I arrived here with a group, although the bookings were made by a third party the receptionist was total overwhelmed and seemed to be working to a different list to what we had been provided.
Once the room was issued I was pleasantly surprised by its spaciousness and comfort, not the impression gained by the stairs, lift or corridor.
We ate out at the restaurant in the castle which was very good with a bi lingual menu and a friendly waitress.
Breakfast at the hotel was ok apart from the awful coffee, Ham and eggs were cooked to order in addition to the buffet breakfast.

This is my second time in this hotel while on a business trip. Location of the hotel is great and since I am doing cross country - there is a beautiful trail along the river with no cars traffic ( bicycles only ) . Rooms are clean and comfortable,wireless works better then in 5 stars hotels , service are unbelievable - I asked if they can do laundry ( which is more the reasonably priced and very well done ) and even I forgot to put some of my running shirts in a bag Robert Soukup Hotel manager of Hotel Bila ruze volunteered to deliver additional bag by himself so I don't have to waste my time and can get a breakfast which is needless to say always fresh and served in a timely manner.
I am highly recommend this hotel as best place to stay in Strakonice ! Regards Michael Orel

You could stay somewhere cheaper, eg by going to a motel just outside town. But if you want to be in the old town centre of Strakonice this is good value. Staff were very helpful and room was quiet, large and clean.
