Hotel u České Koruny

This is not a hotel--not between 7 pm and 9 am. It is an essentially empty building with rooms in it. I was traveling through the area and Hradec Kralove was a good stopping point. This looked like a nice enough small hotel from the website. But when when I got there, there is no one there. I got an email the night before informing me of the dismal office hours and with instructions on how to access the room. I got a code to punch in. This was much more like an airbnb-type place, only not really furnished and nothing but a bed, a tiny fridge and a small shower room. Plus side: the wifi worked great. The website says that parking is available. Yeah, right. Public parking a good 10 minutes walk away. It was snowy and icy. Beware! if you have walking/balance issues. You CANNOT park on the street or you will get towed. They knew I was driving and needed to park, but they didn't arrange anything. Once I got there and discovered the parking situation, I called a number hanging on a wall and though the young lady was literally just 50 yards away in a different building, she couldn't come to give me a parking pass for the night on the street. I had to drive to the public parking garage and then walk back. At least I didn't get towed while figuring it out. At least the room was very clean - 100% wood floors. Think Spartan. The heating is old radiator style. Not efficient. No breakfast. I left early and checkout was simply leaving the room door closed. I will go elsewhere next time.

I had an accident on my way to hotel and ringed to reception bell on 22:00, where I was informed that check-in is until 21:00. I apologized that I was not able to come earlier due to accident, I am in the stress and very politely asked if they could let me in, that I was riding more than 4 hours and had accident. No, they were not willing ( I understand she was 1 hour home that time), but instead to help me solve this situation, she explained to me what everything I have made wrong. I said my sorry again and asked why they have not called me that they are closing and I m not checked in (had chat via reservation system with my phone No). No reply. I was really desperate, at the end I have asked her if there is any place to stay, she recommened me something what I could not find. Women at reception even did not say she is sorry :( It seems to me that I was too decent and behave too well comparing their manners. They left me at the street at the night as woman alone. This is not ok. Business is not only about the rules, but about wilingnes to handle critical situation. At the end I have mobilized myself, found another hotel where staff was really nice and prepared breakfast just for me even if I was the only one guest and make reservation and check in that day 22.00.

Parking in front of the hotel is expensive so I parked in the nearby garage, making luggage management a bit challenging. The room was pleasant but work was being done right outside my window so it was a bit noisy in the morning. The area is wonderful with excellent restaurants within minutes outside the entrance. The free breakfast was very good.

Very good choice. The location is perfect in the center with a lot of restaurants and pubs in the surrounding streets. Rooms are big, even some of them with small kitchen as an apartment. Breakfast is enough. Bad points are parking that is not indicated where to park when you arrive after reception hours, and the reception hours that are very limited, only until 7:00 pm that is very short time.

Great historic hotel with proper amenities, one street behind Hradec K. downtown, plenty of places to eat and shop nearby

Cosy accommodation in Hradec Kralove city center. Free parking on the street in front of the Hotel. Good breakfast, arranged bit earlier than regular hours due to kindness of Hotel staff. Will stay again.

I stayed at U Ceske Koruny for one night. The receptionist was nice, I have no complaints to make. She greeted me warmly, showed me around the ground floor and briefly explained the check-out process. I was pleasantly surprised to find out there were free water and coffee dispensers for guests at the lobby. I was given room number 9. While the room itself was fine, quite spacious and had all the basic amenities, unfortunately it had no view, so the two medium-sized windows were useless at that point. In front of them, terribly close, was a bleak wall. The TV had plenty of channels to choose from, in Czech and Polish. The Wi-fi was very fast! The breakfast (served from 7:30 until 9:30 if I'm not mistaken) was downstairs in the basement. There was nobody at the entrance, just a table on which was placed a list of rooms and, next to each, space for a signature. The selection of products was rather dissatisfying, but the breakfast was NOT bad - my cereals with milk and a bun with honey and butter were delicious, in fact. I simply am of the opinion that it lacked in variety, there could be a bit more to choose from (+ I suggest adding more lactose-free and vegan products). If you enjoy a fancy breakfast, just visit one of the many amazing cafeterias nearby instead. Overall, I enjoyed my stay, so if I ever return to Hradec Kralove, I'll probably visit U Ceske Koruny again.
