One of the best apartments I have stayed in - undoubtedly. I loved the design, kitchen and TV. However, I have no idea why you allowed someone to work with jackhammer at freaking 6-7 AM. Overall experience good, but please, I bet all the apartments had to go through the same rough times in the morning as me. For the price it was anyway very good deal, I would for sure...
We had a lovely stay in a beautiful, spacious room. The bathroom is large with comfortable shower area. We were first agoda guests to stay there and the staff was very welcoming and helpful.

If you have a car,I strongly recommend to visit the Wellness Hotel Retro Riverside. Even though the hotel is not too close(6-7Km) from downtown of Karloby vary it is nice hotel.
The hotel isn’t near the station and bus system also isn’t convenient in Karlovy Vary. Therefore you can visit the town on feet when walking to the hotel. The hotel staffs are friendly, it’s a great place to relax.
hotel and amenities are quiet good however we faced difficulty in communicating as most of the operatives hardly speak English as if the hotel is intended for Russians as most of staff speaks only Russian.
This small hotel is located right on the Main Street of Karlovy Vary, within a few minites walk to al the spas and mineral water spots. Despite its size, it does have an elevator. The rooms are a bit old but they are clean. The room size is pretty good too. Hotel staff are friendly. The breakfast isn’t something to be raving about, but food in Czech Republic (Karlo...
The hotel is located very close to centre, easy to walk anywhere. The rooms is a littel small but clean and enough for short stay. Flat TV is a little old... Breakfast nice.
Anglicky Dvur is a located just five minutes walking distance from the city center of Karlovy Vary. This is a spa hotel that offers medical treatments, also. The hotel is located in an old building that has been renovated beautifully. The breakfast was fine. You can also preorder lunch and dinner but this is not necessary because there are many nice restaurants in the ...
The Kavalerie hotel is a small hotel in cute decoration and located in the city center of Karlovy Vary. The room is ok, not luxurious but clean and quiet, just sometimes you will hear the stepping from the other people walking up and down the stairs. Overall, I think it's good and valuable for the amount that you have paid for.
Rude and arrogant reception staff. Dont expect a warm welcome or any manners!
AAA This is Esplanade in Mariánské Lázně. Thanks for the glass of wine at check-in. Thanks for the excellent Hotel Esplanade Sect as a birthday present. Thanks for the attentive service associated with our stay. Thanks for realizing our wishes. Highly recommended especially for Asia and Far East customers as one of Europe's attractions when traveling to Europe.
The staff was friendly. They could do a little remodeling but over all it was a good place.
Location is not in city centre. Unless you are driving and the place is dark and quiet at night. No reception in the building. Room is clean. But the day I met few guys taking marijuana at the kitchen. I on the spot decide to move out because felt the environment is unsafe. Luckily the person in charge willing change to next building.
I was very impressed with this apartment. Prior to my arrival, the staff contacted me asking for the estimated arrival time and suggesting how to get to the apartment by bus. When arriving, he was waiting at the entrance and helped me carry my luggage to the room because my room was on the 3rd floor. He was very courteous and helpful. He gave me a city map and explaine...
It was really good, we went out to watch the football game on TV in a restaurant and came back very late, the lady was waiting for us.
Believe me, this hotel is located at the best location in Karlovy Vary! It is located at centre city and at the middle of hill at the south side so that you can see all entire city for both downtown side and river.

Everything was perfect, they have a very nice restaurant on the -1 floor. The hotel is very clean and stylish. Nothing to complain about.
There was some confusion (a problem with our room) and we were moved to a different hotel managed by the same people. The Hotel Corvus was a couple of hundred metres away and more than adequate. Parking was across the river and pricey. The food served and Junessience next door (managing hotel) was inexpensive and delicious. Overall a good stay. Not a lot of...
A cozy hotel well-tugged away from the main thoroughfare. Comfortable room for a good rest after long walks. Beautiful scenery and quiet surrounding near the hotel. Good for strolls and nice walks. Really relaxing and healing to the mind and soul. The breakfast buffet was excellent. Enjoyed the well-decorated dining room. The spread was simple but well- selected for g...
The hotel was really pleasant and very centrally located. Unfortunately the trip was spoilt as I had booked two rooms and neither had hot water...added to this, the car parking charges were on the steep side..and there was no tv channel in English!
Nice hotel, nice furniture. The hotel is made of 3 buildings, so if your room is located in the building that is behind, it will not be accessible for disabled persons.
Very satisfied with Humboldt Hotel. It is a walking distance to the bus station and to all the sights in Karlovy Vary. The room was well kept, very clean. The staff will always greet you with a smile. The breakfast buffet were very good and delicious. Will definitely recommend this hotel.
They made me wait for a long time. They said that is normal if the reservation is done through Agoda. So eventually I left the hotel for the lunch and went back only after 2 hours. Then they solved the problem.

We enjoyed having a walking path through the woods, literally, at the front door. On occasion we use this path to take a round about way into town. The hotel is located on a rise overlooking Marianske Lazne. We enjoyed the relaxing stay so much that we chose to extend our stay by another night. I would not hesitate to return.
I am a business traveler and travel from hotel to hotel already for decades. Due to the many hotels I book, I normally don’t write references, but for this hotel I made an exception.
