The streets of Prague emit a sense of magic that is felt by all who inhabit them. For both locals and quick passersby alike, hidden gems and unsuspecting beauty await at every turn. The Appia Hotel Residences is one of these gems.
Perched atop Sporkova Street directly under the Prague Castle, the Appia Hotel Residences’s outward appearance displays the same characteristics as other Art Nouveau style buildings in the city. But on the inside, warm and welcoming bilingual staff greet hundreds of weary travelers from across the world every day.
Read below to learn about the 5 reasons you should stay at Appia Hotel Residences during your next trip to Prague:
1. Prime Location
Tucked away in Prague’s charming Mala Strana neighbourhood, Appia Hotel Residences are steps from the city’s most famous attractions.
A short nine minute walk via Hradčanské Namasti, patrons can explore the centuries old Prague Castle and St. Vitus Cathedral.
In the opposite direction heading towards Old Town Square, the ominous Baroque statues of the Charles Bridge await. Via Karluv Most, the bridge is an easy 11 minute stroll on foot, or 10 minutes via bus number 192.
Other noteworthy attractions in close proximity to Appia Hotel Residences include the Museum of Alchemists and Magicians of Old Prague (1 minute walk), and the Schwarzenberg Palace (5 minute walk).
Visiting attractions further away from the hotel is also a breeze. Public transportation to places like the Národní Muzeum in Wencesclas Square, Letná Park, or Prague Zoo, are available from:
- Malostranské Namesti (tram lines 12, 15, 20, 22, 23, 97);
- Malostranské (Metro Line A); and
- Bus no. 192 (to Šporkova)
2. Stylishly Modern Rooms, Suites & Apartments
When traveling throughout Europe, finding spacious accommodations is a challenge — but not at Appia Hotel Residences.
With a total of 22 modern and spacious rooms, guests can choose amongst 13 deluxe double rooms, seven suites, or two large apartments with kitchenettes.
A World of Dresses and I experienced one of their luxurious double deluxe rooms. These rooms are equipped with free high-speed Wifi, air conditioning, plush robes and slippers, and a fully-stocked minibar.
A large LCD flatscreen TV for movies enhanced the experience, but the favorite room feature was the elegant glass enclosed washroom with a rainforest shower head.
3. A Complimentary Buffet Breakfast
In addition to in-room snacks at the mini-bar, Appia Hotel Residences Prague provides guests with a comprehensive breakfast buffet in their cosy attic restaurant.
After hot showers and an hour of work, A World of Dresses and I hopped in the elevator and helped ourselves to an English style breakfast of baked beans, sausage, fried eggs, and stewed tomatoes.
A hot cappuccino and a plate of assorted pastries are the recommended finale. Therefore, sweets treats like cheesecake, crepes, and chocolate-filled croissants are in abundance.
All food and beverages are available from 7am to 10am Monday through Friday. On the weekends, the breakfast is available from 8am to 11am.
4. A Romantic Outdoor Garden
In the evenings, Appia’s picturesque outdoor garden with gazebo is the perfect spot to relax with a book or a cocktail (or both).
Steps away inside at the lobby bar, rosé champagne, whiskey gingers, and vodka tonics are available for purchase to drink under the lights of the gazebo.
During the warmer months, it’s the perfect way to enjoy the sun with a book in hand. The plush furniture with the sound of the fountain trickling in the background creates an ultra relaxing vibe.
The private garden can also be used for proposals, birthdays, and other celebrations by contacting the Appia Hotel Residences staff.
5. Extra Services Packages
Another amazing perk of being a guest at Appia Hotel Residences are the Extra Service Packages. These packages are available to guests that book online in advance of their stay.
Guests who utilise the direct booking from the hotel website will enjoy a generous 50 percent off discount on parking, a discounted hour-and-a-half sauna experience, a complimentary souvenir, and a welcome drink. Sipping champagne while enjoying early check-in made for the perfect experience.
Book Your Stay
To book your stay, visit Appia’s website directly here.
Most importantly, for those arriving from Vaclav Havel Airport or Hlavni Nadrazi Main Rail Station, direct and private transports can be arranged to and from the hotel property.
Regular check-in time is 2pm, and regular check out time is 11am daily.

Traditional English breakfast in Prague? – that’s too funny! At any rate, that looks like a fab place to stay – I’ve heard such great things about Prague, so def know where to check in should I ever make it there!
I love Prague! This looks much more luxurious than the trip I took to Prague just out of college 🙂
The great thing about Prague is that it’s very affordable to visit if you find the right spot! Now living there….that’s another thing! haha
Prague is always a nice city to visit. I might get there again one day.
It’s a wonderful place to visit! I lived there for a year and it’s still my favourite European city. So many new things to discover and streets to explore!
This is a nice compilation and I love all the tips that you have given here . Keep sharing these posts time and again
So glad that you found it useful! If you are every in Prague, you should certainly check this hotel out! 🙂
The was probably one of the best breakfasts I’ve ever had at a hotel. Also the location was absolutely perfect and that garden was an amazing place to just relax.
It was definitely one of the best hotel breakfasts I’ve ever had! So glad we got to experience this special hotel in Prague 🙂
Everyone I talk to says Prague had the best food. Unfortunately I haven’t been yet but it’s on my bucket list. Thanks for these tips! Def saving this for later.
Oh really?! When I lived there I thought the food was hit or miss, but they do have some great restaurants! Czech food can be a bit heavy, but they have so many options when it comes to gastronomy, it’s not just meat and potatoes 🙂
Prague is SO BEAUTIFuL. Honestly, just give me any building with a window facing the city and I would be SOLD! This one in particular is especially charming! The breakfast spread looks good too, which is always my top priority! Haha
The backyard garden was SO magical. We went to the indoor bar and got a cocktail and sat outside in the mid summer heat. It was so relaxing. And just steps from New Town and the Charles Bridge!
It’s been years since my last visit to Prague. I’m due for a return visit! Appia Hotel Residences looks like my kind of accommodation with the delicious looking breakfast buffet, spacious room, and the close proximity to old Prague Castle area.
Oh yes, yes! You should. So so much has changed and in a good way 🙂 Overtourism is a bit of a problem now, but hey, what European city doesn’t struggle with that? haha. Appia Hotel is the perfect location!
Sounds like a great place to stay and the breakfasts look awesome.
It was one of the best hotels I have stayed at in Prague! It’s so close to everything and the breakfast was DELISH.
Thank you so much for this! I love detailed hotel reviews – they help so much more than a single comment on review sites like TripAdvisor. Looks like the perfect place to stay in Prague!
Aw thank you! I am so glad that you found it helpful. I love sharing great hotel experiences I’ve had.
Your photos of the breakfast alone would make me want to stay there! Thank you for letting me know about this fabulous place. I only spent a short time in Prague, but I definitely want to go back and explore more. Thanks for sharing this!
It was one of the best breakfasts I have ever had in a hotel — and I have had a lot! It was such a cute set up too.
You had me at complimentary roses and champagne. This place looks divine. I love Prague so will have to remember this place if I go back. Also, that is a really good looking breakfast for a complimentary service
Right!? They provide that to all guests who book the VIP experience.It was so so nice after a long day of travel to just sit back and relax!
What a gorgeous property! I will definitely keep this in mind for a future visit 🙂
Yes!! It was the perfect location, not too far from all the main sights. I would go back 100 percent, but then again, Prague is my favorite city 🙂
Appia Hotel looks absolutely beautiful! I wish I knew about it before I planned my Prague trip. Definitely keeping it mind for the next time I visit. 🙂
You can always go back! I am sure they would love to have you 🙂 Their hotel staff is SO nice too!
Gorgeous. I would love to stay here some day
You should!! The hotel staff is so so nice too!
You sold me on location! I always try to stay within walking distance of the attractions I’m planning on seeing, even if that means paying a bit more for accommodation. It’s totally worth it and this place looks awesome!
You had me at delicious buffet breakfast! But I also love that beautiful outdoor garden and the amazing interiors and ammenities.
Looks really lovely, I will definitely recommend it to my friends. Personally I always stay at my parents in Prague, but this hotel makes me wish I would be a tourist there as well
This place looks like a dream! Such a nice way to visit Prague!
This place looks like my type of hotel. I love that its in a great location and secondly that breakfast looks delicious! I am such a sucker for a good hotel breakfast. Stuff your face and you are good to explore for hours and thereby saving you money when travelling.
Great review! I have stayed only in hostels in Prague but since this is an affordable choice I would consider it for my next trip to Prague! The breakfast looks delicious OMG! Thanks for your honest insight 🙂
Looks beautiful! I love details like the herringbone floor and the breakfast looks amazing!
You’re definitely spot on about small rooms in Europe. It doesn’t usually bother me too much considering I’m out exploring so much. But it is lovely to get back to a spacious room to relax, especiall if you’re not travelling solo. Appia Hotel Residences look absolutely gorgeous as well, so that doesn’t hurt!
This place definitely sounds great. I’ve always wanted to visit Prague and you’ve just made me want to visit even more!
They totally got me with that breakfast pastery selection! Their garden is always super romantic like you mentioned. Whenever I can travel again this place is totally on my list!
Appia Hotel looks fantastic. And your photos are absolutely beautiful. You certainly got me with the garden and the breakfast selection. Would certainly consider this place when travelling to Prague.
I love those bathrooms!! So cool with the glass walls.
I absolutely love your pictures and this hotel looks amazing! I always like staying in hotels near the city centre so I can visit as many places as I can if I go for a short period 🙂
I’ve always been a great fan of Prague! It’s such an incredible city with loads to do. Next time I go, I’ll definitely look up availability at Appia Hotel Residences! Thanks for the recommendation!
Love Prague, there is so much to see and do. I’ve visited twice but still feel like I missed out on so much. Thanks for sharing, I’ll definitely save this for future visits.

It’s easily my favorite city in Europe! So magical that it pulls you right in! Yes, you should check out this hotel if you go back!
My word – If only I had this recommendation before I visited. I had the WORST accommodation ever. Imagine something terrible, then… Think WORSE. Makes for a funny story though now that I think back in hindsight.
Oh no!! I’m sorry to hear that 🙁 May I ask where you stayed? Sometimes the hostels in Prague can be….sketchy at best! At least now you know of a good and affordable place when you go back! <3
Looks like a perfect place to stay in Prague! Thanks for sharing 🙂
It was the most charming hotel!! I was so relaxed my entire time there.
Look like a lovely place to stay! I miss Prague!
