Where to Stay in Smichov: 10 Best Central Hotels in Prague

Hotel Adler - Czech Leading Hotels is located on the edge of the Old Town, a 5-minute walk from Wenceslas Square and 2 minutes on foot from the nearest metro station - one of the tightest transport-to-price ratios in this central Prague selection.

Room types range from Standard Singles to Executive rooms with executive lounge access, plus Quadruple rooms that accommodate families of four without needing two separate bookings. An airport shuttle, bar, and room service round out the core offer; the property also accepts pets.

• * Quiet street position despite central location, 5 minutes from Wenceslas Square
• * Executive rooms with lounge access and quadruple rooms for groups
