Our family stayed in this beautiful hotel during the weekend. There was a nice welcome from reception staff. The staff was very friendly at the reception and also in the restaurant. The room was so beautiful and well cleaned by. Hotel is situated few minutes from Špindleruv Mlýn -you can visit it by bus transport We will definately come back soon :-) Thank you so much again for great service!!!

Staying in Clarion hotel for skiing weekend I must say that Clarion holding 4* is a way exaggerated fact. They might have a wellnes&fitness, nice rooms, food was ok, coffee horrible! What very bottered me was that I found some of the staff unpolite with a lack of basic social manners towards the costumers. I think **** hotel should train all of their employees so they can complete the philosophy of 4*hotel to have a happy&returning costumers. I hope Clarion will improve the costumer service in the future! Eva
Booked for a group of 14 for 3 nights for our trip to Horice for the Czech TT, unable to find anything nearer to the races I opted for a ski hotel in the summer. Friday night was noisy (some sort of kids event on) but rooms were OK. Rest of the weekend was a bit quieter but despite being cheap the food was not really very good. Plenty of it but too much like school dinners, plenty of staff to clear the tables and sometimes a bit too keen. Served a purpose and was cheap but it shows in the quality.
Clarion as a brand should mean a certain standard: they even say that in their own advertising. I have stayed at Clarions both in the CZ and abroad and while I don't think they are the best of hotels, they do usually guarantee a certain "average acceptable standard". On a recent business trip, I stayed at the Clarion in Špindlerův mlýn and this hotel certainly does not meet that standard by a mile. The building is old and ugly but that's not the fault of the Clarion chain. Inside, the redecoration was done in a half-baked approach: my room was 1990s decor and an ugly old, rusty bathroom, certainly not worthy of 4 stars. The restaurant was updated and the bar was somewhere in between. Food was average, service frightfully slow and painfull to even watch. The entire staff look like someone playing a movie on half-speed. Everything takes sooooo looooong! (including relatively simple reception tasks or bringing a beer at the bar) What's more, the staff looks tired, demotivated and generally unhappy to work there and that adds to an overall depressing and unwelcome feel one gets after visiting this place. The Clarion should be avoided...actually Špindlerův mlýn as a whole should be avoided... but if you've made the unfortunate decision to visit "Czech Aspen", find a different place to stay.…
My wife and I booked a Friday through Monday stay using a Slevomat that provided us with buffets for breakfast and dinner, along with 20% off wellness. The back story is a little important on this one. This was for my 40th birthday and a reward for working hard all summer and dropping 13kgs, hence the wellness. There were good and disappointing experiences this weekend. First the good. The room was clean and everything we expected was supplied. The cleaning lady was very nice and understood we wanted privacy. She allowed us to take what we needed and always with a smile. The front desk staff were very friendly and helpful. They knew the bus schedule and the estimated time that our hike to Sněžka would take. Now the disappointments. First, the dinning. Although it was all you could eat, I have never seen a place with so much staff, with so little volume of customers, have so much problem keeping food available. The food itself is seemed to have been overcooked and without flavor. I had to add salt to my soup three times to get some flavor for example. Most of the dinning area staff spoke almost no Czech. Even though we were in Czech Republic. Things like asking for the bill and a cappuccino had to be relayed to three different people before it was understood. The wellness center. As I said, part of the was going to a reward for working hard this summer and losing a lot of weight. My intent was to have my first massage. When we arrived on Friday night around 19:00, we went straight to the wellness center after checking in to reserve at time for me on Saturday. We were met by a man that I can best describe as looking like Moby. He told us immediately that Saturday was fully booked, and my wife confirmed again in Czech to avoid any confusion. The next day we checked again with a different woman this time and my wife booked an appointment of later that day for an hour standard massage for me. When I showed up for that appointment, yet another woman met me and seemed very confused that I was there for a 60 minute massage, and then had to speak with Moby about it. I was told sit in the mean time. I have lived in this country for a while now and understand more Czech than I let on. I could hear them speaking about the length of my massage and heard homosexual thrown around a couple of times. Finally, I was sent back to the room where Moby worked on me for about 45 minutes, then told me I was finished. I tried to explain to him that this was my first massage and why I was there, but I don't think he understood me. If they don't want men to get massages then they should post it or hire more professional staff. All in all, we would not go back there. They do have a kids area that looked good, but we didn't bring ours this time. There are so many places with similar or better amenities, I don't think it's worth a second chance. …
We booked a superior room, and we had wellness, pool and gym included, and they gave us slippers and bathrobe. Hotel room was nice and clean, staff was very tentative and considerate. A special plus goes to the restaurant manager, who was very pleasant and nice ho us. We had breakfast and dinner, and food was delicious. The phones went out for a while in the hotel, other than that, everything was perfect.
I booked this hotel through Booking.com and booked a Superior room. The room was quite well appointed but small for a superior. The Wi-Fi didn't work in the room and Reception said it was because I was on 7th floor - apparently it doesn't reach!!! I asked to move rooms but no luck. I asked for slight discount on checking out because of wifi but got no joy. Also, I was charged for car parking at the hotel which is certainly not mentioned when booking. Breakfast is a buffet and chaotic - though in fairness it was CZ school holiday and there were kids everywhere. That said, although the choice was OK, hot food was generally cold - beans, eggs, bacon etc. Tip: the earlier you go for breakfast the better. The spa area is OK but swimming pool water is pretty cold and you have to book the sauna in advance but the weight room is well stocked. The bar area is OK and all the staff speak English - though apparently there are few English tourists. Situated next to a ski run which is OK but ideally you need transport to ski Spindleruv Mlyn as it is not a linked resort. OK for a couple of days but any longer would be boring. I think I paid over the odds for my stay and therefore perceive I didn't get value for money but the hotel is clean, fairly well appointed and the staff were friendly. …
Room was good with nice view although old fashioned. Breakfast was very good except the coffee from the machines, otherwise good variety. In general i would rate it as a good 3 star or an average 4 star.
Only good thing is the breakfast. The rooms are old and dirty. Minibar is empty. The trashcan was full. Everythigbwas charged extra. Pool costs extra. Sauna has to be booked. Parking is extra. They tell you this in the end. Highly unprofessional.
