Bristol Palace

Eingeschränkte Parkmöglichkeiten in der Nähe.

Big swimmingpool, but a little bit cold on the last day.

Good things: Beautiful architecture, decent sized room, fairly comfortable bed, use of spa facilities, nice staff who tried their best to help you, asking which language you spoke, no one nagging you, chilled bar, breakfast included. Less good things: The 100s of steps and hills to get to the place. We didn't see any buses in all the time we were lugging around suitcases..or taxis (we did try!) so it was really hard work. Better signage would help. Better/thicker curtains required in the room so the light doesn't wake you up at the crack of dawn. Checking in took ages. Only two staff on reception having to deal with lots of things, so not their fault but the company need to employ more FOH staff. Guest are tired and want to get to their room. The pool was freezing and it should be warmer to sit under the water shoots. (all other spa facilities were fine) The tunnels are hard to navigate and dark in places. Some of it made me feel like Nurse Rachett was going to appear! Most signs are still in Russian. A tip- follow the brown tiles to lead you there.

Classic hotel Classic hotel a little way out of the center. Retains much of the original style. Warning: you have to book parking in advance: there are no other possibilities close by.

sehr schönes Hotel für Kurzurlaub Das Hotel hat wirklich Stil man fühlt sich beinahe in eine "alte Zeit" zurückversetzt. Das Frühstück könnte etwas umfangreicher sein, es war aber grundsätzlich schon ausreichend. Irritierend war lediglich, dass man am Abend ein der Bar mehr als 10 Minuten auf ein Bier warten musste, obwohl überhaupt nichts los war (offenbar hat die Bedienung den Zapfhahn nicht richtig bedienen können)

Russian Hill in Karlovy Vary Way up a hill far away from the main areas. Mostly Russian guests, with service catering to them and little English spoken. Check in took forever and check out is at 10 am, unforgivable. Breakfast was nasty but the cafe server was very hospitable and housekeeping was fine.
