Hotel Drnholec — Hotel in okres Břeclav

We staid at the hotel for 3 days to enjoy some wine tasting and hiking the wonderful vineyard countryside od the Pálava region.||The room was clean but of a very average (or maybe a bit less) quality. The en suite bathroom was (based on its look) surely as old as the hotel. The shower door was broken (though possible to close), the lever mixers were hard to operate (not surprising because of their apparent age). There was a tiny TV in the room with the remote not working properly but with a good choice of Czech and Austrian channels. We definitely didn't get the cosy room that is in the pictures on their web.||The biggest problem with the room was the sleep quality. The bed was fine but the hotel is just adjacent to a church where the bells ring all the time even during the night. Every 15 minutes there was a chime (or 2, or 3, or many more at every o'clock). We are used to street noise of a main street at home and sleep with open windows even there but this was really disturbing. At 7 AM, there was a complete bell concert which I can't really understand as the mass began at 10.30 and it is usual to chime the bells just before the mass, not 3.5 hours before. Another thing was that the room telephone rang several times during the night without any good reason. As we found out from the discussions of other guests at breakfast, it was a problem of all of the rooms.||||On the other hand, the rest of the hotel was quite likeable. The restaurant looked cosy as did the English-style bar. We had a full English breakfast one day and a Czech-style breakfast the other morning. Both were fine, although the "continental" one was really not very rich in choice. The dinners were somewhere between poor and average. I had a vegetable salad with chicken that was poor indeed, on the other hand, the goulash the other day was very good and tasty. The menu is, however, nothing very special and resembles that of any average Czech countryside pub/restaurant. As the hotel presents itself with its English style, I would expect something more stylish (more than fish&chips and sausages that are in my opinion the worst part of British cuisine). What I liked most at the hotel was the bar. A warm place where we spent some time one evening to have a dram of 10y/o Laphroaig. I liked that very much.||The staff were quite pleasant but I would expect more from a family-run hotel. The waiter/bartender/receptionist in one person was quite a pleasant guy but seemed a bit confused. In fact, he looked tipsy the first evening. He was much more pleasant as a bartender than as a waiter in the restaurant.||All-in-all this was a pretty average place. Nowhere I would like to go again but on the other hand, the hotel didn't spoil...

I have been a frequent visitor to this excellent small country hotel ever since it was opened over a decade ago. The owners have spent a fortune on renovating what was once a virtual ruin. The latest addition are two high standard rooms in the courtyard. During my latest stay I tested out one of the new rooms which were built to a high standard, remaining warm in spite of the very low temperatures outside. Each room has a comfortable bed and en suite shower and toilet as well as cable TV. In my opinion the highlight of the hotel is the excellently run bar and restaurant. The bar generally follows an English theme reflecting the fact that one of the owners is from England. It is decorated with horse brasses and pictures from the UK. It is especially cosy in winter with the roaring fire. A wide variety of drinks are served as well as local specialities to accompany beer. A special range of coffees is also available. The restaurant specializes in dishes from Moravia. Particularly recommended are the ‘’Kapsa’’ potato pancake, the Moravian cabbage soup and the Pike-Perch from Novy-Mlyn. A wide range of local Moravian and foreign wines are available. All menus are in Czech, English and German. Free of charge Wi-Fi is now available too but due to the thickness of the walls, it only works in the bar and restaurant. The reception is friendly and helpful and staff speak excellent English and German. The hotel has an arrangement with a local taxi company which can provide reliable and comfortable transport to nearby Brno or Vienna airports at a reasonable price. There are many interesting places to visit in the region such as Lednice, Valtice, Mikulov and the Austrian Weinviertel. Walks & Bike rides in every direction are a pleasure at any time of the year with a diverse landscape of rivers, forests, lakes , vineyards and the Palava hills. The hotel is also near to Brno and offers a much nicer (and cheaper) alternative to the oversubscribed Brno hotels especially during trade fairs. For special events such as wine tasting, the hotel even has a restored wine cellar which can be hired. This well run friendly hotel is not luxurious but offers an acceptable level of comfort with great cuisine and compares favourably with most other hotels...

V hotelu Drnholec * jsme s přítelkyní strávili 4 dny (3 noci), 24.7 - 27.7.2018. Jednalo se o pobyt s polopenzí a "neomezenou konzumací piva a vína" během celého pobytu, celková cena 6.290 Kč (vlastní doprava). Přijeli jsme první den v 15 hod před hotel a šli se ubytovat. Recepce je malinká, ale svůj účel plní, paní o nás věděla, každý jsme vyplnili jakýsi papír, dostali klíč od pokoje. Bohužel welcome drink byl jaksi zapomenut. Dostali jsme pokoj č.5, umístěný v prvním patře, přístupný po hezkém historickém schodišti, byl útulný, čistý, dvoulůžko pohodlné, koupelna malinká ale také útulná a hezká, s fénem, na zdi pokoje LCD TV Philips (úhlopříčka tuším 101 cm), jedno okno se síťkou s výhledem do zadní části hotelu, kde jsou další pokoje, dvě pergoly, úschovna kol a parkování. Ubytovali jsme se a hned se šli projít po Drnholci, asi 1,5 km od hotelu je taková menší rozhledna uprostřed vinic, kde je krásný výhled. Každý den jsme chodili na snídaně do hotelové restaurace, podávána formou rautu, nám nic nechybělo (míchaná vejce, párky, šunka, slanina, jogurty, müsli, zelenina, pečivo, horká voda, ...), jedinou výhradu jsme měli ke kávě, ta co byla udělaná v konvici nám vůbec nechutnala, chyběla mi tam možnost udělat si vlastního turka nebo rozpustnou. Na hotelu jme pobývali až ve večerních hodinách, jinak po snídani jsme vždy vyrazili na nějaký výlet, jakmile jsme se vrátili, šli jsme na večeři. Měli jsme po celou dobu hezké počasí, takže jsme na večeři seděli venku před hotelem. Výběr byl ze speciálního jídelníčku jen pro hosty, sedm jídel (každý den stejná), ale nám i tak chutnalo, nejsme nijak nároční, strava byla opravdu chutná. První večer jsme dokonce dostali dezert, palačinku s marmeládou. V ceně byla i láhev francouzského vína k večeři, já to pochopil, že ke každé večeři, bohužel pouze k jedné večeři. Na výběr bylo jen ze dvou druhů červeného vína. Tu láhev vína si můžete vzít nerozdělanou sebou. Chyběl mi venkovní bazén, kde bychom se po výletování mohli pěkně zchladit a chvíli relaxovat. Po večeři jsme si šli sednout za hotel do pergoly (jsou tam dvě, jedna menší blíž hotelu, druhá asi 30 metrů dál s krbem), kde jsme se seznámili s dalšími dvěma páry, takže jsme se tam každý večer sešli a popíjeli asi do půlnoci (i když jsme nedělali kravál, jednomu hostovi co měl pokoj naproti, se to nelíbilo). Pro pití jsme chodili na bar, kde bylo otevřeno jen do 22:00 hod, ale to nám nevadilo, nechali jsme si dát bílé víno do litrového džbánku (v rámci neomezené konzumace). Celkově jsem byl s pobytem v hotelu Drnholec * spokojený, rád bych se tam někdy zase vrátil, doporučuji navštívit.

Pozitiva: krásné prostředí Jižní Moravy čistý pokoj, čistá koupelna, velká LCD na pokoji, pohodlná postel vnitřek hotelu moc hezký, v anglickém stylu jak restaurace, tak i bar parkování vzadu za hotelem, každý pokoj má vyčleněno své místo možnost platit kartou (na recepci, v restauraci)

Negativa: při příjezdu nám nebyl podán welcome drink co se týká neomezené konzumace, tak na výběr měli pouze jeden druh bílého vína (Veltlínské zelené), jeden červeného (Modrý portugal), a jeden růžového (Zweigeltrebe), na to že jsme byli na Jižní Moravě v oblasti proslulé vínem, jsme tedy čekali podstatně širší výběr vín. Piva měli dva druhy, Pardál a Budweiser, dokonce i tmavé, to mi stačilo na snídani nám chyběla možnost udělat si vlastní kávu (turek, rozpustná), ta již udělaná nám nechutnala na večeře byl výběr ze speciálního lístku pro hosty, kde bylo stále stejných 7 jídel chtělo by to nějaký venkovní bazén na osvěžení v parných letních dnech hotel by z venku potřeboval vyspravit fasádu, je...
