2015 Renovation

A guesthouse with centuries of history

The Dobré časy building dates from the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries. For generations it was home to families of fishermen, potters and joiners — and that atmosphere still runs through every corner of it.

Poděbrady is a spa town on the Elbe, about 50 km east of Prague, known for its mineral springs, its colonnade and its riverside parks. The guesthouse stands in the historic core of the town, right against the castle wall on the riverbank. The main square is only 200 m away, the spa colonnade a few minutes on foot, and the Elbe Cycle Route passes 50 m from the door.

A full renovation in 2015 created a house that combines its historic character with modern comfort: tastefully furnished rooms, some with their own terrace, views into the crowns of the castle garden, and free Wi-Fi throughout.

In the heart of
spa-town Poděbrady

Quiet by the castle,
the town within reach

The guesthouse sits in a quiet historic corner directly below Poděbrady Castle, right on the bank of the Elbe. In the morning you wake to nothing but the river and birdsong.

And yet you are only a few steps from the spa colonnade, the main square and the Elbe Cycle Route — the privacy of a centuries-old place with everything a spa town offers close at hand.
