10 of the best hotels in Prague

1. Mosaic House Design Hotel

A full refurb in 2020 turned Mosaic Hotel into a design-led stunner with art deco touches and sustainability at its core.

Its 94 rooms are small but well-designed and bright – their sizes a happy trade-off for its price and central location in Nové Město, Prague’s New Town that’s within walking distance of the National Museum and the famous Dancing House.

If you really need the space, two penthouse suites boast rooftop terraces with bathtubs but communal areas like the library, secret garden and high-ceilinged Cafe Mosaic are also a joy to chill out in.

Rooms start from £60 per night.

2. Botanique Hotel Prague

From attentive service at check in to its green approach and focus on sustainability, a stay at Botanique Hotel Prague is all about the details.

With 219 bright, spacious rooms and a host of fabulous perks such as Nespresso coffee machines, smart HD TVs, organic toiletries and a bistro serving signature cocktails, you’ll find you really do get excellent value for your money – rooms start at just £66 a night.

You’ve also got the best of both worlds when it comes to location. In the trendy neighbourhood of Karlín, you’ll be close enough to the main attractions while enjoying the peaceful atmosphere that comes from staying outside the centre.

3. Four Seasons Prague

The Four Seasons Prague is for travellers who want nothing but the best. Combining four architectural styles – classical, renaissance, baroque and modern – it sits right on the Vltava River with postcard views of Prague Castle and Charles Bridge.

The on-site CottoCrudo restaurant is a destination for Italian dining with a local twist, while the spa offers Czech-inspired treatments and a vitality pool. Need a bespoke experience? The concierge can arrange everything from vintage car tours to private castle visits.

Rooms start at £450 per night, a splurge that promises an unforgettable stay in the heart of Prague.

4. Hotel Josef

Glass and steel accents are the signature style of Hotel Josef architect Eva Jiřičná, who has designed buildings across the UK and Czechia – including the black-and-chrome Legends nightclub in London.

Another fun fact? The hotel offers guests free three-hour rides on an upgraded version of the Soviet-era Čezeta scooter. They’ll even prepare a picnic lunch (for a fee) to bring with you on your adventure.

Rooms at the hotel are stylish and cosy, with prices starting at £118 per night. And with a fabulous location just off the busy streets of the Old Town, Hotel Josef is pretty much the perfect all-rounder.

5. Hermitage Hotel Prague

It might technically hold four stars, but you’ll get a five-star experience at Hermitage Hotel Prague. The hotel’s stunning art nouveau facade hints at the luxury within – think chic, modern rooms that are praised for their style and comfort, and a rooftop complete with a state-of-the-art gym.

Located on the south side of Prague’s historic centre, it’s a lovely choice for couples seeking some peace and quiet, with Vyšehrad Park right on your doorstep. A quick tram ride is all it takes to get you into the city centre.

Rooms start from around £80 a night.

6. Carlo IV

Carlo IV is a solid pick for travellers who want a mix of history, comfort and value. Housed in a 19th-century neo-renaissance building that was once the Czech Mortgage Bank, the hotel keeps touches of its past, like a marble-columned lobby and the Vault Bar, set in the old treasury room.

The rooms boast high ceilings and marble bathrooms, while the spa has a large heated pool, a whirlpool and a sauna – great for relaxing after sightseeing.

With rates starting at £116 per night, it’s great value for a five-star hotel just ten minutes from Old Town Square.

7. Almanac X Alcron Prague

For those interested in Prague’s 20th-century history, the Almanac X Alcron Prague offers a refreshing change from the city’s medieval landmarks.

Originally opened in 1932, this art deco hotel hosted legends like Charlie Chaplin and Winston Churchill before World War II. A £17 million renovation in 2023 brought it into the modern age while keeping its 1930s charm intact.

Just off Wenceslas Square, the hotel has a rooftop bar with panoramic city views, a stylish spa with a swimming pool and sleek rooms blending art deco design with modern comforts.

With rates from £160 per night, it’s true luxury in a prime spot.

8. Unitas Hotel

Part of a former convent in the heart of the Old Town, a stay at the Unitas Hotel promises a charming blend of history and modern comfort.

Family-run and with an emphasis on personal approach, it's a favourite for anyone seeking a home-from-home stay. You can expect generously-spaced rooms ranging from singles to suites, each decorated in warm, inviting tones for a cosy night’s sleep.

If the rave-reviewed breakfast buffet isn’t enough to tempt you, the prices will, starting from about £70 a night with a free welcome drink included.

9. INNSiDE by Meliá Prague Old Town

Meliá hotels are generally reliable no matter where you’re visiting, and their Prague outpost is no exception. Despite its name, INNSiDE by Meliá is actually in Nové Město but guests are still within easy walking distance of all the big sights – with some of Prague’s more upcoming neighbourhoods also on its doorstep.

Expect sleek, simple rooms starting from as little as £70 per night, plus an on-site à la carte restaurant with cuisine from all over the world.

The hotel's breakfast gets great reviews from previous guests, but you’re also just minutes from one of Prague’s top bakeries, Aux Merveilleux de Fred.

10. Czech Inn

The best thing about the Czech Inn (other than its excellent name) is its variety. Those on small budgets who are willing to share can book a dorm bed from £14 per night but even its private rooms are wallet-friendly, starting at just £43.

Its bigger apartments, which come with fully equipped kitchens and up to two bedrooms, won’t break the bank either, at £73 per night.

Set in a renovated 19th-century building, its common spaces feel far grander than its prices and if you’re feeling social, you can head to its cavernous bar for events like quiz nights and live comedy.

This one is a little further out of the city, but Prague’s extensive and cheap public transport network can get you into the old town in under 30 minutes.
