Отдых и леченев в отеле Ессениус *** Rest and treatment in the hotel Jessenius ***

I stayed at the hotel in July 2008. Impressions from the rest: procedures - good; the staff is very attentive both in the balneo and at the reception and the maids clean conscientiously and daily, but this applies to the Czech staff, but the upbringing of Ukrainian women who serve at breakfasts and dinners does not stand up to criticism. What I didn't like was the food. Salads and salad dressings that are mixed with the leftovers of the previous day regardless of compatibility and taste and age. Buckwheat porridge, which floats in water (for breakfast) and oatmeal, which can only be cut with a knife - does not stand up to any criticism (neither taste, nor smell, nor salt... ) I had to eat a hard-boiled egg and take slices of boiled sausages, which I have not eaten at home for a very long time. It is impossible to eat. A separate note on hot drinks that Europe is so famous for - coffee clearly resembled a barley drink or very diluted low-grade coffee, and we did not get black or green tea during our two weeks of stay. They would put tea and coffee machines and vacationers for breakfast at least try normal coffee with a biscuit. Some fruit "Pickwicks", which we no longer sell since 2000, brewed in a large container, also do not stand up to criticism. So take tea with you (a single bag of black tea in a tea boutique costs 20 crowns), and coffee is well prepared in a cafe (from 25-70 crowns per cup). I do not advise you to pay for lunch on a ticket - you can perfectly dine with fresh trout in any cafe on the banks of the Tepla (160-200 kroons). I advise you to try the boar knee, but it is advisable to take one for two - the dish is very large (200-230 kroons) and it is difficult to eat it alone.
