In short

In our data, the cheapest Prague stays rated 4.0 or higher start at about 32 to 34 euros a night for two guests (Clown & Bard Hostel, A&O Prague Rhea, Czech Inn).

Prague looks like a fairy tale: a castle on the hill, a stone bridge lined with statues, and an Old Town square with a medieval astronomical clock. The best way to see it is on foot, and much of it costs nothing. What does change is the price of a bed: in our weekly measurements, Prague hotels in early January cost a fraction of what they cost during the Christmas markets. Well-rated hostels start at about 32 euros a night.
