Hedgie is proud of this guide to helping independent travelers can find a Prague hotel with charm, good location, and good value. Our "prickly" reviews are unique: we collect no commissions and thus have no conflict of interest. We can be scathing or enthusiastic without restraint.

We alert you to exaggerations and omissions to watch for, such as misleading online hotel ads that promise you "the center" but locate you on a noisy smoggy throughfare far from public transportation and historic sights.

Our growing list of personally-reviewed hotels gives you insider tips: Are the rooms so tiny you must choreograph your steps with your traveling companion? Is the bathroom a prefab cubicle or an "ultra-chic" creation with transparent walls? Are there comfortable chairs in the lobby? Are there antiques and art in the rooms or just a stiff foam slab to sit on?
