Octárna hotel a restaurant — Hotel in okres Kroměříž

I am sincerely not sure what was the worst thing about this place... the horrible, very VERY bad cooking (worse than any ordinary low cost tavern), the exorbitant prices, the old, cheaply decorated tables literally next to the toilets, the incompetent and defiant staff, the dead, half-dried roses as decoration, the cheap bad wine sold at bloated prices (and lack of a wine list) or the overall feel that this place is just a nightmare black hole of gastronomic horror lost forever from the reality of any decent establishment. To say that the chef didn't know even how to cook basic things (watery undercooked rice, burnt gummy liver, plum sauce that tasted like cheap marmalade, badly done meat, etc.) would be an understatement. To order wine, you have to get up, take a good look into a badly lit old piece of furniture full of stacked bottles and wait until the waiter checks the price at the bar computer. We waited for more than 30 minutes for every dish, and had to return all but one of them. Honestly, listing all the negatives would be impossible, and I can't really think about only one positive.

Breakfast – although it was simple, we didn`t leave the hotel with empty stomachs.|We spent only one night at Octarna as we were on our way to Austria but it was definitely worth spending our time in that pretty...

I've lived several years in Central/Eastern Europe and this is probably one of the worst value for money I have ever had. As too often in Czech Republic, it looks posh, you pay accordingly... and all the rest is poor, not least the service:

-Inexperienced staff (kind but appeared to me like the cheapest overworked students) hardly speaking any foreign language and with little idea how to deal with customers in this price-category (79€/$100 is high-range out of Prague). -Virtually no breakfast (at least when you come 30 min before it is supposed to end... maybe fine at 8am?). -Non functioning television.

The kind of "wellness" spot where you won't relax as they just...
