 | Prague Hotels and Accommodations Reviews | 1 - 10 of 565 |  |
We really wanted to stay in the Old Town area on our trip to Prague. I love to be in walking distance of the main sites and restaurants. But when I started researching accommodation I found that any of the hotels in the Old Town were either fully booked, or not very nice and too expensive for what you got.
So the next option was to rent a self contained apartment and I came across a UK based company with a selection of very reasonable priced options in the Old Town. We decided on one just a few minutes walk from the Old Town Square, close to Namesti Republiky.
Located on the 5th floor (with no elevator) the studio apartment was a loft style, with a couple of different levels. It was quite a unique space and there was plenty of room for us….and several of our friends too if we had invited them!
Bedding and towels were provided along with a fully fitted kitchen…not that we made any use of it.
We were met at the apartment late on the night we arrived by a friendly representative of the company we booked through. She ran us through the facilities handed over the key and then we were on our own. When we finished our holiday all that we had to do was sign the visitors book and leave the key in the letterbox on the way out.
We were really happy with the apartment. It was the perfect base for our time in Prague. The only negative would be that it was quite a climb to the 5th floor….so make sure you have minimal luggage.
And it you went up to the top of the loft and looked out the window you could even see the Castle!
If you are looking at the website, we stayed in Apartment 46 Leave a Comment

The first time we visited Prague in 2001, we stayed at this hotel, which is located in Prague 8, relatively close to Florenc metro station.
What can I say about this hotel? The rooms are very "basic" with a bed a cupboard and a TV. We went in November and the heating was not working...
Since I did not feel safe leaving the car on the street (foreign license plate) I rented a place in the garage.
If you look at the website, you are presented with an artist's impression (i.e., drawing) of what the hotel looks like instead of a photo... If you then select a language, you are presented with a very small photo taken from behind a tree showing ONLY the hotel building.
This is because the street looks quite bad, all buidlings were in bad shape and looked quite sad.
The service was very bad, everyone had a very angry face, I was almost scared of talking to them.
Check-in: The room was prepaid, but she could not find the fax from the trabel agency, so she did not want to give us the room... She finally found it and we got the keys. We were forced to leave our passports (all 4 of us!) which is actually illegal, if I am not mistaken...
At check-out, we left the rooms but wanted to go for a walk. The lady at the reception came storming screaming "YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR THE PHONECALLS". I just told her that we were not leaving and that she had both our passports and that my car was locked in their garage. She continued screaming and insisting, but after explaining the situation to her about 3 times, she finally got it.
Overall, the rooms are not very good, the location is far from perfect. There is a 10 minutes-walk to the metro station through a very unfriendly-looking neighbourhood (nothing happened to us, but...) and I checked the prices again when we went to Prague in 2004 and the rooms were 3 times more expensive. A double now costs 100 Eur!
Check my Hotel Florenc tip, it is located in the same neighbourhood, but right next to the metro station and with much friendlier staff.

When Hans and I were looking for a Hotel to stay in when we visited Prague, we were getting frustrated trying to find something that was economical, in a good location and not dumpy. Carmen (Carmela 71) suggested we stay in an apartment as they did when they went to Prague in February of this year. An apartment?? Really? We're only staying for five nights I said. Carmen sent us the web -site called "Prague Holidays" . We went through it and found what we were looking for ---APARTMENT JAROMIRKA PRAGUE located in Praha 2 and with the tram line right in front of the apartment. "Book it Danno " I told Hans.
It was a two-bedroom apartment in a very nice quiet residential neighbourhood. Close to Vysehrad Castle and 5 minutes by tram to Wenceslas Square or Old Town.
The apartment contained a living room with TV (4 Czech stations - not there to watch TV), Kitchen with Microwave oven, kettle, fridge and all kitchen utilities. Full bathroom with bath & shower. The only drawback was that our apartment was located on the 4th floor and no elevator. I counted every step as I huffed and puffed my way up -- all 88 of them.
Our apartment for five nights was 8525 CZK or $443.30 CDN or 295 Euros.

First impressions, we found, are not always accurate. We arrived at the Carpe Diem B & B about 10:00 p.m. and were a little put off. A big part of the reason was that we were knowingly royally ripped off by the taxi driver who charged us about 6 times what the fare should have been. The street is narrow and was not well lighted and the entrance was in a dark massive stone building. When I rang the bell there was no answer so I rang again. Then a lady’s voice answered and I told her who we were. She apologized for thinking we were not coming due to the late hour but assured me she would dress and come right down (she had evidently gone to bed). Then we faced climbing 5 flights of stairs with our luggage in tow. I told my wife that evening that we could look for another place to stay the next day. However, it turned out to be one of the best accommodations we had on our trip.
Carpe Diem is run by Ms. Marcella Ku’kova and her mother and is a wonderful place. Our room was huge - a double and single bed, a large sofa and coffee table and a crystal chandelier hanging in the middle. We did share a bathroom and toilet but both were spotless. Also, I think they have only 2 rooms so there is not a long wait even if someone is occupying one of them.
.
Ms. Ku’kova’s mother speaks only German but did the cooking each morning for our breakfast. What a treat! We had scrambled eggs with bits of ham in them, sides of cheese and ham, fried eggs with sausages, pancakes with marmalade folded in, wonderful breads. They were all freshly prepared and accompanied by slices of tomatoes and cucumbers which they had grown. Also the apricot and apple marmalade was made by Ms. Ku’kova’s mother who was a delight. And wonderful turkish coffee each morning.
As an added bonus, the price list indicated there were laundry facilities available for about $5. When I inquired she said, just leave it and I will wash and hang it on the balcony. When we returned that evening the clothes were dry and neatly folded on our bed.
Obviously I give Carpe Diem my highest recommendation Leave a Comment Theme: Bed and BreakfastPrice: US$20-40 » Currency ConverterComparison: least expensiveAddress: Kremencova 3Directions: About 2 blocks from the New Town Hall Tower. 5 minute walk from the Tram stop, 10 minutes to Narodni Tr metro stop, maybe 15 minutes to Old Town Square.Website: www.bedand breakfastprague.com/main-en.html Other Contact: email: carpediem.praha.seznam.cz

Hostel Orlik offers quite decent accommodation for pretty low price. It is five floors building, of not so attractive exterior, but it was recently renovated, it is very tidy and rooms have its own private bathroom with shower and toilet.
It has very good connection to all parts of Prague as it is just 3 minutes walk far from Metro station Dejvicka.

I stayed at the Hotel Rott, a four star hotel located directly in the heart of old Prague, on the King's Way, "Male namesti" (Small Square) . My room was equipped with shower, WC, phone, SAT and PAY TV, Safe, PC/fax connection, Internet, hairdryer and minibar.
The minibar prices were forbidden, so high!!!! So don’t use the minibar if you don’t want to have a big surprise in your bill. ;-)
The staff were very helpful and they spook a very good English. The breakfast was very good too.
Some of the distances to/from the hotel are:
Old Town Square: 0.1 km
Charles Bridge: 0.3 km
Wenceslas Square: 0.4 km
Main railway station: 1.2 km
Prague Castle: 2.0 km

I was travelling through train in eastern europe and the Falkensteiner Hotel Maria was perfect since it was really very close to the station and it was easy to find - just go out of station and turn left and follow the road and the hotel is at a corner. It is also walking distance to Wenceslaus square and I did not feel any danger at all. The hotel has internet available and breakfast was very good and there were some healthy choices - fruit and cereal. Front desk was also helpful and spoke english.
Location is at Opletalova 21, Prague, 11000
Wenceslas Square – 500 metres
Alstadter Ring – 2.5 kilometres (1.5 miles)
Prague Castle – 2.5 kilometres (1.5 miles)
Golden Lane – 2.5 kilometres (1.5 miles)
Charles Bridge – 2.5 kilometres (1.5 miles)
Jewish Cemetery – 3 kilometres (2 miles)
Excellent breakfast, near train station Leave a Comment Theme: HotelPrice: US$80-120 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageAddress: Opletalova 21

We had a most enjoyable stay during our 7 day visit, our room was superior to 4 star hotels we stayed in during our 9 week European adventure.This accommodation is sometimes listed on the internet as Hotel St John. It was newly opened in August 2003 and is in the original rectory of the Church of the St.John On the Rock near Charles Square. Our room was very impressive, on the first floor, and was in first class condition, a good bed, table with 2 chairs and another large single bed which could be used as a lounge, the bathroom was large and in good condition. Our room was very clean and all common areas of the building were spotless. The room was exceptionally large, approximately 5 metres x 6 metres and 4 metre high ceiling, no airconditioning but there were 3 huge windows, a new TV with CNN and BBC,no tea or coffee making facilities or refrigerator. However at reception there was a modern coffee making machine similar to those in cafes where you could order tea and coffee at cheap prices. Reception also had chilled wine and beer at reasonable prices.
There was a good European breakfast included and the bonus was a two slice toaster.
Would recommend this 14 room Hotel/ Pension to anyone.
All forms of public transport are nearby with the tram running past the door, 300 metres walk to the underground (Karlovo namesti) and there are 11 different trams within the same distance.

This apartment is right next to the Old Town Square, literally 50 metres away and in a quiet street. It has all the facilities you could want in an apartment, including kitchen, shower and bath, hairdryer, TV, radio/CD - pretty much everything for a short stay. Looks over an internal stone courtyard.
The price is much cheaper than hotels in the area, and the location is perfect! I'd recommend this apartment to couples visiting Prague.
The apartment is in a renovated 14th century building - you can see original 14th century stonework in certain parts of the building and in the cellar.
