My brother and I enjoyed a lovely one-night stay in this charming guesthouse on the steps towards the castle in the heart of Cesky Krumlov's Old Town.
Radek was very helpful and communicative. The room was a little small and cramped, but we expected this. I have however marked down our overall experience because of an inaccuracy in the listing. We specifically booked this location because there was "parking available" listed as "on-site" within the listing.
"Is parking offered on site at Ubytování Zámecké Schody?
Yes. Self-parking costs EUR 10 per night."
"Parking
Self-parking costs EUR 10 per night"
Upon speaking to Radek however it turned out that the parking was available - but not on-site and a 7-8 minute walk away in either the municipal or a private lot (Sestak Frantisek). The municipal lot was far more than EUR 10 (it would have worked out as roughly EUR 20, as the parking charged by the hour. The private lot (which charges EUR 10) was closed when we arrived, but we parked there anyway afterhours (free of charge), and had to check-out extra early in order to avoid incurring fines/penalties once it opened.
The property should make the parking situation a lot clearer, and definitely update the listing to reflect the fact that there is no on-site parking available. Remember that most tourists won't have previously visited Cesky Krumlov so can't be expected to realise the parking situation in advance.
