“Budget spa hotel in a beautiful location”

The hotel sits in a picturesque spot overlooking Luhačovice lake, set in lovely countryside with breathtaking views. The building itself reflects Czech history — a communist-era functionalist design with a stark, somewhat brutal beauty and period charm. Rooms are modern and comfortable, with good beds, a balcony, coffee facilities, bathrobes, a fridge, and a strong shower. The restaurant serves buffet-style breakfast and dinner featuring Czech dishes — simple but convenient — and the staff are attentive. The bar is well stocked and staffed by helpful, professional employees; reception is welcoming and obliging. The spa includes two saunas, an ice plunge pool, a small swimming pool, a jacuzzi, massage rooms, and a relaxation area with a salt wall. Towels and sheets are provided. However, because we arrived over a bank holiday weekend, many massage slots were already booked and the pool was closed for a full day. The spa is compact, windowless and feels more utilitarian than luxurious; it can become crowded and feels sparse and somewhat un relaxing and dingy. We enjoyed the hot sauna and ice pool, but the jacuzzi wasn’t hot enough and required an extra fee for half-hour use, which we didn’t find worthwhile. The relaxation zone and overall spa would benefit from significant refurbishment to feel more luxurious and inviting. The single massage we booked felt more like light stroking than a proper treatment. The hotel is of a good value. Visiting in October meant outdoor activities in the area were closed for the season, but we were still able to borrow the hotel’s basic, poorly maintained bicycles for a lovely ride around the lake (except for our teenage son who had repeated problems with the bike chain). We had a lovely time with our grandparents who organized the trip. Some practical disappointments: the pancakes promised with a discount on arrival were unavailable every day — reportedly “sold out” — which seemed avoidable, chefs?! Overall, the region is wonderful, but the hotel has room for improvement. We would happily return to this beautiful part of the Czech countryside, though likely to stay elsewhere — for example, Jurkovičův dům in Luhačovice.

This is a nice and reasonably priced hotel, conveniently located for access to the lake and a short taxi ride (or c.50 min walk) into Luhacovice centre. The free breakfast was great to have but we struggled to get anything to eat at the hotel in the evening. As English tourists with very limited Czech language we did find it a struggle to communicate at this hotel as it wasn’t really geared up for English speakers although the receptionist and bartender knew some English. It would have been good to have some printed information in English about the hotel in the room (e.g. breakfast times, spa information). The room was quite basic but comfortable enough and the balcony was nice with chairs and a view over the lake. The lack of air conditioning meant the room was very hot when we stayed in August. A fan would have been helpful and also a fridge. A safe in the room would have been good too, this is something I generally expect in hotel rooms. FYI to visitors, if staying at this hotel and wanting to walk to luhacovice there are paths either side of the dam (turn right out the back of the hotel along the lake path) which provide a handy short cut - google maps doesn’t seem to know about these. I would recommend this hotel for Czech speaking visitors in spring/autumn. Non-Czech speakers who don’t like sleeping in a sauna may prefer hotel Pohoda which has aircon and English speaking staff (and is closer to the town).
