I had a very pleasant 2-day stay at this hotel. There is very ample .parking and it is a short bus ride from the main part of Karlovy Vary. I would not describe it as walking distance to town, at least not for most people, because it is on the side of a steep hill overlooking the town. True, you could walk down a series of steps and then back up, but that would be quite a hike. Not to worry: All guests receive a little white card which entitle the holder to free bus rides on the two buses that go from the main street at the hotel to the main bus station. From there it is a short walk to the main drag in Karlovy Vary. The bed was quite comfortable, which is an important point anywhere in the Czech Republic. Most Czech beds are astonishingly hard and very uncomfortable. Here the bed was normal and very comfortable. The breakfast was hearty, and your room rate includes free use of the sauna and whirlpool, which were open from 4PM to 8PM, a great way to wind down after a brisk walkabout in town. There is essentially nothing in the immediate vicinity of the hotel, so you must use its facilities or go into town. I did not find this to be a problem as Karlovy Vary is quite small and easy to navigate. Since I had a car, a more central location would have been less, not more, convenient.
