Prague's Old Town is small, and the right hotel puts you a few minutes from Old Town Square, the Astronomical Clock and the Týn Church spires. This guide lists 50 bookable Prague hotels: 15 luxury, 14 mid-range and 21 budget, each with its area, its walking time to Old Town Square and its from-price for two. 23 are in the Old Town itself, where four-stars started at £48 a night on our midweek check (Hotel Bologna, on a quiet street near the river). Across the Charles Bridge, Malá Strana has the palace and monastery hotels under Prague Castle, and the cheapest beds of all are in Žižkov and Vinohrady, from £35 (Gregory House).

Prices checked 2026-10-25 for November stays; live prices change, click any hotel for today's rate. We checked every hotel for 2 adults, 1 room, 1 night on Wednesday 18 and Saturday 21 November 2026 and show the lower price, rounded to the pound. Saturday was much dearer, often double, and 11 hotels were sold out that night (one more was sold out on the Wednesday). The city tax (50 CZK per person per night) is extra.

Walking times are to the centre of Old Town Square, worked out from each hotel's map position (straight line × 1.3, at 80 metres a minute), so treat them as "about". Over 25 minutes we give the distance in km instead.

Old Town or Malá Strana? Walking Minutes to Old Town Square

This is the first choice to make in Prague. Here is how the 50 hotels in this guide split by area.

The Old Town is where to stay for a first visit, a short break or the Christmas markets. Nine hotels in this guide are about 3 minutes' walk or less from the square. The trade-off is crowds from mid-morning and higher Saturday prices.

Malá Strana is for a second visit, for couples, or for anyone who wants to walk the Charles Bridge early before the crowds. It has the most atmospheric hotels in the city (monasteries, a brewery, the House at the Infant Jesus), and its four-stars are often cheaper than the Old Town's. Old Town Square is a 15-25 minute walk across the bridge.

Žižkov and Vinohrady are for budgets. They are lived-in neighbourhoods 1.6-2.6 km from the square, with trams and the metro (Náměstí Míru on line A) into the centre in about 10 minutes.

Our rule of thumb: first trip → Old Town. Romantic or return trip → Malá Strana. Tightest budget → Žižkov or Vinohrady, and spend the savings on dinner.

How Prague Compares to Other Central European Cities

Prague is still cheaper than Vienna for the same standard, and a four-star in the Old Town midweek often costs less than a three-star in the centre of Paris or Rome. Many UK travellers combine it with a second city by train: our best hotels in Vienna guide covers the imperial capital about 4 hours south, and our best hotels in Budapest guide covers the Danube city further on. Dresden is the closest big German city, just over 2 hours by train, and Berlin is about 4 hours away. For a cheaper medieval old town, see our best hotels in Kraków.

Prague Neighbourhood Intelligence

• Charles Bridge before 7am: the bridge is free and open all the time. Early morning is the only time it is close to empty.
• The Astronomical Clock: the figures move on the hour, from morning to late evening. An early show has the smallest crowd.
• Old Town Square at 8am: almost empty, with the Týn Church towers and the pastel houses to yourself.
• Prague Castle: go early, or walk up through Malá Strana's lanes from the Old Castle Stairs instead of the busy front gate.
• Petřín Hill: take the funicular up to the lookout tower and walk down through the orchards to Malá Strana.
• Vinohrady evenings: wine bars and cafés around Náměstí Míru and Riegrovy sady park, where the beer garden has views over the city.
• Žižkov pubs: local Czech pubs at local prices, a short tram ride from the centre.

UK Practicalities

• Flights: direct flights from London and several UK regional airports to Prague Václav Havel (PRG) take about 2 hours. Search flights to PRG.
• Airport to the Old Town: the AE Airport Express bus runs from Terminal 1 to the main railway station in about 40 minutes (check the fare; normal tickets are not valid). Or take bus 119 to Nádraží Veleslavín and metro line A to Staroměstská on a normal public transport ticket.
• Entry: no visa for UK passport holders (Schengen, 90 days in 180). Check the UK government's Czech Republic travel advice for the Entry/Exit System and ETIAS before you go.
• Money: the Czech koruna (CZK), not the euro; £1 is roughly 28-30 CZK. Always choose to pay in CZK at card machines.
• City tax: 50 CZK (about £1.70) per person, per night, usually paid at the hotel.
• When to go: May-June and September-October for the weather; late November to early January for the Christmas markets (book early); January to March for the lowest prices.

How do I get from Prague airport to the Old Town? The AE Airport Express bus to the main railway station (about 40 minutes), or bus 119 to Nádraží Veleslavín and metro line A to Staroměstská. Taxis and ride-hailing apps take about 30 minutes.

Do I need a visa to visit Prague from the UK? No visa for stays up to 90 days in 180. Check GOV.UK's Czech Republic advice for the Entry/Exit System and ETIAS.

What currency does Prague use? The Czech koruna (CZK). Pay by card in CZK, and use bank ATMs rather than exchange booths.

When is the cheapest time to stay in Prague? January to March and November before the markets, and always midweek: Wednesday rates were often half the Saturday rates on our check, for example Hotel Bologna £48 vs £144.
