U Kapra Apartments

U Kapra Apartments Overview

You know what caught me off guard about U Kapra? Walking up to Male namesti 14, I was expecting another generic apartment-style place, but this spot actually has character. The building itself sits right in the thick of Old Town – I mean, you’re literally steps from the Astronomical Clock, which honestly can be both amazing and slightly annoying when the tourist crowds hit around 11 AM.

The apartments themselves feel more like someone’s well-appointed Prague flat than a hotel room, if that makes sense. There’s this lived-in quality that I really appreciated – real coffee makers (not those pod things), actual wine glasses, and windows that open properly so you can hear the city waking up. The 4-star rating feels about right, though I’d say it leans more toward the “authentic local experience” side than the “fancy hotel amenities” side. Check-in was refreshingly straightforward – no hovering staff or over-the-top welcome speeches, just keys and helpful directions to the nearest grocery store on Celetna Street.

What really sold me on the place was the location intelligence, honestly. You’re on Male namesti, which means you can stumble home from dinner at Lokál or U Fleku without dealing with trams or taxis, but – and this is crucial – the building faces away from the main pedestrian flow, so it’s not like you’re trying to sleep above a medieval theme park. I stayed there during shoulder season in October, and even then the square gets pretty lively until about 10 PM, but the noise dies down completely after that. The 8.8 rating makes total sense when you factor in that you’re getting legitimate Old Town living without the chaos of being directly on the Royal Route. Plus, there’s something satisfying about having Wenceslas Square just a five-minute walk south when you want the bigger city energy, but retreating to this quieter pocket when you need to actually rest. Fair warning though – the nearest metro is Mustek, which means a bit of walking with luggage, but once you’re settled, you honestly won’t need transportation much since everything worth seeing is within walking distance anyway.

Reviews of U Kapra Apartments

• Aleksandr from Germany – 5 March 2025 (9/10)

  Amazing option to stay right in the very centre of old town of Prague, includes basically everything you may need, and it all just works with no issues!
  The place was really big, just so many space, very warm (not to say hot) but you can control the heating temperature. Also having a real working bathtub is such a big plus for a hotel for this price nowadays, absolutely a nice bonus for your holiday stay!
  
  What could be improved: Would be cool to have at least 1 wash machine tab, because during my short stay I had to use it once but just for this one use I had to buy the whole pack of tabs which I then just left in the property 🙂
  Also it can be a little bit noisy, especially if you want to go to sleep before 10-11 PM, obviously because its located in a very touristic place, but you should understand it before you choose such option. I personally had no issues with that.
