Hotel Luisa

Františkovy Lázně is in our opinion the prettiest of the three well known spa towns in Northwestern Bohemia, and also quite cheap to stay at. We paid about the equivalent of £100 for a single and a double for two nights at Hotel Luisa i.e about £16.50 pppn B&B. The hotel has a faded elegance which is quite common in Czech hotels, but it means you get acres of room space for cheap as chips on a comfortable bed. The continental buffet breakfast was nice, with plenty of choice. Reception was friendly and helpful. The only reason I have not given it 5 circles is that that 1) the rooms did not have the advertised refrigerators and 2) whilst it does have a restaurant to serve evening meals, which we tried on one of our two nights, the menu was very limited (no beef for example) and not of very good quality either. For entertainment during the day, we went off walking in the woods and beautiful countryside roundabout the town, but there are also the options of lazing time away in the spa treatments or the many cafes and restaurants both in the spa area itself and the newtown areas of Františkovy Lázně.
