Get the best deals and avoid common mistakes.
Book 2-3 months ahead for Prague summer (June-August) and Christmas market season (late November-December) when the city fills completely
Avoid hotels directly on Old Town Square — premium location but overpriced and noisy; Vinohrady and Žižkov offer better value within 20 minutes by tram
Check hotel booking sites against direct hotel websites — many Prague boutique hotels offer best-rate guarantees for direct bookings
Old Town and Malá Strana hotels are most expensive; identical quality accommodation costs 25-40% less in Vinohrady, Žižkov, or Holešovice
Many historic Prague hotels are in listed buildings — beautiful but may lack lifts; check accessibility before booking if needed
