I had a wonderful stay at Gran Hotel Zvon. The location was amazing, not just being right on the town square, but was within walking distance of the train and bus stations (15 mins) as well as Budweiser brewery (25 mins). The hotel breakfast was plentiful, and the free minibar was beyond expectations what with being replenished every day. I found the bed incredibly comfy, and was pleasantly surprised at what i got for my money, as my budget didnt cover the higher priced rooms, but i still got a wonderfully spacious room with bathtub which was welcomed after walking around all day. I may not have got a room overlooking the square but that isnt what its all about..i had a good nights sleep every night, i was in a fab central location, close to so many good places to eat including Solnice and Masne Kramy (amazing food and drinks in both places) so i really couldnt have chosen a better place for my base while in Ceske Budejovice.
