Hotel Slovan in Plzen

Oh, Hotel Slovan in Plzen, where do I even start with this communist-era gem? Stayed one night and it was like stepping into a time machine that smells gloriously of "old times" (in the best possible way). Back in the day, this must've been the crème de la crème of state-approved luxury, and boy, does that genius loci vibe still shine through with its stunning old wood, those majestic columns in the atrium, and an interior architecture that's straight-up gorgeous. The jovial lady at reception was a warm beacon of humanity in what felt like a delightfully haunted ghost hote, bless her for making me feel like royalty. But let's be real (with a wink): everything's charmingly worn out, like it's been through a few revolutions, yet spotlessly clean, no complaints there. The bed? A hilariously tough new mattress, probably forged from steel to outlast any guest's attempts to dent it. Heater going full blast with no knob to tame it and the window has to be shut against the bustling main street. Furniture from a millennium ago? Functional, clean, and full of character. No bar after 9 PM for that nightcap? Pfft, forces you to appreciate the quiet. Breakfast in that cavernous, spacious restaurant was a treat. Scrambled eggs made from actual eggs (no powdered nonsense), though the tables looked like they'd hosted a crumb party with rumpled napkins as guests. And zero waiters in sight for my 30-40 minute feast? Self-service adventure at its finest! Location's unbeatable, the building's a stunner, and for 51 Euros (single with breakfast), it's an absolute steal. A true diamond in the rough, just needs a sprinkle of investment to rule the roost. I love it despite the "hiccups". Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic charm over cookie-cutter perfection!

The hotel is beautiful but it needs better lighting. The breakfast was pretty poor.

The hotel is a little old and dated but it’s clean
Well priced with a decent breakfast

We stayed at Hotel Slovan for a weekend trip to Pilsen and were very happy with our choice. The location is excellent, right in the downtown area, making it easy to walk to the main sights of the city has to offer. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and there’s convenient parking right behind the hotel. Our room was clean, spacious, and had a good-sized bathroom with a jacuzzi-style bathtub, which was a pleasant surprise. While the furnishings and overall style are a bit dated, everything was functional and comfortable. The hotel hallway is exceptionally beautiful and gives the place a lot of character. For the very reasonable price we paid, Hotel Slovan offered great value and made our stay in Pilsen enjoyable. An excellent choice for anyone looking for a well-located, affordable accommodation in Pilsen.

I stayed here for a week in July of 2025. The location is really ideal. Right in the center, just steps away from shops and outdoor restaurants.

The interior of the hotel is like going back in time to an old world kind of vibe. Lots of ornate fixtures and original vintage details.

My room looked out over the Pilsen, complete with hourly church bells.

The room was spacious, but a bit dated. It's not a luxurious hotel with all of the modern touches, but it's comfortable and convenient.

They have a breakfast buffet every morning which is adequate to get your day started.

Well I give 4 star first of all for the location that is right in the heart of Pilsen and for the kind stuff. The room was big enough for me and here is a small size TV which is ok. The hotel was built in 18 th century I think and with modern style. Everything here and most popular attractions are around this hotel.

Really nice accommodating staff, great breakfast, grand old hotel, beautiful setting.
