The 7 best cheap hotels in Prague for 2024
It’s easy to become enchanted with Prague. With old-world charm and architectural masterpieces throughout the city, Prague feels mythical and romantic.
Plus, you’ll find plenty of places to dine well or to dance the night away without spending a fortune.
While Prague is an affordable destination for Cheapos, you don’t want to stay at just any budget hotel. We’ve searched the city, and found the best budget hotels in Prague for this year.
Tip: If you’re looking to save on your stay, traveling to Prague in spring or fall is ideal, when crowds are minimal and hotel rates are low, around $90 per night. Like many major travel destinations, summer is a busy season for Prague. In the winter, Christmas markets also tend to draw a lot of tourists, so hotel rates may increase around this time (to about $145 per night).
Book in advance to secure your spot — and a low rate no matter the season — at one of the following budget hotels.
