Top České Budějovice Hotel Reviews

Bellevue hotel Český Krumlov

Bellevue hotel Český Krumlov

10/10 Excellent
"We arrived more than one hour before the regular check in time. The staff was very welcoming, and our room was ready for us to check in. Furthermore, a small plate of fruit beautifully presented was waiting for us. The room was tastefully decorated. The weather was near 33C, luckily our room has an air conditioner. The breakfast was good. The only minus of our stay maybe the noise of the air conditioner. But it didn't affect my sleep, and our stay here is among the most satisfying in our 30 day trip in Europe."

Which area of České Budějovice is best to stay in for cheap hotels?
For travellers seeking cheap hotels in České Budějovice, focusing on areas just outside the immediate historic centre or slightly north and west of the main square often yields the best value. These locations still offer convenient access to the city's attractions while providing more budget-friendly accommodation options.

Solo travellers will find numerous smaller hotels and guesthouses in the streets surrounding the Old Town, particularly within a 15-20 minute walk of Přemysl Otakar II. Square. This allows for easy exploration of the historic core on foot, saving on local transport. Look towards the neighbourhoods around Lannova třída or along the Vltava River for good deals, where you can often find rooms at a lower price point than directly on the square.

Couples looking for a good balance of cost and convenience might consider areas slightly further out, perhaps near the university campus or the train station.
