Guest Reviews

• Vytautas (10/5): - Very central. Nice apartment, good room. Really good price and quality match. There is no proper table in the apartment. So if you have to use computer, it’s going to very uncomfortable. But this is minor.
• Julien (7/5): great place to stay in but be prepared for it is not clean. - The apartment has a great localisation in the center of the city from where you can do everything by walking. It has all the equipments you need to cook and other things which comes handy with the price of the restaurants that are skyrocketing. Tip: do not be worried you will pay for the apartment by revolut and for us everything went perfect, the welcoming was also great. There is a big problem with sanitation, the place is not made for a usage by multiple people with carpets and everything. With my partner we had to clean our room to feel good in it. There is even mold on the ceiling of the bathroom and the place is very humid. Simple solution would be to get rid of all the carpets, let the ac run for ventilation and do the cleaning of the ground with chemicals not just vacuum cleaning. It is sad because the place with its central position has a lot of potential ❤️ To sum it up great place to stay in but be prepared for it is not clean.
• Harriet (6/5): Convenient location and good value - Was a great location for the city, good wifi connection and nice host, bathroom clean. Beds were a little uncomfortable, because of the location was quite noisy at night, kitchen light stopped working during our stay.
• Nikky (6/5): -
• Filippo (8/5): - Ottimo prezzo per la struttura C’era un odore strano
• çetin (9/5): -
• Martinus (7/5): -
• Maria (10/5): Was great, especially for the location! Totally recommend it! - I stayed for four days/three nights with my sister and it was amazing! Excellent location, in the middle of the town, you can walk everywhere safely. The room was big and comfortable and the bathroom was clean! Although I didn’t use the kitchen, it was complete with all the stuff you might need. Marianka was responsible to show us the apartment and she was kind and helpful. On our last day we had to leave our luggage at the apartment and we had no trouble with that! I totally recommend staying there! Was not a problem for me, but there are a lot of stairs to get to the apartment, so for elderly or disabled people or families with kids might be a problem!
• Eva (9/5): Superb -
• Derek (9/5): Superb - Clean, close to attractions Room quite small and single beds, shared bathroom facilities and lots of stairs with keys to navigate
• Dalius (10/5): Very cool location! - We really liked this place, it felt like we were staying at our friends' house. The apartment was clean and tidy. We were met by the hostess's assistant, Marianka, who was informative and easy to communicate with. If we were to return to Prague, we would happily stay here again — right in the heart of the old town! We missed a mirror in the room, so that we wouldn't have to use the shared bathroom or hallway when getting ready to go out. This could be easily fixed.
• Howard (9/5): Superb -
• Khawaja (8/5): Very good -
• Tony (10/5): Perfect central tourist spot - Close to many good tourist spots. Nice hosts. Maybe a little bit loud if you open windows. But it is quiet if you close the windows. It is very understandable since you live so close to the center tourist spots.
• Mariana (9/5): Quiet and comfortable place in the center of the center -
• Dimitrios (8/5): Nice house at the very center of town! - Excellent location, nicely staffed house and big room! These are minor things, but: *4 locks to get to the house are a bit of a chore, but understandable *toilet and bidet were in different rooms, that was funny *our room needed blackout curtains as my friend could not sleep in the morning light
• Thi (9/5): Superb -
• Dua (7/5): Good - The owner were difficult and were asking for unreasonable additional expenses
• Otávio (10/5): Great place, recommended - Great location near main sights and public transportation (trams and underground). Hosts were easy to communicate with and have left anything you might need in the apartment (plasters, sewing material, toiletries etc). -
• Visser (8/5): Really nice apartment for exploring prague. - The apartment had a super nice and central location. Perfect to go out and see the city. Not necessarily a problem for me, but there were a lot of stairs so if someone has big luggage it might be a problem.
• Jocelyne (8/5): Good place; a few easy changes would make it exceptional - The location was super. Communication with the hosts and the housekeeper was excellent and timely. The street was very quiet in spite of its central location. The bathtub was very nice, and there were a few hygiene products to go with it. The kitchen was fully equipped. There is a very nice café just next to it - the staff is lovely and and so are the breakfasts [they also serve lunch] [we did not get the chance to eat at café Montmartre] No waste basket in the bedroom. There are 2 [single] covers for a double bed - not ideal for a couple. the towels could be replaced: they are old and rough. I saw a few hairs on the floor - in the bathroom and in the toilets. It is not possible to pay through booking.com [however paying with a bank transfer was easy] The fact that rescheduling is not possible [if the booking is not refundable, so be it; however when you book 2 months in advance, anything could happen in the meantime; so rescheduling should be made possible] More importantly, the [4] keys to open all the [5] doors are a major headache; my partner had to rearrange them in sequence in the keyring to know which key opened which door - before he did, it took him several minutes [in 2 or 3 attempts] to find the right key for the right door. We only came in the room and left together as the process was a pain. I suggest for each key to be colour coded to ease the comings and goings.
• Ruo (6/5): Not bad, if you’re a backpacker (probably) - The location is really great, the bed is huge which is definitely good enough for two people. Overall the accommodation is not bad but has some inconveniences: - We cannot store our luggage before checking in. - There’s no elevator and are lots of stairs. It’s probably fine if you’re a backpacker. - It’s in the city center, noise lasting till midnight is inevitable.
• Tatiana (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect location and really kind and helpful owners and helper :) Everything was fine, quite in the night and good explained. We loved it!
• Renaud (10/5): Exceptional - Great room, full of light and space ! We’ve been kindly welcomed by Marianka. I recommend 100% !
• John (1/5): Bad - We thought we had booked. Laxmi in Prague I had an email stating my booking was confirmed. There were emails back and forward to the owner in India re payment and thought it was resolved. The email said “you have guaranteed your booking by credit card.” I had a confirmation number and PIN code. We arrived to discover we did not have a booking. I was told it was cancelled because we had not paid. We had a very difficult conversation by phone with the owner She was aggressive blaming and unhelpful even though I tried to find a way to resolve the issue. The owner of a business next door said she frequently had people with problems asking her about reception and access to their unit. I booked successfully multiple forms of accommodation 10 this trip that required different payment arrangements and reception processes. The owner and manager of LAXMI is the worst I have experience. I WOULD DISCOURAGE ANYONE FROM CONSIDERING LAXMI. IT IS NOT A HAPPY PLACE.
• Sophia (6/5): pleasant for short stays. - location was great it was within walking distance of most attractions and food there were too many keys and doors/gates to unlock and do note that there is no elevator (which was fine for us cuz we backpacked)
• Athina (9/5): Very well situated - Perfectly situated just at the corner of a real good ice cream shop "la crème de la crème". Quiet, free coffee and tea given. I highly recommend this place. I knew it but you need to climb two floors without elevator.
• Ayla (10/5): Amazing - Choosing this place for my stay during my trip to Prague was truly the right decision. Marianka is genuinely kind, polite, and helpful, and the location of the house is amazing. The house is clean and equipped with all the necessary amenities. During my stay, I was able to store my food in the fridge, sleep warmly in my room despite the -8°C weather, and enjoy tea or coffee whenever I felt cold. On top of all that, the price is very reasonable. A huge thank you to Ms. Helena, Mr. Manuel, and Ms. Marianka for their kindness and support. This will definitely be my choice for my next trip, and I will be recommending you to my friends. Stay well and take care! Nothing
• Maricel (10/5): Excellent - Location is accessible in all spots. Apartment was sooo clean and comfortable. Highly recommended.
• Hien (9/5): Superb -
• Denitza (9/5): Just great! - The location was perfect—central, in the old part of the city, within a few minutes' walking distance to the main sightseeing, and with lots of public transport around if you wish to explore further. The flat is on the second or third floor, reachable by steps without a lift, but even with a bad knee, which I had, it was manageable—good security and quiet. The size of the room and all the facilities were excellent. Check-in and check-out were super easy and stress-free. Although it was a room only with shared facilities, a bathroom/toilet, and a kitchen, it felt like you were at home. I would definitely recommend it for any length of stay, short or long.
• Samara (9/5): Superb -
• Iva (10/5): Exceptional -
• Natalie (9/5): Fabulous place in central Prague - I stayed here for 5 nights with my little girl. It is a wonderful central location and everything worked brilliantly. Having a bath tub was good for us and there is also a washing machine which might be handy. Helena herself was visiting and was super helpful with everything. There is a fantastic cafe called the Bond Cafe right outside where we went almost every day for breakfast. Just very minor points. More pillows would be good. I made a note in my phone of the 4 keys and which one to use for which door but it can get confusing and a colour code system would be so helpful.
• Meryem (9/5): Superb - The location was very great, it was really central and almost every touristic attraction was in walking distance. Room was also pretty clean, comfortable and warm. The owner was also very kind and helpful.
• Thomas (9/5): Central location, good value for money - Great location and quite during the night, friendly housekeeper, spacious room, free coffee and tea The pillows in my bed could be bigger and tighter. They care about security which is fine, but you need four different keys and you can easily mix them up
• Lashieann (8/5): Very good - Location was great. It's walkable to most tourist landmarks. Maria was very helpful and accommodating. Our room was very spacious and comfortable. The place is well maingained and clean. The stairs. It's a long way up. So if you are carrying a heavy luggage, it can be pretty much challenging.
• Kyrylo (10/5): Exceptional -
• Sergejs (9/5): Thank You! - in the very center of the old city. very close to all the main attractions. quiet. comfortable. internet many doors with locks before getting into the room. a bunch of keys that are almost identical. it would be nice to mark them in different colors, or sign them 😁
• Camila (10/5): Exceptional -
• May (8/5): Helena is super nice and the location is superb👍🏻. Regardless, I will still recommend this place. - Location! The beddings. Pillows and blanket is too old so the cotton are all bumpy and out of place plus the smell is not so good, perhaps the way the laundries were dried is not so good(?). The cafe below can be heard from the room. It would be much appreciated to keep a reminders for the guests to close the doors gently.
• Jack (10/5): Exceptional -
• Natalia (9/5): Great! - Located in the city center but not noisy. Beds were comfortable and the host very kind. The place was clean, nice kitchen with all accessories need to cook. It's 2nd floor by stairs, but it was ok.
• Graham (9/5): Superb - Location was excellent, 2 mins walk to the square in the old town. The room was spacious and eventhough the kitchen and bathroom were shared it was big enough and good sound proof that it was not an issue. Plus toilet and shower were separate rooms. Really good coffee and tea supplied. We used this space mainly for sleeping as there was so much to see and do during the day. The only issue was the amount of keys needed to get into the building which is not much of a complaint as we felt safe. Maybe if the keys and doors were labelled it would make this easier.
• Mariami (8/5): It was great 😊 - - Host was so kind and positive. - Building was in a heart of old Prague ,but there wasn't noisy at night, because of double windows. -comfy beds - Everything was soo close to the building, location is great. 1) There wasn't a table in the kitchen, where we could eat. 2) there wasn't a mirror in my room , even not small one.
• Fábio (9/5): The location near the center, was perfect. The place was nice and clean. Also, the staff was very helpful. Be ready for -
• Anna (10/5): Exceptional - In the historical center of the city, but not on a noisy street, I liked it. Everywhere is clean, linen is fresh, the kitchen has everything except a microwave. I will stay at Mrs. Helena's place and recommend it to my friends!
• Rcamilogilt (10/5): Exceptional -
• Olsen (8/5): Very good -
• Melcón (9/5): Comfortable - Location is ideal , price-quality relation is very good and the room was huge I visited prague during particularly hot days (30 degrees) and there wasn’t any fan or AC. Had to open the windows and because of the central location there was a lot of noise during the night. It’s not the host’s fault at all, just a consequence of the location!
• Emerson (10/5): Exceptional - Host was extremely friendly and accommodating!
• Johncronin (10/5): Top Quality Accommodation!!! - The location of this apartment is absolutely perfect for visiting all local attractions and even the walk from the bus/trains station is a very enjoyable scenic route. The apartment itself is impeccably clean, fresh and modern while offering a calm and peaceful ambience throughout. The bedrooms are spacious and the bed was very comfortable. The wifi was stable and fast. There was a fully equipped kitchen with an easy to use washing machine. All rooms were fully lockable when I was there, so security wasn't an issue. The bathroom is shared, but it doesn't feel like that as it is all very discreet and every necessary toiletry is available while you'll also enjoy a warm and powerful shower. Finally, Helana was always friendly, helpful and accommodating. I stayed four nights and I loved every moment of it. This really is a refuge for any traveller. I can recommend it 100%. This is more related to Prague Oldtown, not just Helana's place, but I'd advise to bring earplugs. Some nights - not every night - obnoxious tourists seem to forget they are in a residential area and show no respect to the local people late into the night. This certainly is not Helana's fault, but it can happen.
• Mathéo (10/5): Amazing long weekend in Prague - The host is very friendly and open-minded. You quickly feel at ease and there's a friendly atmosphere. Everything is very clean and the accommodation smells nice (incense). The room is spacious and very comfortable. The accommodation is extremely well located in the centre (e.g., in the historic centre, close to a supermarket, etc.).
• Emily (6/5): A mixed review - Helena's place is spacious and very clean. It is in an excellent location right in the centre of the Old Town of Prague. Helena was very friendly and responsive. We would not recommend staying here during the Summer months. It was too hot to sleep and too loud outside to leave the windows open. We woke up two of three nights to our host shouting to people on the street to be quiet and threatening to call the police on them. We asked if there was a fan to use to cope with the heat and unfortunately there isn't one (she did not advertise that there would be one but it is worth highlighting). There are no locks on the shower room or on the bedroom door. There are other guests staying in the apartment so we felt somewhat uncomfortable with this. However there are four locked doors to enter and exit the building. If there was an emergency you would need keys to exit the building. The evening before our arrival we had to change our arrival time from 16:30 to 18:30. Helena said that we would have to pay an additional 8€ because of this change. She never asked us for this money in the end but we did feel that this hidden charge was unfair. Another thing to note is that when you book, Helena asks you to send her the full amount via Revolut or iBan within 48 hrs. We went ahead with this but were conscious that if we needed a refund or the apartment wasn't as advertised we wouldn't be protected. As long as you're comfortable with the above, it would be a nice place to stay in colder months.
• Catherine (10/5): Perfect, perfect, perfect! - My partner and I LOVED our stay here. Helena was so helpful and kind (even whilst she was dealing with some very difficult personal matters). Helena cleaned the bathrooms multiple times during are just 4 nights stay - they were constantly spotless. The kitchen was always tidy and clean and we loved cooking our breakfast each morning. Amazing location with walking distance to all the major sights. Highly recommend!
• Olga (10/5): Exceptional -
• Cheng-ya (10/5): Highly recommended! - Everything was perfect! The location was great since it was near the Charles Bridge and the shopping area. Walking distance to every tourist destination. The host and staff were both friendly and welcoming. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable, and so was the bathroom.
• Dana (10/5): Helena is awesome and highly recommended for a stay in Prague! - The location was AWESOME! The staff were also amazing and very very friendly! Although the bathroom is shared there was never an issue with needing to get in. The property is very secure. No lock on your personal bedroom door. No air conditioning.
• Carina (10/5): Comfortable place for budget travelers - Good location, friendly owner of the property, comfortable atmosphere , clean environment . Absolutely recommend it! N/A
• George (10/5): A perfect location and a pleasant stay. - The room was perfectly located and very tidy and clean. The owners/staff were very helpful in providing all he information as well as other helpful details. It was a very convenient and comfortable stay The only thing was the towels were very thin and light. They can be thicker and softer.
• Harry (9/5): Superb - Staff were so lovely. So many nice touches. Needs better ventilation in room - Fan etc,
• C.f (10/5): 100% recommended - Really clean space and confortable. The personell who received me was really nice. I truly recommend this place.
• Javiera (9/5): Very nice, felt like at home - Emplacement was amazing! Right at the heart of Prague. The apartment is spacious and well equipped, with towels and a washing machine available for use. In the kitchen you can cook (but we didn’t use it), and also have a coffee machine which was really nice in the morning. Even though it’s very central, it’s quiet and peaceful. The apartment could get quite stuffy after doing laundry/showering. Since we only have access to one window, it’s difficult to let the air circulate. The doors didn’t have a lock, which is a bit scary when you sleep — but don’t worry, apparently this is getting solved soon. It’s just that the locksmith who is supposed to change the locks hasn’t come yet !
• Tudora (10/5): Located in the city center, close to everything, at a very affordable price. there is no noise. - Friendly accommodation, you have 2 bathrooms, one for shower and one for toilet. accessible kitchen, coffee provided by the property at no additional cost. Located 5 minutes maximum from the astronomical clock and 15-20 from all the important points to visit. The host was very friendly
• Ricardo (10/5): Exceptional - Great hosts. Thanks Excellent location
• Naomi (8/5): Very good - Ideal location, walkable to most things in historic downtown Prague. Pretty basic kitchen facilities but it met our needs just fine for a few days. Very helpful and flexible contact people, adaptable to our changes in arrival and departure time, etc. Lug our suitcases up two flights of stairs, but that's city living for ya.
• Craig (9/5): Laxmi Happy Home = Happy Holiday - Superb location. Clean accommodation with excellent facilities Was given two single beds as apposed to a double. Pillows could have been better
• Seongjin (10/5): Exceptional -
• Katarzyna (9/5): All in all very positive experience staying in Helena’s apartment - The place is very well located, walkable distance basically from every touristic attraction. It’s clean, all the amenities were there. Nice and responsive host, easy check in. Lack of the possibility to lock the door to your room and also to the bathroom - rule of the house is assuming if the door is closed a place is occupied. It was making us feel not fully safe and comfortable, we didn’t love leaving everything unlocked with other people around in the apartment. Another small con in lack of a table to sit and eat your food.
• Florent (10/5): Exceptional -
• Arjun (10/5): Exceptional - I and my friend travelled to Prague in February 2024 and the Laxmi happy home was the best accomodation that we got in Prague.It is situated at the centre of the old Town and the staff Maraianka was too friendly.I recommend this stay for family and Budget travellers
• Beatrix (10/5): Exceptional - Very friendly host, apartment very clean, the location of the property is very convenient for touristic purposes.
• Shanthini (10/5): Exceptional -
• Meer (9/5): Superb -
• Colin (7/5): Good -
• Charlotte (10/5): Exceptional - The host welcomed us in person and was nice. She is very thoughtful and helpful.
• Alexander (10/5): Exceptional - Centric location, quiet environment, a neat and cozy place. Helena is a very friendly and welcoming hostess.
• Taya1994 (5/5): Passable - Very central place There is a problem because the doors are very noisy if you close them normaly...a host should try and make a replacment to the locks because it is hard to open and close them and in case of an emergency it is risky
• Nicolas (9/5): Superb -
• Niels_brinky (8/5): Friendly and warm host with a super central location was perfect for a few days in Prague - Our host Helena was very friendly and welcoming. The location is very central (couldn't have been better!) and the hygene in the house is very good. The only thing I'd like to have seen differently were the beds. They were still quite okay, but not super comfy. As an 1,82m person I just fitted and that was okay for me, but I think that if you're above 1,90m it could also be perceived as too short.
• Esther (8/5): Home sweet home - The place was very quiet and perfectly located. Very clean and comfortable. I wasn't careful when I booked the room and I though it was an hotel. If I was surprised at first, but Helena is so nice and the place pleasant so nice experiment!
• Magnus (10/5): Very nice and helpful hostess. good location, quiet but still very central in the old town -
• Vivirpuntocom (9/5): Spacious and comfortable room in centric location - I enjoyed my stay here a lot. The location is super centric and the room very nice and spacious. It was equipped with a comfortable king size bed, a wardrobe, a shelf and a dining table with chairs, everything beautifully decorated. The bathroom and WC are big, modern and very clean, the kitchen is well equipped and I could use it whenever I needed to. WiFi was good as well. Helena is a lovely and attentive host and a positive and interesting person to talk to. I would definitely stay here again on my next trip to Prague. As the room I stayed in is next to the bathroom, I woke up one morning around 8 am to the noise of a hairdryer despite using earplugs. Cleanliness would be perfect if dust was removed under the bed as well. ;)
• Liubov (9/5): Its cool - Definitely recommend it.The location is super.The owner is a very positive person.Prague is a very high-calorie city. -
• Rasool (10/5): Exceptional - The apartment is neat and at a great location, most of the attractions are at the walking distance. Shared spaces are spacious and fully equipped with all the necessary stuff. Helena is a positive person, kind and the nicest host! I would highly recommend this place and If I ever visit Prague again I will definitely be booking this place. Nothing to dislike
• Jakub (9/5): Superb - great location, close to all attractions, friendly staff. the rooms, bathroom and kitchen were well-kept, clean everywhere, great atmosphere, I recommend
• Nariman (10/5): I’ve had the pleasure to stay at the property for four days. Helena is such an supportive and kind host. She explained e - It’s big and comfortable rooms, high security and most importantly the amazing and responsive host.
