Orea Spa Hotel Palace Zvon Mariánské Lázně

Balkontür geht zum Balkon von 3Zimmer; man kann zum anderen Zimmer gehen ohne viel Hindernis. Dadurch musste in der Nacht Tür geschlossen bleiben bei der Hitze.

Das Hotel ist wunderschön und liegt sehr günstig! Wir sind sehr spät angekommen und wurden telefonisch vorab gut beraten betr. Abendessen etc. Vor der Weiterreise konnten wir bequem zu Fuß einiges erkunden und sind sehr zufrieden abgereist.

We spent two nights at the Zvon hotel in the quaint Czech spa town of Marianske Lazne. The hotel itself was located at the top of the town near to the famous musical fountain and to the colonnade, but is some way uphill from the train station. Fortunately the number 7 trolley bus takes you all the way. (They charged extra for luggage on the bus by the way.) The hotel had a feeling of recent renovation following a period of decline (like Marianske Lazne itself, I guess). Our room was large with a balcony but had sparse furnishings and was decorated in a dull brown colour. The breakfast was good with a wide choice, buffet style as is the norm nowadays. Our deal (booked directly with the hotel) was half board. We had a choice of a buffet supper at the hotel or a multi-course "a la carte" menu taken at the Palace Hotel next door (internally connected to our hotel). We chose the latter and it was definitely a good choice. The food and service were excellent. My partner used the spa facilities in the basement of the hotel, which included a small swimming pool and a swathe of modern treatment rooms, professionally run. One point for anglophone tourists. English is not so widely spoken in this part of Bohemia, so be prepared to try out those few words of German (or Czech?) you learned at school 😁
