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.

5 Tips for saving on your Prague hotel

To help you get the most out of your stay, we’ve got a few tips on how to best navigate the Prague hotel scene. There are thousands of properties to choose from (4,917 to be exact), so we came up with five simple ways to help you save and find that perfect hotel room.

1. Be picky about where you sleep in the center

Everyone loves the idea of being in the absolute heart of the Old Town (Staré Mesto). Who wouldn’t want to wake up with a view overlooking the Charles Bridge or with a nighttime glimpse of the illuminated castle?  But as with most major cities in Europe, hotels right next to the monuments tend to be pricier, even for much smaller rooms.

Despite the huge number of attractions spread throughout the Old Town, it’s actually not such a large area, with most museums and sights no more than a 10-minute walk from each other. So staying anywhere in the district will put you close to the top things to see and do in Prague. Perhaps you won’t wake up to a view of the main square, but you’ll still be in a centrally-located area with a sizable discount on your hotel bill.

2. Stay outside the center for a more local experience and to save

Prague has much more to offer than just the Old Town, and there are a number of unique neighborhoods that offer their own identity and spirit, while still being a short distance to the center by walking or public transit. Many tourists don’t even know about these areas, but budget travelers should take a closer look.

Try the upscale Vinohrady, the hipster haven of Vrsovice, the quaint residential area of Smichov, or the serenity of green Dejvice. There are a ton of charming neighborhoods in the city located within 15 minutes by metro, tram, or bus to the center. These districts offer you a glimpse into the local culture of Prague — and at a much better price than being in the center. Learn more about Prague neighborhoods.

3. Come to Prague during the offseason

Prague is one of Europe’s most popular destinations, with more than 7 million tourists coming to the Czech capital each year. You’ll find throngs of people during the summer between June and August, all of whom are competing for affordable hotel rooms.

If you want to enjoy a more tranquil, snow-covered Prague in the winter, try a visit in November, January, or February. Cheapos will love the better rates at this time of year. A visit in the spring or autumn can also save you money and give you an opportunity to experience the beauty of the shoulder seasons.

Sir Toby’s Hostel in Prague has more than dorms. It also has a number of comfy private rooms.

4. Book a private room in a hostel

For the budget-minded traveler that might be done with sleeping in bunk beds in a shared dorm room full of snoring backpackers, there is a happy medium that exists: private rooms in hostels. Prague is home to dozens of hostels in every imaginable location of the city. This option gives you flexibility in choosing where you want to stay, gives you the privacy you need for a better night’s sleep, and is lighter on the wallet.

5. Consider an apartment for more than two people

For a group of friends or a family, it can be difficult and expensive to find the right accommodations. Taking a short-term apartment can be worth it for a multitude of reasons. You often have a kitchen to cook your own meals, which reduces the cost of eating out all the time, and you can have a living room to unwind in after a long day of sightseeing.

Most importantly, you can expect much cheaper rates for the size of an apartment compared to booking a group of hotel rooms. With thousands of short-term apartments available in Prague, you should be able to find the right space that works for you. Search for apartments in Prague.
