Bed & Breakfast in Prague

The main reason for the success of B&Bs is undeniably the cheap price: these establishments are almost everywhere, including Prague, cheaper than a hotel.

But for many tourists there is also the desire to get in touch with the local culture, to see what the local houses are like, how the people of Prague live. For example, the breakfast you will be served in a bed and breakfast in Prague will certainly be a typical breakfast rather than the standard continental breakfast that is served in many hotels.

Services vary greatly from establishment to establishment: some b&b’s are very basic and provide only the essential services; others offer something extra, such as TV in the room, DVD on loan, Internet connection, free tea and coffee. The bathroom can be private or shared. Some B&Bs also have family rooms that can accommodate up to four people.

B&Bs in Prague

• In Prague you can find family-run room rentals both in the centre and outside the centre. Naturally, bed and breakfasts in the centre are a little more expensive; if you want to save money, opt for more peripheral areas, but before booking make sure that the neighbourhood is well served by public transport.
• As the b&b offer in Prague is slightly lower than in hotels and hostels, we recommend booking in advance. This will also enable you to get better prices.
• If you intend to rent a car, it is a good idea to choose a b&b that offers free parking, which is more likely outside the historical centre.
• Remember that B&Bs are family-run establishments. You may happen to stay in a bed and breakfast whose owners are somewhat elderly people, who may not speak perfect English. Do not be afraid, because these are people who are used to dealing with guests on a regular basis.
• Some hosts really like to interact with guests, but they will always respect your privacy if you wish to be on your own.
• Treasure your b&b experience: entering a private home is the best way to get to know the local culture, experience ‘real’ life and not limit yourself to the attractions and itineraries proposed by tourist agencies. Be curious, while respecting the privacy of other guests and the owners.
