I am a regular customer of this hotel. I am categorically against the introduction of alcohol in a restaurant. This is a sanatorium and alcohol cannot be combined with treatment. If someone wants to drink, they can buy themselves a drink at the bar. Why should I overpay for this? The number of procedures has been reduced. Nutrition has also deteriorated, for example, there are no dried apricots and prunes for breakfast, there is no such variety of meat as there was before. In general, the cost does not correspond to the level of the hotel. I think I'll try another hotel next year.Answer from Spa Hotel Imperial

Beautiful views of the surrounding mountains and the old city from the windows, well-groomed and beautiful area near the main building of the sanatorium, wonderful air. A large number of treatment procedures with modern equipment and qualified medical personnel for health prevention and treatment.Negatives

I have been a regular guest of the Imperial Hotel since 1997. Until 2019, I didn’t try to look for another hotel for a vacation, because... In principle, our family was happy with everything.Negatives
In 2019, everything was as usual, except for one thing - the price increased significantly and the all-inclusive system was declared. In fact, this turned out to be complete nonsense. In the restaurant, only some drinks could be ordered (a very small range), while the minibar remained for a fee. And what kind of all-inclusive system is this? They just took it and raised the price. The price-quality ratio now does not suit us; the price is clearly too high. We'll have to find another hotel next spring, especially since Imperial still doesn't give any preferences to regular customers. It's a shame...Positives
Excellent medical facilities, spacious building and rooms, attentive staff. Own park and distance from the bustle of the city. For lovers of hiking, the location is ideal.Negatives
I wanted the food to be more dietary, since this is still a sanatorium and the goal of those arriving is treatment, and not gluttony, which is very harmful to health. I also consider the experiment with free alcohol unsuccessful. Once again, this is a sanatorium, not a Turkish hotel.Answer from Spa Hotel Imperial

All liked it. Thank you! I would like to add a Knaupf track.Positives
Hello! I really liked the Imperial Resort! I liked everything: the beautiful Hotel itself, spacious corridors with red carpets; excellent cuisine, everything was delicious, varied menu, fruits: apples, pears, pineapples, kiwis, grapes, oranges, lemon. Attentive medical staff, all procedures were on time, I never had to wait. The room was cleaned daily, after cleaning, the obligatory chocolate candy was waiting for me on a snow-white pillow). The bathroom is large, snow-white, fluffy towels. In the evenings there are free small concerts; the pool is open until 22:00. The funicular descent to the city takes 1 minute 20 seconds, I specially timed it.) Mineral water is supplied to the Hotel, tap on the 1st floor.Positives
Only positive emotions. Hotel workers, as well as medical staff, work efficiently and professionally. Everything is very organized - the appointment of procedures, the procedures themselves. We had a very good rest and recovery. The food in the restaurant is varied, everything is home-cooked. It is not surprising that many guests have been coming here for many years. If I go to Karlovy Vary again, I will definitely choose this hotel!Negatives
Not a single negative emotion during two weeks of rest!Positives
Excellent hotel, I liked everything very much, the staff is attentive, the choice of treatments is very large. Excellent lunches and dinners, beyond all praise. The coffee and desserts at the Vienna cafe are very tasty. Clean, beautiful, cozy. We will definitely come back here!Negatives
1. The bathroom only has a bathtub, and it is impossible to use it as a shower. 2. I would like to diversify breakfasts and add soy milk or at least lactose-free milk.Positives
Thank you! I contacted your company for the first time and was very pleased. I have vacationed at the Imperial sanatorium many times with my family and I can’t imagine anything else. Everyone is very happy.Positives
Ideal location, funicular and buses, you can come to the desired point in KV. Everything is perfectly clean. Variety of menu. Friendly staff. Ideal treatment baseNegatives
Very salty food, even in the Paris restaurant, even though you ask for a minimum of salt, many dishes are still over-salted. If you are vacationing with children, there is neither a playground for children nor a children's play area.Positives
Preparation of dishes in a restaurant, snow-white, always fresh tablecloths, implementation of the schedule of procedures strictly on time, work of waiters, nurses, massage therapists.Negatives
The hotel is simply miserable, it does not even reach the level of 3 stars, by Moscow standards. The entire floor of the hotel is covered with carpet, not only is it covered in stains, stains and in some places faded from the sun, but in the room it gives off an unpleasant smell of such old mustiness. The room has a retro TV from the early 90s, the toilet is shallow, you sit down and any man touches the bottom, which is very unpleasant. The Soviet bathtub does not allow you to take a normal shower; it is very narrow and slippery, and is surrounded by glass, which is very dangerous. The room is small in size, considering that the hotel does not even have a small gym, you had to do exercises in the room, there was nowhere to spread your arms, either the curtains or the wall. There is actually a fitness center, but to get to it you have to walk 300 meters along the street in winter and pay for entrance separately, in the morning after sleep!!! Breakfast is always the same porridge, buckwheat with milk and oatmeal with water, both of which are not edible. Nuts, prunes, dried apricots only upon request, and then the nuts are only salted and old. Fruits, sliced melons and pineapple are always the same, albeit in different sized pieces. Instead of lightly fried bacon, thick pieces of some kind of meat in hot water. Instead of porridge, I tried muesli, but they are wildly sweet and here they are sold for 3 kopecks; they simply had not heard of them enriched with raisins, nuts and seeds consisting of different grains. The milk is only cold, instead of cottage cheese there is some kind of sour cream with an incomprehensible taste. For lunch and dinner, everything prepared by the chefs is quite tasty, but the variety is very small. The hotel is poorly located, you can get to the city and the colonnade by cable car, bus or on foot, everything is very inconvenient. The funicular runs every 15-20 minutes, the bus every 30 minutes and stops a 15-minute walk from the sources. True, source No. 1 is right in the hotel, so in the morning, everyone is prescribed it without a choice, regardless of the diagnosis and indications. A very small range of treatments in the SPA, even compared to 4 stars in the city. I would especially like to note the New Year celebration, 500 euros for two and nothing special, the same cooks in the same kitchen, the same as always, the group is very mediocre even for the province. In general, in my opinion, the hotel decided to simply rob its guests. On the last day, at dinner, the waitress standing at the entrance decided to show off, she reprimanded me for my branded sweatpants (these are not sweatpants with outstretched knees, but Addidas trousers), standing in front of me in a stale apron and black jeans, this is like their dress code . I had to call the manager, he tried to implement the Europeans’ trick and talk to me in bad English, but then it turned out that he speaks and understands Russian normally, the answers are standard, we will work on it, I will bring it to the attention of the general manager, this is his idea behind closed doors restaurant, which is intended only for hotel guests, introduce an evening dress code. The hotel did nothing to introduce a dress code, the same buffet, imagine this in expensive branded clothes, you approach a sizzling dish of meat, it’s just laughter, there is no music, no strangers, all the same people who walk around naked with you in bathrobes for half a day at the SPA center. From the city, getting to the hotel restaurant is a problem and no one will go to the mountain, especially since everything below is much tastier and cheaper. This entire complex still has to try hard to reach Moscow's 3-star hotels. I really regret the wasted time and quite a lot of money.Answer from Spa Hotel Imperial
Уважаемый господин Гаме! Спасибо, что остановились в отеле «Империал». Нам жаль, что Вам у нас не понравилось. У нас много довольных клиентов, которые приезжают и по несколько раз в году, поэтому нас удивила Ваша оценка. У нас 205 номеров, и все они разного размера. Мы не знали, что Вы недовольны размером комнаты, что рано вы занимаетесь физкультурой. Если бы Вы сообщили нам об этом, даже после приезда, мы охотно переселили бы Вас в намного больший номер, чтобы вам было удобнее выполнять упражнения. Нам жаль, что Вам не понравилась наша еда. Наши повара стараются удовлетворить все требования наших клиентов. И это можно было решить прямо в ресторане, если бы мы знали об этой Вашей проблеме. Мы способны приготовить блюда в соответствии с индивидуальными пожеланиями. Много клиентов возвращается к нам именно благодаря уникальному положению нашего отеля, который расположен на холме над Карловыми Варами, где чистый воздух и красивый вид. При этом он доступен пешком (всего 5 минут) или с помощью фуникулера, который для наших гостей бесплатный и расположен всего в одной-двух минутах от отеля, и ходит каждых 15-20 минут. Также мы предлагаем нашим клиентам бесплатное пользование общественным транспортом, чтобы они могли добраться до удаленных мест Карловых Вар, таких как торговые зоны. Новый год – господин Гаме, вы оплатили Новый год в Клубе «Империал» за 100 евро с человека. Не знаю, почему Вы критикуете Новый год в концертном зале, где Вы очевидно не были и где доплата составляла 250 евро с человека. Извините, но я не знаю, что Вам на это ответить. Мы пятизвездочный отель, где, главным образом, для ужина предписан дресс-код в стиле casual. К сожалению, этот дресс-код не включает в себя никакую спортивную одежду. Во время завтраков и обедов наш персонал относится к дресс-коду снисходительнее, поскольку клиенты в первой половине дня массово посещают процедуры. Господин Гаме, нам очень жаль, что мы не соответствовали Вашим ожиданиям. Наш отель отвечает всем требованиям к 5* по международным стандартам Hotelstars. Два года назад отель прошел строгую проверку и соответствует всем требованиям к отелю 5*. Это один из немногих отелей в Карловых Варах, получивших официальную классификацию. Господин Гаме, спасибо Вам и мы будем рады, если Вы в будущем Вы снова к нам приедете. Мы планируем реконструкцию ванных комнат, как Вы сами упоминали. У нас есть ванны, но душевые кабины, которые уже стали стандартом, еще не имеются во всех номерах. Возможно, в будущем нам удастся изменить Ваше мнение о нашем красивом отеле.

Excellent Hotel, polite staff, very helpful. High-quality and varied food. Excellent location in the mountains, there is a funicular to Karlovy Vary. Air, silence, peace. For an additional fee of 1000 rubles. Great gym, new equipment. There are indoor tennis courts.Negatives
Treatment quality is stretched 4. Even when purchasing a premium package, the set is limited. Massage specialists are weak, physiotherapy is weak. Good gas injections, paragango, mud, pressotherapy. For two people, we paid an additional 30 thousand rubles for treatment with the premium package. In 8 days. The result was an average of 4 procedures per day. Prices for everything are higher than in Bavaria. On average, for 1 procedure an additional 5 thousand rubles. If you can afford not to save :)), you will like it!Negatives
Horrible, sheets with elastic bands and..... with oilcloth....(total peep). We were in this hotel in the summer of 2009, everything was impressive, but today it is clear that they have started saving on everything. New Year's dinner was a special song, the hotel was decorated not just in the style of the USSR of the 70s, but even the garlands were made of paper, like my grandmother had in her chest (they walked around and went crazy). In a Paris restaurant, they once brought us desserts with ice cream at the same time as the main courses (((I think we’ll choose something different next time))Positives
Thank you for your good and prompt work: I have been using your services for 5 years. This time, through my fault, my mother could not fly on time, she was 1 week late, because I forgot that her visa had expired. You recalculated minus this week: thank you very much for that. Good luck and prosperity to you. -- Sincerely, Oksana EgorovaPositives
The medical care and all the procedures performed are simply wonderful! You gain strength and health, for which many thanks to the staff! The food in the restaurant is excellent. The room is cleaned regularly and without any complaints. We rested at the beginning of November and were not disappointed, the warm sunny weather is perfect for walking, there are no crowds of tourists. I recommend this time to everyone, golden autumn and beauty all around! Air... even eat it with a spoon!Negatives
The impression was slightly spoiled by the departure from Karlovy Vary airport, but this is rather a minus for my fellow citizens: when flying with a low-cost airline, you need to know and follow the airline’s rules, and not be hysterical about paid check-in. Everything is written on the tickets, what do the Czechs have to do with it?! Read, follow, register in advance and everyone will be happy!Positives
If I could add something to “great”, I would. And it’s great in all respects.Positives
Treatment, hotel, service, food, location. In general, everything was amazing!Positives
Great location! The sanatorium is located on the top of a hill above the city - a beautiful view of Karlovy Vary, surrounded by forest, clean air and silence! The center can be reached by a free cable car in a maximum of 15 minutes. During the same time, you can go down on foot along a very picturesque street, but this is for extreme sports enthusiasts - it is very steep. Highly qualified medical staff, clear organization of the treatment process, attentive attention to any requests. Excellent food: varied, well prepared - for a sanatorium this can be considered haute cuisine! The rooms are cleaned twice a day, very thoroughly. A large selection of excursions in the Czech Republic, Germany and Austria. It wasn't boring. We were satisfied with both the treatment and the rest, we will definitely come back more than once and will recommend it to friends and acquaintances! Thank you very much!Negatives
Minor complaints about the waiters, however, not enough to say "great"Positives
Treatment, nutrition, spa center workNegatives
There is no negativity. Except for the remoteness from the sources and dependence on the funicular. However, we always stay at the Imperial. So it's probably not a negative thing.Positives
1) the Paris restaurant was much better than the Prague restaurant in terms of service and friendliness of the staff. It would be great to suggest the Paris restaurant when booking. 2) the rooms are clean (at first they gave me a room where it was very noisy due to renovations in the building, but they quickly changed it to a quiet room). 3) it’s very pleasant to sit in the cafe and drink tea, the staff there is very polite and attentive! Special thanks to them for this!Negatives
1) paid €1544 instead of €1440 for accommodation and meals. 2) there are no waiters in the Prague restaurant (you have to look for them with your eyes and give a signal to order drinks); the food was a big change. Exchanged with additional payment to the Paris restaurant. 3) Yevhenii Bubyr Yevhenii Bubyr was UNPLEASANTLY insistent with a request to bring him horse meat from Kazakhstan for payment. I went to him three times for injection procedures, and all three times he talked about meat. I am silent, and he again and again talks about meat (bring it - I’ll buy it). It was only the third time that I said that I was not interested. Although he could understand from my silence in the first two procedures that this is not worth discussing with me. I was silent because I didn’t expect such pressure and was absolutely not ready to discuss anything due to my weak condition after the previous thermal procedures. 4) the doctor said that the tests were in order. When I left, I asked for a copy. And there is an excess of the norm for two indicators, about which they did not tell me or explain anything to me. 5) the head of the room for mud application is noisy (the nurses either talk loudly or shuffle back and forth above the headboard); the music playing in the background was actually noisy for me. It would be good to limit music to the corridor or turn on music if the patient needs it and it helps.Positives
The best place on earth! Many thanks to all the staff for a great time and improved health. We will be back with great pleasure to see you next year.Negatives
