Negatives

The head physician is driven to the neck and away from patients, but she still works despite multiple complaints from patients. The food is bad. I will advise all my friends to stay away from this hotel. By the way, my friend and her son are being treated there now and she is also terrified. Thank God they're only leaving for a week, they're leaving on Saturday

Good afternoon. We were in the Krivan sanatorium from 03/04/24 to 03/16/24. We really liked everything - both at the reception desk, and in the dining room, and the menu, and the quality of food, and the room was always clean, and the bed linen, towels and bathrobes were changed frequently, the procedures were all carried out on time and according to plan. The staff is very polite and attentive. And of course, a huge plus of the hotel is that the springs are located not far from the hotel. Many thanks to all the staff. Thank you very much to your site too for detailed stories about hotels. Thank you. Best regards, Vladimir and Margarete.

Good morning It was my first time in a spa town in the Czech Republic. I will come again but not to Hotel Krivan. I would like to get to know other hotels in Karlovy Vary. The location is perfect. The treatment was good. Food was also tasty.

Negatives

What disappointed me was that the only employees were very unfriendly. The room was also very old. It was always nice and clean. As for the food. I had half board. Dinner was served and it tasted good and plentiful, but there was always an empty buffet as far as starters were concerned and I usually didn't get any of the desserts. We also had a buffet for breakfast and had the same problem. I didn't leave the table hungry, but having to wait again and again for food isn't particularly nice either. Kind regards, Irma

At the first appointment with the doctor (chief doctor), my mood was spoiled for all the following days. The nurse's misspelling when naming the medications infuriated the doctor. She refused to treat us. I demanded a refund and then we were transferred to another doctor. During her rude conversation, our and your doctors were mentioned. Apparently she was negative from the start. Krivan is not only a sanatorium, but also a hotel and I can ask for any procedures. And for her information, she is being treated in the hospital. I would like to remind her that Israeli doctors are some of the best, and I came for the Karlovy Vary water, not because of such doctors.

I would recommend the Krivan Spa Hotel! The treatment was good, the staff is very friendly and helpful. The room was cleaned every day. The food was good, there were vegetables and fruits, enough meat and fish to choose from. What I also found positive was that the hotel has a swimming pool and sauna. The location of the hotel is central, the colonnade is only a three-minute walk away, very practical. I'll be back.

Negatives

That's not a negative, just a note: the steps: If you have orthopedic problems with your legs, you should ask for a room on the first floor. Because before you reach the elevator you have to overcome the steps

Everything was fine, good procedures, everyone was polite, towels were changed twice a week.

Negatives

This is the second time I’ve been to this sanatorium and I want to ask the cook not to salt the food so much, especially the first courses. On 03/01 I asked for a cup of boiling water to dilute the soup - well, it’s very salty, many people have high blood pressure and we were fed over-salted food, the first time I didn’t write a review , now I’m writing to ask - don’t poison us for our money, because salt is always on the table if it’s undersalted.

The quality of food leaves much to be desired. Vegetables are mainly cabbage. The assortment has not changed for years... But in general everything is OK!

The treatment is good, the food is not bad, but there is not enough fresh fruit, the work of the waiters is excellent, the cleaning of the room is also good: the linen is snow-white, towels are changed every 2 days; sheets - every 4 days. The location of the sanatorium is very convenient in relation to the springs. Request: Mud baths should have a cross pole so that you can support your feet.

Negatives

I’ll tell you about the unacceptable attitude of the director of the sanatorium towards me. You can write a novel. I booked a trip to the Krivan sanatorium from December 24 to January 6. I arrived at the sanatorium on Sunday around 12.00. I was placed in a corner room in the 3rd building on the 3rd floor. The room was very cold and the walls near the bed and near the table had deep cracks. The window with a balcony looked out onto the shaft of the courtyard. I complained to the reception about the cold in the room. A worker came, adjusted the operation of the air conditioner, looked at the battery and said that it would not heat up, because they had to do general repairs there. At the reception I was told that I should only contact them about relocation on Wednesday, i.e. from 24-27 the reservation department was not working. Regarding food, I had half board: breakfast and dinner. No one warned me that dinner is a holiday and cannot be replaced with lunch, because it is not equivalent. I asked for lunch on the day of arrival, since the road was long, I had not eaten anything for 12 hours and, with a bad stomach, I could not wait until dinner. After lunch, I went to the reception to pay for dinner. They tell me that the dinner is festive and costs 40 euros. And New Year's dinner will cost 100 euros. I thought that 40 euros for dinner was expensive and didn’t go. In the morning at breakfast, my tablemates informed me that Christmas dinner was included in my program and they could not demand additional payment from me. I went to clarify this issue at the reception. There was already another shift there. These workers went to the restaurant for clarification. In conclusion, they said that both dinners were included in my program. But I missed the Christmas dinner due to their fault, because they did not explain. Several times I contacted the office of the sanatoriums travel agency by phone with a complaint. They answered that their director would only be there after the holidays, i.e. December 27, and were advised to write a letter to the director of the travel agency. And he, on December 27, will contact the director of the sanatorium. And they advised me after the holidays to go to the director or the reservation department myself and try to resolve my issue, that is, they left me alone with my problems. I wrote a letter to the director of the travel agency. On Tuesday, December 26, after the procedures, I found the director in his office. He was unfriendly. At first I thought that he was not in the mood, but as we talked, I realized that he was not an intelligent and inadequate person who could not conduct a constructive dialogue with vacationers. I told him that the radiator in my room does not heat, and the air conditioner only heats the room, and it is very cold to wash in the bathroom. He was surprised that this could not happen! It turned out that I was lying. I offered to go up to the room and make sure. He called someone and said that they would connect it now. I asked to be moved to another room, because the walls in this room were cracked, as if after a bombing. I explained that I was from Donbass, my city was on the fire line and, despite the bombing, the walls in my apartment looked more intact than in the room. The director began to explain to me that the whole city stands on moving soil and there are cracks even in his office. I told him that I paid the sanatorium for my treatment, food and comfortable accommodation, but not for such a room. Then I raised a question about my program, about a missed dinner through no fault of my own, and asked to be compensated with at least one lunch. He was very angry that there could be no compensation! I have to pay for both Christmas dinner and New Year's dinner! He asked which company I booked through. I answered: “Through sanatoriums.com.” He waved his hand, and I quote: “These are problem guys. You pay them somewhere, but you come here and demand something here!” I don’t know who he meant by “you”, me alone, or everyone who books through this travel agency? To this I answered him that this was the second time this year I had come to this sanatorium and both times I only booked through this company and paid the entire amount at the reception along with the tourist tax. Judging by his reaction, he did not believe me. He talked to me as if I was his employee, had done something wrong to him and he was reprimanding me for it! I understand that the director is not competent in many matters. There is also no agreement between the reception staff and the restaurant. The reception staff do not know the program of the arriving vacationer. And the vacationer must, through other similar vacationers, find out what is required according to the program. After a “cordial” conversation with the director, I went up to my floor, the same employee was waiting for me there, who explained that it was impossible to connect the battery in the room, and the director knows about this. Now, I just don’t understand why the director made such a scene if he knows that the room is not suitable for living? On Wednesday, December 27, I went to the reservation department of the sanatorium and they gave me a warm room, without air conditioning, with a small bathroom, but I was happy. In the reservation department of the sanatorium, I was told that the sanatorium travel agency should have given me the program for my stay. By the way, they also didn’t understand why the reception tried to force me to pay for Christmas dinner, which is included in my program. I could only pay 10 euros for the lunch I ate. As compensation, I was given 2 entries to the pool, which cost 8 euros in total, and the missed dinner was 40 euros. In my opinion, the compensation is not equal. Out of 13 days of my treatment, I lost 3 days of my peace of mind, finding out those issues that should be resolved by the director of the sanatorium, reception staff and the travel agency sanatoriums.com. They cannot agree among themselves, but the person who came for treatment suffers, and paid more than a thousand euros for it. During the holiday 3 days, first of all, the travel agency had to quickly resolve all issues, and not wait for the end of the holidays. I travel a lot, but I have never seen such an attitude towards a tourist!
