Barbora

Room unpleasant, old and damaged furniture, terrible smell during the entire stay. Basic breakfast, not diverse. Billiards and bar closed.In my opinion, the hotel does not deserve 3 stars. I will not go back there for sure.

We were returning to this hotel after having stayed there four years ago. It is a lovely place with friendly staff and fabulous views. It is cheap (£400 for two of us half board for a week) so the accommodation is a bit basic, but clean and functional. The best bit is the fabulous veranda (sometimes spoiled by smokers) from where you can admire the view. It's a great hotel for kids. There is plenty for them to play with on the veranda, and a trampoline and Wendy house at the side, and pool, table tennis and other activities in the basement (also a whirlpool). The breakfasts were ok, though not up to the standard of the German hotels we had come from, and the evening meals were tasty (meat and dumplings or another meat and potatoes, vegetarians would have a hard time). One of our family is a Czech speaker so he did all the ordering, but I think the staff all spoke some English. The waiter seemed to speak about twenty languages. We put drinks on a tab and paid at the end of each evening (about CK850 for 30 drinks between the nine of us). The hotel is on a very steep hill. The town centre is reached on foot by a VERY steep descent. If you are arriving by car (who wouldn't?) do NOT let your satnav make you turn right in the town centre (by the white river bridge opposite). Instead, go on another 300m and take the next turning right, then soon it's sharp right again, and when the road splits into three take the middle option. There is so much to enjoy in this town for all ages, but be warned: if you want the Hotel Barbora experience be quick! Luxury chalets are being built behind the hotel, and the hotel is spoiling their view.........

We've been utilizing the hospitality of the hotel for four nights at the end of the winter season. Average food (well above average were soups) and average accommodation with decent arrangements for small kids (5,5,2). There was all together 12 people joining us for dinners, breakfast and almost no one for lunch. What was outstanding was the atmosphere provided by waiter. He was almost always singing, ready to go extra mile, talking with guests over dinner, fun and smiling.
