Prague accommodation

Searching for Prague accommodation possibilities?

Prague was not very much visited and opened for tourism before 1989. The Prague accommodation has changed dramatically after The Velvet revolution in 1989.

Plenty of new hotels, apartments, pensions, hostels and private accommodations are available today for tourists coming from all of the world.

The top tourist season is from April to October, around Christmas and New Year and of course weekends and other holidays. In this period of time it is better to book your Prague accommodation couple of weeks ahead and be ready that prices could be higher.

Accommodation standards - the number of stars does not usually correspond with international regulations. Do not rely solely on the star rating system when choosing a hotel. It is not a subject to any kind of monitoring or inspection. Accommodation in a four stars hotel can be therefore sometimes cheaper than in a three stars hotel.

Majority of Prague accommodation options are within walking distance form the center. The public transportation is effective so you do not have to worry that you will spend most of your time on trams and/or buses.
