Positives

Despite the remoteness of the source, I enjoyed running there 3 times a day (because they feed well). I was very lucky with the room - the windows overlooked the forest, so I fell asleep and woke up to the singing of birds. Although the furniture is a little old, this did not spoil the spacious room with very high ceilings and a large bathroom (with good plumbing). The furniture in the room, doors, windows are all made of natural wood, and not, as in modern hotels, everything is made of plastic. Thank you very much for the transfer (wonderful driver - Renault minibus)

Negatives

I got sick on Saturday, I had a high temperature, but I didn’t have a thermometer (because it’s in the head nurse’s office, and she’s not there on weekends). In our sanatoriums there is always a doctor on duty on weekends.

Positives

Silence, peace. Staff attention. Good food. Good location. I would like to mention the medical staff: Eva, Thomas; restaurant staff, although the food was often over-salted (we came for treatment). You can see what they say here: The cook is a very loving person. Often fell in love and oversalted.

Negatives

Not all guests consider the hotel to be non-smoking. The staff at the reception turns a blind eye to this, because... smokers themselves. Either they or the head nurse do not tell guests that they need to sign up for the pool and sauna. Therefore, it turns out to be pandemonium. There was a case when we were having classes with an instructor in the water, and then a couple came to swim. Well, of course, the instructor asked for them. The head nurse seems to be attentive and polite, but she will do it anyway in her own way. I had to contact her with one question 4 times and still it turned out according to her, and in retaliation I was given 6 procedures in one day, barely having time to have breakfast. And one more thing, I would like to explain to the maids that check-out is at 12.00, so that they do not try to enter the room for cleaning at 10.00.

Answer from Spa-Hotel Villa Smetana

Уважаемая г-жа Королева, большое Вам спасибо за Ваш отзыв. Нашего повара мы предупредили, что не нужно часто влюбляться и он решил через месяц жениться, так что надеемся, что больше пересаливать не будет. Кроме того, на этом сайте написано в разделе удобства: заселение (14:00), выселение (10:00), поэтому наша горничная правильно пыталась убрать номер. Надеюсь, что Вам это не очень помешало. На следующий раз предупредите пожалуйста ресепциониста или горничную и мы попробуем Вам выселение из номера по нашим возможностям продлить. Желаем Вам всего доброго и до встречи в отеле Сметана Вышеград! Заместитель директора отеля Smetana Vyšehrad Barbora Zemková

I am simply delighted with my holiday in Smetana Vysehrad. Excellent service, staff, treatment, location. Heartfelt thanks to all the staff of the sanatorium (hotel)!!! I would like to go back there again. The work to improve the quality of services provided to vacationers is very visible.

Negatives

There are no cons. Just a few words for all sanatoriums (hotels) about which there are negative statements: they are primarily aimed at correcting any shortcomings and shortcomings in the treatment and organization of vacationers’ stay in a particular hotel. Of course, if possible.

Wonderful hotel with very good service staff, responsive to any request. Within 10 days of my stay I felt the results after the treatment procedures. My lower back, which I had been complaining about, stopped hurting. I hope the effect is not so short-lived. Excellent wellness center, with an excellent jacuzzi, Kneipp path and 3 saunas. The pool is small, but free to use, and allows you to relax :). The hotel is located on a hill, but there is a short (5 minute walk) road through the stairs (about 80 steps), with an exit opposite the Thermal Hotel. There is a forested area nearby where you can take walks.

Thank you very much for your booking website, check-in was wonderful, excellent work of the staff, special thanks to the cook for the individual preparation of dietary dishes, I would also like to note the attention and friendly attitude of the canteen workers, the reception staff who were always ready to help, the senior nurse. nurses, doctors, massage therapists. I liked it, I would come back to this hotel.

Excellent work by the reception staff, good work by the waiters, good work by the staff during the procedures. Excellent opportunity to constantly use the SPA services and swimming pool. Good room cleaning.

Negatives

The meeting with the doctor and nurse was chaotic and nervous. There is no way to influence the choice of procedures. When checking in on Friday afternoon, three days are lost without procedures. Quite tasteless food.

A good hotel that lives up to the stated 4 stars. Everything is at a good level - treatment, nutrition. Accurate and impeccable work of the staff. I liked everything very much.

Positives

Very beautiful location of the hotel. Opposite is a Russian church. Beautiful building. Very friendly and professional staff. Moderate nutrition corresponds to a sanatorium with a focus on treating the gastrointestinal tract. All treatment is well organized. The price of the tour is quite consistent with the services provided.

Negatives

Not all rooms have renovated bathrooms. The furniture in the rooms and restaurant needs replacing.

The spa hotel is located in a very picturesque place. Silence, forest, not far away a small pond. Pedestrian and walking alleys. The staff is very attentive and friendly. I would especially like to note: Dana from the reception; when contacting, they received comprehensive answers to all questions and useful advice; head nurse Irena; health worker Eva; paramedic Thomas. I would like to note the work of the waiters.

Positives

Quiet hotel, near a park, an Orthodox church, 15-20 minutes walk to the springs and the center. Nice pool and sauna - everything is clean. Friendly hotel workers and medical staff are always ready to help, organize everything quickly and well.

Negatives

The kitchen is terrible, not even worthy of 2 stars. Eggs for breakfast are black - they are heated probably 10 times. The baked goods are not the first or even the second freshest. The choice of salads is minimal - tomatoes, cucumbers, red cabbage, white cabbage - everything!!! (for dinner there is also a small outlet with a snack; For dinner the same tomatoes and cucumbers are already sour, only seasoned with oil. Porridge on water without adding salt or milk - well, that’s okay, probably designed for sick stomachs - there is no distribution among treatment tables - everyone eats the same thing and also. The only fruits are apples - once I actually saw 2 bananas and one kiwi.

An excellent hotel, which is located on a hill, which was a big plus for us, because... There was a forest nearby, a forest pond (the child liked to feed the fish and ducks), not far from the colonnade and the city center. The hotels have a nice swimming pool with a counter-current. Excellent treatment and nutrition. Thank you sanatorium.com for helping me choose this hotel.

Negatives

There is none of them. We'll come again.

Hello everyone! Satisfied. As soon as I ordered, V. Burya called and we adjusted the sanatorium. For which I am very grateful to him. We arrived with our own car, so free, guarded parking right on the territory of the spa hotel was a bonus. All medical equipment (baths, rooms, medical equipment, etc.) are new. Bed linen, bathrobes, snow-white slippers. They change often. The staff is very friendly, kind and responsive to any requests. Due to the fact that the spa hotel is located on a hill, and the contingent of people being treated is very old, it is difficult to walk up the stairs. And the staff is very, very good. This is true. Personally, my wife, son and I are very grateful to them. With sincere respect, the Kravtsov family. Vitebsk.

Negatives

There is only one negative. LOW SALARY OF MEDICAL AND SERVICE PERSONNEL. We need to add it urgently!

Positives

The location of the hotel is close to the center and the springs, free parking, free sauna and swimming pool. You can walk to the springs in 5 minutes along the stairs or 15 minutes along a smooth climb. Excellent massage from Tomas, high-quality room cleaning. Service in a restaurant.

Negatives

The hotel was unlucky with a chef in 14 days only once the food was tasty and edible, the breakfast selection is poor, the fruits are not ripe, the pastries are not fresh... a woman works at the reception during the day, you have to stand in front of her for a couple of minutes so that she can take a break from her work and drew attention to you, it’s even a pity that she’s always busy (with the computer, talking on the phone or with other hotel employees), I’m not even saying that she said hello in the morning or even looked up....

I really liked the location of the hotel. Quiet place and very close to the springs. An ideal place for those who like to take a walk. First time in this hotel. I really liked the room we were put in - spacious, comfortable. The hotel has a good sauna.

Negatives

Unfortunately, I didn’t like the food. Small choice. Not tasty. The staff doesn’t look and doesn’t have time to bring the missing products on time. The tables are not very clean. The rooms are cleaned, but not always conscientiously. When you check in, there are some leftovers on the floor and in the sink in the bathroom then hair. The rooms have carpeting that has not been cleaned in the corners for a long time. The hotel has a swimming pool - very small, only two or three people can swim. The treatment cannot be called serious. Anyone who has been treated in Lithuania will agree. Baths that are prescribed for unknown reasons - you just lie in plain warm water - the water is not minimal!!!. Mud baths are paid, but also useless - the cat cried mud in them. Injections with carbon dioxide - they are also of no use. Massage also cannot be called good. If you go to this hotel only because it is in a good location - everything else is not suitable for a hotel with 4 stars. Mostly 3 stars!!!!

Answer from Spa-Hotel Villa Smetana

Уважаемая госпожа Фелкер, жемчужная ванна, которая Вам была назначена, это освежающий, тонизирующий микромассаж тела пузырьками воздуха. Грязи привозит производитель в упаковках – один пакет для одной ванны. У всех наших массажистов более чем 10-ти летний опыт работы. Если Вы были недовольны лечением, можно было во время Вашего пребывания этот вопрос решить с доктором. По поводу питания – сейчас готовим совсем новое меню для наших клиентов. Желаем Вам всего самого лучшего, Ева Чехова – директор отеля.

Friendly staff. Large rooms with beautiful high ceilings. Very beautiful location next to the forest and park. Professional medical care.

Negatives

The impression of spaciousness in the room is worsened by the neglected state of the windows (paint peeling, broken handles) and the terrible creaking of the floors in the room. But the most negative impression remained from the food. If breakfast can still be rated 3.5-4, then dinner is just 2-2.5. The food for dinner (we didn’t have lunch, but according to the guests, the quality was the same as in the evening) was completely tasteless, regularly overcooked/overdried, sometimes even just at room temperature. For breakfast, our cook even managed to distort the buckwheat and oatmeal porridge absolutely horribly. Of course, food should be dietary, but this does not mean it should be tasteless.

The hotel's location is very good for lovers of outdoor activities, close to the mountains with many hiking trails. The hotel has a small but quite good complex of saunas and a swimming pool. Nearby is an Orthodox church. The sources are within a 10-15 minute walk through the beautiful streets of the city (if you don’t mind the physical exertion of climbing). When choosing a hotel next time I will also consider Smetanu Vyšehrad.

The hotel's excellent location for those who do not have problems with the musculoskeletal system, friendly staff, especially the waiters in the dining room. AND VERY GOOD AND PROFESSIONAL WORK OF THE SANATORIUMS..COM EMPLOYEES, IN PARTICULAR VLADISLAV BURI. THANK YOU!!1

Negatives

I would like the food to be more dietary. because people with diseases of the gastrointestinal tract come to the resort. I would like at least some rooms to have firmer mattresses, as many people suffer from spinal diseases. Shower stalls should have anti-slip mats or handles that you can hold on to - a lot of older people can slip and fall. Lunch time could be extended to 3 hours - the hotel is located a bit far from the springs.

The sanatorium has an excellent location for lovers of walking - there is a forest area nearby; you can reach the springs along a short route along the stairs (100-120 steps) or along sidewalks, along quiet streets with a smooth descent. I would like to note the successful information content of the location of the treatment boxes, with their markings in the resort schedule, which makes it easier for a beginner to find the necessary box. All the staff are friendly, there are no complaints about the service, and the presence of a swimming pool and a relaxation complex with saunas, jacuzzi and other “tricks” made the stay at the sanatorium from May 1 to May 17, 2016 especially pleasant.

Negatives

Unfortunately, the young man (I don’t know his name) performing the pneumoacupuncture procedure does NOT have sufficient skill and qualifications; his procedure is quite painful, and I cannot yet judge its effectiveness.

Great staff, responsive. The hotel is in an amazing location. Special thanks to Dana. The holiday was a success. There were small lapses.

Negatives

The hotel does not have air conditioning. In the summer it is very annoying. We were lucky because... it wasn't hot. We rested for 8 days and paid for 17 procedures. I would like to think that by mistake, both my husband and I were prescribed 4 fewer procedures. After contacting the reception, the mistake was promptly corrected. It seems that this practice is used everywhere. Other vacationers encountered the same problem.
