Hotels Near Supermarket BILLA in Karlovy Vary

I'm currently staying at the Olympic Palace and booked it because the reviews were so good - not because it looked amazing or because the price was good - neither was the case. I just wanted the nicest hotel in town besides Pupp. Unfortunately, this hotel was way below even a four star standard. We paid 300 euro/night and called ahead to ask if we could pay a bit extra to upgrade to a larger room with a balcony. They offered a Deluxe Room with a Balcony for 20 euro extra per night. When we arrived at midnight, there was only one poor woman at the reception who was brand new on the job. She tried so hard but it took 10 minutes just to process our documents and then when I confirmed it would be a Deluxe Room with Balcony, she said no - but that we were charged the 20 euros anyways. When I asked about the larger room, she said it would be over 100 euro/night and would take a very long time to get us in a room like this. We just wanted to sleep so took the small room, which was not very nice. The shower head did not work the entire time, neither did the AC. My assistant called ahead to book a spa afternoon for us and ask what the spa would recommend. We tried calling the spa the day-of and they never picked up. We went down and were told to return in our robes. There was no spa reception. We were told to go back up to our room and find the paper with our spa confirmations and go directly to those rooms. It was the most rushed massage I've ever had - even before my back hit the bed, it started on my feet. It was a fine massage, but not what I'd expect from a spa hotel. Afterwards, the spa staff had recommended the ”salt room” - we were excited, thinking this must be some kind of salt scrubbing room or unique experience. No. It was a room with fake salt hanging from the ceiling, very cold AC, and beds with dirty blankets thrown over us, sitting in lawn chairs. It was supposed to be a 45 min experience - just sitting in the chairs doing nothing. We left immediately. The spa team, when we finally found them, said ”it's supposed to be like smelling the salt in the ocean” - it was a hilarious excuse for a spa treatment, which we're still laughing about. They tried to charge 30 euro for this. The pool person (once we found him) also said the pool was thermal waters. They were not. The service here is limited, the property is nothing special, the price is high compared to the rest of the town, the spa is not nice, spa staff are nowhere to be found, the system is confusing, and it was by no means relaxing.

My stay at the Astoria Hotel was absolutely wonderful. Located right on the colonnade, you're in for a real treat - I was lucky enough to have a breathtaking view of the historic Karlovy Vary! :) The staff was incredibly kind and friendly, providing us with great recommendations on what to do in the city. The room was beautiful and clean. The breakfast selection was rich and satisfying. I wholeheartedly recommend it for a romantic weekend getaway or a rejuvenating family stay. :)

The view is a city view room, the view from the window is very good, very close to the various attractions, breakfast is very rich, the important point is that the quilt is really soft and very light but very warm ~ no kind of hotel quilt feels a little wet, the room is very Big and very warm, I really like this hotel~Recommended recommendation, the price is very high~ If you want to go, you can ask the local traffic information of the hotel front desk, also help us to inquire and print it~ Figure 1 is taken from the window of the room we live in. ~

The hotel is located in the beautiful old town of Karlsbad, closely connected by a staircase with the beautiful flanish miles near the Goethe Café and the public Geysir. The reception of the hotel, which came to the years, was friendly and our room was good. There was no water cooker in the room, but on request at the reception we were cooked water for tea preparation. The breakfast was served in buffet form and quite easy. It was not a luxury hotel, yet we found it a little fun that the lady who made the breakfast service did it in grey jogging shirts. Price performance was very good. The shower was dish and there was no shower gel.

We were looking for a dog-friendly hotel, which often limits the choice a bit. The main features of the Hotel Palacky were the location and the value for money. The hotel is in a fantastic location right on Stará Louka, the ”promenade” of Karlovy Vary. Both the famous colonnades and the entrance to the cable car towards the ”Diana” lookout tower are almost around the corner. Surprisingly, I was able to sleep very well in the beds and cannot agree with the complaints, at least on this point. Now to the points that unfortunately attracted negative attention: the reception was not manned at check-in, our key was on the counter together with an information letter - this is uncomplicated, but everyone could simply come in and ”move into” our booked room. since nothing had to be shown or checked (as well?!). The room itself was large with an additional hallway and separate bathroom and toilet - which I personally find very convenient. Unfortunately the room was not cleaned during the whole stay. You don't have to do a big cleaning every day, after all you don't do that at home either. I also find the daily change of towels unnecessary. But if you have a dog with you and the entire room is carpeted, a little vacuuming would have been appreciated. The garbage should also be emptied, because there was only one small hygiene bucket in the toilet for the entire room - everything that accumulated in waste had to be disposed of there. The supply of toilet paper should also be checked once in a while and refilled if necessary. We found a fairly large crack in the window pane of our room - dangerous and unsightly! However, what was cleaned every day was the restaurant which is located in the hotel. There was vacuumed daily at breakfast time, so that you were always exposed to the noise during the meal, since the restaurant - with an open ceiling - is located directly under the breakfast room. It goes without saying that it is commendable and also acceptable that vacuuming is done every day, but I wonder whether this can be discussed and planned differently. Breakfast was until 10 a.m. - maybe you can do other activities first and vacuum from 10 a.m.? Due to the room layout of the house, one inevitably gets the impression that vacuuming is carried out right next to the dining table. The breakfast was okay, you shouldn't expect luxury in this price and hotel category. There was enough choice, it was always refilled and you were full - at home I don't have 5 types of bread in stock, which I serve every day. However, a little more choice of fruit would have been nice (there were apples every day, but nothing more). Unfortunately, there is no hotel parking lot - you should

1. I stayed in the hotel with a little bit of anticipation and expectations. The reason is that I read many reviews before booking. Some are not very good, most of them are old equipment, and the service attitude is poor. Old equipment is a fact. Service I think the attitude is okay, the handsome waiter at the counter, good English and good attitude! 2. A little puzzled, come to check-in during the off-season, the hotel's housing rate is low, but the room for us is a mountain wall, there is no view at all room type, the mood is disappointed! 3. The hotel is divided into the main building and the annex building. It is evaluated that someone has stayed in the annex building, even the restaurant for breakfast, and the restaurant in the main building is not a grade. The main building. Sure enough, staying in the main building, the breakfast restaurant is too beautiful, the breakfast is also great, is the biggest highlight of the stay!

Věry lovely hotel. City Center , gorgeous swimming pool with amazing view, great breakfast. Very Good Wellness zone and exclusive Thaj massage, which I really liked. The Best weekend stay I can reccommend

I visited this medical Spa without a hotel reservation, in order to get some relaxation, treatment and other possible activates that may be beneficial for the body and health. it was June 2023 after I found the castle Spa closed. I spoke to the reception who told me that they don't have any medical offers like the castle spa, but they only treat the patients that staying at the hotel depending on the condition they came for. Anyway, they allowed me to enter the medical spa and see what possible procedure I can have. They choose for me 6 procedures as per the availability and don't need a doctor consultation. I remember 3 of them which were… Thai massage – Oxygen therapy – Bubbly Magnesium bath.. In additional to use the Sauna, steam and swimming pool.

My impression after I finished: »it's really doesn't worth it« The place is very cool, clean and amazing like a palace. The staff was very very helpful, polite and nice talking. I really thank you all. Treatment, or let's say procedures – activities. Etc. - the ones I got were very ordinary and neither I nor my body needed them. I regretted not getting the two-hour Thai massage session available in the designated Thai shops within the town, along with all the other services attached to it. it will be better, comfortable and satisfaction.

The building is impressive, enthroned up on the east hillside of Karlovy Vary. Habsburgian vibes reminiscent of ancient days. Imperial is in good condition and nicely renovated. The scale of the building is huge and dimensioned for thousands of guests. Walking around takes quite a bit of time but with lesser amount of guests than the mentioned thousand, it feels quite lonely to stroll the corridors... The public areas are mostly beautiful, but the five official stars... no, unfortunately not. What is lacking? Well, the scale of the property demands to keep it running. To keep it running you have to have a lot of guests. Thus, you have to attract people who not usually are in the ”five star category”. And so they (try to) do. Many things turn to ”cantina” standard in respect of both the reception and ”handling” of the guests and the dining options. Very tired staff at check in. One example: in the main lobby there are only two elevators, whereof one at our visit was out of order. Another elevator in another part of the hotel did not serve all the floors. Nah.... Rooms are renovated and just fine. All amenities and a good night's sleep in comfy beds. Nice with a small balcony. For those having some sort of boarding agreement, dinner is served as a buffet dinner in the magnificent ”Prague restaurant” with lavish decoration. A buffet is hardly a concept in a real five star hotel and we consequently had dinner in the more intimate ”Restaurant Paris” - see my separate review. In ”Prague” breakfast is also served, which proved to be a great gathering of all the hotel guests at the same time. More like a school cantina than a five star hotel. Everything in place though, and most thing you would want is there to find. Queues to the coffee machines... Parking was ”doen the hill” and we ended up parking on a tennis court (!). OK - no problem, but not in the ballpark of attending staff helping you with the parking facilities. Staff correct and polite. But very stiff. And tired. Many steps behind service of a true 5-star. It's about price/performance. We had the opportunity to stay at three different hotels at Karlovy Vary during our stay. And one of those was the Grandhotel Pupp, which we considered to be much more lika a true five star. AND they are/were cheaper! So, you may well stay at Imperial, just for the sake of the building's eminent history and athmosphere. But be aware that days gone by since the turn of the century does not apply in the respecto of ”grand” anymore.

It's a Really great place to spend a weekend, or more. We have been there in a winter time, so I can just imagine how gorgeous it could be in a summer time. It was a birthday celebrations, so everything was really on a top level - starting from services, cousine, waiters, atmosphere etc. For sure I'll be back, Cihelny!
