The hotel is in a great location - next to a forest, next to a beautiful Orthodox church and surrounded by equally beautiful hotels. It’s a bit far from the springs, but for those who don’t have problems with their legs, it’s not even bad - a good opportunity to take a walk. The hotel is cozy, calm, clean. The linen in the room is amazingly white, towels are changed upon request. Food for every taste and appetite, varied and very plentiful. Very friendly and friendly staff - administrators, treatment nurses, and waiters - smiling, polite, helpful. Thanks a lot, everyone. All liked it. I rested my body and soul. If possible, I will come back to this hotel. And special thanks to the site for reliable information and for the quick response to questions that arise.

My name is Evgeniya. My family and I vacationed in the Czech Republic for the first time. Everything turned out perfectly. Everyone is happy. The food is very tasty. Everything was in abundance. The price included a swimming pool and a sauna, which made us very happy. Parking near the hotel without additional payments, which is important. The staff speaks three languages, respect!

A very good hotel, friendly staff (fluent in Russian) from the front door (I don’t use the word RECEPTION as a matter of principle) to room cleaning. The medical staff is qualified. You can adjust the procedures if you don’t like something. And there are no complaints about the food. Alcoholic drinks are not intrusively offered as in other hotels, which is logical - people came (flew) for treatment. Although if you order, they will bring it. The location of the hotel is in close proximity to the park. Ideal for lovers of walks and fresh air. And the sources are not so far away.

A stay at this hotel is one of the best and most unforgettable in Karlovy Vary. Excellent location on a beautiful street next to an Orthodox church, extraordinary view of the city from the room. You can get to the springs in different ways: along Sadova Street in 10-15 minutes or directly up the stairs faster: such a walk is useful physical activity. The food is very tasty and varied. The procedures were prescribed taking into account the wishes and were performed on time and with high quality. The staff is very friendly. The hotel has a well-equipped sauna. The pool is not very large, but the recording of visits is clearly organized - almost every day I was able to swim alone. Forest hiking trails of varying degrees of difficulty begin near the hotel - many hours of walks in the forest are available. The impressions from your stay at this hotel are the most favorable. The choice of hotel for your next trip to Karlovy Vary will be clear - only Smetana Vysehrad.Negatives

My wife and I vacationed at the Smetana Vyšehrad spa hotel in the second half of May 2017. The hotel left the best impressions. Externally, this is a wonderful building, located in a beautiful place in the city, relatively close to the center. The inside of the hotel is very clean, the staff is kind and attentive, ready to immediately respond to any request of the guest. The food is varied and very tasty. Treatment procedures are carried out by friendly staff within the specified time frame. Some time has passed since our vacation ended, but now I want to return to this hotel again, I want to meet the nice people working there again. Glazman Boris, St. Petersburg

The hotel serves drinks at breakfast, lunch and dinner (juices, tea, coffee only in the morning), which is a very nice bonus; in previous hotels only plain water was served for lunch and dinner. The pool is open from 8 am to 9 pm, which is also not possible in every hotel. It seemed to me quite reasonable that the time for visiting the pool should be agreed upon at the reception. The pool is small and five or six people swimming at the same time would be undesirable. And I didn’t have any inconvenience with the coordination, I always got the opportunity to swim at the desired time +/- half an hour, and I swam alone. The water in the pool is always at a comfortable temperature. In the sauna area there is a mini pool with hydromassage. An undoubted advantage is the moderate cost of accommodation with treatment and full board.Negatives
The hotel is located in the upper part of the city, the rise is quite significant, which can create inconvenience for people with serious musculoskeletal problems. The distance from mineral sources can also create inconvenience for those who cannot walk a lot. I’m not sure if there is a countercurrent in the pool, maybe I just never managed to turn it on.

The hotel was very well equipped with the addition of a swimming pool and a sauna complex. In my opinion, this hotel, with such a treatment base, is at the level of the best hotels in Karlovy Vary. The treatment was very well organized. There are no delays in any department. The staff is attentive and friendly. The hotel is very conveniently located. The fact that he is above the level only brings him benefits: clean air, no city noise and climbing stairs is good for his health. In three weeks we had the maximum pleasure.Negatives
There are no cons. Is the squeaky floor already under repair?

A pleasant feeling from the beautiful building and its location (there are many trees nearby, birds are singing), good beds, freshly renovated bathrooms, cleaning every day, bed linen changed 2 times in 10 days. The staff is friendly, quality treatments (masseur Varka, nurses Maria, Eva, Bednarova). Nice small spa and pool. There are 4 types of lunch and dinner to choose from. Many thanks to all the staff for a good holiday.Negatives
Given the location on a hill, in order to stay hydrated and have time for procedures and meals, you need to constantly walk up and down (although this turned out to be additional useful training). The pool occupancy record is not observed (it is better not to gather more than three people). The buffet is not always of high quality; it will be difficult for dietary meals.

The procedures prescribed by the doctor are not described carefully, in the office where the procedures are performed they constantly ask: where to do it, what pressure (lymphatic drainage), you go to the head nurse and force everything out yourself, the injections prescribed by the doctor for my wife, the nurse wrote to me, the masseuse Irena gives a massage with a C, although once I did it for five, in the restaurant food is removed at 20.00 although it says the restaurant is open until 20.30

We have stayed at this spa hotel many times. Friendly staff, tasty, varied and regionally flavored food. My husband and I like that the hotel is located on a hill, and not right next to the springs, but you need to walk to drink water. There is also a park and forest nearby for active walks. The procedures are carried out efficiently. If possible, we always try to reschedule procedures for a convenient time. The hotel has its own secure parking, which is very convenient for those arriving by car.

Everything was fine until we visited the doctor and the treatment centerNegatives
We arrived for only 7 days. The number of procedures is 17 for each. As a result, my husband received 15, and I received 12. We did not receive an apology, but the procedures were added. It took 3 days. The schedule of procedures drawn up by the elder sister did not allow us to go far from the hotel, since the procedures took place throughout the day. It was proposed to coordinate the time of the procedures with the hotel director (!!!) And this was done 3 times. But neither the chief doctor nor the hotel director could solve this problem. Other hotel guests had the same problems. Very sorry for the ruined holiday. It's amazing that one person can completely ruin the treatment, the impressions, and the vacation...

I went on vacation with a very positive attitude and staying in this hotel only improved my mood. I really liked the location. I love hiking. Everything is within walking distance. Well, sometimes it’s uphill, of course, but I walked slowly, so it’s fine for me. And also, it is very quiet, there are no crowds of tourists. The room's windows overlooked the park. The birds sang all day. The room is ok. The bed is comfortable. The plumbing is new. I liked the very friendly staff. I also liked the food, considering that I am very picky about food. In 10 days, I don’t think you can cure all your ailments, but in general, all the procedures benefited me. I went to the pool in the morning. Swimming alone was such a pleasure. I think that the price/quality ratio is absolutely normal. If I go to Karlovy Vary again, I will go to this hotel again.

When scheduling procedures, the staff is not very focused on the requests of guests. For example, we specifically took only breakfast and lunch so as not to be tied to the hotel in the afternoon. Nevertheless, we managed to extend the treatment procedures throughout the day (for example, at 8.00, 14.00 and 17.55). Requests to change the time remained unanswered, the classic excuse was that the computer froze. They also refused to compensate us for the procedures scheduled for Saturday, when we were leaving on an excursion. We vacationed in several sanatoriums in Karlovy Vary, but this was the first time we encountered such a situation. As a result, despite the many advantages of this hotel, we will not go here again.

Our stay in Smetana left a good impression, perhaps we will come back here again. We chose a hotel specifically closer to the temple, because... There were Easter services and they were not mistaken! There was clean air, an excellent view, proximity to both the forest and the walking streets of the city, where there were fairs and concerts every day. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful, requests were resolved quickly. Special thanks to the employee Yaroslava from the physiotherapy department and the employee from the department where we received paraffin compresses, unfortunately, I don’t know her name, she is a very pleasant and caring woman, as well as to the young waitress Sarah, she is always in a good mood! The treatment lasted only a week, but we were rested and recharged with new strength.Negatives

We rested from April 9 to April 16, at the height of the Easter holidays in Europe, the sanatorium was crowded, but overall this did not interfere with our vacation. We got a corner room on the 1st floor for 3 people, roughly speaking 2 rooms without a door, at first we were upset by the lack of view from the windows, but after looking at another room we decided to stay, as we decided that 2 rooms were better than one, and there was a balcony overlooking the fountain in yard The rooms have everything except air conditioning, which can be uncomfortable for those traveling in the heat, but we didn’t need it :) We skipped lunch upon check-in, but upon check-out we were provided with packed lunches. Lunch and dinner are made to order, but this turned out to be a plus, since you don’t overeat and the choice is always at least 4 dishes, fish, beef, pork, duck, rabbit and the portions are quite decent, but sometimes there was very little meat for dinner, tea , juices all day, coffee only for breakfast though. I really liked the way the chef prepared it, the only thing I would like to do is diversify the salad bar more and often have potatoes as a side dish for the ordered dish, but I changed the side dish several times and always got what I wanted. About the procedures - the treatment base is not bad, but the choice is not very large, everyone receives the same list of procedures, the time is also very scattered throughout the day, only 3 procedures per day. My goal was a massage and I got it 4 times in a week! because my leg hurt from time to time and after the procedures the pain miraculously went away. I also liked the paraffin cakes. The staff is generally friendly, cleaning is fast every day, towels are changed upon request, and if it is necessary to change procedures, the nurse is helpful. I liked the holiday, the price-quality ratio corresponds, but I would like to improve some of the minuses. I doubted my choice of hotel for a long time, but in general it was in vain.Negatives
The hotel is located on a mountain, I don’t recommend it to anyone with health problems, it’s really very difficult to climb, if you go and drink some water, you can take the stairs and just go up the mountain. The pool is small, so the reservation system is for a stay of 30 minutes, this causes inconvenience, as people sometimes think that their family should be alone, the sauna is also available on request for an hour, but there were often more people than by appointment, but there was enough space for everyone. The Jacuzzi was sometimes very cold. In the dining room, diversify the buffet more and replenish the workers more often, since whoever came later, a lot of things were no longer available and they had to wait or be content with what they had. I also want to be able to take forks and knives ourselves if necessary and not use one knife, for example, for a second course and dessert. The doctor did not allow the husband and wife to come to the appointment together, and as a result, the husband did not say everything and did not receive a blood test. Pearl baths are just water with bubbles, almost the same as hydromassage in a bath; there is no manual hydromassage.Answer from Spa-Hotel Villa Smetana

Только мне жаль, что некоторые комментарии мы от Вас не получили на месте, именно мне было бы интересно, чего Вам не хватало на шведском столе, как еще можно еду разнообразить. Сейчас у нас такой выбор, которой желали клиенты в нашей анкете. Я посмотрела также Вашу анкету, которую Вы получили вместе с выбором еды, но она к сожалению осталась пустая.

The sanatorium is beautifully located on a hill, next to a park, opposite a functioning Orthodox church. Fresh clean air...birds are singing, it's a 10-15 minute walk to the drinking colonnade. In spring, summer and autumn - this is not a problem. The food is tasty and varied, the room is cleaned daily, the staff speaks Russian. The treatment is good.Negatives

good location of the hotel, the room was given with windows overlooking the park, the noise of the city was not annoying, the food was good, a large selection of treatment procedures, a Russian-speaking doctor, Russian-speaking helpful staff, daily high-quality room cleaning; good wellness center: three baths (infrared, sauna and hammam), jacuzzi, contrast foot baths.Negatives
a very small pool, which can accommodate no more than three people at a time, the wellness center is designed to accommodate no more than 10 people at a time, which is also not enough for such a large hotel; in the pool and during water procedures, ordinary (not thermal) water; To stay in this hotel, you should take into account the considerable distance (1-1.5 km) from drinking sources: this path there and back must be covered three times a day, as well as the fact that the road goes uphill, then downhill - all this only for those who do not have problems with the musculoskeletal system - constant load can only be on relatively healthy jointsAnswer from Spa-Hotel Villa Smetana
