like you’re living in Prague rather than just passing through. Plus, and this might sound weird, but the morning light that comes through those big windows is really something special – especially if you snag one of the units facing east toward the quieter courtyard.

• Greygoose214 from United Kingdom – 19 May 2023 (8/10)

  A fantastic location. Very clean apartment with everything you needed for a holiday stay. Facilities were good. Nice comfortable beds and welll equipped kitchen. Although we didn't use it, it was good to see a washing machine available. Good instructions for finding the office and then getting into the apartment.
  
  What could be improved: Only small issues we had were the shower head didn't stay in position as it had become so loose and the heating seemed to be always on making it warm in the flat, even when turning it off at the boiler.

  The location is great, close to the most of main attractions in town
  
  What could be improved: The smell of mold and mold itself was everywhere, not very pleasant

• Denise from Malaysia – 5 September 2022 (6/10)

  Excellent location and the apartment was very large and spacious. There were more bedrooms and bathrooms than we had expected.
  
  What could be improved: The floors were pretty dirty and it was too hot as there is no air-conditioning or even fans provided.
