Hotel Ebersbach is a polished, small-scale hotel on Široká Street in the Inner Town, the stretch between the main square and the river that is quiet by day and calm at night. It carries a four-class rating and is one of the town's best-reviewed places to stay, with guests scoring its cleanliness and its location highly. The wellness offer is what sets it apart from many old-town addresses: there is a hot tub, a sauna and a spa, so a cold day when castle interiors are closed can still end with a proper soak. Rooms use hydromassage showers or deep soaking tubs, which suits couples who want a treat without paying for a grand hotel. A terrace and a coffee shop on site give you somewhere to sit when the weather allows.
Location and getting around
The hotel's street is just a few minutes from everything. The Egon Schiele Art Centrum is about two minutes away on foot, the Church of St. Vitus about three, and the castle gate about five. The wax museum and a pair of well-known local restaurants, including a riverside mill, are within a minute or two.
The historic centre is largely car-free, so you will walk from a car park outside the old town with your luggage, and parking is not mentioned as a feature of the property, so ask the hotel which lot to use before you arrive. There is an elevator, which is a real advantage in a town of stairs and uneven floors.
Rooms and facilities
Expect comfortable, modern rooms in a historic setting, with heating, a safe, hair dryers and free toiletries. The wellness area with hot tub, sauna and spa is the highlight, and a concierge, porter and room service make the stay feel a notch above a pension. The hotel offers a free buffet breakfast, included in the rate, and it also serves guests of a nearby annex, which tells you something about the quality of the operation.
Free WiFi, daily housekeeping, bicycle parking and an electric bike charging point suit travellers who explore the countryside on two wheels. Pets are not accepted apart from service animals.
Good to know
Check-in runs from the afternoon to early evening and there is no after-hours arrival, so tell the hotel your arrival time if you are coming by a late train or bus. Check-out is at 11:00. Some rates allow free cancellation, which is worth choosing when you are booking far ahead. The hotel is best for couples and for travellers who want a quiet, wellness-focused base within walking distance of the sights.
Families are welcome, but the hot tub and spa are an adult pleasure, and the rooms are not large. If you want a lively bar or a big restaurant on the doorstep, choose a main-square hotel; if you want sleep, a soak and an excellent breakfast, this is a strong choice.
