Hotel Celerin

Considering that postcards sold in Telc both feature the hotel and the view from our room, I would say that Hotel Celerin is probably the best in town. Telc is a quaint and picturesque village--and unfortunately for us, it was completely dead the night we were there. Most restaurants were closed and there was nobody on the streets, unlike other towns we visited.||||The hotel is in a great location, at the end of the town with a spectacular view. It is small and a bit tired and has no elevator. It also doesn't have parking--so it can be really confusing both getting to the hotel and dropping off luggage. Your GPS will tell you to drive through a narrow gate into the town--and that is the only way to get to the hotel--despite the signs telling you NOT to drive into the town. You can unload luggage, but cannot park in the square (despite the fact that many cars do...). It isn't a bad walk to the public lot outside the city walls, but its not convenient.||||Our room was fine. Big and with a great view, but clearly old a tired. Not a negative, just the way it was. The staff was friendly and breakfast was pretty good. ||||We had visited Telc in January 2004 and wanted to see it in the spring. It is beautiful. IF you are going to spend the night in Telc, I would recommend the Hotel Celerin. Telc is definitely worth a visit, but I would suggest spending the night in Cesky Krumlov instead.

I bought a croissant that was charge to me 3 times the amount advertised.

+ Good location. Beautiful view to the main square from the window. Big room. Comfrotable bed. Friendly, helpful, smiley staff. Silence area. Good wifi. Cca 1200 CZK for a nigth is OK. Super pattiserie, with excellent cakes and coffee. ||||- Old-style, non-comfortable furniture, worn-out room on the whole. Bathroom wasn't renovated from the 70's, but the biggest problem was that there is no really hot water and water pressure. There was also an example of a dreary yellow water flowing from the shower. The furniture was dusty in patches, the carpet was stained. Dust-bin is only in the bathroom (1 piece), without rubbish bag which isn't so hygienic. Few plugs in the room., so you have to unplug television to have free plug for your notebook and you have to charge your phone in the other side of the room - you have no plug near the bed (Not ideal room if you need to work). There is a level difference between the hallway and the bedroom, and bedroom and living room (it's dangerous not to turn on the light when going to the bathroom or to table at night). No AC. Hazelnuts in minibar were out of date, bottles of drinks were dirty. Deficit of darkening curtains (I need dark for sleeoing...) No elevator, it's hard to get to your room upstairs with luggage. The maid didn't wash the glass not even once.There is no safe in the room.

A huge plus for me is silence at night, which is difficult in Europe where church bells ring all night long. I had a horrid experience at another Telc small Hôtel because of this problem last year. This time my room - 9 - had a panoramic view of the square which was gorgeous. Yes, the furniture is very dated but it works. It’s a simple place, breakfast is likewise very simple. But, friendly and clean. Parking temporarily right outside the hotel while you unload or load. Inexpensive overnight parking not far away.

Spent one night at Telc hotel, Rm 3 last X'mas holidays. The decoration of the room (standard room) was quite out of date which made me feel like staying at the undergraduate dormitory. That's ok and can be a unique experience if you think from a different point of view. However, the room is so freezing even after we asked staff to turn on the heater. Duvet felt damp. There was no kettle to boil hot water. After slept one night, I caught a cold. I don't ask too much but a hotel should at least let its guests sleep at reasonable room temp.

A lovely old building, with updated facilities, as well as a covered parking area for bicycles. The location was right in the town square and easy access to shops and restaurants. The breakfast was good.

I had the cutest room with white baroque wood headboard, dresser and chair. The window faced the beautiful square with flower boxes outside and windows that opened for fresh morning air. There was a fresh egg breakfast, cherry tomatoes, nuts, but not a big selection of breakfast foods. There was an in-room fridge, lots of thirsty towels.

Location: 10/10 at the main square Staff: 10/10 friendly & helpful Cleaniness: 10/10 Room: 7/10 a bit aged Breakfast: 8/10 standard Central parking is in walking distance. Bonus: Private garden Home-made cakes are sold in a nice cafe that belongs to the hotel.
