Worst Driver Experience of our Lives with a Dangerous and Abusive Driver…read more We booked a private shuttle to leave from Salzburg to Prague with a stopover in Cesky Krumlov on 21 June 2024. Scheduled departure was 12 PM and we were 8 people, including 2 seniors, 1 child, and 1 infant. We got out of our building at 12:08 PM, a 8-minute delay. The driver greeted us with "What are you doing? It is 12:08! Can you be late for a flight or train?" We were surprised to hear that because we had not booked a train or flight but a private car only to give us some flexibility. It took us another 5-7 minutes to keep the luggage in the car and finish boarding. By 12:15, we were all in the car. Instead of getting started, the driver again started berating us for the delay. He was incredibly rude, so much so that our child got intimidated and started crying. We explained that we had a 8-minute delay because (1) we had a lot of luggage and had to take 3 elevator rides; and (2) our infant was unwell and it took us time to settle her. His response: "Why are you traveling with a baby if you can't be on time?" He then started screaming because our child was not in the car seat. We explained to him that this was because the car was not moving yet. Given his tone and attitude, we had lost patience. When two of the ladies in our group started arguing with him because he was misbehaving, he shouted "Quiet" at them and gestured towards them as though he would hit them. At this point, we were worried about our physical safety and asked him to remove our luggage and de-board us. As if his physical threats and other offensive remarks were not enough, he added a dose of racism: "Only *you people* do this", he said to us as we got out of the car. The message was clear. In all of this, the response of the CK Shuttle Management has been most disappointing. Not once did we get an apology when we called them from the site of the incident. They have also not shared the driver's full name and failed to cooperate with the police investigation in Salzburg. As an employer, it is possible to make a bad hire with mental health issues (after all, mental health check-ups are not mandated). But there is no excuse for not owning up to your mistake. SO, PLEASE BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN YOU ARE USING THIS COMPANY. Their drivers are dangerous people and it is a company that does mot care about its customers. And if you are traveling with seniors or children, definitely do not use this company. Finally, if you have already made the mistake of making a reservation, triple-check that the driver is not Josef.

The hotel messaged me before arrival exactly where to park and what to tell the parking attendant which made arrival a breeze. Check in was smooth, and because Hotels.com for some reason booked me into a 3 bedroom suite (at the price of their normal sized room) and the hotel needed to use our room to accommodate a large family, my daughter and I were happy to accept their offer of $20 euros to use at their restaurant in exchange for taking a smaller room. Worked out perfectly. The staff at the front desk (two guys) were extremely professional and courteous. They had maps showing where to go and even let me use an iPhone charger for the night. The room was very clean and modern and had excellent amenities. Probably the best part about the stay was their free breakfast buffet. They had very high quality food from eggs Benedict style cooked eggs to bacon and meats and cheese and sausages, to fresh fruits and drinks and an Espresso machine. Will absolutely stay here again and recommend them to anyone.

Ok so me and two friends go to the Grand Hotel Restaurant for some pre-drinks before dinner. We…read morewere seating immediately and the rest went downhill from there. First the bartender was extremely rude because we were only drinking wine. We picked a $35-$37 bottle of wine and two bottles of water. The white wine was served hot and was not properly chilled. Next the server brought the wrong kind of water we asked for still not sparkling. The final straw was when we asked for the bill. Immediately the serve said they do not take credit cards! We went to the hotel and they said that wasn't true. We paid in cash, but telling patrons you don't take credit cards when you do is just a crappy scam. The server was rather rude. I suspect because they are in the tourist center they don't really care about the quality of service. I gave them two stars because the place is nice looking and convenient; however, I do not recommend giving this your business if you are looking for a great experience go elsewhere.

They also have a really impressive dessert menu. A lot of ice cream shakes, ice cream sundaes, etc. I ordered the banana cocktail which was basically just a banana milk shake which was actually not terrible. It wasn't an American milkshake by any means, but it's also the Czech Republic so what was I to expect? I ordered the gnocchi which was alright, but nothing special by any means. My friend got a really impressive chicken with goat cheese and double cream which I would recommend because it looked way better than my gnocchi (which was definitely the safe option). The staff speaks good English so that's always good. tldr; not bad, but I would wander around and explore some of the other options before settling on this one

We picked the restaurant right next to the fountain. We ordered local beer and traditional Czech dishes as well as latte. They were all quite nice and very reasonable priced (two entrees, a large local beer and a latte cost 18 euros!) and we got to use the restroom in the basement which was convenient ( otherwise we had to convert euro to Czech currency just to use WC). The outdoor patio was a great place to watch the tourists (many large Asian groups) milling around.The fountain itself was a bit old looking.

Upon arrival, we were told all three nights we were staying, the restaurant was completely booked with large groups. They are more interested in catering to the busloads than with individuals or couples traveling. I killed three spiders in the room while we were there. Ceske Krumlov is a charming town and the Egon Schiele Museum there was terrific. But it's lost most of it's charm due to the hoards of people and their selfie sticks, at least when we were there in September 2018.
