The hotel's rooms are beautiful, very clean, and comfortable, showcasing 1972 Soviet architecture. However, the blinds didn't block out the light well, affecting my sleep. The staff was friendly, yet not entirely professional. The location offers stunning views and a unique architectural experience, ideal for exploring hidden Czech gems. The dining experience provided a good variety but lacked some essentials. Within the hotel, the facilities were well-maintained, adding to the overall pleasant stay.

The hotel is situated at a unique location, on top of Mountain Jested, offering a phantastic view. The rooms are clean and comfortable, with a sci-fi vibe due to the special 'rocket' tower design. The dining experience is rich, but lacking some necessary tools. The service is very helpful, though limited English may be a challenge. The price is reasonable, considering the outstanding location and amenities.

The hotel offers super comfortable rooms with old-fashioned style decor, accessible by car or lift. While a bit stuffy, it's a place you won't forget. The service is wonderful, friendly, and helpful, except for one rude encounter. The unique location on top of Ještěd hill is hard to beat, with stunning views and scifi windows. Dining is varied and satisfying, though could improve with more fresh fruit. The facilities are well-maintained and offer everything you need for a pleasant stay.

I absolutely loved staying at this hotel! The stunning 1972 Soviet architecture adds a unique charm, and those exclusive hanging seats were a delight to relax in. The rooms had a beautiful 60s vibe, impeccably clean, but those blinds not fully blocking the light made it a bit challenging for a light sleeper like me. The lower floor setup with the bathroom and toilet was convenient yet cozy.
