To begin with, compared to the main contingent vacationing in the "Imperial" (actually, as in all Karlovy Vary) - we are relatively young tourists - slightly over 30 : -). But it so happened that the time has come for us to drink some water - for some for the purpose of treatment, for some for the purpose of prevention (so that later it would not be too late to drink "Borjomi" : -)). I would not like to repeat the previous praiseworthy reviews, but in fairness, I must say that the hotel exceeded all our expectations - architecture, room, service, medical facilities - everything is at the highest level. And the bed was changed for us every 3 days (I was surprised to read that people were changed 1 time in 10 days), and there were almost no problems with the time of the procedures (having figured it out, for 3 days they began to walk on them in the way that was convenient for us - basically the medical staff went for a meeting, except for a massage - everything is clearly on time there, because, indeed, in the breaks between official massage sessions, men earn 400 "left" kroons). I don’t know, maybe with age we will choose more procedures, but so far even 3 procedures a day have been tiring - in terms of the fact that you are tied to the hotel and cannot escape to freedom-nature at any time : -).
But in any case - after lunch we were free and active rest began - almost all the resort "paths" of the highest and medium degree of difficulty (of which there are many in Karlovy Vary) were passed. Forests of inconceivable beauty surround the city from all sides - and what they just don’t have: mushrooms, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries... ! I think in autumn the locals go for mushrooms with braids! Even if in August we dried porcini mushrooms on the windowsill of the "Imperial" (at the same time, we did not specifically go for mushrooms) !! ! : -)) We went on a tour to Dresden (a city of amazing beauty), and to Prague, Marianske Lazne, Pilsen and other local towns - we went ourselves. Buses No. 2 and No. 13, which give the right to non-free travel for vacationers from the Imperial, go to the Trzhnice stop (something like that) - and there 5 minutes to the bus and railway station.
In short, our daily walks took a lot of energy - so the nightlife of Karlovy Vary remained unknown to us (and is it there ??? ) - but after an evening trip to the pool with a sauna and a jacuzzi (we went for an hour to 7 - it was only 2 -3 people) had enough strength for cocktails in the cafe "Vienna" or the club "Imperial". The undoubted advantage of the hotel is the provision of free Wi-Fi Internet access - however, the connection in the rooms was poor, but in the lobby and cafe - very decent.

For food, I put 4, although, to be honest, although for the first time in my life I ate dietary dishes (it’s easier for me not to eat at all, or to sit on fruits or kefir), but this is medical nutrition and most of us came, UNFORTUNATELY, to be treated - and from this point of view, the food was decent. I read in someone's reviews about tasteless pastries and I must disagree - the desserts seemed to me very tender. But a person who was assigned a strict diet No. 2, in the morning, apart from oatmeal, had nothing much to eat. Once a piece of wire was found in the bread and once there was mold on the plum cake. Little things - but the sediment remained. : -( How many I do not remember - this was not in any of the hotels in which we rested.
Rest in Karlovy Vary turned out to be very active, educational, health-improving and fabulous - thanks to the unique nature, friendly Czechs, and the royal "Imperial"!! !
