Prague has hotels for most budgets, and you can often stay at a reasonable price – especially a little outside the centre, where rooms usually cost noticeably less than in the historic core. If you want to stay in the centre, the most convenient areas are Malá Strana (the Lesser Quarter), Staré Město (the Old Town) and Hradčany (the Castle District) – see our guide to the best areas to stay.
Most rooms have a private bathroom and a TV, and breakfast is often included in the price. Some budget hotels, especially in the suburbs, still have shared bathrooms. Top hotels cost many times more than a simple room on the edge of the city, and prices everywhere vary a lot by season, day of the week and big events. There are also plenty of serviced apartments and pensions fairly close to the centre; they usually offer good value, and many give a discount for stays of a week or longer.
Check-in is usually from early afternoon and check-out by late morning or noon – the exact times are in your booking confirmation.
Tip: Before you book, check what the rate includes – breakfast, and the city’s accommodation fee (poplatek z pobytu), which Prague charges per person per night and which some hotels add on top of the room price.
