This 87-room, eco-conscious hotel is owned by the same company as the Jalta Boutique Hotel on Wenceslas Square. Unlike its sister hotel, the modern, mid-range Plaza Alta is located outside the city center, though a tram stops outside the hotel's door, and it's about 10 to 20 minutes to Old Town. Plaza Alta has a Mexican restaurant -- yes, even in Prague -- which is known for its excellent steaks. The budget-friendly hotel serves a free buffet breakfast to guests. Rooms, which come with satellite TV and minibars, are modern and clean with indistinctive decor, but the striped bedspreads liven things up. Travelers who want to be closer to the city center can try the Archibald City, which has a similar style and comparable rates.

The hotel offers a wide range of amenities, including a free breakfast buffet, a trendy bar and restaurant, and a large spa.

Part of a small chain, Olympik Hotel Prague is advertised as a four-star property, but it doesn't earn those stars and feels more like a budget hotel. The 306 guest rooms are grimy, and guests report that items are often broken. The hotel, which is located in a rundown part of town about 10 minutes from Old Town on public transportation, has a bar and two restaurants, and gimmicky massage chairs in the lobby, but Wi-Fi comes with a fee. A breakfast buffet is included in the room rate, but guests give the food low marks. Rates can be low when booked through third-party sites, but there are better hotels in Prague with rates that are not much higher. Travelers might want to check out the Atlantic, which has similar or lower rates, clean rooms, and a better, more central location.

The 33-room King Charles Boutique Hotel Residence is a quaint upper-middle-range property that lacks the modern polish guests might expect based on the boutique reference in its name. Housed in a 1913 building in a quiet neighborhood, this hotel has a traditionally elegant style and is filled with antique replica mahogany furniture. Some of the large rooms have whirlpool tubs, though soundproofing is minimal and striped bedspreads feel a bit dated. A well-stocked buffet breakfast is included in the room rate. The hotel is not very central, but a tram stop is around the corner, making it a good, inexpensive option for travelers who are fine with using Prague’s well-regarded public transportation system.

The Hostel Downtown is a clean and friendly budget hostel geared toward young and social travelers. The hostel organizes daily free activities, such as beer tastings and cooking sessions, as well as paid walking tours. Private en-suite rooms, rooms with shared bathrooms, and dorms are all clean and colorful (but not air-conditioned) with whimsical wall murals. The facilities -- which include a large, well-equipped public kitchen -- are also bright and clean. Since hotels are fairly inexpensive in Prague, the private rooms are not exactly a bargain for couples, but might be worth it for young travelers looking to meet other guests.

The trendy Icon Hotel & Lounge is an upper-middle-range property that attracts a young travel set with its hip interiors that feature mural wall-paintings, jewel-colored ottomans, and east-Asian-style motifs. Situated on a cobblestone street close to the popular shopping destination and tourist hub of Wenceslas Square, the boutique hotel offers 31 stylish, modern rooms with contemporary decor, high ceilings, handmade Hästens beds with luxurious linens, and a host of modern comforts. There's also a hip tapas bar and restaurant, as well as a small spa that offers massage treatments, plus a cool lounge bedecked in colorful contemporary art. Note, however, that noise might be an issue due to thin walls, traffic in street-side rooms, and the popular downstairs lounge. For something of a similar character, travelers might also want to consider the Design Hotel Jewel Prague, another hip, design-oriented property closer to the Old Town Square.

Ametyst is an upper-middle-range, boutique hotel in a quiet, residential part of Prague. Some of the 84 rooms are sleek and modern, while others are a bit homier and older in style, but all have well-stocked minibars, free Wi-Fi, and coffee/tea facilities. The free hot and cold breakfast buffet has a wide range of options, and there’s also a well-reviewed restaurant on-site that serves international and Czech cuisine. The hotel is located rather far from the main sightseeing attractions, but only a short walk from the tram, which makes the whole city accessible. Guests may want to compare rates with the nearby Anna Hotel, a family-run boutique hotel with friendly staff and comfortable beds.

The mid-range, 57-room Hotel Galileo is one of five hotels in the Your Prague Hotels chain, and includes two-room Apartments that can sleep up to four people. The building is a mix of old and new spaces, including a spacious windowed breakfast room on the top floor of the more modern wing, which was built in 2011, and a lobby bar area in the older building. Located in Vinohrady, the hotel is not exactly central, but it is within walking distance of Wenceslas Square, and trains and trams run nearby -- light sleepers might want to request rooms at the back of the hotel. Travelers looking to be closer to Old Town might want to check out the Hotel Atlantic, which has similar rates.

This upper-middle-range hotel sits right on the Vltava River, just below the Charles Bridge. Despite being renovated in 2002, the16th-century building has retained much of its historic charm. Equally convenient to Old and New Towns across the river, the Archibald is pleasantly removed from the tourist crowds. It has two restaurants, including one with a vaulted-brick ceiling that serves a free buffet breakfast to guests, and an outdoor courtyard with seating. While the hotel isn't over-the-top luxurious, the 39 spacious rooms offer romantic views of either Kampa Square or the Vltava River, and some have historic details like beamed or vaulted ceilings. Travelers could compare rates and amenities with the neighboring Hotel Pod Vezi.

This upscale, boutique-style hotel is part of Mamaison Hotels & Residences, a small Eastern European/Russian chain. It's beautifully located in Smichov by the Vltava River -- some of its 62 rooms and 18 suites have river views -- but getting to Old Town requires a tram ride or a trek on foot. The hotel’s restaurant serves a buffet breakfast (for an additional fee), and the lounge bar is open late and serves light snacks. The hotel caters to business travelers, with meeting rooms and a buffet lunch. Travelers may also want to consider the more romantic and more centrally located Archibald at the Charles Bridge, though rates are slightly higher.
