Hotels near Karlovy Vary Airport - KLV, Karlovy Vary

I expected it to be my dream place for enjoying a spa experience, and at the end there was nothing available of that sort, maybe only in the very expensive hotels. Mine was a decent hotel, but did not have pool, and there were two public places that were not appealing at all. The town was nice, but most places close very early. I ate a decent meal at the popular Check restaurant in town(had to try at least once), nothing amazing, just ok.

This a very good location to visit local restaurants, which are mostly within 15 min walking distance. There was also a Christmas fare almost right in front of the apartment. All the thermal water sources are within 10 min walk. There are plenty of local thermal spas very close. There is a big city park 15 min from the apartment. This park is perfect for hiking.

Very cute little town - scenic with beautiful buildings. We only stayed one night and would loved to have been there longer to really explore. We ate at one of the beer brewery restuarants around the corner from our accommodation and the food was delicious.

The town is beautiful. There are ONLY TWO PUBLIC SPAS! Thermal Hotel (wish I highly recommend) and Elizabeth Spa. I spent two days trying to find the "Natural Hot Springs" to soak in. Finally, a man at a bar told me there are really only the two. Information Center - there are signs all over the town directing you to the Information Center. Finding it is another thing. There is ONLY ONE, just past Hotel PUPP. This is the ONLY PLACE YOU CAN BUY A REGION CARD! The staff at the information center were very nice and polite. Here's the BUT, they answered every question you asked. BUT, if you didn't know the right question to ask, the information was not offered. This led to MANY trips back to the information center. Region Card - not sure it's really worth it. First, there is not one place to sign up for any attractions (i.e. the underground, walking tours etc.). You have to call a number, which you need to ask for the brochure (see line above) that has the numbers. There is a two-day advance requirement to sign up for anything. For a short trip it just is to hard to do. If I come back, armed with this information, it will make the trip more enjoyable.

It is very easy to get around Karlovy Vary. We been walking 20-24 000 steps a day discovering everyday something new. We took all possible exursions and the one was more favorite was visiting Locket with perfect guide Yelena, she is terrifically good and knowlegebale with such a sense of humor ! Avoid restoran "Kolonada".The soup goulash in bread contained mostly pieces of potatoes and almost none of meat. The "vareniki"/dumplings with potato even don't try- they put them from the store pakage to boil and it taste so bad, sticky dough... In the end while we were asking the bill and waitress did not returned my change of 46 crowns because she saw that we could not eat anything beside borsh... Also my husband ordered the lamb steak with garlic sauce: he got so hard thin piece of fried ( and not grilled as annonced in the menu)meat with 2 small peices of garlic on it... Non tasty , no esthetically attractive- -"0" customer service . AVOID THIS PLACE in front of beautiful Colonada
