Hotel U Kata

I struggled to rate my stay here, but the 4-star rating is based on paying a budget price and the expectations that would follow the price. Pros -- Convenient location to explore Kutna Hora. Friendly service at the hotel (though not so much the restaurant). Decent breakfast included in the room price. Steps from a truly authentic Thai massage (every bit as good as you'd find in Bangkok). Cons -- Room smelled of mildew (and I am quite allergic). Terrible dinner at restaurant. There was some construction going on in the area where I stayed, so the mildew smell might have been specific to my room. Otherwise the room was clean and comfortable enough for the price. I would keep low expectations for the restaurant, though it was crowded when I was there (room at the bar only). I ordered the duck, and had to check a couple of times to confirm I was chewing on meat and not bone it was so dry.

Pro: price-quality, location, good breakfast, free parking. We ate there in the restaurant in the evening and the food was not great, but not bad at all. Con: no shower curtain, you can clean the bathroom after showering. Too hot in the room even though it was only 20 degrees that day (you did have a fan on the table).

Have stayed in a lot of hotels while traveling in the Czech Republic over the last 15 years. This one is pretty good. The rooms are not air conditioned but have fans. The windows have no screens but can be opened. Some rooms on the road side are noisy. Beds are hard. Not firm. Hard. The restaurant is very good with excellent service. Easy parking on site. Great location in Kutna Hora. The food is good but only standard Czech meals. Pilsner Urquel beer on tap which is the best. Wine is just ok. Recommend. Would return.
