Dne 29.8.2022 jsem doprovázel skupinu rakouských turistů, kteří měli objednanou večeři v restauraci hotelu Císař Ferdinand. Hostům se líbilo útulné prostředí přímo v prostorech vlastního minipivovaru. Velmi spokojeni byli s grilovaným selátkem, které se připravuje ve staroslovanské peci přímo u hotelu. Děkuji hotelu jménem rakouských hostů i svým, za vynikající pohoštění. Bruno Fischer, průvodce
On 29.8.2022, I accompanied a group of Austrian tourists who had ordered dinner in the restaurant of the Hotel Emperor Ferdinand. The guests liked the cozy atmosphere right in the premises of their own microbrewery. They were very satisfied with the grilled suckling pig, which is prepared in an old Slavic oven right next to the hotel. Thank you to the hotel on behalf of the Austrian guests and myself for the excellent treat. Bruno Fischer, guide

We are so grateful for a wonderfully blessed day: After a wonderful bike ride from Cheb to Loket (thank God: the flat tire finally held air), we were given a hospitable welcome in the ideally located hotel "Cisar Ferdinand". The "Honeymoon Suite" with two bedrooms offered plenty of space and was appropriately furnished for "royal children" (King Jesus!). Right next to the hotel is the bridge with a great view of the castle (see photo), a good breakfast in the morning and then on to Karlovy Vary - a perfect family highlight! Thank you, Jesus, and thank you to the hotel!

I am a bit surprised that there are not more reviews for this hotel, although I have a feeling that it is possibly due to Lokets more 'remote' location. We stayed here a couple of years ago and had a fantastic time and whilst reminiscing I thought it overdue that I commit a review to Trip Advisor.
The hotel enjoys a strategic and very scenic postion at the western end of the village and just down from the very impessive Castle, this was our first view of the hotel and certainly from the outside the view couldnt have been better. We also noted on arrival the beer garden/courtyard where during the summer months the hotel staged barbeque/roast evenings (unfortunately we missed!).
Initially the only thing that we were slightly worried about was the language barrier, I need not have worried as all the hotel staff spoke fluent (at least to my ear anyway!) German, bonus indeed as I can get by without to much difficulty. Check in was easy and our first impressions were good, seemingly a balance between modernisation and keeping an 'old world' feel.
We were given a HUGE room overlooking the main street, which was very nice as we were able to look almost into the main square and also out past the bridge at the western end, very nice indeed and in all the years my wife and I have travelled possibly the largest hotel room ever! Everything was very clean and certainly met with my wifes high standards.(Beware though if you have a room facing the street as you can be looked into from the hotel opposite, the St Florian)
Breakfast was a fairly standard continental affair, although that is not a critiscism as less is sometimes best and it certainly set us up for the day. I particurlarly enjoyed the poppy seed cakes and czech cheese. We never dined in the hotel restaurant as we both liked to eat out during the evening, although over a beer the menu certainly looked appetising.
Tip: Due to its size there are few restaurants in Loket. We ate at the majority and all were fairly good. However, our personal recommendation is the restaurant Svejk where we almost became regulars. The food was great, empty plates eaten with gusto were testament to our enjoyment and we loved the olde world decor. The staff were also very nice and friendly which helped with our enjoyment; thanks Aladar!. The prices were also very hard to beat as a similar meal in Karlovy Vary was found to be THREE times as much!
In terms of surroundings the Hotel is situated in a very good location, allowing you to stay and explore Karlovy Vary (Karlsbad) at a third of the price, just beware of Taxi scams if you are returning from Karlovy Vary later than the last buses as some unscrupulous Taxi drivers will take you the 'scenic' route (yes, we learned the hard way although it was worth it to watch the wife give the guilty Taxi driver a piece of her mind!!!). The hotel is also ideal for those with canine companions as it is dog friendly and the surrounding forestry make for some beautiful, beautiful walks;Loket from the surrounding hills is simply breathtaking.
There is not much more to say about the Hotel except we found all the staff to be helpful and friendly and we enjoyed our stay in Loket, great hotel and I heartily commend to all those wishing an ideal and quiet hotel to explore the tranquill countryside. (Note; The Hotel St Florian is located opposite operated by same company, but we noted this to be used more by coach trips than individual travellers).

What a pleasure to stay at this wonderful hotel! This place is a real gem. I believe that the Hotel Cisar Ferdinand is much nicer then the description and advertising projected on the web-site. It is decorated beautifully, especially the main dining room with all the Ferdinand ephemera and memorabilia. Fortunately for me I had my request fulfilled when I got the tower room for 10 days looking up to the tower of the castle, the top of St. Wenceslas Church and overlooking the bridge and Ohre River. This tower room actually had four rooms, it was as large as a small apartment, with plenty of space! Being a lone traveler that did not speak any foreign languages I did have a bit of a problem with the language barrrier at times at the hotel and in the town. Luckily, a young women that works there speaks English quite well and was a lot of help for me. Loket is a lovely town, it's clean, fresh, it's a quiet small town, and a half an hour bus ride to Karlovy Vary. The Loket Castle is the main attraction which is great, but the old Wenceslas Church is lovely to see, also. So many tourists come from other cities and see the main sites for a couple of hours but I feel being there for 10 days I really saw and experienced so much more. A person can go for long walks along the river, hike in the near by woods, or enjoy an afternoon in the park. The Loket Castle has plays in the courtyard, and below the castle in the park also has plays and operas. I would highly recommend staying at the Cisar Ferdinand!

This particular hotel is easy to reach on foot - 5 minutes from the bus and about 10 minutes from the railway station.
Reception and check-in off to a great start. The hotel has a lovely, historic character about it. Plenty of photos etc on the walls etc. My room (single use of a double) was a generous size. Well furnished, very clean and had a bathroom of very good condition.
I ate on the patio that evening g, good and their own brewed beer were superb so once booked in for a night, there really is no need to go elsewhere. The all nonsmoking dining room was busy, so I would suggest prebook a table to be on the safe side.
Breakfast from 0730 in the morning was particularly good.
Overall I would give this a definite 5 as I really could not find fault with anything at all.

a great little hotel with amazing rooms…. locket is a very small and low keyed little town… theres one tiny little train station and you have to walk the trail up to the castle and town… this hotel is right at the edge of the bridge.. with a nice little rester aunt.. but it closes early so get there early and don't expect crazy nightlife..the city basically shuts down at dusk.. not mush there.. nice castle views and a walk around the city is nice...

Loket is a picturesque little town which is well worth a visit and this hotel is well located at the end of the bridge leading into the main square. Our room was clean and adequately equipped although the mattresses were a bit firm. The shower room was fine albeit that ours was equipped for a disabled user. As others have said, try to avoid a room facing the street as they are overlloked by the St Florian hotel opposite. I imagine that the rooms on the riverside would have the best views. Whilst we were there, the majority of the other guests were coach parties of middle aged German tourists - a different party on each of the two nights that we stayed. This deterred us from eating in the hotel as did the poor qulity of the breakfasts - by far the worst on our whole trip. There was no fresh fruit juice - just a lurid orange coloured cordial the origin of which was difficult to decide. Fresh fruit was only available in the form of very large fresh apples and oranges - a bowl of mixed fruit salad would have been preferable. The usual range of cold meat and cheeses beloved of Germans looked particularly poor quality and unappetising. Rather stale coffee was served in thermos jugs which were placed on some of the tables, but if you sat on a table without one - as we did on the first morning - the waitresses made no attempt to help. The rest of the staff were quite pleasant and helpful although only one spoke English. German is the best language to have if you visit anywere in Loket. There is a courtyard overlooking the river were there are tables to sample the excellent beer from their in-house brewery - by far the best thing about the establishment! They also offer a menu of typically Czech cuisine in the brewery restaurant. On a Thursday evening they have a suckling pig roast but you need to book in advance if you want to participate. We ate in the Restaurant Atmosfera in the main square (see separate report) and I think I would be tempted to try the rooms in the Pension attached to the restaurant if I returned to the town.

Cisar Ferdinand is located in one of the most beautiful and carefully restored buildings just over the bridge of the medieval town. You just can't pass it... Especially because there is a well known restaurant with a garden (great view to the river) in front of it. And even more tempting is the pub and home micro brewery in the vaulted cellars. It is like a living museum with old beer mugs, barrels, and big collection of spa drinking cups. Black beer is really good! The hotel is named after Austrian emperor Ferdinand I., who visited the town. And he is also the main theme in the hotel – rooms are decorated with old pictures and there are even old crests all over the furniture... Rooms are big and bright. Mine (nr. 3) had a view to the main street with some other restored houses in sight. Although the hotel staff speaks more German than English, the communication was not a problem with some smiles and czech words... The choice of TV programs was bigger than in most other hotels I stayed in Czech republic. Breakfast was another surprise! It is served in a really nice decorated dinning room. The walls are full of old pictures and paintings and they even displayed tools with which emperor Ferdinand officially ended the building of the bridge ! Not to mention, the food was good, lot of selection...

This little town is a quiet hamlet and nothing more. The castle and quaint town are a beautiful and delightful stroll, but you will not find a full day of vacation here. The Hotel Cisar Ferdinand is the highlight of the town. The rooms are acceptable but not luxurious. The beds are only okay. The restaurant and bar are, on the other hand, quite good and extremely affordable. The beer made on site is as good as any other brewery. The menu is traditional Czech, but broad enough for most tastes and well done. If you don't try the 'smoked beer', you have not fully appreciated this little town. After you have enjoyed a full evening at Cisar Ferdinand, wander down the cobblestone street to a local bar in which only Czech is spoken for a more authentic experience. The people here are warm and friendly, and the spirits are delightful!

This hotel was an incredible repose on a long trek through Europe! While the staff didn't speak much English, they were incredibly helpful throughout our stay. The town is beautiful, and the hotel was equally as charming, with modest but well-appointed rooms in a historic setting. Rooms were also quite large.
One downside was that insulation between rooms was pretty thin, so you could hear most everything going on in adjacent rooms. And breakfast was somewhat disappointing - not terrible, but a little odd.
