Prague is still one of the cheapest major cities (if not the cheapest) in Western/Central Europe. You can easily get by on €50 per day during your trip to Prague and you could budget this even lower. If you want to save on accommodation, then take a look at my guide to cheap hostels in Prague. Hostel prices in Prague start at as little as €8 per night.
All of the hostels on this list offer either mixed, male, or female dorm rooms. These are always the cheapest options. And of course, you’ll get the chance to meet fellow travelers and pick up tips on what to see and do. Hostels often offer other ways to save money, such as communal kitchen facilities where you can cook your own meals and some hostels also offer very cheap meal options. All the hostels listed below have WiFi included and all hostels have good reviews on Hostelworld.
