Hotel Karel IV. in Turnov

Great hotel, good location and a delicious breakfast.

Stayed in this hotel as part of an OnFoot holiday. Despite its slightly austere look from the outside this is a beautiful hotel with friendly staff and a quality interior. The rooms are superb, the pool and self service bar are excellent. We had Breton the hotel which was very nice. Nearby restaurants in Turnov are great value

We stayed here for one night as part of a walking trip. The initial impression was of a pre-opening up, (what I presume to be like a Cold War feel). The site and entrance were pretty unimpressive; however there are some quality aspects to the hotel. Staff was efficient and friendly, note that the desk is not manned after 22:00, and entrance is with a punch-in code-lock to the hotel entrance and one’s room. The rooms were a tad small for a couple. Spotlessly clean rooms, clean sheets. Beds were very nice (we got a twin rather than a double). Shower was excellent, but tiny. Again, spotlessly clean. No air conditioning, small fridge, but unsure if it worked, didn’t cool much. Food: restaurant was closed, no food/drinks available (unsure if it was temporary or a permanent measure as older reviews from 2023 also mention this). Older reviews for the restaurant were good but unable to comment. Breakfast, like everything else was good, efficient and on the spot. Lovely breads. Did not meet our ratings of the other six hotels we stayed as part of this holiday. Overall, functional, and caters to needs rather than wants. Covers the need of a walking holiday adequately, possibly not for a longer stay/family holiday.

A lot was good here though it was rather depressing on first sight. A definite Cold War feel to the decor. Internet was strong, and there was useful tourism information in the room. The windows opened for fresh air, hot water was good. The shower was a bit splashy but the towels were nice and robes were provided. The minibar was empty (always a disappointment) and the restaurant was closed for dinner, with nothing close by. Breakfast was good, bread was fresh , there was proper orange juice not watered down!

Great hotel, very clean, friendly service

we rate the restaurant. very tasty food. Aromatic tea Pickwick Smooth Gray. small selection when it comes to vegetarian dishes, but grilled hermelin is tasty. the method of giving hermelin depends on the cook. once I was eating a delicious plate full of salads and another ... well. the pictures reflect everything. pizza from the wood-fired oven is delicious. for hungry meateaters, we recommend Bramborak with goulash. Tasty!
