BEST AREAS AND HOTELS WHERE TO STAY IN PRAGUE
1. The old city (Staré Mesto), the best area to stay in Prague
When traveling for a few days to a destination (as is usually the case with Prague) the historic center is always one of the best options to avoid wasting time on transfers and to have all the most essential places to visit nearby. Although it is not usually the most economical option. Despite this, as I mentioned at the beginning of the post, Prague is not an excessively expensive city and you can find 3-star hotels from 60 euros per night in a double room and 4-star hotels from 90 euros per night in a double room. Although you have a wide variety of options and there are always offers.
Most accommodations are near and around the Old Town Square and the Astronomical Clock.
Some accommodation options in the historic center of Prague:
We spent 4 nights in Prague. It was our starting point to continue visiting more places in the Czech Republic and end our trip by visiting Budapest.
During our stay in Prague we stayed in el hotel INNSiDE by Meliá Prague Old Town 4*. It is a truly amazing hotel. Very modern, new, with huge bedrooms, free Wi-Fi and also if you usually travel with your pet, this hotel accepts them.
We found a great price for about 100 euros per night. It is in the center, very close to everything and has different types of rooms, doubles, triples, large family rooms...

2. Stay in the New Town of Prague (Nové Mesto)
In this area of the city you will find more modern accommodations. There are not so many tourist places to visit nearby, but it is still an area with a lot of atmosphere, hotels, shops, restaurants... In addition, it is not far from the historic center. You can get there walking, taxi…
In general here you will find large chain hotels with many rooms, which means that you can find better deals on better accommodations.

Prague 3 is a little further away. But it is the best option if you are looking to spend very little on accommodation.
