I spent 7 nights and had all my meals and 17 spa treatments there with the plan I chose. The price is so reasonable for all that you receive. The staff is professional and well trained. My favorite aesthetician has worked there for 10 years. The property is kept super clean. I like to travel and was impressed how hard all the staff works! They were all continually in motion. Special tip of the hat to Lenka on the front desk, she’s so smart, kind and helpful. I had a mild allergic reaction to one of the spa treatments, so next time I go back (and can hardly wait) I’ll let the Doctor and scheduler know. The property is in an ideal location right next to the iconic Church of St. Mary Magdalene, central but just off the beaten path so its quiet outside and a few steps to one of the popular springs in KV; I started each morning sipping the natural mineral water there before breakfast. The food is good and plentiful. There are some partial massages included in the spa plan I chose but If you want a full body massage, book it before you arrive. Enjoy!

My husband and I stayed in this hotel for the first time for a week.
The location is brilliant –you are literally in the centre of the town. But you dnt here the noise .
The treatments are really good.I recommended to book hotel and the one of the treatment programs.
The staff is very friendly. The rooms are cleaned . Beds are very comfortable and you just dnt want to get up .
For breakfast you have a lots of choice ,it is a buffer including vegetarian options … In fact the breakfast was my favourite…

The location is perfect as it is a very short walk to the mineral water fountains. The room was nice and clean – maid changed the towels daily and sheets every third day. The hotel has very nice decorations. Spa was absolutely perfect and had the most pleasant staff working there – best massages ever! The atmosphere was very relaxing and pleasant on our ten day holiday at this hotel. The food and restaurant service was excellent. We liked our stay very much. Highly recommend this hotel.

The location is perfect. The hotel has 18th century decor. The room was nice and clean, but small. The atmosphere was fantastic. Was pleasantly surprised to see the fruit platter and bottle of champagne with the birthday card for my Birthday. The service was excellent. There were small inconveniences: no ventilation in bathroom, no digital safe deposit box, no electronic clock to see the time , when wake up at night, no variety of channels. But these are small and insignificant. Overall liked my stay very much. Highly recommend this hotel.

I lived in Czech Republic for two years and after my return to Japan I came back every year to travel around this beautiful country. This summer I decided to visit Karlovy Vary and on the recommendation of my Czech friend I stayed in hotel Aura Palace which proved to be a very good choice. When you enter the reception, you can feel a warm noble spirit. Due to the fact that I travel to Czech Republic mainly for sightseeing, I appreciate the classic and elegant style, in which the hotel is furnished. Hotel is situated in the center of spa area and it took me 1 minute to get to the main spring and one more minute to the other hot springs and colonnades. What I appreciate the most is the size of my single room which is almost bigger compare to a double room in Japan. Hotel staff was helpful and I felt there like a welcome guest. The whole impression from visiting of Karlovy Vary and hotel Aura Palace was wonderful.

Hi, my name is Diana C.

I am ex travel agent with 10 years experience of working in Travel & Tourism industry. I love staying in Karlovy Vary, its one of my favorite destinations together with Prague. Me and my family and our friends stayed in this hotel for many times and going to come back. The reason is simple: compared to other hotels in KV Aura Palace gives you an exclusive feeling of being at home. I now live in UK but previously lived in Moscow until i was 33.

Rooms are very spacious (even singles), cosy, clean, well-maintained. I can harldy find the same quality linen as in Aura Palace. Bathrooms are extremely fresh & clean every day and although its 4* hotel, everything is provided that you need on daily basis as if you were home or in 5* hotel, even a fresh white cotton bath robe and flip flops to make it comfortable to visit SPA.SPA is very modern with a lot of procedures, you are given 18 procedures a week according to doctor’s prescription. Martin – doctor who works in the hotel for many years is very professional and has been working as military doctor before. All guests of the hotel are offered to make blood test prior to prescriptions. There are many more (about 30!) procedures that you can take for additional charge which will be much less than what you will pay in other European countries or Russia, but mostly beauty procedures such as chocolate wrap or ayurveda massages, hot stones massage, etc. – things that are not to really cure but fun, nice and pleasure to have.

Staff is mostly constant, so when we come – we see same people who know you and treat you like friends – the hotel is not huge and they remember many of the people by their names and you do the same as each of them will see you several times a day! Personnel are not extremely smiley but its in nature of Czech same as any other post-soviet culture, so noone should really be surprised. But they will do everything you need on time and thouroughly, with a warm word or word of encouragement, they can stay after working hours if you ask nicely to suit your schedule of vacation. Many thanks to wonderful people: Lenka, Irena, Petra, Andrey, Sasha and others for your kind care and helping people to feel better. They all speak Russian & German and a bit of English. Russian speakers feel very comfortable compared to many other places.

Food is always fresh, you order your food 2 days ahead choosing from a variety of 7-10 on offer. Besides there is a buffet where you always will find meat, fish or poultry dishes in addition to your main dish. and salads, sweet cakes, breads. For breakfast there is a good choice of diary and non-diary dishes (sausages, bacon, eggs, broccoli, mushrooms, pancakes, etc.), noone ever remains hungry. However, if you come to Karlovy Vary you indeed expected to be on a diet if you really want to benefit from mineral waters and procedures. But many people indeed maintain the weight or even gain if they have Full Board there, dishes are tasty, fresh and well balanced. Vegetarians though will struggle, as there is only 1 veggy dish apart from salads. Try Czech wines! Both whites and reds are something to enjoy in a good company!

The only minus for now (but for some its a big plus as you can feel absolutely free talking Russian if you can’t speak any other languages) is that the hotel is mostly full with guests from CIS countries, but there are sometimes guests from other countries such as UK, USA, Italy, Swiss, Germany. But they are very very few.

Hotel is next to all the attarctions of the city and shops, restaurants, mineral springs. You can visit an open air swimming pool with mineral water (about 30-50%) in just 15 min walk from Aura Palace (200 krona (6 euros) per 3 hours!). There are plenty of excurions and you can visit nearest european countries and interesting local places over the weekend and afternoons – you can book via Astra Travel Agency – ask at reception, you can go hiking in the local hills (there are plenty of routes and some of them are guided). Your vacation can be indeed one of the best in this country!

I do and would recommend to anyone to stay in Aura Palace if you choose KV stay for treatment and cosy stay while you recover. You will find a lot of care and will feel at home!

We came to Aura Palace three years ago with a large group of family and international friends to stay overnight. The management of the hotel was willing to make accommodations for our large group (special meal menu, secluded dining area for us, rooms), service was perfect and professional. Ever since then, we come back every summer and stay for a few days in this beautiful spa town.

I love the location: Up on the hill, in a little street off the main bustling downtown, yet only a few minutes walk from the very center with hot springs. It gives you peaceful nights and immediate access to everything during the day.

The hotel is built and decorated in a beautiful classy style that makes you feel like you’re back in the 19th century.

I hope they keep their standard!

I had visited Karlovy Vary several times before and always stayed at cheapest place possible. This time I really wanted to enjoy a bit of luxury and to get the full experience of this great little town. I chose this hotel based on a recommended from a friend. I enjoyed the stay very much, it was a great choice and, even though more expensive than I usually spend, totally a good value for the price! It is very comfy, peaceful, and quiet, even though it is very close to center of the city. No more youth hostels for me, next time I visit Karlovy Vary, I know where I’ll stay! Thank you for the experience!
