So I've heard the rumors of how if you're a tourist you may not get the friendliest service in a Czech restaurant. However, the treatment we received disgusted me. I am in the service industry in a tourist area in Baltimore, so believe me, it takes a lot for me to write a negative review. First of all, the word HOSTEL is in your name. That implies that you cater to tourists. Second of all, Cesky Krumlov is a town of maybe 10,000 that serves millions of tourists a year. So now that this rant is over, I will describe to you our experience. We took a cab into town around 9:45 upon recommendation from our Airbnb host, who is a great guy. We walk into the place from the pouring rain, and intended on spending some good money on food and drinks, because we heard it was a great place. The server came over and we asked for menus, and he said the kitchen had just closed. I understood. Then, I saw him drop menus at a table full of Czechs, and ten minutes later they have a table full of food. I go out to smoke about fifteen minutes later when I finished my beer, and saw more people just getting menus. Look, I get it. But really, I don't. I would be fired from my job for doing something like that. If you don't like serving tourists sir, then GO WORK IN A QUIET CZECH TOWN WHERE NO ONE TIPS YOU! Don't work in a tourist town. That's on you man. You missed out on a fellow service industry worker who would have tipped more than any Czech in there, but no you had to snub a tourist just because he was one. So anyone visiting this beautiful town, DONT GO THERE! They will make you feel bad for even being in their establishment.
You're welcome. read more
