Ok, this is a charming, clean and quaint pension in the heart of the old town but it has a number of issues that one needs to consider before booking it. Firstly, while the hotel information suggests that parking is available it is no where near the Svambersky dum itself. The hotel has an arrangement with the Eggenberg Brewery which is some distance away - on arrival you are given a mud-map and some garbled instructions (see next point) on how to reach it. We arrived in the evening and by the time we had found the hotel it was getting dark. I won't go in to detail, but navigating the complex nest of tiny roads in the old town to the carefully hidden carpark of the brewery, located on the outskirts of the old town, in the dark was somewhat of a nightmare seconded only by trying to relocate the hotel on foot in the dark. Having arrived in Cesky Krumov around 6.40pm, by the time we had done all of this we sat down to dinner, exhausted, at 9.15pm. Secondly, the woman who appears to be in charge (it is hard to tell at first) is constantly on the move, speaks very little English and seems generally flustered by your presence, especially if you ask any questions - for answers she gabbles at you non-stop in Czech as if you were a native speaker until you give up and go away. Thirdly, and probably the most annoying, is the fact that the hotel is located next door to the La Boheme nightclub which is open late and plays interminable, loud doof-doof music well into the night after which it ejects its noisy patrons out onto the pavement underneath your window. We had very little sleep on both Friday and Saturday nights which made our stay in the lovely old town a weary one. On the bright side the rooms are large and clean (although several things in our bathroom were broken) and the food is very good and very reasonable.

We stayed at this hotel at the beginning of December to escape from the pre-Christmas stress in Prague. Cesky Krumlov is a lovely town and has a uniquely preserved historical center. This hotel is in the middle of the town and we really enoyed it. It is very personal and located in an authenic historical building. The rooms are very large which is nice. We stayed at a double room with a bathroom that had a bathtub. Overall we find it a very good value for money and a nice change from impersonal large hotel chains. Plan to stay again.

We stayed for 1 night at this Pension, in the luxury attic suite. Whilst booking it, I went for the most expensive option as I was lured by the photograph of a bath amongst the photos of the accommodation. However, I was disappointed to find there was no bath when we arrived. One wonders that if the bath is not included with the most expensive level of room they offer, then where is it?

However, the loft room was adequate. It could have been cosier, it was furnished with cheap IKEA furniture, but it was clean and served its purpose. The place is mainly a restaurant, and the guy who checked us in and then served us dinner a little while later seemed indifferent to us. He was quite inattentive during dinner, he sat and chatted with some of his friends and we had to wait until he finished before we were served.

The location was good, it was walking distance to everything else in Cesky Krumlov. There was no internet access. Breakfast was nice and was served in the restaurant.
