Tatyana and Andrey Nechaev, Moscow

Ekaterina, good afternoon! Thank you, I had a great trip, the room was just what I wanted (with a view of the park and a bathroom). I was very satisfied. Thank you.

The only thing is that the transfer besides me met more women who were brought to Karlovy Vary and I had to travel instead of 2 hours from Prague to Marianske Lazne for 3 hours. It certainly was not convenient, I was brought in the evening. Of course, it would be more convenient to fly to Karlovy Vary.

Larisa, Perm

Hello Ekaterina. Our trip was a success.

The hotel is good. Repair, furniture, plumbing, bed linen - in excellent condition, no comments. Very clean and comfortable.

Breakfasts were the same every day, but with a good assortment - so you could diversify your menu simply by choosing different dishes.

There is a kettle, tea, coffee, sugar, cream in the room. We enjoyed. Tea was added daily. Linen and towels were changed twice a week.

The hotel is located in a quiet area, there is no noisy crowd. There are several direct tram routes to the center (both to the railway station and to shopping centers and to the main attractions).

Drive less than half an hour. 2 stops near the hotel: one directly under the windows, the other in 5 minutes walking distance.

Lyubov Leonidovna, Moscow

Ekaterina, hello! I apologize that I didn’t drop a couple of lines for you earlier: I was raking things, sorting out my suitcase - or vice versa.
