Hotel Slovan Plzen

The building is vey beautiful , but furniture is old, water runs really slow. Breakfast was okay, fresh and tasty, coffee was really super.

A hotel with ancient splendor, which fell victim to five-year plans. Would have been a different class if it was renovated, and hardly within our budget. Central, clean and nice.Parking-nice reception

You may trust the other reviewers! When the words 'faded grandeur' were used to describe this place I couldn't help but book it! What stories these walls could tell, what famous writers, royals or politicians have stayed here? Granted, it needs a thorough refurbishment, one that won't destroy the charm or authenticity of the original, but investment has yet to materialise...positives - location excellent, spacious rooms, functioning fridge, friendly staff and free breakfast. Limitations - mid 20th Century plumbing, drab Soviet era room interiors and bizarre discordant euro-pop music played in the grand (and nigh on deserted) breakfast room. The whole place gave me the vibe of the hotel from the movie The Shining, in other words, largely what I expect and more than I bargained for at £43/night. Please visit!

Central location, old world charm.

The hotel was built in 1890 (and hasn't changed much since, inside or out). Beautiful building but certainly needs some sprucing up. Good service, breakfast and room. Great location for a visit to Pilsen old town.

Hotel has large rooms that are very quiet. Furnishings are dated but the location in Plzen is fantastic.

The hotel is dated, but to me that added to its charm, it is proper old school, no fancy airs or graces, but you can feel the old school glamour of the hotel slovan and when you walk through the doors it is like you are going back in time. The staff were friendly and the restaurant staff made all food to order for breakfast, rather than put out a full buffet, as there werent many people staying whilst I was there. They were happy to accomodate my request at breakfast and made me fresh scrambled eggs with cheese and ham which was absolutely lovely. Stepping in to the doors of the hotel slovan is like stepping back in time, it is not full of modern luxuries or all singing and dancing, however the staircase is absolutely beautiful. After reading reviews saying the same this is why i chose this hotel as a base while in Plzen, as i love the quirkiness and find chain hotels boring..at the end of the day its somewhere to drop your luggage and sleep! It is close to so many different attractions and pubs, and i found the location very quiet (from a noise perspective), and the bed was very comfy after a long day walking around Plzen. If you want modern facilities this is not the place for you, but if you are after character and something different then i would say book this place...do not expect 5 stars but expect to go back in time and enjoy it..they dont make places like this any more!
