As we only had three nights in Prague during our Europe road trip, we decided to suck-it-up and stay in the city center. Absolutely no regrets!
Having a choice between Old Town and Malá Strana, we chose Malá Strana. Known as the “Little Side of the River” or “Lesser Town,” Malá Strana felt quiet and less touristy, but it was close enough to walk everywhere.
We stayed at Hotel at the Green Grape (Hotel U Zeleného hroznu). Stunningly beautiful with so much architectural character, it was one of our favorite hotels on this Europe road trip. Clean, comfortable, quiet, and the rooms were spacious.
Plus, they have a small parking area. We suggest messaging the hotel ahead of your stay to reserve a space; there is a charge. Once you are in Prague, you do not need a car.
Walking distances from Hotel at the Green Grape:
- Prague Castle – 4-minute walk
- Charles Bridge – 10-minute walk
- Astronomical Clock and Old Town Square – 20-minute walk
Other hotels to consider in Prague
- Hotel Ikona – Located in Malá Strana right next to Charles Bridge, so you can’t beat the location, yet it’s on a quiet street. Rooms are large and comfortable. Parking is available for a fee.
- Eurostars Thalia – In Prague’s Old Town, this hotel is in a wonderful location without being crammed into the tourist quarters. The building is historic, but the rooms are luxurious and modern.
