AVOID APARTMENT 2! The accommodation is average enough, for the price paid. You really can't get much nearer to Old Town Square! I was worried being so close to Tyn Church that I'd be kept awake by the bells and the tourist noise from OTS. Particularly as with recent hot nights, it was a choice between sleeping with the window open or next to a whirring fan (I chose the window). I needn't have worried; I can echo previous reviewers and was amazed it was so quiet. Because the windows face into the internal courtyard, much less noise gets in and down to your level. So those are the positives. Now the BIG NEGATIVE: Apartment 2 (the one with just one double bed and a tiny bathroom) has a wardrobe next to the bed and an upper window above it. This window has NO CURTAIN. In fact, there is no curtain rail, and because the wardrobe just fits in the wall space, they obviously don't intend to hang a long pull cord to open/close them. Result? Every morning at dawn (before 6), light comes streaming in through the semitransparent nets, leaving you with no chance of staying asleep! It's as bad as sleeping in a tent. So either AVOID APARTMENT 2, or be prepared and pack eye masks! I did register a complaint with the girl manning the Trips & Tickets shop, but I don't think she had the power to do anything about it, and I'm sure management will simply reply that it's an old building (which it is) and they can do nothing about it (which they can). I had no choice but to arrive after 10pm, for which they charge you a surcharge of 30 Euros (it's 50 after midnight) as they'll need to keep the Trips & Tickets shop open until you arrive, past their standard closing time of 9pm. (You can avoid this surcharge by booking their own airport transfer (25 EUR) which would then work out slightly cheaper, but this was fully booked on the night of my arrival.) Also, when it comes to opening the window to let the temperature drop below 25C, the ceilings are so high that if you want to open the upper windows (lesser security risk), you have no choice but to stand on the table and stretch! The other slightly bizarre thing is, it's a double bed provided, but with single duvets. Not only that, but they're about 3/4 the width of a UK standard single, so even if you're sleeping on your own, you're likely to toss and turn and throw it off, or leave a foot/leg hanging out in the cool air. The pillows also took a bit of getting used to as they are twice the plumpness under my head than I prefer at home (meaning I found my head was at an awkward angle sleeping). The bathroom is also particularly small. There isn't enough space to stand widthways next to the basin; you have to have one foot in front and the other straddling the corner of the bath! It would be better to do away with the bath entirely and just install a stand-up shower. By the way, when you do take a shower in the bath, the tap is a bit old and temperamental. The valve that switches between filling the bath and running the shower has a knack to it. The trick I found is to begin running the bath first, then pull up the valve (gently, or the top will come off in your hand) once the water is running, to run the shower. On a good note, the water system obviously feeds the entire apartment block as there was always piping hot water (hotter than I ever get at home!), and the Wi-Fi worked perfectly for me. The kitchen is adequately equipped. There are more plates and glasses than you should need, a good amount of utensils and cleaning products. There is no oven, toaster or freezer (except the ice box in the top of the fridge), but the microwave, double ring electric hob and kettle proved sufficient for me. They provide coffee, tea and sugar (so you’ll need to buy your own milk on arrival) and also salt. You wouldn’t expect continental satellite channels on the TV, but I found a good music channel playing Western rock & pop, and a classical and a jazz radio station for culture fans through the TV. The towels they supply are perfectly adequate for showering, unless you want to wrap yourself in a big sheet. I wasted space in my hand luggage bringing my own when it wasn’t necessary. Take note of the person who shows you which keys to use, there are about three, colour coded and you wouldn't want to forget which is which after a night on the town, or you could find yourself locked out all night! The missing curtain is the big thing lacking, otherwise the accommodation is fair for the price. As an aside, I would recommend the full day (All In One) Prague tour with Trips & Tickets. If you get Tomas, he’s an excellent tour guide and you get the best part of 6.5 hours with him (excluding the guided river cruise, which was also worthwhile). It’s expensive (about £45) but all the longer tours are, and you do get a traditional Czech cooked lunch.…
