Ostrava may not be your first choice for a holiday destination (we were visiting friends locally) but if you're in town, I can't recommend this place too highly. There were road works and a building being renovated opposite, but the actual hotel exceeded expectations. High points - a very wide breakfast selection that included free sparkling white wine, very comfortable bed, excellent soundproofing (they weren't responsible for the roofers opposite starting at 6.45am!) and good blackout blinds. I know that enthusiastice reviews tend to suggest bribery by management, but this is one of those very few reviews where I find it difficult to fault anything. It should be said that we only had breakfasts in the hotel, and that if full there would probably not be enough tables in the restaurant area itself (overspill into bar possible). The lobby would be enhanced by having some material about the local area, maps etc, but these are minor quibbles and the local tourist info centre is only 5 minutes away (bizarrely on an upper floor of the brass tower that is the local landmark). Parking was very good, with easy access and exit, but limited numbers of parking spaces, so organise in advance!
