The location is awesome. The stuff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was amazing.
The shower in the room was old, the shower had wasn’t adjustable, could definitely use an upgrade.
It’s a beautiful hotel with gorgeous architecture and premises. The idea that it’s on the hill further from the center of the city makes it very attractive since it’s quiet and not so crowded.
Thank you for your hospitality.
We had a wonderful stay at Hotel Imperial. The service was excellent, the staff very friendly and helpful, and the food was very good. The hotel is surrounded by beautiful nature and offers lovely views.
We also appreciated the complimentary transportation on two bus routes and the funicular. The only drawback is the hotel’s location on a hill, which can be difficult to walk up without transportation.
Despite this, we would definitely come back and highly recommend Hotel Imperial.
This was my second time at Spa Hotel Imperial. The room was wonderfully maintained. All is perfectly clean and room cleaning ladies do a superb job. Spa offers excellent choices and becher bath is something truly unique. I was able to observe that employees in all areas are kind and take time to help guests. Also, employees at the breakfast restaurant are well trained, kind, pleasant and in one word superb. The Hotel garden is so lovely and provides guests one more area to relax. I love it here and I’ll certainly come again.
The staff were so very friendly.
The breakfast was satisfactory, and great that they had options for non-dairy milk.
The room was OK; the main issue was the bathroom which had no shower curtain or protective door so the floors got wet easily when showering.
The hotel was nice and provided an old world charm. The spa was clean and had many service options. The food was okay, except the Restaurant Paris which was exzellent. The service throughout was a bit slow and not warm.
Super relaxing. Spa choices elite. Food choices elite. It’s a walk to the city center with a massive incline on the way back so be in shape or take the transport provided by the hotel.
Very sharp, professional, helpful and friendly staff.
I visited Karlovy Vary more than 10 times in the last decade and stayed in the other six hotels in the city. I can say for sure that hotel Imperial has the best accommodations among them.
We loved this place it was amazing . I would say the only thing I didn’t like was how far it is from everything. The transit is pretty great though and it doesn’t take long to get to the city centre .
We had a fantastisk time at Imperial.
The room was wonderful, large, clean and with a great view. We had half board and the food was very nice. We loved the pool. It is easy to get to the center with the cable car.
If there is one thing I would change than it would be that there should be a kettle in the room to have some tea as there is a very nice coffee maker.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
Beautiful building in nice surroundings with lovely views over the valley. The reception staff were efficient and helpful.
We ate in all three restaurants during our stay. The food was OK and fairly typical of the area but beware of extras! We were charged 5 euros for tap water, which frankly, is taking the p***.
Also, 20 euro/night for parking a car on top of the room price seems excessive given that the hotel isn't in the centre of town.
Clean hotel, rooms are cleaned every day. Many rooms have balconies. It is overlooking green hills and air around is clean and fresh. We slept with open windows. Rooms are huge, same with bathrooms. Nice furniture in the room. Free transportation to take you down to colonnades. This is a Spa town. Many people come to Karlovy Vary to enjoy hot springs and healing water. Hotel offers good quality home made food buffet style 3 times a day, breakfast, lunch and dinner. You can get SPA procedures of your choice and see the medical specialists as part of hotel services.

Disliked: Staff & service
Poor
The hotel is dated, needs updates but it has its own charm so many will like it as it is a traditional old style building
All in all I was very disappointed
Rooms are large but cold at night we had 2 rooms booked we could not sleep at night due to been very cold complained to the front desk and they couldn't do anything so waiting till the morning and had a lengthy chat with the manager( Blanka) who in the end managed to switch the heating on which helped and offered a free spa treatment which I think was good customer service
The overall feel was not great alot of staff don't speak English so it is difficult to communicate, I felt most staff other then front desk need a lot of customers service training as they are very rude and abrupt and don't have any training to deal with customers
Even at the desk when we checked in the lady on reception said people in this region are different and can be rude !!
I will not stay in this hotel again to sum up things
I moved to another hotel in town and it is fabulous
The location is exceptional!
The stuff was great!
The only suggestion for vegetarian guests: in addition to fruit, it would be nice to add different berries, avocado etc .
