Let's start with trying to define what this hotel is trying to be.
There are off brand Italian supercars in a showroom at the entrance to the main parking area, the building is abstract and an interesting piece of architecture and the insides are lined with strange geometric pieces of contemporary art.
The main lobby is a strange mix of traditional hotel & art gallery, with matching amounts of wasted space and bare concrete. The whole thing feels somewhat unfinished.
The positives were the staff. Very friendly and professional. At both reception and breakfast.
First negative was a 1000czk surcharge for a dog. This is not pet friendly and an absolute scam.
Moving to the room, I booked a "deluxe double with balcony", and immediately upon entering was disappointed.
A bare room with an old conservatively sized TV, minimal decorations and a sink intruding into the main floor space beside the bed. This would not be out of place with a little kitchenette, however in a standard room, it should have no place.
The bathroom equates a jail cell. A tiny shower head, no sink (as this is inconveniently placed in the room instead) and worst of all what I at first believed to be polished concrete walls and flooring turned out at touch to be made of plastic.
The whole bathroom, just a small enclosure of plastic without a sink, without even a mirror and a cheap shower fitting.
What's left to say about the main room, one single chair, made purely of plastic, resembles something my grandmother would have placed in her garden 50 years ago.
The bed has two barely large enough duvets that not only have the feel of sandpaper, but also seem to be filled with nothing but air. In a double, it should have a single large duvet. Absolute bottom of the barrel cost cutting here.
The pillows are a pair of tiny (genuinely too small to support a baby's head) and massive (too large to use) ones. Useless for a good night's rest.
The view out of the balcony was spectacular.
Shower gels were the standard cheap, chemical filled ones you find in a 2 star hotel.
I don't know who thought it was a good idea to appeal to a high end market, put the effort into building such a fantastic structure, pick the best staff and location, only to let the whole experience fall short by cheaping out on the fundamentals which make a hotel great: the rooms.
