Accommodation in Prague will probably be a most expensive item on your itinerary (compared to the price of almost everything else in Prague). Prague is busy all year rounds so it is best to arrange accommodation in Prague before you go. If you are travelling around Christmas, Easter and July or August it is almost necessity to book well ahead.

When looking for accommodation you should check both the price, and the distance from the town centre. Sometimes it is better to find accommodation further from the centre because, compared to other world cities, Prague is quite small and its public transport is very effective (but check different hotel offers, you may find a great deal in the centre) If you are planning to stay in private accommodation it is advised to view the property before handing over any money.

Did you know? The Telegraph has recently run an article on the best places to stay in  Prague: Four Seasons Hotel Prague (for luxury), Hotel Neruda (for intimacy) and Hotel Josef (for design).

The number of stars does not frequently correspond with international standards, because sometimes the owners class their businesses themselves.

Nearly all hotels set prices depending on a season. Obviously prices will be highest during peak times. (generally up to 20% higher in summer compared during the low season). But it is nothing unusual that some hotels even double prices. One way round this is to search the Internet for special offers, which can often undercut the exorbitant rack rates considerably.
