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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
