Maximilian Lifestyle Resort

There are lots of lovely natural areas around the hotel, and the interior is clean and well kept, with plenty of places to sit indoors and in the garden. The staff were friendly and cooperative, and it’s easy to spend time here with a group. The hotel restaurant serves very good meals, while breakfast was moderate. Guests can visit the neighboring castle for free, and the hotel lends bikes at no charge. There’s also a children’s room. The pool costs extra, but it’s beautiful and luxurious, with warm water facing large garden windows; the saunas are beautiful and well equipped. I was very satisfied and surprised by how beautiful and luxurious the hotel was. One small drawback: the bedsheets were dusty and had someone else’s hair on them, some room walls were dirty, and the breakfast cutlery wasn’t very clean.

The restaurant was a little pricey, but the food was delicious, and the breakfast buffet was excellent. There’s plenty to do at this resort, and the free parking behind closed gates was great to see. It’s far from city noise, and the staff were awesome, with everyone speaking English, which isn’t something to take for granted in Czech. My one small complaint is the sound insulation: the neighbors in our room were a bit loud.

The rooms were nice and clean, and the place itself is nice, but the service and food quality were terrible. During our stay nobody from the hotel staff asked if everything was okay. The dinner buffet had very little choice and the narrow space made it hard to get through. Breakfast needed improvement too. Lunch took far too long despite the restaurant being empty, and we asked for water or drinks three times without receiving them. The steaks were overcooked to well done, even though they’d asked how we wanted them, and nobody checked whether the food was satisfactory.

Good location and good value. For two people, 200 czk for pool and sauna access is a great price, and it was nice to have breakfast included. One waitress in the restaurant wasn’t very hospitable, maybe she was having a bad day. Otherwise, we enjoyed our stay.
