Lazy River Hostel is located in Loket, Czech Republic in the western part of the country (West Bohemia). We are about 2 1/2 hours west of Prague. Loket is one of the Czech Republic's most picturesque towns. Nestled within a sharp bend in the River Ohre, the tiny medieval village is dominated by its magnificent castle (Hrad Loket) and surrounded by the lush hills of the Slavkov Forest (Slavkovksy Les).
Our hostel is very small. At the moment our total capacity is only twelve beds! We offer a friendly and very laid-back environment with a helpful English-speaking staff and lots of information about the area area and things to do here. The hostel is located in an historic building right below the castle and about one minute from the town square. We have a large common room, bright and clean rooms, balcony, great kitchen facilities, laundry service, small library, and an easy-going atmospehere.
In the summer (and winter) there are lots of nice hiking trails to explore, operas and concerts in the outdoor theater, with stunning views of the castle, good day trips to go on, a cool castle to explore, and lots of opportunities to just chill out. In addition, Karlovy Vary (Czech Republic's most famous spa town) is only minutes away by bus.
In the winter Loket is usually covered in snow and is a great place to spend the holidays or take a break from your trip. This time of year we usually go snowboarding/skiing at least 2-3 times a week at a nearby ski resort, depending on snow conditions. Guests are welcome to come along and equipment rentals and lessons are available at the ski center.
So call ahead and make a reservation and we look forward to meeting you soon!
