The Grand Hotel Zvon is probably in one of the best locations in all of Budweis. You can do practically everything on foot and there are lots of small shops that are ideal for shopping, as you can buy a lot of things very cheaply here.
The Zvon is of course not a 5* hotel as you might imagine, and apart from the hotel and the rooms it wouldn't even reach 4 stars. The breakfast, which you can enjoy in a very nice large hall, is mediocre to good. There are parking facilities in the hotel, a little difficult, which cannot be avoided, as the cars have to be transported to the first floor with a car lift. Parking is expensive by Czech standards, but still cheaper than on the street in front of the hotel, where parking times are limited everywhere. The restaurant, old and furnished like it was 50 years ago, is very good and the prices are very reasonable. We went there twice and were not disappointed.
On our next visit to Budweis we will stay at the Zvon again, even if we have to accept a few minor sacrifices.
