Just fabulous! Lucky it is so enormous that it can still be great despite the tourist hordes. Make sure you get to the hourly astronomical clock well before time so you can get a good spot. See the Our Lady before Tyn church lit up at night - it looks like a fairytale castle. They also have excellent musical performances there.
Where many beautiful historic buildings are. It’s lively and entertaining. The Astronomical Clock is beautiful as well as the Church Lady before Tyn. Restaurants on square are good but much pricier due to the location.. a drink definitely worth it to take in the views.
Old Town in general is very commercialized. Plenty of U.S. chains throughout the area--MacDonalds, KFC, Starbucks etc. Very crowded. Restaurants in this area are not a good deal due to it being geared to tourists. To get an idea of the real Prague where locals hang out, definitely do not expect it in this area. Cross the river into the Mala Strana, and you suddenly see why people actually like Prague so much.
The Old Town Square is fascinating. We stayed at The Cube - about 300-500 metres from the square, we stayed 5 days and I could go back for another month and still not see everything. Prague is the most fantastic city. I loved it. So much to see. The food is delicious. People are friendly and fantastic. I walked about 15 km a day, and it felt like nothing. Book some tours with local guides.
Do your research about the buildings & sights around the old town and the square. The astronomical clock is a must, get there about 5 minutes before turn of the hour. We got there at 12pm and the sounds of the bells ringing at the church across the square made for a great video as the 12 apostles come out and move around the clock.
This was one of my favorite places on earth, now absolutely flooded with shallow-minded tourists moving like robots from one selfie spot to another. Avoid high season and high time. At night, avoid it because of the roving bands of drunk guys in their twenties who think Prague is one big beer hall. I adore this cultured city. The tourists are wrecking the experience. Come off season and at inconvenient times like early morning to see what we all loved about it. But if history and architecture and sobriety mean nothing to you, please stay away.

The location was really good. Close to the Old Town Square - regardless of whether by foot or tram. There was a mall about 5mins away, and numerous mini-marts within 1-2mins of the apartment. The apartment itself was well laid out, with the toilet in a separate room from the shower. The living room area was nice as well - and the Netflix was a life saver as there were no other English channels. Amenities were good and functional. There was also a lift to the 5th floor which is good. Overall, a good stay.

The location was amazing, a 1 minute walk to the old town square. The Apartment was exceptional, so clean and beautifully appointed inside. The pictures on booking.com looked lovely but in reality the inside was even better! The host was vey helpful and wonderful to deal with. Highly recommend this host and property.
The location of this hotel couldn’t be better, right in old town square. Rooms are very spacious and spotless. A friendly welcome on arrival and porter brought our bags to our room. Breakfast room was fabulous, overlooking the clock tower, it was a buffet style and had a good selection of food.
Loved the place, huge room with a beautiful view of Charles Bridge from the third floor, very nice breakfast, lovely staff, the hotel is in a beautiful area very close to the underground and also short walking distance from old town square and other beautiful places, highly recommended

The apartment is neat and modern. Location excellent. 2min walk to old town square! thank you. Prague is beautiful, so much to see and do. So much of everything. What an adventure. Must-see. WOW! Invest in good takkies and walk the cobblestones all day long. It's worth it.
Excellent location, a 2 minute walk to the old town square. Close to all amenities. The apartment decor was beautiful, it had everything we needed and it was spotless. A thorough list of instructions were there to help with any queries we had.
Really lovely hotel, the location was perfect with the Old Town Square just around the corner, but far enough away to be quiet and peaceful. Could see the astronomical clock tower from our window.
I like location of the hotel, far from the old town square and crowd but with nearby tram and bus station if one would like to have quick travel to the old and lesser town.

Brilliant location only a minutes walk from Charles Bridge and very close to Old Town Square. Big apartment with enough space for our group, well furnished and clean.
