Residence Dlouha – Old Town

Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about Residence Dlouha? It’s tucked right into this buzzing street in Old Town where you’ve got locals grabbing coffee at 7 AM and tourists figuring out their maps by 9 — but somehow the hotel itself feels like this calm pocket away from all that energy. I mean, Dlouhá street is literally where Prague comes alive, especially the stretch closer to the river, but step inside and there’s this immediate sense of… well, actually being somewhere that knows what it’s doing.

The thing about staying here is you’re basically in the heart of everything without paying those crazy Wenceslas Square prices. Honestly, I was skeptical about the 4-star rating at first — you see a lot of Prague hotels stretching their star count — but this place actually earns it. The rooms have this interesting mix of old-world touches (think exposed beams, the kind you can’t fake) with modern stuff that actually works. And I’m talking about things like the shower pressure and Wi-Fi that doesn’t cut out every time someone in the next room starts streaming Netflix. The beds are proper comfortable too, which matters more than people admit when you’re doing those 15,000-step Prague walking days.

What really sold me though was the location intelligence, if that makes sense. You’re a three-minute walk from the Powder Tower, but more importantly, you’re right near that cluster of amazing local spots that most tourists miss entirely. There’s this little bakery on the corner — I never caught the name but they do these incredible koláče in the mornings — and you’re close enough to Pařížská street for the fancy shopping but far enough away that you’re not drowning in tour groups. The Old Town Square is obviously right there (honestly, maybe a five-minute stroll), but here’s the thing nobody tells you: you can actually walk home at night without fighting through the crowds because Dlouhá has this slightly different vibe after dark. More locals, fewer drunk bachelor parties, you know?

The staff here gets it too — they’re not overly chatty but they know their stuff about getting around the city. When I asked about tram connections, the guy at reception didn’t just hand me a tourist map, he actually explained which stops to use depending on time of day and crowds. That kind of local knowledge makes a difference when you’re trying to get to Vinohrady for dinner or catch an early train from Hlavní nádraží.

I’ll be honest, it’s not perfect — the street can get a bit noisy on weekend nights (Prague’s nightlife is no joke), and if you’re expecting a big hotel lobby scene, this is more intimate than that. But that 8.7 rating feels right to me. It’s the kind of place that just works, where you stop thinking about the hotel logistics and start focusing on Prague itself. And in a city this beautiful, that’s exactly what you want.

Reviews

• Linda from Hong Kong – 17 September 2024 (9/10)

  Excellent location, less than 10 mins walk to Charles Bridge. The apartment is HUGE and newly renovated in modern style.
  
  It's situated in one of those historical buildings, yet with the new interiors, like I am having the best of both worlds. Seriously, book this, no regret!
  
  What could be improved: There is a night club downstairs, as I am from city, the noise is acceptable to me. I won't complain.

• Lynda from Australia – 26 March 2025 (9/10)

  Great location and wonderful place to stay, balcony was an added bonus and we all enjoyed the area and how close it was to everything. walkable city so it was great to be able to walk everywhere we wanted to go. The Spot restaurant downstairs was fantastic and very reasonable prices and delicious food and coffee
  
  What could be improved: A few items missing from cupboards that were mentioned in the paperwork we were given, the sofa bed wasnt' made up at first and I had mentioned 3 adults needed 3 separate beds in my booking request, but that was ok as we were able to get the extra sheets needed to make the bed up easily.
  A small milk in the fridge to start us off would have been nice too – most hotels/apartments do offer this
