Stating a search for accommodation
Contexto cultural
In Czechia, 'Penzion' is often a better choice for a local experience than a 'Hotel'. They are usually cheaper and include breakfast. Prague is divided into districts (Praha 1, Praha 2, etc.). When looking for a hotel, locals will ask which district you prefer. In spa towns, hotels are often called 'Lázeňský dům' (Spa House). Searching for one implies you are there for treatment. Modern travelers in Brno or Prague often look for 'Apart-hotely' which combine hotel services with apartment living.
Add 'Prosím'
Always add 'prosím' (please) to the end to sound more polite: 'Hledám hotel, prosím.'
No 'for'!
Remember: Hledám [Object]. Never Hledám pro [Object].
