Great location and hospitality.
My group of friends and I really enjoyed staying at the Hideaway for a week. Here are my thoughts on the pros and cons.
Pros:
Location. Just steps from the Old Town Square, Karlova Street, bars, restaurants, shopping malls. Even street car #22 that runs up to Prague Castle is just around the corner. Being in the midst of it all was just right for us… though as the parties on the street right below went on to 3am some nights, it’s more of a place for a group of friends than for a family.
Service: Frantisek was reasonable, welcoming, and responsive. He even helped arrange our transport back to the airport. Great host.
Nice upgrades: The kitchen is nicely finished. Two of the bathrooms are rather luxurious (the third is a more rustic communist era room of last resort). The main bedroom has a painted ceiling for cryin’ out loud. In summary, it’s a nice place to be.
The cons:
Beds: Basic mattresses on pallets.
Some wear and tear: The two sofas are tired.
Storage: No place to store your clothes.
All in all, we were very happy to have the Hideaway as our base of operations for our time in Prague. Recommended!
