Apartments at the Golden Plough

Perfect location, very close to castle. Tram is available few meters aways

Heater does not work. Wifi service is very bad

Super location, cozy apartment and great host. You feel like you are at home and inside the castle of Prague. Nina was an amazing host and she supported us 2 times when we asked for help, which made our stay even more special.

There are no big supermarkets nearby, so we had to get grosseries at smaller and therefore more expensive markerts. But this was a minor disavantage comparing to all the benefits of the location.

The communication with the owners was nice and easy. The location couldn't have been better. Roughly 30 minute taxi ride from the PRG airport, and the apartments are located in a very atmospheric historic district. If you like walking, you can reach the Prague center on foot. Just in case, there also is a tram stop nearby. The inner courtyard is amazing and has some Mediterranean vibe to it: our gang of 7 metalheads enjoyed chilling with a beer there very much! P.S. we did our best to not disturb other visitors/neighbors. :) We booked this apartment (in fact, they gave us two apartments instead of one because the one we booked had waterpipe problems) before going to Brutal Assault and after (this review applies to both 6th-9th of August and 14th-16th of August), so the owner said we can keep the keys and leave some of our stuff in the apartments while we're away, because we will stay in the same apartments when we will come back from the festival. That was a very class move from their side, very appreciated! Huge flight luggage is definitely not something you want to haul around with you all the time. Cons will go next. I would like to state that our gang consisted of musicians and music fans with years of festival, gigging, touring, and student dormitory experience, so my companions and I didn't care much about the 2nd part of the cons review. Yet I do realize that to those who are not familiar with living rough-and-ready could be shocked by these things, so I pointed them out For Your Information. :)

I have read other reviews before composing mine because I felt like other travelers who stayed there before us should've noticed those issues as well. - Keep in mind that photos must be at least 5 years old. The TV sets were nowhere to be found (not that we needed them much; just an example of inconsistency that I wanted to point out). The wardrobe in our room looked like it collided with something/someone big enough to damage its geometry. - PLEASE BE PREPARED TO PAY IN CASH. No POS terminal available, as it seems. - The cleanliness is another major issue, and I mean MAJOR, since it has been pointed our repeatedly be the previous tenants and some Spanish/Italian family that lived in another apartment right above us. When I told the owner that there are spiders in our bathroom (my missus is scared of spiders), the owner replied that "it's a spider season". Riiight. Must've been a season for a past year or so, judging by the reviews. :D So I had to take little arachnids, four of them, to the courtyard. There were still some left in another apartment, sitting merrily in their cobwebs behind the wardrobe. THE FOLLOWING ISSUES WERE NOT A HUGE PROBLEM FOR US, JUST POINTING THEM OUT: - Some people were displeased by the fact that there was some food left by the previous owners. Not an issue for us, we left some of our surplus there as well. Sharing is caring. :) - Microwave ovens should be a nice addition to the kitchens. - WiFi router is ancient and must be upgraded. We used mobile data instead. - Window frames are a pain-you-know-where to close. Should be fixed: we were staying there in August heat, but I doubt that those who come during colder time of the year will be happy with those frame locks. Really tricky ones. - Please get some curtains for the bathrooms. Splishy-splashy all over the place. - I understand lack of washing machines, but they would be a nice addition, too. Hope all this will be taken into consideration. :)

beautiful place and surrounding, amazing architecture, the Prague Castle nearby, just a few tourists in this quarter: bath and enough warm water; central heating; baby bed with mattress and bedlinen

dirty floors, cobwebs and many spiders on the ceilings; lowest quality and bad style equipment, no wardrobes; one bed even broke down when my wife (60 kg) was sitting on it
