Prague boasts a beautiful historic Old Town, centuries of culture, and some of the most lively (and affordable) nightlife in Europe. It also happens to have the biggest and best gay scene in Central and Eastern Europe, covering everything from traditional pubs to trendy hipster joints, basement bars, sprawling cruising dungeons, and megaclub parties.
Accommodation here is cheap by default, especially if you visit outside of the summer and Christmas peak seasons. The truly high-end 5-star hotels will not cost much less than their counterparts elsewhere in Europe, but once you get to mid-range you start seeing a significant drop in prices.
Upmarket design-led boutique hotels in the 4-star range abound. Hostels cater to a large backpacker crowd and are becoming increasingly sophisticated, with some really cool options available.
Prague is a major tourist city in Europe, and as such, the city center is gay-friendly for tourists. It would be highly uncommon for any hotel in Prague to make an issue of a gay couple checking in. In addition to being gay-friendly, the hotels listed below are all located in popular parts of the city for gay travelers. They excel at providing value for money and quality experiences.

Vinohrady (Prague 2) is one of Prague’s coolest neighborhoods, sitting in between the old-world beauty of the historical center and the non-stop straight nightlife of Žižkov. Vinohrady is where you’ll find Prague’s best gay nightlife, gay-friendly hotels, coffee shops, trendiest bars, most delicious food spots. Several of gay Prague’s best and most beloved venues are here, including DANDY, Club TerMAX, and The Saints Bar. The most booked gay-friendly hotels in Vinohrady include EA Hotel Tosca, Czech Inn Hostel, and Arkada Hotel Praha.

With a full width of 3.28 meters, Hotel Clementin Old Town has the unique boast of being based in the narrowest preserved house in Prague. The building dates back to the 14th century but has been recently renovated with cool, contemporary interiors.
There are only nine rooms at the hotel, so there is a true boutique vibe. The rooms are on the smaller side (as can be expected with the narrowest building in the city), but they are all incredibly comfortable and clean. All have stylish furniture and high-quality amenities.
The hotel has a lovely terrace on the street and serves a good buffet breakfast. However, the best thing about Hotel Clementin is perhaps the friendly and attentive staff, especially as, with only nine rooms to serve, they can really focus on helping you make the most of your trip.
Hotel Clementin has an exceptional location at the very heart of Prague’s touristy Old Town. Within a five-minute walk of the hotel, you can reach Charles Bridge, Old Town Square, and several gay venues like Friends, Cafe Bar Flirt, and Sauna Babylonia.

The hotel is made up of several roomy apartments, ranging in size from studio to two-bedroom. Some of the two-bedroom apartments can sleep six people, which makes this a great choice for a group of friends. Every apartment comes with a fully-equipped kitchen (no oven, but there is a hotplate and a microwave) and daily housekeeping included in the rate.

Every apartment has a kitchenette, which comes with a stove, fridge, microwave, and washing machine. Studios, two-person apartments, and five-person apartments are available, with the latter being a particularly good deal for groups of friends. All of them are decorated in a simple but tasteful style that feels more like a residential apartment than a hotel. The Duplex two-person apartment is particularly pleasant and spacious.
