The Gardena — Hotel in okres Český Krumlov

Pension Gardena is a restored older building, very clean and quiet. Manager Iva is very helpful and friendly. If you arrive in Cesky Krumlov by bus from Prague or elsewhere (as I did), it is less than a ten-minute walk on a paved path from the main bus station. It is virtually across the street from the bridge leading into the old town. Cesky Krumlov is full of hotels and pensions, but you would not want to pull roll-on luggage over its cobblestone streets and sidewalks. I was glad to have found Pension Gardena recommended by a popular guidebook. My pension room was a bit small (probably too small for two people) with a small table and chair. Bathroom and shower were also small but adequate. Breakfast was similarly adequate--not extensive, but with enough cereal, cheese, meat, bread, jam, juice, coffee, and tea varieties to satisfy most guests. Dining area was spacious though a bit dark. I stayed in the newer (also restored) annex across the street. Rooms in the original (where the dining room and check-in desk are located) are up steep stairs, no elevator. Annex also has no elevator. Annex has a nice seating area in the garden in back, but who comes to Cesky Krumlov to sit in the garden? I would go to Pension...

The old town of Cesky Krumlov is a UNESCO world heritage site. As expected, this town is amazing and feels like that it came out of our childhood fairy tales storybook. We visited this city for a day and stayed at Penzion (Guest-house) Gardena. ||||Penzion Gardena is a small guest house at the corner of the entrance of the central area of town. The guesthouse is located close to bus stand (~600m) and easily reachable by foot. As the town itself is very small, all main tourist destination are within walking distance (less than 2km) from the guest house. ||||At the reception, we received a warm welcome from a friendly lady. For our surprise, she greeted us with “Namaste” (Hindi word for Hello). She had traveled to India and loved our country. She briefed us about the town history and provided required information to roam around the town.||||Our room was located in the small building across the road from the reception/common area. Room was small, cozy and clean with attached bathroom. There was a shared fridge and microwave in the corridor. The balcony attached to room had a picturesque view of the castle tower. |||| We recommend ‘Penzion Gardena’ for the peaceful stay in the fairy-tale town of the...
