Lovely Stay
A warm welcome on arrival. Lovely room in a separate building to the main one. Nice gardens and view from the room. Access to the spa included, but the pool was out of use both days. Charged extra by accident when checking out, but recitifed when phoned.

We really enjoyed our stay at Karel V. The hotel is beautiful and the location is simply excellent! A bit disappointing is the service in the brasserie and the breakfast area, the service is simply VERY slow! For the rest, our compliments!

This was a great place to relax for a few days before heading home. Lovely quaint hotel with everything that you need. Breakfast buffet was fantastic. Easy access to walk to shopping and restaurants.
Found that most shops didn’t open till about 11:00 am and closed at 6:00 pm. So plan your shopping around those hours.
Would stay there again!

Nice hotel , very traditional. However rooms quite dated and not as clean as I would expect for the price. Dusty towel rails as an example and rooms not made up to a decent standard, curtains left half open for example.

It would have been so nice but.
Beautiful suite with all what we need.
But unfortunately, I didn't sleep. Mattress too soft, too warm under the cover and too cold outside. Heard the neighbors at 5 am talking normally just behind the wall...
Breakfast amazing.
