Even though Prague is not a big city you can find a significant number of hotels here (if we count serviced apartments as well we get very close to 1,000). The quality of accommodation is generally good and meets international standards. But there is no unitary system of classifying them, so the number of stars you will see displayed at a hotel doesn't necessarily match with international regulations, so quite often a 4 star hotel is in fact just a good 3 star hotel.

Hotel prices are similar to the rest of Europe (in particular Vienna or Budapest) and, generally, the further you are from the centre, the less expensive the hotels are. However, this is not always the rule. As Prague is not a large city and public transport is cheap and reliable, it is not difficult to stay somewhere a few tram or undergound stations away from the major sightseeing places. It doesn't mean you should stay in the outskirts of Prague just to save a couple of euros, but do check distance to the city centre on Google and then decide if the hotel deal is worth it.

Recommended hotels for:
