Anchored a bit away from the center near Náměstí Republiky and Wenceslas Square, the three-star Botel Albatros offers a plush, country-club vibe. Dark leather furnishings and low ceilings invite you to sit back, relax, and maybe even sip a drink at the top-floor restaurant.

Quick read

Pros: Comfortable, inviting decor. Rooftop restaurant and terrace.
Cons: Cramped guestrooms and bathrooms. A bit out of the center.

The hotel

Space is at a premium on the boat, so the hallways are narrow and the 86 guestrooms are small. However, rooms are nicely decorated and furnished with a small TV, a luggage rack, and a tiny table. Bathrooms are just big enough for one person, but colorful tiles and sailboat-themed shower curtains add a nice touch.

The Albatros boasts a rooftop restaurant and a large summer terrace. There's not much in the botel's immediate area, though most attractions are within walking distance. A nearby tram station will get you to sights that are further afield.

Breakfast is sometimes included in the room rates (check when booking) and Wi-Fi is free in the common areas.

Location: Very central

1.1km to city center

Prague's business district, which surrounds Stare Mesto on its eastern and southern borders, is the best place to find a bargain hotel in the city center. Nove Mesto means "new town" in Czech. However, it could only really be recognized as "new" by those who pooh-pooh anything built after the 14th century. The area was rebuilt in the 1800s, so it doesn't have the Gothic grandeur of Prague's other central neighborhoods.

Still, it's got plenty of its own sightseeing draws. Home to the famed Wenceslas Square, the kitschy National Museum and some wonderful art nouveau architecture, most hotels here are less than 20 minutes away from Old Town Square by subway or tram.
