Hotel Maria

After doing considerable research, we chose this hotel given it's location and proximity to attractions, transit, restaurants, bars etc. We also took into account previous reviews. The room was clean, and adequate in size for 3 people. It had a 3 piece bathroom with a small fridge. The beds were comfortable, although the sheets did not fit the mattress, so this caused us to wake thru the night and adjust them. Beds were very comfortable. Breakfast included a selection of meats, breads, cereals and fruit. Coffee was very good.

A good budget hotel. My room had a shared bath, but I never saw it being occupied. There was also a good kitchen area.

Good location, close to centre and near a Billa supermarket. Bus to central station from almost outside, and trams close too. However I had two issues. First, the room was not tidied or bin emptied during my 2 night stay. And secondly, the hotel had made an error with my booking - they received the booking correctly from hotels.com but booked me in for the wrong night. When I arrived, check in took forever since the receptionist could not find a booking for me, and then there were issues about them telling me that my friend and i could not share (even though it was a double room booked) and they made a request for extra money. The apology I got later that night was an offer of a cake or a coffee. I spoke with the manager who also was unhelpful. This fiasco ruined my stay. My friend did not stay at the hotel, and my visit to Ostrava was basically a disaster since my friend was too upset by what had happened. I put it down to hotel error plus language issues in them sorting this out and communicating with me.

Good location,quiet part of centre of town,good price...

If I’m staying somewhere on my own, then I’m happy with no frills. I was in an economy room €29 per night, no breakfast, no tea/coffee in room, shared bathroom and toilet, room location was via top floor, through a broom cupboard (certainly felt like one) and down some stairs before finally arriving. The receptionist had to guide me there because it was so confusing. A smile at any stage wouldn’t have gone amiss. Hotel location is great. The hotel was clean - new reception carpet being fitted while I was there :-) I didn’t pay extra for breakfast (I think €8), choosing instead to go to a local coffee shop. As I didn’t see any other guests, they could easily have given me a room closer to the front door - it was quite a check. I will try elsewhere in future, but would not rule out returning. I stayed here last month too. 4 of us in 2 rooms at €40 per room WITH breakfast and an en suite in both rooms. Would have been better to have gone for this.
