Located in the midst of the Bohemian Paradise on a rock formation, the family-run Hotel Štekl - Hrubá Skála offers rooms in a castle-style building with free WiFi right next to the Hrubá Skála Castle....

There is a lot to like about this place: the location right next to the entrance of the Bohemian paradise (do try the Mouse Hole entrance right across the car park; it's one of the best parts of the reserve), the very, very friendly staff, the breakfast buffet being-as-it-should-be, the area, and ... the terrace at the castle next door.
Also the hotel itself has this HerculePoirot-like atmosphere - which is very inspiring.
Surrounded by woods, 10 minutes’ drive from Turnov, Zámecký Hotel Hrubá Skála is a former castle from the 14th century and offers stylish rooms, and a restaurant.

Pretty cottage in a small village very close to the castle of Hruba Skala. We had access to a living room, kitchen, two bedrooms and a cellar containing local wines. There was also a big garden outside. IT would be a lovely place for a family to spend a relaxing week walking the local paths and visiting castles.

- breakfast really worth it!
- both owners really took care of us
- comfortable room and beds.
- good value for money
Lovely countryside and very photogenic.
Not much commercial activity and definitely not for anyone wanting nightlife.
There is a wellness centre at the hotel but we didn't use it so cannot comment.

The area is absolutely stunning and quite rightly called the Bohemian Paradise. Loads of routes for long hikes as well as casual walks. The views are breathtaking and the nature wild and beautiful.
On the other hand it does go a bit dead off-season. You will need to pack a snack and cancel the hopes for having a nice draft pint halfway to your set destination. Also, the public transport will be very limited so either plan ahead or prepare your muscles. Unless you drive, leave your wheeley suitcase at home and get yourself a hiking backpack!

Excellent place to start trekking in Česky Raj.
Excellent place to start trekking in Česky Raj. Close to other trekking locations as Mala Skala or Prochovske Skaly. A lot of castles/remains around. Trekking routes are available for all ages- children and elderly people

The breakfast was amazing, access to hiking with kids and car based trips around the area was great.Lots of great places to see!
The mattress choice was poor. Shared bathrooms for boys need some maintenance.
A beautiful cottage close to Hruba Skala. The cottage is absolutely beautiful inside and has everything you need oven, stove and a great little wood burner. The beds are very comfortable, sleeping is a dream here. There is a big grill outside for barbecues. Other cottages are around but you hardly notice them or hear them. Many places around are perfect for hikes and walks. Nearby there's also a traditional Czech restaurant. The owner is great and will do everything for you to make your stay comfortable. Great trip!
Spacious, comfortable apartment with all amenities and the possibility of various extras such as laundry. Nice quiet location not far from Hruba Skala castle, with a beautiful footpath beginning right nearby. Near a convenience store, a bit worse for restaurants within short walking distance but there are some (didn’t try them though). Nice hosts too. If you need cash you need to prepare in advance of arrival as there doesn’t seem to be any ATM within walking distance
Amazing location with direct access to the must sees areas in Hruba Skala. Available free parking for hotel guests & very friendly staff. We also ate in the restaurant & were positively surprised. It was delicious!
Beware that it’s a hotel where they kept the traditional retro style, but we found it charming & it gave a special touch to the place.
Spectacular views from the upper floors and from the courtyard near the restaurant. Beautiful atmosphere. The hotel is right next to a forest with lots of good hiking trails. Restaurant had traditional czech food throughout the day. Staff were kind and helpful; we had to change rooms in the beginning and they accommodated us well.

The room and the unique location of the hotel were great! It was clean and the staff was also ok. But the other facilities, namely the restaurant, were not what you'd expect from such a place. The meal was not great and the breaskfast buffet was adequate, not very good.
Hotel is a very romantic site, actually more of a castle than the nearby castle itself. Rooms are clean and nicely repaired. All the place is very decent and a spirit of "good old times" is all around. Staff is friendly and a safe parking place is included.
we loved it ! we were only a night there. beautiful apartment, very comfortable beds, good wifi. the host was very nice and helpful. gave us very good tips about hiking around hruba skala. we are very greatful for that! definitely recommend!
The castle is beautiful, located in the middle of Czech Paradise. The room was very clean and spacious. Breakfast was okay. The hotel also has a sauna which is great after a day spent hiking. The view from the terrace is incredible.
Location was outstanding and the view from our room wonderful. There was easy access to hiking some of the most beautiful trails in the Cesky Raj region. The breakfast was plentiful, and the terrace restaurant was excellent.
Stara Skola is just gorgeous. Right at the end of a small village, away from the noice of civilisation. The area of Cesky Raj is like something straight out of a fairy tale…. just beautiful:)
Convenient and classy location to explore Hrubá Skála from. Outstanding staff, especially at reception. Beautiful area, and the view from the room is incredible.
