5/5 found this review helpful

This will probably be one of my shorter reviews as I would only be reiterating what so many people have said previously. Hotel fantastic value for money. Kristina could not have been more welcoming and even seemed impressed by the few words of Czech I had learnt ! Soon rumbled after the first sentence though!! Room was spacious and spotless. Faced onto street but not bothered by noise as mentioned in some previous reviews but that was probably more to do with the miles we walked and the twenty or so bars we tried out over the weekend.
Had breakfast at the hotel on the second morning and very good value for 3 euros and taken in lovely bright room. Nothing was too much trouble for Kristina - whatever you wanted to drink and a seemingly endless supply of toasties !!
Very easy to get to by public transport. Bus 100 from airport to Zlicin and then metro to Andel. As you leave train follow signs to bus station as entrances a little way apart. You then come out at the top of Vltavska from where 2-3 minute walk. You can buy a 24 hour ticket at the airport (transport desk) which covers you for this trip and then obvioulsy trams, buses and metro until same time following day. Be warned the ATMs at the airport give out very high denomination notes. However lady at the transport desk seemed completely unfazed when I purchased two tickets with the equivalent of a 60 pound note (couple before us did the same).
City is easy to get about although the cobbles can take their toll after a while !! Did the usual tourist bits i.e. the castle, the old town and Charles Bridge (note that there is building work going on either end at the moment which might spoil your photos a bit). Particulary enjoyed taking the funiculary up Petrin Hill to the tower and then walking round to Strahov Monastery. Great views over the castle and the town. From there pleasant walk down Lorentanska to castle. To prepare yourself for the day would recommend the Downtown cafe, Ujezd, next to funicular for a filling breakfast.
Tried a couple of the beer halls ( u Cerneho vola, Lorentanske namesti 1 and U Zlateho tygra, Hosova 17). Fab if you like beer as I do - not so good if you don't as my partner doesn't although they did manage to rustle her up some vodka at the first place). Favourite cellar bar - St. Nicholas Cafe, Triste 10 - mellow crowd and occasional live music.
After spending whole of second day sightseeing decided to spend the evening locally. Do try a couple of beers in the bar virtually next to hotel (can't remember the name) to get the feel of a local. Also U Buldoka, Nadrazani 46, good for same reason (just don't disturb the sleeping patrons!!). For a meal in nice surroundings would recommend the Grotta, Ostrovskeho 7. This is just up from the bus station and most definitely not the sort of place you would stumble across. Restaurant furnished in style of medieval cellar - brick walls and vaulted ceiling with lots of little alcoves for a romantic meal. Traditional food.Finished evening off with rather too many white russian cocktails in Koncept bar by main shopping mall on Nadrazni.

“Perfect”

Aparthotel City 5

Jan 25, 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

This hotel is perfect for a long weekend. All apartments are fully equiped with a kitchen, the rooms are spotless and very tastefully decorated. Tesco is just 5 minutes away so you can stock the cupboards. Perfect for families and young people. The tram stop is about 2 mins walk and these cover all the city, you can get a tram to the palace or Charles Bridge and be there is less than 10 minutes.

The Hotel arranged a taxi to collect us from the airport. The driver was waiting in the arrivals with our name on a card, this was such a nice touch.

Would praise this place and recommend it to anyone

We really enjoyed our stay at the aparthotel. Our room was clean and very comfortable. Kristina and Gastone are very nice and set up taxis to and from the airport, made us cappucinos and recommended restaurants to us. They were very friendly and helpful. The hotel is not in the city center of Prague but the walk to the old town was really pleasant. We really liked the neighborhood the hotel is in. There is a really cool pub 2 doors down from the hotel. We would stay there again.

“Spreading the Word!”

Aparthotel City 5

5 of 5 stars
Market Harborough
Jan 20, 2008

We have just returned from a wonderful three nights in Prague, which was arranged by our children as a present.

We took advantage of the offer by City5 to order a reliable taxi-driver to meet us at the airport and deliver us to the hotel. We arrived at 10 pm and there was an efficient young man in the building to greet us.

Gastone was there in the morning to supply us with a travel pass for the day. We used the pass ( about £3 per day per person ) to go by metro, tram and funicular. We mainly used the Andel tram stop which is a few hundred yards from the hotel.

You must stamp your ticket on your first journey of the day; we know someone who did not realise about this and was fined!

It is worth using the funicular and exploring the hillside at the top. There is also a restaurant near the top where you can have coffee or a special meal for a very good price.

Back at City 5, we went down to their cafe bar for breakfast the first morning, and were so impressed that we did the same each day.

It made a lovely start to the day to be greeted by Kristina, who is cheerful and funny and ready to chat. We had as much breakfast as we felt able to eat- a good start to a day of pounding the streets of the city!

The cafe bar is a lovely room to sit in- bright, modern, clean and with an internet link.

A beautiful old staircase led up to our appartment which was another clean, modern room. It was equipped with much more than we would have expected, having a microwave, small freezer,
and an alarm clock provided. There was also a box of tea bags, liquid soap, washing -up liquid, and kitchen roll. These were all quite unexpected.

All of this went a long way towards making our stay in Prague a great success.

“Good budget option”

Aparthotel City 5

4 of 5 stars
Brisbane, Australia
Jan 14, 2008

Gustav and Kristina are the hosts and they go out of their way to do anything to make your stay in Prague more comfortable. Their english is impeccable and it seemed to be mostly aussie and pommie guests while we were there. The rooms are newly furnished apartments with lounge and kitchen so you can self cater. The down side is that the bedroom is on the road side of the building and the traffic noise is pretty constant from about 6am, along with the constant glare into the room from street lights which we found to be a problem. The hotel itself is a short metro ride into the main train stations or city centre, or a short tram ride up to the castle hill. A huge shopping centre is just up the road including the biggest Tesco supermarket I've ever seen. It isn't a mega touristy area which has its up and down sides. No hordes of bus tours is good, but the streets around the hotel are a little dark at night and there are a few homeless dudes around. Nearly stepped on a syringe outside the Tesco too.............So as long as you're not a complete noobie when it comes to travelling Aparthotel City 5 is a good choice. I'd stay here again.
