Bila Vrana
A friendly cafe-bistro (the name means “White Crow”) with a blended team of staff with and without disabilities, providing dignified jobs since 2011. Come for the coffee, breakfast and the good it does.
Prague
Ticha Kavarna
A gentle “quiet cafe” staffed since 2011 by deaf and hard-of-hearing baristas – order by pointing or signing, and enjoy good coffee and cake in a calm space that doubles as job training. Kind and quietly special.
Czech Inn
A polished design hostel in trendy Vinohrady with dorms, privates and a genuinely cool basement bar – the sociable, affordable base with a local neighbourhood on the doorstep.
Cafe Therapy
The Czech Republic’s first work-integration social enterprise, opened in 2005, employing and retraining people rebuilding their lives after addiction or prison. A warm cafe-restaurant where a good meal genuinely helps.
Andaz Prague
A design-led luxury hotel in a restored 1920s bank near the Old Town, with playful Czech-inspired interiors, a buzzy bar and a spa. Polished but relaxed, and very central.
Vintage Design Hotel Sax
A fun, retro design hotel on a steep Mala Strana lane below the castle, decked out in playful mid-century style around a glass atrium. Characterful and quiet, minutes from the Charles Bridge.
Mosaic House
A design hotel-and-hostel hybrid in the New Town with serious eco credentials (greywater recycling, green energy) and a lively music bar. Rooms from dorms to smart doubles – something for every budget.
Miss Sophie’s
A stylish industrial-chic boutique (with a hostel wing) on a quiet street near the National Museum – exposed brick, good design and warm staff at a fair price. A long-time traveller favourite.
Golden Well (U Zlate studne)
A tiny, romantic luxury hotel hidden on a stepped lane just below the castle, with some of the best rooftop-terrace views in the city and a much-praised restaurant. A hushed, special-occasion hideaway.
Hotel Josef
A sleek, light-filled design hotel on a quiet Old Town street, all glass and clean lines, with a famously good breakfast. Central, stylish and calm – a reliable modern base.
