Our stay at Siesta Apartments was a pleasant one. The location was great. Everything was at walking distance and we loved it that the street was so quiet at night. We also appreciated that the other guests abided by the house rules. It made for a respectful and friendly ambience.
Pavel, with whom we had been emailing prior to our arrival in town, was extremely welcoming. We were offered a free drink which we enjoyed in the courtyard and we were also given tips and suggestions on where to eat.
Our apt was made up of a bedroom, one tiny hall leading to a kitchen corner and finally the bathroom.
It should be noted that it was quite humid inside which was especially obvious after spending the whole day outdoors and getting home to even more heat. If you’d like to avoid that, make sure to ask for an apt that’s not called “The Cavern” when booking. They have plenty more to chose from.
The furniture was basic but in good shape and the rooms were clean. The pillows could probably be improved as they were super flat and gave us some neck pain after a while.
There was some mould in the bathroom (below the shower, the area it was mounted on) probably due to the aforementioned humidity.
And we were only given one towel each which was not ideal to dry face, hair and body for 4 days in a row. We were not told anything about a cleaning service and we assumed (correctly I think) that there would be none.
Piece of advice #1: two towels per person would be much better plus a fifth one to use as a rug in the bathroom. And speaking of which, piece of advice #2 would be: “Please, get rid of all the rugs in the apt”. Or wash them as an alternative. The state we found them in, they were dirty and definitely unsanitary.
Finally, the toilet flushed all right but there was something amiss anyway because after flushing it the water would keep flowing and unless you got up in the middle of the night to flush it again, it would emit this weird, whistling sound. Pretty annoying.
This being said, for anyone who’s looking for a budget and conveniently located place to stay in Prague, Siesta Apartments make for a nice compromise!
