Interhotel Central

Old style hotel perfect location and feeling good

I've travelled to over 60 countries in the world and I've never been treated as poorly as I was when I walked into this hotel. There's no way Interhotel Central is a four-star hotel because the front desk receptionist, Aleksandr, is so rude that he should never work in tourism. I was looking to switch from another hotel and I wanted to check out Hotel Central. I walked in and I asked Aleksander in Russian if he knew of any cosmetics salons that were open on Saturday. He could have said “No, sorry, I don’t have that information” and ended the interaction there and that would have been a normal answer. But he preferred to say: "No. You're asking the wrong question. Why should I know this kind of information? It's not like we have deals with all the stores and salons in town. You could look this up on the internet." How can a four-star hotel train its staff to be so incredibly rude to a potential customer? I have gone into hotels, hostels, other tourist businesses and asked similar questions and people answered me politely because they knew their job was to orient and serve people who were not locals. I told him that it's a typical question for tourists to ask which businesses are open on a weekend. Not all of these small cosmetic salons even have websites or have all of their information on the net. He said that I was asking an impossible question and that it was not his job to know this information. He was mean and angry. If the Interhotel Central wants to maintain its reputation as a four-star hotel, it needs to make sure it doesn't hire vicious people who are evil to tourists. People come to Karlovy Vary to escape from the evils of the world and to heal themselves, not to have a hotel worker spew anger at them.

The hotel captures/keeps alive the old grandeur from when Karlovy Vary was a playground for the 18th century aristocrats, or so I get the feeling. Great location, parking right there in front or in the back (set up ahead of time would be easier), great rooms, great breakfast, and super helpful staff. Among your many options for staying in town, definitely consider this one.

Cousy old style hotel with wonderfull view to the river and shoping street. Exellent service and breakfast.Here is a swiming pool. Really spacy rooms. Family friendly. Sauna, massage and parking place is like an extra service.We enjoyed beeing in this hotel!

It was like a fairy-tale. From the very beginning and to the very end. The stuff was super-friendly. Alexander at the reception was patient and attentive to every single query. Rooms were designed is style of 19th century and the hotel itself with antique furniture, gold candelabras created unique a**osphere. The rooms were really clean, we got cleaning every day. During the cleaning, we got fresh towels, body lotions, shampoos. In addition, we had a tea pot in the room and the supplies of tea was renewed every day. Another great point to choose this place is food. We were getting breakfast, lunch and dinner and all of them were fenominal: selection of salads, snacks, drinks and mains that would suit to everyone ( vegan, meat and fish-lovers). The food was always fresh and served hot. Finally, trea**ents were absolute joy. Medical stuff was professional and polite: doctors, nurses and other professionals. They were delivering the best service and made feel really comfortable. I was getting hydro- massage, wax therapy, electric trea**ents and warm mud experiences. Also the mineral water resources were really close to hotel that made the process of water trea**ent really easy to follow. It's just another occasion to thank amazing stuff of Hotel Central that made us to experience the most relaxing holiday.

Very nice hotel, especially I admired super helpful staff, room cleanliness, comfortable spa and tasty food. Very convenient location as it is in the city center. Highly recommend for weekends or longer stays.

Stylish, great location and pool area is nice in the summertime. We were happy about our reserved parking space outside the hotel. Had to pay for this though ;) all in all - highly recommended. BTW had a great view over the city from our rooms on the front side.

A family stay in Carlsbad Rooms are clean with nice view of the city Service is friendly Nice breakfast with great staff Close to everything Parking is a available and convenient Will stay again in the future

Breakfast was insufficient and cold, the hotel was completely empty and no one spoke English there. Not even receptionist. Do NOT recommend it at all, a depressing place that should have been shut down years ago. The only positive thing is the location but on the other hand, there are other hotels around that I believe would be a better choice for your stay.
