Old Town – Templova Apartments

Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Old Town – Templova Apartments on a quiet cobblestone street, you immediately get that “I’m really in Prague” feeling. The building itself has that classic Central European charm — nothing flashy, but it fits perfectly into the historic neighborhood. What struck me right away was how central everything felt, even though Templová street maintains this surprisingly peaceful vibe despite being steps from all the major sights.

Location That Actually Delivers

Honestly, I’ve stayed in plenty of places that claim to be “in the heart” of Prague, but this three-star property actually lives up to the hype. You’re literally a three-minute walk from Old Town Square — I timed it because I’m that kind of person. The astronomical clock, Týn Church, all those postcard-perfect spots are right there. But here’s what I really appreciated: you can duck back to your apartment between sightseeing sessions without dealing with trams or long walks. That’s gold when your feet are killing you after climbing up to Prague Castle.

The Apartment Experience

These aren’t hotel rooms in the traditional sense — they’re proper apartments with everything you need for a longer stay. My unit had a small but functional kitchenette, which came in handy for morning coffee and storing those amazing Czech pastries I kept buying. The space felt lived-in rather than sterile, if that makes sense. Everything worked well and the Wi-Fi was solid. The windows opened onto the street, and I actually enjoyed the occasional sounds of people walking by — it felt authentic.

Practical Perks

One thing that surprised me was finding parking available on-site. If you’re driving in Prague (which honestly I wouldn’t recommend for the city center), this is actually a huge deal. Most places in Old Town either don’t have parking or charge ridiculous amounts for it. The staff was pretty helpful too — not overly chatty, but they knew their stuff about getting around the city and where to find good local spots that aren’t tourist traps. There’s also a restaurant nearby that the staff recommended, which turned out to be excellent.

Why Guests Love It

Look, this isn’t going to wow you with fancy amenities or over-the-top service, but it nails the fundamentals. The location really is exceptional — I mean, couples rate it 9.5 out of 10, and after staying there, I totally get why. You’re in the thick of everything historic and beautiful about Prague, but you’re not paying five-star prices for the privilege. It’s perfect for people who want to spend their time exploring the city rather than hanging around their accommodation. Just don’t expect a concierge or daily housekeeping — this is more about having your own little Prague base than being pampered.
