Can anyone who has been to Prague reccommend a hotel that is central and approx no more than £70 per night BnB.
There is so many to choose from its sending me cross eyed.
Any other tips and advice welcome too.

Prague is the most stunning city I have visited and the people are warm and friendly.
Look just outside the city for the cheaper hotels, and you can get a taxi or a bus into the city centre .
At weekends there is a market in Wenceslass square, the cost of eating out is pretty cheap. The jewellery shops are fabulous and specialise in Baltic Amber, dont forget to argue the price down if you decide to buy. Charles Bridge always has alot of street traders and artists along it always something interesting to see. Also if you get chance take in a boat trip that way you get to see the landmarks along the river .
Have fun and leave us a review please when you get back.

We always stay in the hotel Ariston, 2 tram stops away from Wencelas square. Infact ive just booked for a couple of us to go back to prague in nov, 4th time in 2 years.

We are paying £125.20 for 2 double rooms for 3 nights, or to break it down a bit more £10.43 per person per night. The rooms are great, comfortable and spotless.

You can find the hotel ariston on hotelconnect...an excellent provider. Should you want to get an extra £10 off, use the promo code goodnight

Plus there is a 24hr bar across the road serving pints of Pilsner Urquell for 60p as its in a residential area and away from the bustle of the city centre.

A rough estimate would be approx 1min-1min 30 on the tram to get to the main city.

For your transfer from airport-hotel-airport 1-4 people is £38 with prague airport transfers. An excellent company, reliable and very friendly.

yeah £38 return depending on exchange rate

Umm...the hot dog vendors in wencelas square are open till all hours, i dunno if they shut. The spicy red hotdog is definately a must. they are around 2-3 czk.
There is a restaurant about 100yds from ariston what serves good meals..but i dont know what time it shuts.
