EA Zamecky Hotel Hruba Skala

I really enjoyed staying here. If you love history, this is the place for you. Stay in a centuries-old castle? Yes please! My room was spacious and comfortable, but dated. The bathroom was of good quality. Stepping into the corridor and seeing all of the art was something I appreciated. WiFi was patchy but if you’re looking for the latest mod-cons, don’t choose a 14th century castle. Views around the place were beautiful. I enjoyed both evening meals in the restaurant and was satisfied with the buffet breakfast, too. Like hiking? There are lots of options. Beautiful scenery. I visited the spa and it was very reasonably priced. I travelled from Prague by train and took a taxi from Turnov station. All very easy. I recommend visiting this place.

The rooms are located in this Middle age castle and are very spacious. Getting hot water in the shower may take some time but it comes ! The view outside the window is amazing : forests, rocs, green scenery. The breakfast is very nice and rich. Both Denisa and Tereza at the reception are very friendly and ready to help, to explain the walking or cycling tours around the castle. The parking inside the hotel area is charged 200 CZK (2024). Place to recommend !

The location is great and just what I wanted: perfect views and access to amazing trails through the Cesky Raj. It was also great to have a restaurant on site, as we were travelling by train and couldn't drive anywhere else in the evenings. We found all the staff very nice too. I am bit more ambivalent about the rooms, though. There are some stellar reviews written recently by people on walking tours, so maybe they get the best rooms. We opted for a double with a view, which is a more expensive type than some of the others, and which according to the hotel's site came with armchairs, blackout blinds and a mini bar. In fact, it was rather small with just one straight-backed chair and an empty fridge, one window had no blind so light came in, and the bed was rammed into a narrow corner so one person slept against a wall and had to climb in and out over the foot of the bed. I've stayed in a few castles which have slightly worn or dated accommodation (e.g. Czocha in Poland), but they are usually cheaper than this one. For the money charged, the room was bit disappointing.

Beautiful hotel in a superb location. We stayed as part of on OnFoot holiday. The welcome was superb with spacious rooms and great views over the rock towns We ate in the hotel for both nights and the foot was very good and service was excellent Tomas who was always there was very professional and the quality of the food was very good

Spent 2 nights here while on a walking holiday. We spent up for a suite and it was large and comfortable with a separate room with a chair and couch. The bed was comfy and it was quiet. And loved waking up to the birds singing away. The hotel room was clean and had a fridge and my wife LOVED the bathtub after a couple of long hikes. Winner!

The hotel is in an old castle, in a park with sensational views of the surroundings. The restaurant is good and fairly priced and you eat with this phenomenal view of the valley around you. The room was very large, and the bathroom too and although the reviews about needing some paint refresh and the furniture a little worn out are true and there is no lift, hey forget if it, it is like being in a real palace. The young lady in the reception deserves a special mention, she carried our bags up the stairs, she gave us perfect directions for the trekking paths and a very useful map and everything with a smile. Breakfast is a joy. The parking costs a little, but it is clearly stated in the booking as so and we can understand with so many tourists coming to the place and the small price gives you a perfectly private and quiet parking experience. Trekking in the surrounding park is marvelous. We had the most perfect weather one can imagine, not hot, not cold, sunny and with a breeze, and most of it is in the trees shade so this added to the positive review. The boulders are so magnificent and interesting. Forget all the negative reviews, just go !!
