RiverView Palace Apartments

We booked a package with Expedia - never again! Over an hour to sort out keys at the collection point at midnight, who said they did not have a room for us. On the plus side the accommodation was large and clean. However it was rather shabby, and our apartment was on the main road so quite noisy. The apartment stated residents should be quiet 10pm-6am, but this was not heeded by the large party of German young men or by a British group, sharing and drunk in the early hours. If you want a cheap venue for a stag weekend then this would probably be good, but not for a family holiday.

We visited Prague as a family with friends in December. We needed sufficient accommodation for 9 people in 2 apartments. We used their airport transfer service, which was excellent, and the same price as using a local taxi. You are taken to a hotel to pick up the keys. We had a bit of a hiccup, as one family had been 'upgraded' to a different location. After a lengthy discussion, we were able to have both families in the same location. The apartments are big, and fairly sparsely furnished. But the heating was excellent. (We had to turn it down). The kitchen looked adequate, although we chose to eat out. The bathroom was fine, but the shower was a bit feeble. It was about a 20 minute walk to the main old town square, but if you get your act together, there are trams that get you almost there in a few minutes. (You have to buy tickets at local tobacconists). There were a couple of groups of other young men, who were on a bit of a different mission and timezone to us. But actually their noise was only brief as they came in or went out. Would be very happy to stay here again.

We visited Riverview palace apartments as part of a stag and they were very accommodating for 18 persons. The rooms are lovely and very clean. The windows open very wide which allows a nice amount of breeze to enter, considering the fact it was 30 degrees when i visited June 1-4th. The kitchens contain everything you need to cook, however i would avoid using the toaster (it looked more greasy than a back of a donner shop). The only issue i can say is they only provide 1 towel per person regardless on time of stay, as you can imagine 4 days using the same towel could get pretty grimey. However, i prepared for this luckily and brought another towel just to be safe. One thing is that there is no AC available, the thermostat is there, however it is not functional. The only bad thing i can say is the stairs are not maintained at all. There is sharop metal sticking out on the railings of the stairs, which had sliced 4 people in our Group. Also, the buzzers never worked outside the building, so with 2 keys to each apartment and many people from the group returning at all times off the night, it became frustrating that we would have to wait sometimes up to an hour to get in the building.
