Location
Reviews and Ratings
The hotel's rooms are huge and comfortable, but the interior feels a bit dark. The service was generally very professional, although the language barrier was a drawback. The location is ideal for exploring, but noise levels can be disruptive. The dining experience was terrific with a wide selection of high-quality food. The facilities provided added convenience during the stay.
The hotel exudes elegance, though I had to address an issue with the manager at the front desk. The room was simply gorgeous, showcasing a modern charm.
The hotel is located by the river, surrounded by boutiques and restaurants. The rooms are bland and lack coziness, with water spilling everywhere due to the bath/shower setup. However, the breakfast buffet offers a wide selection and dinner is quite tasty.
The hotel offers very spacious rooms with high ceilings, ideal for those seeking comfort and relaxation. Although the interior design tends towards darker tones, providing a cozy ambiance, the limited natural light may give a perpetual 'evening' feel, which could impact the overall mood. Opting for front rooms is highly recommended for a better experience.
I was thrilled with the location of the hotel, nestled in Karlovy Vary, between the GrandHotel Pupp First Class and the GrandHotel Pupp DeLuxe. The rooms, while somewhat bleak, provided a decadent atmosphere with a view of the promenade. The service excelled, with personalized check-in and detailed explanations, despite minor pillow size astonishments. The dining experience, although hit and miss, was enjoyable with a large standard menu. The modern design and unisex location added to the overall charm of the hotel.
The hotel has a great location with stunning views of the town and a lovely Christmas decor. The rooms are outdated with old furniture and limited amenities, but the dining experience is fantastic with a wide selection of delicious options. The service is generally friendly, although some staff members may be underqualified. Overall, a mixed experience with some highlights and drawbacks.
My stay at this hotel was truly remarkable. The room, which was a superior corner room on the top floor with balconies and a unique view of Karlovy Vary, was simply stunning with breathtaking chandeliers and a wonderful view of the river and town outside. The service was exceptional, with friendly staff who even remembered my name and greeted me warmly every time I returned to the hotel. The location, surrounded by beautiful hotels and old growth fir trees near the hot springs, was fantastic and peaceful. The dining experience, offering a large selection of delicious dishes, was sumptuous and catered to all tastes. Overall, my stay was nearly perfect, with just one minor exception.
Staying at this hotel was a real treat! The rooms felt like being a movie star, with stunning views of the river and heated floor and towels in the bathroom. It was so convenient to have a short walk through the hallway to the spa, where we could even stroll over in our hotel robes and slippers. The only downside was the slightly old-fashioned vibe, lacking air conditioning and featuring a quirky old TV.
The hotel has a unique old-fashioned charm with eclectic furniture solutions and breathtaking chandeliers, making it an excellent choice for a stay. However, some rooms may require repairs and have inadequate materials for a 5-star hotel.
The hotel offers spacious and well-appointed rooms with some drawbacks such as poor lighting and lack of air conditioning. The service provided is top-notch, with friendly and helpful staff available for all needs. The location is excellent, situated at the end of a scenic promenade. The dining experience is quite good, though could use some improvement in variety. Overall, a comfortable stay with great service and an unbeatable location.
I had a lovely stay at the hotel. The rooms, though a bit old, still felt luxurious and were quite spacious. The service was exceptional, with attentive staff eager to assist. The location was peaceful and scenic, perfect for relaxation. The dining experience was good overall, with a mix of positives and negatives. The facilities were well-maintained and added to the comfort of the stay.
