“Wonderful Stay!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 December 2011
2
people found this review helpful

I was in Ostrava to visit my son and knew he had stayed there himself and enjoyed it, so we booked in.
It isn't that far out of the main town, so easy to get back for shopping, trams run just up the road. I think in times past it would have been the major landowner in the area, but now it sits in a quiet area , our room overlooked a convent next door, and the church a little further on had a wonderful bell, not obtrusive at all, just comforting.
Our room was an attic room, with the beds on a raised platform, very comfortable matresses, excellent shower room, very well designed and in keeping with the age of the Chateau.
We ate in the dining room and there was no problem at all with me requiring gluten free foods, the chef catered specially for me, even down to making special bread rolls and a cheese filled roll for the breakfasts too. The meal was delicious, so much so I plan on attempting to recreate it at home!
My husband drank the chateau brewed beer, which he said was very like an English beer, but I preferred mine in the shower and hand wash dispensers in the room, the scent is nothing like beer, just a really clean fresh smell.
I can't recommend staying here enough, peaceful despite some traffic, a really nice atmosphere with lots of pictures and even a boar's head on one wall (I had no idea wild boar's were that enormous!). The hotel offers a beer jacuzzi and pampering but we didn't really have time to indulge.
Genuinely friendly staff too I'd say, nothing was too much trouble.
We stayed early December and the main town square was pedestrianised with a market and the scent of mulled wine and food everywhere, it certainly got us into the Christmas mood.
Shame the rating above only goes to 5 stars, for somewhere different to stay it deserves more...

“Romantic Getaway”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 November 2011

people found this review helpful

The owner made an unbelievable job on rebuilding a ruin and reviving the old spirit of a medieval castle. My husband and I spent several days here, enjoying the beautifully designed Manor room. The room as well as its bathroom was spacious, full of light, quiet and very comfortable.

The hotel has its own beer brewery with several types of beer. We tasted them all! And they were great. The cuisine of the restaurant was excellent, international and local specials. You will never do a mistake to organize a family or business party over there ( and do it long in advance for the nonsmoking restaurant, it tended to fill up quickly ).

We also enjoyed the beer spa with massage and unlimited beer tasting, which is ( comparing to other similar facilities in the Czech Republic ) spacious, private, relaxing and a lot of fun! The masseur was even able to get rid of my years lasting shoulder soreness, I highly recommend to you to book an extra massage.

Last but not least, the staff was very friendly and made a big effort to make our stay the most comfortable. Thank you so much!

“Zamek Zabreh is class all the way”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 July 2011

After having booked the Romance package at Chateau Zabreh we started to have doubts - why were we going to Ostrava? Will it be as nice as it looks? Is the beer bath just a gimmick? Was it worth the price?

While we can't say much about Ostrava (the Chateau is out of the central area which we never got to - it's in the south-west of the city) our stay at Zamek Zabreh was wonderful. Our room - Renaissance - was beautiful - with high wood beamed ceilings, one of the nicest wood-ceiling beds we've ever enjoyed, wonderful antique furniture, and nice paintings. The entire building was filled with period furniture - extremely well presented. The bathroom was large and bright, with a very large comfortable tub. The only thing missing was a nice view - the windows were large but overlooked what appeared to be a school playground - nothing bad but nothing memorable. In room Internet service was reliable and free parking is available on site.

We booked the Romance package, including a three-course beer or wine themed dinner and a beer or wine bath with massage. For 5,100 Czech Krowns this turned out to be a fantastic package/deal. The dinner was wonderful, duck as an appetizer and pheasant for my main course and a great fresh pasta dish for my wife (a vegetarian), each course accompanied by either beer or wine.

After a nice breakfast the next morning we enjoyed our beer bath (the whole bath is not entirely beer; a few pitchers are added to the water). How cool to be sitting in a bath with a beer tap right by your side - followed by our massages. Perfect.

Brewing was first recorded here in 1574. The Chateau is now the home of the PIKARD microbrewery. In addition to the restaurant, located in the vaults of the oldest part of the chateau, there is a cozy brewpub, and a large outdoor area, where one can enjoy traditional beer brewed on site.

Service was top notch, both at dinner and throughout the reservation process and at reception (thank you so much Zaneta).

If you find yourself in the Ostrava area, particularly on the weekend when you can take advantage of the Romance package and want to treat yourself a bit do yourself a favour and book into Zamek-Zabreh. We are very glad we did.

Room Tip: Perhaps others are as well but the Renaissance room was beautiful.

“Everything you need for some romantic days away from the world. Simply perfect!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 May 2011

Hello Everyone! To stay in this hotel was a really quick decision and I would say: love at first sight! You can check the photos on the hotel´s website but in reality it is even greater. Fantastic staff, delicious food, perfect and unique romantic moments.
My recommandations would be:
1. Book a room with fire place!
3. Book a relax package
2. Take enough time to spend in the hotel! You can simply just hang there: relax package, mini brewery, restaurant, whatever you need
4. Get a good book and switch off

But to put it in a nutshell: After my first stay I have decided to spend there a weekend every year
