The medical staff works exceptionally, I'm happy, and that's the only thing that's good

Negatives

Doctor Vera / she is the head physician / is uncontrollable, constantly in a negative mood - she masterfully slams the door with her feet - the walls shake... in front of the visitors' noses... and all because I came in two extra times to write out a prescription, as a result of which she did not want to comment on my tests ... the beds are 85-90 cm wide, the mattresses are squashed / in two rooms for sure / there is a common room with an area of 8 square meters ... very cold, old floor covering ... you can’t be late in the restaurant - expect gastronomic battles, because the most delicious dishes ends in 10-15 minutes... Krivan sanatoriums in the style of the Brezhnev Renaissance era... Brezhnev, obviously, would have liked it, I didn’t... the cost is 220 euros more expensive, but, for example, in Tchaikovsky it is much better , more comfortable and modern... with uv Svetlana Nosova

The main and most important thing is the drinking course of Karlovy Vary water. Convenient location of the sanatorium. Attentive and competent doctor Olga. Good organization of excursions. Very good daily cleaning of the rooms.

Negatives

The placement was strange to say the least. We booked two single rooms at the same price. One was large and comfortable in the first building. The second was in the third building, on the top floor, with a window almost in the ceiling. The room was the size of a built-in wardrobe. When I asked to change the number at the reception, they pretended that they didn’t understand what they were talking about at all, they said that it was Sanatoriums Com that booked it.. When I called Sanatoriums, they told me that all the complaints were against Krivani. There are incompetent people working at the reception where procedures are described. They put procedures in such a order that they will bring harm rather than benefit. I had to ask the doctor to intervene. Thank her very much. But these workers, in front of me, spoke rudely to the doctor after that. The young guy who distributes the time and sequence of procedures behaved, to put it mildly, inappropriately and was constantly rude. A classic massage is just a stroke on the back. The masseuses don’t bother themselves much. Other vacationers shared their impressions that the massage is done normally, only after receiving additional cash payment. The water in the pool was very cold almost all the time. Many caught a cold. The level of Krivani has fallen greatly in all respects, Apparently because there is now a different head physician. The head there is now a very unkind woman who is not going to solve the problems of vacationers. When we asked to resolve the issue with water in the pool, she did not let us go beyond her threshold office, said that she was not going to adjust anything and ended the conversation in the spirit: if you don’t like it, don’t come. That's it. The food corresponds to the level of three stars, but the food was often over-salted, which is generally strange for a sanatorium. One tasteless apple or a wrinkled orange, and not every day - these were the fruits in the Krivan sanatorium.

There was a friendly and pleasant atmosphere in the treatment rooms. The therapies were well adapted by the doctor. I'm quite satisfied.

Negatives

I had a very bad and unpleasant case in the dining room: the young man (unfortunately I don't know his name) yelled at me in the full dining room. Totally baseless. I've never experienced anything like that!!! it's not possible!!! and he didn't even apologize. This process has spoiled the whole positive impression of this hotel.

Positives

I'll start with the positive: 1) Excellent location of the sanatorium. 2) Good medical base. 3) Cleanliness of the rooms/premises. 4) The rooms are warm enough. 5) Simple, but satisfying, fatty food (for those who do not watch their weight). 6) All waiters and waitresses, with the exception of one Czech individual (we write for the lower hall near the windows), are very polite and treat any requests with great attention.

Negatives

I’ll end with the negative impressions that Krivan left us: 1) Czech nationalism. Moreover, without conducting any conversations (on our part), disputes, etc., aimed at inciting discord: a) a waiter of about 45 years old (Czech, apparently) from the lower hall - either ignores him, or no matter how you ask him - almost always this is not there, sometimes that is missing - for some waiters - no problem, everything is available, extremely arrogant and disrespectful. b) when we came to take an ECG (as prescribed by the doctor), for some reason the nurse was extremely surprised by our appearance. She started saying that in her office (I think it’s room 9 on the corner near the sofas) there is nothing like that at all, her employee immediately showed up and started talking about providing ECGs on a commercial basis: “KOMMERCIINE”! But, with the appearance of our doctor, memory and civic awareness sharply returned to the health worker, and her friend abruptly retreated. It turns out that an ECG can and should be performed for free. And the necessary equipment is available in her office and she personally conducted the examination in the presence of our doctor! c) 02/06/20, while undergoing a general vortex bath in cabin number 7, I encountered extreme disrespect and neglect from a medical worker of about 50 years old - she was rude for no reason. d) 02/07/20 on the day of departure, they asked the administrator (a Czech young man) to call a budget taxi in advance (2 hours in advance) (they were counting on one budget). The administrator himself volunteered to communicate in Russian, despite my request in English (I speak English, since at my work it is the official language of communication). He said he called. A taxi arrived at a completely different price - much more expensive. We turned to the same administrator - I suddenly forgot both Russian and English, turned on the fool - that’s the way it is here, for some reason. This is my second time in Krivan, my mother’s fifth. It’s a pity that some of the staff are allowed to be careless; there were moments earlier, but everything was tolerable. But this time it somehow went bad. We also heard from many vacationers (mostly those who are well over 50) complaining about the deteriorating service of Krivan). 2) The food is not bad, but, unfortunately, it is far from dietary. Pickles are not needed. Basic dietary low-fat and unsalted or unsweetened food, as usually served in sanatoriums. But there is almost none of that - fatty, salty, flavor enhancer cubes are added to sauces and soups, where it is not needed - sweetened, the menu says baked, but in fact - fried. It’s a bit difficult there for a vegetarian; they can’t even prepare porridge (oatmeal, for example) for breakfast properly. And fish like tilapia and pangasius are harmful to health, it’s strange that in Krivan they don’t know how and where such “fish” are bred. 3) Inept and inconvenient preparation of procedures. We used to go to a meeting. On my last visit to Krivan, it was very difficult to shift the schedule of procedures here and there so that there would be no harm to health

The most important thing is treatment. The procedures, staff, and equipment are at a good level. Cleanliness and neatness in everything. The pool is magnificent, I especially liked the hydromassage installations in the pool. I would like to note the work of the medical staff and especially KLOMANKOVA MARIE, GUHA PETRA. Good location. Good job by the maids, well done. I want to come back again.

Negatives

I didn't like the dining room. The food is not worthy of such a hotel. The cook clearly needs to be replaced. To say that it is not tasty is not enough. I really feel sorry for the money we spent on food. We just ate almost nothing. After all, even dietary dishes can be prepared in such a way that you want to eat them with appetite. And here is a common table, but it’s not possible to eat. Either it’s too salty or it’s just not tasty. We thought that it was impossible to spoil the pancakes with meat, but no. They made such a mess of pancakes that it was simply terrifying. Would you eat this yourself? I’ll say right away that I’m not picky about food, but here both my husband and I are outraged to the core. The work of the waiters also leaves much to be desired. Never had coffee on the table. For some reason they constantly forgot about our table. They started cleaning the hall early. We arrive half an hour before the end of dinner, and everything is cleared away, no salads, no side dishes. Let them take an example of how to work from other hotels. For example, at Astoria or Sirius or other even three-star hotels. In a word, it's a pity. The management needs to change something. We are not being picky and this is not just our opinion. Please do something so as not to regret the money you pay for food.

Good afternoon Excellent resort, liked the location next to drinking water sources, good swimming pool in the sanatorium, good staff.

Negatives

Not enough light in the room, very dim. We were put in a room with a view probably of the courtyard, but in the end there was no view at all, just walls and a small piece of sky were visible and that was all.

Thank you, I’m satisfied, the staff is good, but the doctor who deals with us leaves the best, I’m not talking about treatment, but in general about attention, it seems that it’s for decoration... office number 7, but these are little things, everything is basically not I was disappointed, so I’ll come again... GOOD LUCK 💞

The only plus is the location, very convenient, next to the springs. Nurses generally do their job well.

Negatives

The head doctor speaks very rudely, and when you knock on her office, you hear the question “what do you need?”, at best, they will condescend to you and allow you to enter, but the conversation takes place standing on the threshold, and with such reluctance that there are absolutely no seconds left for an explanation. not enough. This doctor's attitude towards patients is simply disgusting. The food is also disgusting, it is clear that this is not a five-star hotel, and there seems to be a choice, but the quality of the food is so disgusting, it feels like you are chewing tasteless straw. In general, the vacation was ruined and I do not recommend this hotel to anyone.
