“Great location and value in České Budějovice”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 August 2011
3
people found this review helpful

This hotel is just a few steps off of the old town square. It is also within easy walking distance to the train and bus stations. The staff is friendly and efficient. Breakfast comes with the price of the room, and is quite good, and well varied. Our room was huge, with a very high ceiling. Very spacious, with big, old fashioned double windows. I loved it. TV was only in Czech and German, but I wasn't there to watch TV. The building isn't air-conditioned, which might also be a problem for some people. I found the room quite comfortable nonetheless. The WIFI connection was free, but slow. Their beer hall, Budvarka Beer Hall, is perfect. The food is excellent, and not expensive.The beer is Budvar, arguably the best beer in the world. (Maly Pivovar and Budvarka are owned by the Budweiser Budvar brewery). The two of us had a huge meal with plenty of beer and moravian wine, and with a twenty percent tip, it came to about $38 USD. The hotel is located in very close proximity to a number of good restaurants, bakery/coffee houses, shopping, and an all night bar which serves Pilsner Urquell and Gambrinus. Anywhere in the old part of town is in easy walking distance. Overall a very favorable experience. I would recommend this hotel very highly.

“Good Value and Excellent Location”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 September 2010

We stayed here for 3 nights between visiting Brno and then on to Prague. It’s a decent walk from the train station but still doable, even with luggage. We found it easy enough and checked in with no problems. The hotel was very much as I had expected. A little old fashioned in typical Czech style with furnishings to match but very neat and clean.
The room was huge with lots of storage and a separate seating area. The bed was a little soft compared to what we are used to but it OK. The extra pillows we asked for were delivered straight to our room. The bathroom was also big with a corner bath and hand held shower but no shelving or anything for our toiletries. The soap for the sink and bath were dispensed from a wall mounted bottle.
It was very hot (until the last night when it rained) and aircon would have been nice as we had to sleep with the window open. I asked for a fan but they did not have one.
Breakfast was OK but not the best although there was plenty of choice and the cakes and pastries were especially nice. The coffee was not so good as although it was filter coffee it was kept warm in a large flask which always alters the taste.
The staff were friendly and efficient and always helpful and most of them speak English.
There was plenty of light which I like, except for on the landing and stairs where we nearly risked our lives due to lack of light. We struggled to find the keyhole most of the time as it was so dark.
We had some laundry done for which I asked for a price in advance but when we came to check out the bill was nearly half as much again! The person that quoted me missed out the charge for drying and ironing but as it was a misunderstanding and effectively their mistake they only charged me what they had quoted which I thought was nice.
The pub next door is great and we ate there once and you can get the Kvasnicové on tap which was excellent.
The town itself is nice with a pretty square and there is plenty to do for a few days (we also did day tripc to Ceske Krumlov and one or two breweries). The nearby Indicka Restaurant (just of the square)is fantastic, we ate there twice!
Overall a good hotel, good value for money and I would stop there again if in the area.

“Good for stop-over and great beer hall”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 April 2010

We stayed here for 1 night after visiting Cesky Krumlov. The town is very small, and really not much to see after a quick walkaround. However, it is great as a stop over because the beer hall is good, and the Original Budweiser is excellent.

The room is big, though the old-style furnishings make the room a little dark. The breakfast is typical continental breakfast. The staff friendly.

The car park was a little difficult to find, especially as it is at the road behind the hotel, but on the opposite side. I guess we were looking at the direction of the back of the hotel and thus missed it. It was a long way to go to find a way back because of all the one-way systems.
