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...
