"This small hotel is located right on the Main Street of Karlovy Vary, within a few minites walk to al the spas and mineral water spots. Despite its size, it does have an elevator. The rooms are a bit old but they are clean. The room size is pretty good too. Hotel staff are friendly. The breakfast isn’t something to be raving about, but food in Czech Republic (Karlovy Vary specifically) isn’t a god attraction anyway. "
