Hotels

The most common form of accommodation is in a hotel of 1* to 5* stars. According to this star rating they provide a certain level of services - from the very basic to the luxurious.

Guesthouses

Accommodation with a family atmosphere provides peace and quiet appreciated by families with children as well as independent travellers. A personal approach and the price (from 15 euros) for very often a high standard of facilities are a pleasant surprise for visitors.

Motels

These are meant for motorists who welcome their services, especially on long-distance routes. They are located next to motorways and main roads, which saves time.

Botels

This is a special type of accommodation found on the river Vltava in Prague in particular. It is a more romantic accommodation option affording unusual views of the capital. The standard of accommodation is comparable to a 3* hotel and above.

Campsites and chalets

Campsites are ideal for those who love nature and who are willing to sacrifice a little comfort for the chance to sleep outdoors in a tent. In the Czech Republic you’ll find them along rivers and by lakes.

Hostels

These are hostels for young people and provide an alternative to cheap hotels. Dormitories are common (4 or more beds in one room is nothing unusual), and WC and washrooms are also shared. One advantage of staying at hostels is that they are often located in historical city centres.

Student halls of residence

These are ideal for tourists looking for cheap (8–10 euros) and easily accessible accommodation from June through to September. They are usually to be found on the outskirts of towns and occasionally in city centres.

Castles and chateaux

The Czech Republic has one of the greatest concentrations of castles and chateaux in Europe. In the 1990s many of these were returned to their original owners who have since transformed them into hotels. However, even at these places you will find a wide variety of standards, facilities and prices.
