-
The simplest way is to go to our homepage and use our search by dates. If you are a group of ten people or more, go to "Groups" instead, it will be easier for you to find apartments that are in the same building.
-
Let us know this in advance. If the apartment is available earlier, we will
inform you 2 or 3 days in advance and send you a new code that opens
the apartment earlier.
- If you plan to arrive
early in the morning after an exhausting travel (from the US for
example), it may be worth for you to plan with us a guaranteed
early check-in - for half the price of the night before your arrival.
- Otherwise
you can leave your luggage at the luggage storage in Florenc
bus station -Luggage storage info and advice on possibilities
for early check-ins /late check-outs: click
here for our early-check-in advice.
- Let us know and stop
by our office
we are in Prague with wide and flexible opening
hours (as long as you let us know in advance when you need to visit
us) so you can easily stop by and take your building keys...
-
Yes, the discount is taken
into account only later, when we prepare your reservation confirmation
e-mail (the process is not automated yet. But do check on the reservation
confirmation e-mail that the discount has been taken into account. If
it were not the case, please let us know as soon as possible).
The best is to read our
user guide in the "About us" section of our website
3 nights, but it can be 1 or 2 nights if your reservation comes right
before or right after another one
- We
recommend you to put your car in a watched parking because the risk
of car theft is high-

Overall,
life in Prague is much cheaper than in London for example, so your stay
will rather be an opportunity to please yourself with operas for 25 euros,
cocktails for 5 euros, pints of beer for 1 euro and restaurants three
to 5 times cheaper than in London...
- Save
on transportation: see our Prague info section for hints on
low-cost airlines and other possibilities depending on where you will
leave from. See our Prague info section for
hints on low-cost airlines and other possibilities depending on where
you will leave from
- Save on accommodation.
- Choose RENTeGO ! Our apartments are cheaper than a hotel for comparable
comfort and location (if you find cheaper, check carefully the location)
- Pick your season : for us as for most other accommodations, prices
vary a lot depending on the season. Most expensive are summer (July
15th to August 15th), New Year, longer week-ends and bank holidays
- Pick your nights
: nights from Sunday to Thursday are nearly 25% cheaper than Friday
and Saturday
- Stay longer:
the longer you stay, the less you pay per night. We offer you
the flexibility to choose exactly the nights you need and pay
only for them, even for short three or even 2 nights stays, but
a 7 nights stay will still be cheaper per night than a 2 nights
stay. This is because there are fixed costs with any rental
(clean-up, laundry for bed linen and towel, management of your
reservation etc.) that are better absorbed by a 7 nights stay
than a 2 nights stay. Besides, shorter stays increase the risk
for us not to find renters for the nights before and after your
stay (if you rent for 2 nights instead of 7, we still have to
find someone who wants for example exactly the 2 nights before
you and the three nights after you...
- Pick your apartment : you must respect
the maximum occupancy in your apartment's description, but our rates
are based on recommended occupancy. For example, in apartment n°3-Lili
there could be six of you (maximum occupancy)) if three of you sleep
in the same bedroom, while we recommend the apartment for 4 persons
because we consider as normal comfort to have one bedroom per 2 persons.
You then save 30% more per person...
- Of course,
you can choose another solution than our apartments, especially if
price is your only criteria of choice.
- Usually, if you find cheaper,
it will probably be :
- By sacrificing comfort :
if you accept sharing your bathroom with people you do not
know, then hostels are cheaper
- By sacrificing location :
we feel it is too bad because it will force you to spend
a lot of time in public transportation or in traffic-jams, while
Prague's beauties and attractions are concentrated in a very small
area (which is why we chose to propose apartments in the center only).
Also, really check the location of other proposals: official limits
of Prague are very wide and you could be in Prague and 8 miles from
the center...
- Save on food :
- As restaurants in Prague are 3 to
5 times cheaper than in London or the US, it is more a time
to enjoy yourself than to restrain. That being said, it remains
cheaper to cook your own breakfast or meals. All our apartments
are equipped with a kitchen cor ner. Not enough to amaze
your friends with your improvements of sophisticated top
french cuisine recipes, but enough to prepare breakfast and
simple meals.
- Another trick:
in general, restaurants serve very generous quantities. You can
ask for a doggy bag if you have trouble eating all (say : "Prosim
zabalit s sebou" showing
your plate; Usually, it is not a problem and you will pay an
0,5 euros extra for the pack. You will then have a meal you can
warm up using the microwave oven in your apartment. (pretty practical
if you get hungry at night). Also, it is healthier than eating
too much and more morally gratifying than throwing away food...
- Take a look at apartments for 3, they might still
be competitive compared to a hotel room for 2.
- Maybe you have friends or relatives you have not seen for long
that you could invite and share a bigger apartment with?
- Send us a message with your wishes.
We may have a new apartment for 2 not yet online. Also, if an apartment
for 3 is available at the same time, we might choose to give you a discount
so that you pay only the price for 2.
