Hotels Near Christmas house in Karlovy Vary

My wife and I stayed here for three nights in late September, ‘22. It is just the kind of place we like – lots of character and charm, small yet large enough to provide privacy, a number of upscale features without being exclusively expensive. We enjoyed our stay and wouldn’t hesitate to return. The location is excellent, near the Grand Hotel Pupp, at the beginning of the river promenade, not far from the Opera House. There are many shops and restaurants nearby along the promenade on both sides of the river. The hotel has a number of reserved parking spaces along the promenade, and more in a lot nearby. The lobby/bar area is cozy and there is an excellent restaurant that connects with the lobby (we ate there one night and recommend it highly). The front desk staff was friendly, welcoming, and helpful. Our room (201) was very large, with windows facing the river and promenade. It was tastefully decorated with period-style furniture. There was a comfortable 4-poster canopy king bed, two night stands minibar, desk, two arm chairs and a small table, a sofa, and a large armoire with safe in the entry way. The large marble-tiled bathroom was very attractive, with a separate tub & shower, and a nice amount of counter and shelf space. The room had radiator heat which was effective and responsive. There wasn’t a.c. but this would likely be unnecessary most of the time. Wife was strong and fast. Breakfast was served in a very pleasant central atrium area and was excellent. Overall, we recommend the Embassy very highly if you like a smaller hotel with character, comfort, and good service. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

Fantastic location and view, parking little difficult to get to at back of the the hotel up a very steep hill. But got there and there was parking spaces free Staff were friendly, English language skills on reception was almost non existent but we managed to get by okay Good food for breakfast and evening meal considering the low half board price. As far as hotel food goes was reasonable quality and good selection My only negative was a resident who was. Parked next to me though I had dented his car with my door opening and the hotel gave him my room number directly rather than contacting me which was disturbing not respecting my privacy and then been hassled by a German speaking person who insisted that I damaged his car. Luckily with my communication skills I could explain him it was a physical impossibility and he accepted that Otherwise great place super location much cheaper than hotel Pupp and better location

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

10 star for this hotel and customer service. I booked a 5x night stay in this hotel for my mum and her partner, for 70th birthday, and everything from start to bottom was absolutely perfect. Customer service as great as it can only get. Rooms stunning, restaurant, food, services, spa etc, not a bit that would need improving. Everything absolutely fabulous. I can only recommend to anyone who would like to visit Karlovy Vary. Thank you to all the staff in Corso hotel with all the help I needed during the booking, and my mum during her stay with you.

Stayed here for a few nights for work during the 57th Karlovy Vary Film Festival. I liked this hotel although it was pretty hard to judge it properly as the entire place was PACKED due to the film festival with all areas and many floors of the hotel being used by companies and displays. It is a bit of an oddity in Karlovy Vary as it's a modern 15 floor tower / conference centre in a town full of Czech old world buildings (I can only imagine the uproar when they planned it). So it's a hotel that also has Spa / Medical Treatment / Swimming pool, thermal pool / pool party / conference centre and restaurants. It seems to be modern by local standards - I was in a superior room with a balcony on the 13th floor with great views. The room had all the mod cons available in most decent hotels, good wi-fi, USB Power outlets, nice firm bed, good regular housekeeping. One thing I noticed was that the beds didn't have a separate sheet, only a fitted sheet and then a throw over dooner - no big deal, just different. Downstairs restaurant doing breakfast / lunch / dinner with a lot of options and really good wait staff. There's a large separate building (accessed by hill climbing elevator) that has an outdoor heated pool, thermal pool, saunas, change facilities - there was also a Pool Party with DJ, bar etc on the weekend days / nights (I assume that's just in summer or just during the film festival). I believe you get complimentary access to the pools /saunas for a couple of hours every day of your stay - I used it every morning for laps, it was great. In the pool complex there's also a decent restaurant with amazing views. As I said, the place was packed and the staff all seemed to handle it well. Everything you could want outside the hotel is a short walk away and there's SO many restaurants / bars etc to choose from. Karlovy Vary wasn't on my list of places to visit, but now that I've been there I'd consider going back.

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.

Central located in the heart of Karlovy Vary. Everything looks new, is in very good conditions and is very clean. The hotel gives you the charm and atmosphere of the old glory days. It has a lift and a water dispenser in the lobby. The breakfast room is like a five star restaurant. One negative point - breakfast starts at 8.30 am only and you are later, they might run out of several things. All in all - highly recommended!

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

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. ~

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. :)
