Podebrady Castle

5 stars for location, and staff esp Katarina receptionist, breakfast, cleanliness Negative for management, hence giving average 3 stars. I was traveling solo, booked by room in June for Nov stay. For first night I was given a smaller room in unfinished section of hotel in building adjacent to main hotel, which is under construction. The heater in the room did not work. I called and receptionist confirmed that it is not working but was not disclosed to me when giving me the room. After my complain manager came to fix, mocked at me saying 'toughen up'. The heat was set to highest, but still room didn't warm overnight. I gave bad review on Expedia for hotel checkin. Next morning around 8am, receptionist called to say giving me different room. It was right next to her desk, in main hotel building, and big room that I had paid for. So beware when traveling alone, as they will try to squeeze you in tiny room even though you paid for a bigger room. Room had robe, slippers, bath gel, shampoo and lotion. No shower curtain so bathroom gets wet after taking shower. Have to climb over high tub walls to get inside the shower area. Management will try to add tip in the checkout bill. I don't like these sneaky practice. They should be only collecting tax, ask receptionist to remove the tip. Hotel is in nice location, but I can't see staying there again due to shady management.

Great staff, clean and close to metro station. Breakfast Buffet had amazing choices.

The location is perfect. Just around the corner from the famous Charles Bridge and Clementine. All the staff speak good English and very helpful. I will stay here every time I visit this beautiful city. Anafu Kaiser
