The website for the Ariva indicates that every "apartment" has a bathroom and a kitchenette. The "apartment" I was given had neither. It was a room not much larger than the bed it contained. Only after I indicated that I was a travel journalist was an electric coffee pot and a refrigerator stuffed into my tiny room. I have rented... more

I stayed at this guesthouse in January 2005 for 10 days. I chose it because it stated clearly on the company website that each unit was an "apartment " with kitchen and bathroom. I arrived late-morning and was met by one of the owners who checked me in. The place was very quiet. Silent. Our voices were echoing off the... more

My freind and I booked 2 rooms at the Ariva Guesthouse over the internet from Berlin. We had no idea about the demographics of Prague, but we needed a place to stay. We avrrived late, around 7pm after getting lost in the City. One of the owners greeted us on the stairs. He was the most solemn, unfreindly, unhelpful person... more

When we arrived at the Ariva Guest House they sent me to one of their annex properties two blocks away, which was Hostel Krasova 39. It looked very simple but clean so we decided to stay there.

I was surprised by the former review - becuase I had heard such good things - but my experience was rather poor as well. I only stayed one night because of scheduling issues but I was told I had a good room - and the bed was awful - and the place rather spartan. I also had an issue that... more

My boyfriend and I recently returned from a trip to Prague during the Easter weekend. We loved Prague but were extremely disappointed with the Ariva Guesthouse, and the word 'disappointment' is an understatement. Long before we embarked on our trip, I had been in contact with the two men that run the guesthouse by email and had set up a... more

Pour faire une histoire simple, nous avons décidé de nous rendre à Prague sans réserver en pensant trouver une chambre... more
