Penzion Dům u barvíře

It is a very nice appartment, the size was perfect for us (three people) and it had Charme! It was clean and we had a heater for the evening when it got a bit chilly.

The only two things we could point out was that there was no bread knife, but the hosts immeditaley replied that they will take this by heart and get one! The other thing is that there is no way to montage the shower to the wall, so you have to hold it while showering or take a bath instead.

The location is absolutely fantastic — you can go for a walk at any time of day or night. The apartment is cozy and incredibly spacious. We had originally booked a smaller apartment, but at the last minute we were upgraded to a much larger and more comfortable one. Staying there feels a bit like stepping into a lovely medieval fairy tale from childhood. I can’t say what the apartment we originally booked would have been like, but this one exceeded all our expectations.

The only downside was the Wi-Fi, which didn’t work particularly well in the apartment.

Die gute Lage in der Altstadt von Krumau und die reichhaltige Ausstattung, auch mit liebem Schnickschnack. Wir waren zu dritt und hatten viel Platz. Sehr schöne Holzböden.

Die Klospülung, die nicht immer alles gleich runterspülte.

We were in Apartment #1 on 1st for (up steep set of stairs, no elevator but normal for this area of course). Hard to rate this one. We have settled on a 7 for the following reasons: Owners & Comms: 9/10 (helpful, early check-in, helped with directions etc. owner helped me get my main bag uostairs). Kitchenette: 9/10 (kettle, toaster, hotplates, microwave, fridge, crockery, cutlery, cooking gear, etc). Lounge room 7/10 (only one channel had any English speaking and that was music videos, couch reasonably comfy but not over so, does have table and chairs). Bedroom 6/10 (looked pretty enough but curtains did not block out any night lights outside and 2 stairs squeaked like crazy and kept waking each other up when needed to get up in the night. Bed was too hard for us but that is personal preference. No sheet, just slept on an underlay thingy which was super hot. No fan in room). Bathroom: 5/10 (no free standing shower or even shower over bath. There is a small half bath that you need to be fairly petite to sit in, and there is a small hand held shower stick. Ok for 1 night but not great for longer term stay, washing hair, etc. Liked that it had a warming towel rail). This 'averages' a 7 overall. If reading this review base it on the bits that are important to you. Location was terrific (other than you do have to drag cases along cobblestones for ,259m from nearest car drop off point - but this is typical for many accoms so not holding that against them at all!). Was a fantastic spot for visiting the castle and easy to explore every part of Cesky Krumlov. There were lots of PowerPoints in all rooms. Had games for kids.

We would rerate this to 8/10 if a proper pedestal fan was supplied to help in summer with sleeping and relaxing in the lounge area and a sheet was provided to sleep on and blinds to keep the light out at night. If those little bits were fixed we'd happily stay again.
