Hotel Císař Ferdinand — Hotel in Sokolov District

Cisar Ferdinand is located in one of the most beautiful and carefully restored buildings just over the bridge of the medieval town. You just can't pass it... Especially because there is a well known restaurant with a garden (great view to the river) in front of it. And even more tempting is the pub and home micro brewery in the vaulted cellars. It is like a living museum with old beer mugs, barrels, and big collection of spa drinking cups. Black beer is really good! The hotel is named after Austrian emperor Ferdinand I., who visited the town. And he is also the main theme in the hotel – rooms are decorated with old pictures and there are even old crests all over the furniture... Rooms are big and bright. Mine (nr. 3) had a view to the main street with some other restored houses in sight. Although the hotel staff speaks more German than English, the communication was not a problem with some smiles and czech words... The choice of TV programs was bigger than in most other hotels I stayed in Czech republic. Breakfast was another surprise! It is served in a really nice decorated dinning room. The walls are full of old pictures and paintings and they even displayed tools with which emperor Ferdinand officially ended the building of the bridge ! Not to mention, the food was good, lot of...

We stayed there 3 nights. Hotel is presented as the best in the town and actually it is, visitors were German pensioners most of all.||Positives:||Excellent location, situated close to the river and medieval old town with beautiful castle. Building is renovated and looks very nice. Rooms are spacious, bed big enough. There is restaurant and small private brewery.||Unpleasant: ||In our room cabinet had shelf broken, lying on the bottom; there were uncomfortable synthetic fiber pillows with lumps; spacious bathroom with only one small shelf. These deficiencies you do not expect in hotel with such a reputation. Nevertheless it happens and can be repair. ||Negative:||We stay in the hotel in hot July days. There is no air condition. Our windows were oriented at the river side, in first floor above the restaurant. Not only smell of dishes served, but also cigarettes smoke come directly to our room. Cleaning of our room was the bed was made only. Noise from the restaurant or hot room was up to our decision. We did not evaluate the restaurant, probably very popular and full. Our first choice was big mistake and we did...

Initially we were a little disappointed by this hotel; its reception area is poky and unimpressive but the staff were helpful despite having little English. The rooms were large and clean but quite characterless considering the lovely old building. Nevertheless the beds were comfortable and the basement restaurant very good. I could live with the mismatched towels as, like everything else, they were clean and as we were only there for two nights, it was fine.||The small village is very pretty and the castle is lovely. Our Czech friend was getting married in the castle which was a delightful occasion with Czech and English participants enjoying themselves immensely. There isn't much to do in Loket but it is in a beautiful setting with the river running close by and the tree clad mountains all around. Unfortunately it was cold and damp during our stay but I can imagine that it is beautiful in...
