Prague - ‘City of a Hundred Spires' - has been spared the ravages of modern warfare and now stands testament to a historic medieval past yet embraces the modern face of an emerging 21st century Europe. A vibrant cultural and economic capital, Prague sits astride the Vltava river, its centre dominated by the great complex of historic buildings known as Prague Castle on one side of the river and the beautiful Old Town Square and neon lights of Wenceslas Square on the other linked by the magnificent Charles Bridge. In recent years a plethora of hotels of all shapes and sizes has sprung up across the city so finding the one for you should not be a problem – although it may be full! Prague is now a very popular city break destination so please book early if you want to get the Prague hotel of your choice. To book your discounted hotel in Prague click here .

By far the cheapest Prague hotels are the 2 and 3 star properties to be found in the suburbs which also tend to have the best availability. Nearly all these are within relatively easy reach of the heart of the city using the efficient tram system, with journey times varying from 10 –25 minutes. Typical of these cheapest Prague hotels are the Comfort Hotel Prague , the Quality Prague , the Apollo and the Stirka Hotel all of which offer outstanding prices throughout the year. Follow the hotel links above or alternatively .

Another option for those on a tight budget, especially if you are prepared to pay just a little more for the convenience of a more central location, are the Botel floating hotels in Prague . These are moored on the River Vltava itself and offer an interesting alternative to traditional hotels, whilst providing all the usual facilities. The Botel Racek is usually the cheapest of these, being located to the south side of the Vysehrad fortress, an easy 10 minute tram ride from all the main sights. Even better located is the Botel Albatross , moored just to the north of the Old Town close to Stefanikuv Bridge .
