Hotel Budweis
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Book it if you want the best-rated hotel among the six we compared, a short walk from the old town, and a breakfast guests rave about. Look elsewhere if price matters most or you plan to eat dinner at the hotel every night.

This is the Luxury pick among our three hotels in České Budějovice. It holds 4 official stars, a guest score of 8.9 out of 10 from 974 reviews and a location score of 9.8. Those numbers suit travellers who want to explore the old town on foot and return to a quiet base.
Breakfast fans should pay attention. Guests single out the buffet, with fresh options and hot dishes made to order. Pets appear in the property listing, but the conditions and any fee are not confirmed.
Skip it if price is your main filter: at about €136 a night it costs clearly more than our other two picks. It may also let you down if you count on the hotel restaurant for dinner, because guests say it is often closed for private events.
Location and getting around
The address is Mlýnská 6. Guests describe a quiet setting near the river, a short walk from the old town and the main square. The Black Tower is about 0.3 km away, roughly 4 minutes on foot, and the Cathedral of St Nicholas about 0.4 km, around 5 minutes.
These walking times are straight-line estimates, so real routes may take a little longer. Even so, the central sights are close enough that you will not need transport for them.
Hluboká Castle is another matter. It is about 8.6 km away, around 108 minutes on foot. That is far, so plan on public transport or a taxi. Parking is not listed in our data, so drivers should ask the hotel.
What guests say
With 974 reviews behind the 8.9 score, the picture is fairly stable. Two points stand out in the praise: the calm location near the river within easy reach of the centre, and a rich breakfast buffet with hot dishes cooked to order.
The main complaint is dining. Guests like the food and the stylish room, but report that the restaurant is often closed for private events or that service is slow.
Price and value against our other two picks
The reference price seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026, for 2 adults, was about €136 a night. It is not a live quote, so check today's price for your dates. The sample median was about €95.
Hotel Savoy, our Budget pick, came in at about €80.50 a night with a score of 8.2. Clarion Congress Hotel České Budějovice, the Best Value choice, was around €109.16 with a score of 8.7. All three hold 4 stars.
The extra cost here buys the highest guest score of the three and a 9.8 location rating. Listed facilities include free Wi-Fi, a restaurant, a terrace and air conditioning. Whether breakfast is included in your rate is not confirmed.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 6 eligible properties in the city, and this hotel shared the top review score position. For the Luxury slot, five-star hotels come first and a four-star fallback must score at least 8.5. At 8.9, Hotel Budweis clears that bar, and its location score backs it up.
