Frequently asked questions

Answers to common questions about parking, the pool, breakfast, dogs, check-in, buses, cancellation and payment at Hotel Pod Skalkou, Český Krumlov.

Where can I park in Český Krumlov?

With us. Every room has its own free parking space in our gated grounds. The historic centre is closed to cars and the town car parks are full and pay-and-display in high season. Leave your car for the whole stay and walk into the centre in 5 minutes.

How far is it to the centre and the castle?

Náměstí Svornosti (Svornosti Square) is about a 5-minute walk away (approx. 300 m), and the castle around 12 minutes. And there's no dragging suitcases over the old town's cobblestones – you park right by your room.

How far is the bus station?

Český Krumlov's main bus station (AN) is about 300 m away – a 5-minute walk. The Špičák stop is even closer, around 4 minutes. Direct RegioJet and FlixBus coaches from Prague take about 3 hours.

Do you have a pool? Is it heated?

Yes. There's a covered, heated 7.5 × 3.5 m pool in the garden. It's open in season, usually from May to September depending on the weather, and free for guests. There's no lifeguard, and children must be supervised by an adult.

Is breakfast included?

With double rooms, yes – it's a buffet served from 8:00 to 10:00. The apartments have their own kitchen, and breakfast can be added for €9 per person.

Can I bring my dog?

Yes, dogs are very welcome. The fee is 375 CZK (€15) per dog per night. Please let us know about your dog in advance, in your booking or by email.

What are the check-in and check-out times?

Check-in is from 14:30 to 24:00, and check-out is by 11:00. If you're arriving later, we can arrange self check-in.

What is your cancellation policy?

When you book direct, you can cancel free of charge up to 7 days before arrival. Bookings of three or more rooms are subject to individual terms.

How can I pay?

Online by card through a secure payment gateway, or on site in cash (CZK or EUR), by card in CZK or by bank transfer. City tax is already included in the price when you book direct.

Do you have air conditioning?

Yes, air conditioning can be ordered for 300 CZK (€12) per night. Thanks to the garden and the green hills around us, the rooms stay pleasant even in summer, and a fan is also available.

Is there a lift?

No, both villas have stairs only. If you'd rather avoid stairs, choose a ground-floor room – nos. 1 and 2 are almost step-free, and room 8 and apartment 9 are also on the ground floor.

Do you have family-friendly rooms?

Yes. Family apartment no. 10 sleeps 4–5, apartment no. 7 up to 4, and we can add an extra bed to rooms 1, 2, 5 and 6. A baby cot is free. Children love the garden and the pool.

Why book direct rather than on Booking.com?

Booking direct gets you the best price, city tax included, a guaranteed parking space, free cancellation up to 7 days before arrival – and you deal with us directly.

Can I store a bike or a canoe with you?

Yes, we keep bikes in a lockable store. If you're canoeing the Vltava, we're happy to recommend a rental company with transfers.

Which day trips do you recommend nearby?

The castle and castle gardens, canoeing the Vltava, Zlatá Koruna Monastery, Kleť with its lookout tower, Holašovice (UNESCO), Rožmberk Castle and Lipno with its Treetop Walk. You'll find more tips in the Day trips section.
