I stayed at the Hostel Merlin with two other friends. It's quaint and adorable. The back porch is right on the river and has a lovely view. (I wish I could've visited when the weather was warmer and nicer). The bathrooms are a bit small and the water pressure in the shower isn't great. The beds arent the most comfortable... More

I went to Cesky Krumlov with my boyfriend and I was looking for some nice romantic place to stay for reasonable price. We stayed in the Pension Merlin - the reception is in the nearby hostel Merlin. Everything was clean, the kitchen is well equipped (kettle, coffee machine, plates, cutlery, mugs,...). It also has a little garden and you can... More

The pension had a small kitchen with all of the necessary implements, a beautiful garden full of hidden places to sit, and was very close to everything you want to see. We loved the place. The shower did spray water in all directions from a broken nozzle, but then, this isn't luxury accomadation.

Let me preface this by saying a lot of people here are reviewing two different places: Hostel Merlin and Pension Merlin. They are run by the same people but are two different accommodations. I realise the name on the review page is 'Hostel Merlin' but there doesn't seem to be one for the Pension, which is, I imagine, why a... More

Great value for money and great location - right on the edge of the river, 1 minute walk to the center square. It is quite small in size but is very cute and in theme with the rest of the small beautiful town. We really enjoyed our stay. Only downside is receptionist is a little unreliable but thats not really... More

Nice big room with a good sized kitchen and bathroom. Nice shower with hot water that doesnt run out! A nice change from other places we have stayed. Everywhere in Cesky is in easy walking distance so its in a good location. Only problem was the internet that continuously dropped out!
