Hotel Joseph 1699

Very pleasant stay. Receptionists helpful with language barrier (English/Czech)

We stayed here for 1 night in September 2023. The person at the reception desk was very friendly, spoke English and offered us a welcome beverage. This property is very unique as it is built into the side of the hill. Our room was Room 43. It had 2 levels to it. We entered on the lower level which had a sofa, desk and the bathroom. The was a staircase to the bed upstairs that took a 90 degree right turn after 3 steps. It was unique as it each step was designed for left or right foot. We were very careful going up and down the stairs and left a light on below at night to illuminate the steps. The upstairs has a slanted ceiling that I (over 6') had to duck under. There is no air conditioning, but there is a door to a very small balcony upstairs to let in cool air, plus they have provided a fan for cooling. It was a cool night in September, so this was not an issue for us. Bed was comfortable. There were TVs upstairs and downstairs. Downstairs sofa was comfortable and there was storage space. Bathroom has shower with good water pressure. There is a vending machine in the main building with snacks, beer and wine. Breakfast was just OK with basic breakfast food, meats, cheese, bread, yogurt, and eggs. Our timing was bad as the Hungarian baseball team. was staying here and they were all down at breakfast when we arrive and here were no available tables inside. We tried to eat outside, but too many smokers. Luckily room 43 is next to the breakfast room so we were able to dine in our room. Overall, this was a nice, unique place to stay, and we would stay here again if ever in the area.
