BEST Hotel Garni
Simple, practical, close to the sports quarter
About this hotel
BEST Hotel Garni sits next to the Andruv stadium and the wider sports centre, around 500 metres from Olomouc's historic core, in the same general zone of the city that also holds the aquapark. It is a no-frills, two-star property rather than a boutique stay, and free WiFi covers the whole building. Mornings start with a rich buffet breakfast, and a restaurant serving Czech cuisine sits on site for evenings when a family does not want to go looking for dinner after a tiring day at the pools. For a trip built around minimising the distance between the room and the water rather than chasing boutique polish, this straightforward setup does the practical job well.
- Buffet breakfast
- Free WiFi
- Sports-quarter location
Our take
This suits a family whose Olomouc trip is really an aquapark trip with the old town as a bonus, prioritising a short return walk after pool sessions over room decor or extensive amenities. It suits less a family wanting a boutique stay or one centred on old-town proximity above all else.
- ✓Confirm the exact walking distance to the aquapark entrance at booking, since routes can add a few extra minutes.
- ✓Eat the included buffet breakfast before a full pool day rather than grabbing something quick on the way out.
- ✓Plan a dedicated old-town excursion on one day, since this property sits a little further from the historic centre.
Why we love it
- About 500 metres from the historic core

Why guests love itWe picked BEST Hotel Garni purely to cut the walk back after pool sessions, and it worked: our youngest could nap the moment we got in rather than dozing off on a tram. The buffet breakfast set everyone up well before a full day of slides, and the Czech restaurant covered more than one tired evening without needing to go back out into town.
