Miss Sophie's Olomouc - Boutique Hotel

We spent one night at Miss Sophie's hotel and it was great. The room was spacious and bright, we had a large bathroom. We had a very tasty breakfast downstairs in the cafe. All the staff people we met were very nice and smiley and made our stay very enjoyable. The location of the hotel is great, you are close to all the interesting places in the centre of Olomouc. When booking, count on the fact that there are only stairs to get to the rooms. :) For us it was no problem.

We arrived in Olomouc by train. Took no X4 streetcar to the hotel. The hotel is very rustic and enhanced the experience of the historical downtown which is only a couple minutes walk. We checked in in the coffee shop next door.The young woman who took care of us was excellent and spoke very good English. The only thing I would caution light sleepers is the noise of the streetcars below but personally, it did not bother us.

My two nights at Miss Sophie's in Olomouc was in the middle of six weeks away, involving eight or nine hotels. Miss Sophie's was way up the top. Where to start? The warmth of all the staff, mostly young people. The location, right on a tramline from the main station and a few minutes from the central historic squares. The rooms - my room had a view onto the street. The owners have done a fabulous job converting the old building into a hotel, with wonderfully inventive use of old building materials eg the tiles in the bathroom. The cafe / drinks area at the rear of the ground level became a favourite place in Olomouc. This room, which is used for breakfast, is open late and attracts a range of people who clearly love the ambience and friendly welcome from the staff. I strongly recommend Olomouc eg the bishop's palace is now an astonishing museum and suggest you stay at Miss Sophie's. I will be looking into the hotels this small boutique chain operates in other cities when I'm planning my next trip to Europe.
