For those who are going to be taking a trip to Prague very soon, but haven’t been able to get a hotel to stay in yet, it is important not to panic. If this is you, don’t worry, as you will find a hotel in no time! There are many ways to find a hotel that is going to be perfect for you. You can start by going online. There are many websites that are there to help you find something that is perfect for you. These sites will help you compare different Prague apartments and see which will fit into your budget, while giving you all the amenities you require.
Since you have limited time to find a hotel, your ability to pick and choose will be more limited than normal. Just the same, you will still be able to find hotels plural. This means you will still have a choice, just maybe not to the extent these sites normally give. In the end, you should just choose a hotel that is going to get the job done. If you don’t really care much about comfort and fanciness, you can just go with something affordable and safe. Be smart and have fun in Prague!

The days when Prague was the mecca of backpackers are long gone. They have slowly been out-priced and replaced with the “weekend-trip city-dwellers” from Western Europe, especially the UK. Few new hotels have been quick to respond to this trend and cater to the semi-affluent Western hipster who comes just for a few days (and doesn’t mind that virtually everything in the hotel is branded.)
At the chic Icon Hotel in Prague’s city center (where you get into the room with a fingerprint) the staff wears Diesel clothes, gushes over the oh-so-comfy Hastens beds, guests are encouraged to use Apple computers and iPods and bring the Navirent GPS systems when walking around town.
Friends recently stayed there when visiting Prague and loved the 120 Euro Urban Secrets package, complete with champagne breakfast and the above-mentioned GPS system. They also confessed they would run and buy a pair of Diesel jeans immediately because they liked it so much. Just kidding. At least I hope so.
Watch for The Gap/IBM hotel in the neighborhood near you. It’s only a matter of time.
