Hotels Near Jindrova skála Benecko in Benecko

I must say that from the first contact with the reception, everything went wrong. When we arrived, they didn't even welcome us. A blonde receptionist, who looked like she didn't feel like working, was the one who checked us in with a very bad tone. 1. Without prior warning, she made us pay directly for the car park, without asking us beforehand if we wanted to leave the motorbike in the car park for 20€ per day (we would not have paid for it as we could do it for free in the surrounding area). 2. Before booking, we asked if the dinner was buffet, menu or a la carte and the reception answered that it was a la carte. When we arrived at the hotel, every day it was basically a menu with a choice of two dishes (vegan dishes did not interest us). We were very annoyed by the false information. If we had known this, we would have taken breakfast only 3. During the booking, we ordered a bottle of sparkling wine which we asked to be in the room at the day of arrival. They didn't prepare it and I couldn't surprise my husband (however, they offered us 2 massages afterwards, which I appreciated). The truth is that the hotel is very nice, but the reception staff is not very well prepared. If you don't want to work, resign, but don't offer a bad experience to the guests because thanks to that, all my stay I had a bad feeling about the hotel and this will surely happen with other guests too. I am a hotel receptionist too and I know what I am talking about. Sometimes we have difficult days, but the blonde girl didn't seem to have a difficult day, she just doesn't want to work and that is reflected in bad service. We certainly won't be back.

The palace itself is very beautiful outside but from the star you can see that even the garden is unattended (grass not brushed, flowers almost dead). The receptionist actually greeted me, but no longer my boyfriend who speaks English (the booking was his name). No smile from you at the reception. The pillows were only found when ... And one of the first things she asked us to do was close the entrance door, because it would be ... She works in the hotel and in life I would not ask the guests for such a thing. After the form was filled out, there was still no government attempt to talk to my boyfriend. We were not asked for a nice stay, we were not explained where our room was, the receptionist only said where breakfast and dinner were and in what hours, still without a smile. The reception is full of leaflets and maps that do not need to be on the view ... It's good that they are but I don't necessarily have to see them. You can also see the open door to the office where you can see a mess. The room was very clean but not everything fitted. Most were modern but one table was an antique that didn't fit anything. When it comes to bed, it was two beds that were nothing connected and were rigged to it. They had very uncomfortable spring marathas. Very nice view of the mountains, no noise from the outside was heard. The book for guests again with unnecessary leaflets and maps. Very careless (smashed pages). The minibar was but not cooling. Before dinner we went by the receptionist several times and the receptionist never greeted us. The place saves dinner and selection of wines, at very good prices. Everything was very good, the portions were big. During dinner, we were served by a blonde waitress, the only one of the whole service was very nice. She welcomed us with a smile and, above all, tried to talk to us. Sometimes you can see a piece of the wall but there is no history of the place (except a short mention in the guest book). Very good breakfast in the morning, although at the moment it should not be a buffet as everyone touches everything ... I saw a few rooms on the way, each greeted despite being busy. When you check out by another recipient again, there was no English conversation, no question whether everything was liked. The service was missing training and I would not say that this hotel has 5 stars ...

The hotel itself is nice, modern (which is not always the best, a great-looking chair which you can not stand up from is useless), and has a a spectatular view over the mountains and the lake. Everybody was friendly, the premises were clean, but.. There is seriously not enough staff! Two bartenders can hardly serve the whole terrace at night, when it is full of people. Waiting 30 minutes for a drink is not acceptable in a 4* hotel. Even the restaurant was slow during lunches and did not have a single vegetarian dish (one was on the menu, but they didn't have it). The food we got in the end was good, so were breakfasts, dinners were the same every day (as a vegetarian I could have a salad or spaghetti 3 days in a row). The pools are too small for such a big hotel and were overcrowded all the time, only one whirlpool was working, so people were waiting. I think it is better to visit in the autumn or winter, when the weather is not as hot, there is nowhere to cool down a little, the water in the pools is heated too. I would recommend this place to people who do not expect too much, if you sometimes stay in a 4* hotel, you might be slightly disappointed. However, the surroundings is great for trips, there is a castle nearby, St. Anna's chapel, Upside down house and much more to enjoy.
