Where to Stay in Prague

The best neighbourhoods, hotels and booking tips

Prague packs a remarkable density of small boutique hotels into the medieval centre — most converted from baroque town houses, half of them with a vaulted-cellar breakfast room. Where you stay matters less than how central you stay.

Booking Tips for Prague

  1. 1Stay inside the Old Town tram ring (lines 17/18) — anything further out and you're commuting.
  2. 2Many historic hotels have no lift; ask before booking if you're carrying real luggage.
  3. 3Czech Republic isn't on the euro — most hotels accept cards but ATMs charge 5–10% extra; use Revolut/Wise if you have it.
  4. 4Avoid the four blocks around Old Town Square for dinner — the same plates are 30% cheaper one street away.
