Prague (Praha) Accommodations And Camping

Accommodations in Prague differ greatly. Thanks to the openning of some new “chic” hostels throughout the city (Mosaic House, Sir Toby's, Miss Sophie's, Czech Inn), travelers willing to pay a bit extra (or sometimes, even not) can find digs with full bedding, in-house restaurants and top quality Wi-Fi. Those who want that hostel-specific thrill of wondering if your roomate's going to kill you won't be disappointed, as there are many “earthy” options throughout the city. In general, Stare Město costs more and offers less, while Nové Město costs less and offers more. Several large hostels in Holešovice start resembling hotels (or fantastic, cushy communes) but require a Metro ride to visit sites, and might be a bit out of the way for most travellers, especially lazy ones. Finally, a note on prices. The prices included are simply approximates. Most Prague hostels price with an algorithm that takes into account the time of year, the fullness of the hostel and the current rate of demand for rooms. This system rewards those who book in advance.
