Hotel.
We were going to KV for the first time, we didn’t know the hotel base at all. Many thanks to everyone who helped me in a difficult choice.
We arrived in Ambiente at about 10 o'clock, the room was still being cleaned, we were offered to go up to the medical center for now.
Daniela, a wonderful nurse, met us at the center, entered our data into the database, and made an appointment with the doctor. I immediately liked the medical center - clean, comfortable, modern. Orchids, sofas for relaxing, a cooler (someone complained that there was none), very friendly and helpful staff.

After that, we walked to the source of Vrzhidlo, located literally nearby.
We got a room in the second building on the 5th (4th) floor, from the windows there was a beautiful view of Karlovy Vary and the Cathedral of St. Mary Magdalene. An "ambush" with beds was immediately discovered - there were two of them, but they were so shifted and twisted that they were, in fact, one rookery. I traveled with my mother, 68 years old, the two of us in the same, practically, bed were not particularly comfortable. Also not pleased with the cramped shower. The rest was not bad - linen, towels and bathrobes are white and clean, the furniture allows you to place all things, a new LCD TV, creams, shampoos, cotton swabs, slippers, the woolen carpet is clean and not worn. Perhaps there are rooms with a larger bathroom, but we decided not to bother and stay in this room, given what we knew about the construction going on in the main building. The maids cleaned well, they were not lazy.
The doctor Antonin Pektor, an attentive elderly doctor, took me in, asked in detail, read the tests, suggested all the procedures that we planned for ourselves after reading the forums. The cost of treatment includes one main procedure per day and two additional, gas injections, as I understand it, no one thinks, take as much as you want, in addition to the procedures. What I didn’t like is that there are no procedures either on the day of arrival or on the day of departure, i. e. one paid day of treatment is lost. But, unlike other Karlovy Vary sanatoriums, there are procedures on Saturday and Sunday.
They prescribed: general massage, reflex foot massage, apparatus lymphatic drainage, parafango, magnetotherapy, pearl and carbonic baths, dry CO, floating, gas injections. I liked everything, everything came up, except for the magnets, after which my heart ached. The drinking regime prescribed by the doctor also came up immediately.
The masseurs are professionals, they work conscientiously, it is better to go to the men (Volodymyr and Slavek).

Gas injections are given by both nurses and a female doctor, the doctor's hand is lighter: ) the procedure, after all, is very painful.
You can get to the medical center from both buildings without going outside.
Restaurant. At the first visit, we were very surprised that the doctor suggested to my mother (with her high sugar) to eat from the general table, without diet and restrictions, since we found many tasty and completely non-dietary dishes there. I came across very different opinions about the cuisine in Ambient, I will write my personal one - I really liked it. Venison, rabbit in cream, salmon, cod with cumin, pork and beef, fried cheese, tuna salads, mozzarella, for lovers always - buckwheat, oatmeal, semolina. I can’t say that all this happened at the same time : ), but you could always choose something tasty and something lighter on the table. Sometimes there were snacks, such as eggs with flying fish roe or puff pastries with meat, sometimes they made desserts from pumpkin with nuts and raisins. A large number of fresh fruits - kiwi, peaches, nectarines, apples, bananas, pears, plums, melon, pineapple, grapes. On the salad table there are always fresh tomatoes and cucumbers, olives and black olives, iceberg or arugula salads, and besides, vinaigrette and Russian salad : ))) We also liked the service in the restaurant, the waitresses worked quickly and were polite and helpful , chef Matas (special thanks to him! ) always made sure that there were enough dishes and they were hot. The dishes are clean, tablecloths and napkins are snow-white and starched. From all the windows of the restaurant you have a beautiful view of the cathedral, very nice. Tea can be taken during breakfast for free, at lunch and dinner - for money (30 crowns), you can buy any drinks at the bar, they serve good French wine (60 crowns per glass).
Birthday. It was my mother's birthday, a delegation from the cook and accompanying persons came to our room with a present from the hotel - a small bottle of champagne, a large fruit basket and a greeting card from the hotel. Guys, thank you very much! it is always pleasant to receive unexpected congratulations, and it is doubly important for an elderly person!

Apologies. As I already wrote, the hotel is building a swimming pool. For several days it was very noisy - impact drills were working and a truck crane was breaking out the wall. For those who lived in that building, it was probably sad. The administration, as an apology for the noise, offered some activities. At the time of our stay, there was a free trip to the pool, a free excursion to Dresden, some procedures were free of charge (for those who had not paid for the treatment). We went to Dresden and had a good time. But the noise didn't really bother us. If we lived "above the drills", Dresden would hardly console us : )
In general, the hotel left the most pleasant impressions. I think when they open the pool there, it will be, in general, great.
P. S. Free Wi-Fi at the reception and in the cafe, it also catches partially in the medical center and restaurant. In the cafe, vacationers leave books, there is a little in Russian.
Karlovy Vary and health. I did not expect such a stunning effect from the treatment! Mom has a duodenal ulcer, second-degree diabetes, arthrosis. In two weeks, the knee stopped hurting, which simply interfered with walking normally, sugar "fell" to normal, despite the fact that my mother "came off" there for croissants, sausages, potatoes - all that she never eats at home. The doctor turned out to be right - taking mineral water allows you to do without a special diet. Sugar continued to decline for some time after our return home.
The city itself is just amazing! And in architecture, and in nature, and in atmosphere. It's very nice to be there. I am sure that we will come to HF more than once, probably in Ambiente (we will just take singles), and we will bring the rest of our family members, friends and neighbors : ))))
