Overall Ratings & Reviews Chateau hotel Zbiroh

Great experience

Family trip with stay at a castle

We spent a very happy weekend here. The room was beautiful with an astounding view of the castle. The staff went out of their way to make us feel comfortable.

We liked its historical significance. We were a bit disappointed when during the tour of the castle the visit of the Mucha-related rooms (the object of our main interest) was rushed and cut very short.

Amazing castle located an a nice green area. Large and well maintained rooms.

This place was awesome!!! We have been touring old castles in the Czech Republic and it was a privilege to stay in this beautifully restored place. The price was quite reasonable as well and the restaurant very good. The picture is the view from our room.

No shower no desk wifi terrible bed was hard as a rock

Lovely place. Staff very nice. Hotel is clean. Free parking. A great getaway. our party had two rooms, a standard and deluxe. Neither room had a shower, just a very nice, very large bathroom with a big tub with attached hand held shower. This may be an inconvenience for some and even difficult for less mobile/older folks to get in and out of the huge bathtub. WiFi very poor in the rooms. Mostly nonexistent unless in restaurant and even then it was spotty. Out in the countryside so very easy to sleep well- very dark and quiet at night.

Staying in a castle with its own vineyard on your European vacation IS possible! Not only is this a beautiful property surrounded by a gorgeous county view, there is convenient (and free parking) and a fantastic restaurant on site. Breakfast is beautiful in a great Great Room with plenty of good choices, the rooms have great character, there are trails on the property you can wander and enjoying the gardens in a quiet and atmospheric setting at a very reasonable price are extra vacation memories in the making.

Staff friendly. Hotel restaurant food good, you can walk around the castle in woods. Gardens really pretty. The only downside and this is why I marked the comfort down is that there was no air con. However even saying this, I stayed at the hight of Summer and it was not overly hot due to the high ceilings.

Facility was great, very clean and beautiful. Service was exceptional and very helpful. Will definitely visit and stay again. Highly recommend it to anyone.

First, the good news. The castle is awesome, a real historic gem with cool courtyards, views for miles, and interesting nooks and crannies like the pool, which is located in a vaulted crypt. The room was large and well furnished, including a mini fridge and large table for eating or games. The breakfast was great, probably the best we had anywhere. The restaurant was very good too, and probably the best for miles around. The servers were dressed in medieval costume and were very nice and helped us with the menu, which was not available in English. Had a traditional Bohemian dinner and it was great, very reasonable price too, about $45 for four including wine and the manager brought over an apertif after dinner. The location is midway between Prague and Plzn and ideal as a base to explore. Nearby is Hrad Tocnik, a true medieval fortified castle in ruins. It was closed when we went in March, but the workers let us in and we had the place to ourselves. Easy 25 minute drive to Zlicin where you can park the car for $2, buy a $5pp metro day pass and get into and around Prague. The not so good news. You will have to carry your bags some distance from the car park and if you have trouble walking or climbing stairs, forget it. Also, the pool is very cool, but is included only as part of the "spa" and must be reserved in advance for $10pp per hour. I thought it should have been included, especially since we booked the largest suite they had.

I had a very nice stay. The location is amazing and the food too.

A very long way to carry your luggage to the room with no help. We were informed that there was a sightseeing tour starting at 10am and no booking was necessary. after waiting to 10.15 we were informed that the tour was not going but later found out that a tour from outside the hotel was taken through the hotel at 10.30. So we were not impressed as they could not tell us when the next tour was or if there was going to be another tour. So this was very disappointing as part of the enjoyment from staying in a historical hotel is to get the history.

Excellent hotel, quiet area and very relaxing.

Beautiful, historic and great views. Wifi isn't good in the rooms , but ok in the restaurant. Also, no stand up showers as most rooms have a slanted ceiling over the tub. Also, you must request a remote for the air conditioning unit if you want to use it.

Warning to anyone who drives here: we arrived at night, couldn't seethe castle, and the GPS didn't work! We tried 3 different apps and the only one that had the hotel's address was Google maps. By the time we arrived, I was ready to leave, and the non-accessible entrance didn't help. (I'm on crutches due to broken knee) However, all of my frustration evaporated when I saw the room and toured the charming courtyard, ate at the amazing restaurant, and enjoyed the wonderful service. This place is a gem and considering that I walked in with "one star" in mind, it's a miracle that they changed my opinion so quickly.

Just great. A castle above a small town about 30-40 miles outside of Prague. We had an excellent stay and this is the type of place that needs to be supported by hotels.com members.

Beautiful suite room. Pricy for the area but not relative to other castle accommodations. Nice grounds. Clean and comfortable. Great private spa/pool/sauna area. Good breakfast with lots of choices.

Very friendly and well prepared staff in the hotel. Though room cleaning was a bit strange - I would expect that toiletries are replenished after being used. That was a small thing, but it didn't seem adequate to 5*status. Food in restaurant was wonderful, though depending on the shift services varied from excellent to a bit grumpy and not really catering for non-Czech speakers ;)
