We only stayed one night , but would happily stay here for a longer stay. The location in the forest is amazing, and the hotel itself is absolutely oozing charm. Beds were comfortable, the room was spotlessly clean, and prices were very reasonable.

This place is located in the middle of a forest, around 25-minute walk from the downtown but it is worth it. We spent one night here. The rooms are quite small but very cozy and the bed mattress is firm and comfortable. Both room and the bathroom were very clean. The towels were very soft which is not common for hotels.
The only bit of a disappointment was the breakfast for us. They do offer you freshly made scrambled eggs, but if you don't go for this option, the breakfast is very poor. In case you have any dietary restrictions, e.g. gluten-free or lactose intolerant, you basically won't be able to eat anything there. We haven't tried the local restaurant that everyone praises so can't talk about the food served during the day but I have to say it smelled really good when we passed by.
We have spent only one night at Koliba so I can’t insist that my review is 100 percent objective. Anyway, the hotel had been selected basing on the previous reviews so we were a little disappointed. It doesn’t mean at all that the hotel is poor: absolutely no! The only issue was a gap between the expectations and the reality.
So, point by point. The room was pretty small and too narrow for 2 of us. The beds were same narrow and the pillows were too soft so I had to fold it to sleep more less comfortable. There are no hooks for the coats in the corridor and for the towels in the bathroom that was really a new experience for me.
Meanwhile, let’s come to the positive moments. First of all it is a location: even it is only 10-15 minutes walking time from the Zlin downtown, it is situated in a real forest so you will always sleep well and nothing can disturb you at night. Second, are the exterior and the interior of the building: it is a real country house with a lovely restaurant that has an open fire place where they definitely cook something local in the evenings.
The breakfast looked pretty poor at the first glance but then we got the outstanding fried eggs with fried bacon and that was delicious! Frankly speaking, it has almost compensated the narrow room and the too soft pillows.
There is a small free parking in front of the hotel so, if you travel with car, don’t worry about that.
Zlin is truly a place of marvel! This tiny Moravian town was the centre which Tomas Bata created....a true utopia for the working man and his family way back before the second world war. Such a forward thinking place even today! Though this pension hav been around for decades, it was renovated some years back and they did just a marvellous job! Its a real vintage hunters lodge. Right on top on the hill indie the woods...lovely view of the town as well as a great place for walks as well. Its actually quite popular with the ZLin locals as well and there is no wonder why...the food is simply FANTASTIC! The menu is high class, the service magnificent, smiling faces friendly staff and simply an amazing cook. Have been there several times over many years and each time...the food....oh my! Wonderful! The typical Sour sausage and cabbage soup or even Fois Gras or Roast Veal....delicious! Even our doggy was welcome to stay! Wifi superb, modern toilets, just cozy! Parking on the site as well.Very Very nice!
To be fair, it is the middle of a heatwave which is no one's fault, but to not even have a fan in the room is bordering on dangerous! It was so so hot. The heat from the fire in the restaurant made the whole place like a sauna. I have to say to anyone booked here for their stay whilst having treatment at ivf zlin, think very carefully about whether this is the place for you. In winter months I imagine this place is an absolute delight. The staff were kind, the restaurant served delicious food and the setting of the hotel exceeded our expectations.
It was simply too hot to bear. We had to cancel our upcoming 2 more nights there. Such a shame, and no discredit meant to the hotel or staff.
Great hotel in the small forest are of zlin very nice & different, we stayed her with our family for 2 nights . Great breakfast selection staff very helpful rooms & bit small but not a problem as we were two couples .
