Boutique Hotel Zikmundov

We were deciding for a long time whether to write a review, but we must. The way Zikmundov presents itself on the website and social media is very far from reality. When you arrive, you step out of your car next to horse manure from stables that are in close proximity to the accommodation, practically stuck right next to it. So, if you want to enjoy some time by the pool, not only do you have nowhere to lie down since there are only 4 sun loungers, which isn't enough at full capacity, and you don't want to lie on the grass where there are uncleaned droppings from who knows what, you also get a view of tractors carrying manure and stable employees. They market themselves as a perfect place where you're afforded maximum privacy and intimacy, but again, if you don't want to lock yourself in a small, stuffy room, you have nowhere to go. A trip to Buchlov, 30 minutes away by car, is about the only option. At full capacity, you essentially have nowhere to hide, no place to retreat, with overly curious other guests inquiring about your life. We really don't need that when we drive 4 hours for a private weekend getaway. Dinner was really great, yes, the staff was very kind, but cutting our fruit with the same hands they just smoked cigarettes with, which were quite smelly, was a bit too much for us. Breakfast was standard, but good. The room was smaller, nice & clean, however, the beds were separate, and one mattress was so worn out that it needs to be replaced.
