Krumlov Tower is the memorable choice, a guesthouse in a historic tower at Pivovarská 28, in the Latrán quarter on the river side of the castle. Guests love its medieval feel and its location, with the Latrán houses three minutes away, the castle five and the Schiele Art Centrum about eleven minutes on foot. Rooms include a double room and two suites that sleep up to five, with sound-insulated walls, minibars, a kettle, a desk and a terrace to share. Breakfast is available for a charge, and a delivered breakfast on the patio gets praise. It is on the same street as the historic brewery, so a beer tour is next door.
Location and getting around
Latrán is the part of town between the castle and the river, a little quieter than Svornosti Square, and it is a five-minute walk to the castle gate. The Inner Town centre is across the bridge. Cars cannot freely enter the old town, and parking is listed for a nightly fee, though a guest reported no on-site parking and using a public lot next door, so confirm before arrival.
Rooms and facilities
The suites sleep up to five, which suits families or small groups, and the double room suits couples. The rooms are in a historic tower, so expect character rather than hotel polish. There is no kitchen, no air conditioning and no reception. Check-in is by lockbox code or messaging with the owner, and arrival times matter, so tell the host when you will arrive. Breakfast is a paid extra.
Good to know
The river location can bring some noise, and several guests have reported slow-draining showers or limited hot water, so mention any issue on arrival. Rooms can be chilly in December, so ask about heating. Check-in runs from the afternoon to midnight and check-out is at 11:00. It suits couples, small groups and travellers who like unusual places and are comfortable with a self-service stay. If you want a front desk, restaurant and spa, choose one of the hotels instead.
