Penzion Pod Lesem

Very helpful homemade, excellent Czech cuisine, including options for vegetarians. The breakfast was accompanied by a fresh homemade cake or strudel. Billiards can be made at any time to make your room in a decent room.

We have been returning to Pod Lesem for several years. The rooms are pleasant and clean. The staff will always meet. In the garden you can grill, sit and children have a trampoline and a climbing frame. The location of the pension is ideal - there is peace and yet all the places of interest are easily accessible.

Pension Pod Lesem has met our expectations. I drove with my adult son and two dogs to this area not to sit in the guest house but to make trips to the beautiful surroundings. Because we do not own a car, it was absolutely unique location of the train station (about 200m from the pension), which connected us with the Teplice-Adršpach skalami.Pokoje clean in size absolutely sufficient, toilet, shower, television with many programs in the room, Wi-fi connection , a fridge and teapot available on the floor, ... Breakfast from my point of view excellent, unpeeled, a buffet - everyone chose. Although the pension is near the road, but cleverly separated by a hedge with traffic..much small..for the owner of the car, this is perhaps rather a benefit.A doggie ... I had no problem-in the guest house and close to them to the guide (they are people who are afraid of dogs, but I was shown a place where I can go with them is "walk out" - outside the area and the road (about 30 m from the house), where it was ok.One to be aware that when your dog with you all day is flying around the tour, he does not need to run around the house after returning. The owners were very helpful to us and kindly - I would say beyond their job duties. The only damage to this guesthouse - is not cooked here. Fortunately, 500 meters away is the "pub", where it is delicious, great wine, good beer ... special atmosphere. Me and my son would come back here :-)

I liked the Pension Pod Lesem, it was quiet, clean, just everything as it should be. Maybe just a little bit - you can't connect to a WiFi network here, but maybe it makes sense, the peace of mind that could be disturbed by the connection

The guesthouse is basically an inhospitable remodeled barn where the rooms are plasterboard so bad that you can hear everything from the rooms around. The shower is made of a washbasin, the toilet does not fit into the bathroom, and the hot water in the boiler is for one. The stairs to the first floor, where all the rooms are, are also very romantic, they can be compared to the exit to Everest (not seriously, they are very steep and dangerous, I doubt that the building has the appropriate approval for the operation of the pension). Breakfast is not much (salami, cheese, butter, bun, jam, musli, corn flakes, boiled egg, fruit, vegetables, yogurt + what the house has put) - but can be eaten, and the quantity is not looking, so you can tease how much you can take. Dinner is some "specialty" lady, for whom she counts 130kč, but do not expect any chart, rather go somewhere. I was also surprised that we were charged 150kč for renting a fireplace, a sausage fork and providing a small box of wood. In conclusion, we received neither an invoice nor any receipt for anything, which gives me the impression that it is the blackness I report to the authorities. Nobody will ever see me back there .........

We were in the pension at the beginning of August for a week with four other families with children. The pension is really close to Adršpach and Teplice rocks and from the outside it looks really nice. But that ends the list of positive things. Before arrival, we wrote to the owner, if there are towels and bath towels in place, and the strict answer "they are" reassured us that we do not have to pack towels and bath towels. However, we did not find any upon arrival, so a phone call followed from the owner and she promised to deliver towels. After a while, the not-so-pleasant caretaker came, pulled small towels as soft as a grater from the closet, and gave them to everyone. When asked if we would get the towels as well, we were told that there were no towels. Upon arrival in the kitchen, we were greeted by a non-functional dishwasher with the words that previous visitors broke it (you can find a review of previous visitors here, it was a little different with the dishwasher) and that the new dishwasher will be on Tuesday (we arrived on Saturday). On Tuesday, the dishwasher arrived, but only wrapped under the stairs and no one came to engage it until the end of the stay. That wouldn't be such a problem, but hey, there were no tea towels in the kitchen and no dishwashing detergent. So there was another phone call from the owner to see if she could put tea towels in the kitchen. I will forever remember the sentence "Sir, this is a cottage, there are no towels!". There are no tea towels in a fully equipped kitchen without a functional dishwasher! So we had to get in the car and go to Trutnov to buy detergent, sponges and towels. Another problem turned out to be advertised WiFi in all rooms. In reality, WiFi worked only in part of the cottage, some rooms were completely without signal. In addition, it did not work upon arrival due to poor connection. When we repaired the connection, it always went out after a few hours and it was necessary to restart the WiFi router. The rooms themselves are relatively small, dark and you can only dream of soundproofing. From the next room you can easily listen to the conversations of the neighbors, turning on the bed and other sounds. The common room is without windows, lit only through one small glass door. There is also a billiards table. So, a pool table, a set of balls, some of which are no longer completely round, because they have chipped pieces and a total of 4 cues, of which only one has a tip and even that is practically useless. It would probably be better not to advertise billiards at all. Outside the cottage is a trampoline for children. Unfortunately, the protective collar for the springs disappeared somewhere, so the first day one of the children got a nice blow to the head with an uncovered metal structure. The outdoor sandpit is practically empty, there is about one children's bucket of sand. Overall, the level of accommodation does not correspond to the advertised condition and in combination with the approach of the owner and administrator, I can not evaluate in any positive way.

One of the worst accommodations we've been to, and we're not too demanding. Of course the nature and trips around wonderful, but the accommodation terrible. First of all, the unpleasant behavior of the administrator. He advised that he would come to us to do the laundry once after the previous guests (although it is written in the description of the cottage that we will be alone in the building). In the end, he went to the cottage almost every day, for the last time he didn't even bother to say hello, and without a word he took something from the floor. In particular, the lower apartment was cold, untidy, carpet full of dirt, the bedroom was even mold and the sheets smelled. Advised towels were only here and there in some room. Kitchen almost unequipped, bathroom and toilet dirty, hot water ran out after a few showers. We did not use the bathtub as recommended, because there is waste from the washing machine (it was still so dirty that we did not use it). In the second kitchen, the dishwasher broke down the next day, which the owner promised to deliver a new one immediately, which of course did not happen (at least they did not charge us for the water, which we used to use enough for the dishes). In addition, after a cursory inspection, the administrator stated that we turn on the dishwasher for the wrong program and for too long (classic Eco program for 2 hours, nothing that would destroy the dishwasher;)). He claimed that the dishwasher was 15 years old, and the owner was 3 years old. The recreation fee was also charged to an absent family who did not arrive due to illness. Only one of the four cues is functional for billiards, the balls are already chipped, they have their best years behind them. The children's trampoline lacked spring protection, the sandbox lacked sand. The building no longer functions as a guest house, it is rented as private accommodation, however, the sign still announces the Pension Pod lesem and the sign with the beer brand promises refreshments, so sometimes passers-by stop here and ask for lunch. The building is not fenced and is right on the road - not suitable for families with small children and a dog. Otherwise the garden is nice, quiet around.
