Stayed here while visiting Czech Republic but mainly Prague. A worthwhile lodging for sure. The staff are super friendly, speak multiple languages, are extremely helpful and caring. The price is great and surprisingly includes a filling breakfast. Wifi is provided and is fast and free. Melnik may not have much for the tourist but there are several sites nearby one can visit between travels elsewhere - the castle, the church, the ossuary, the wine cellars, etc. Restaurants are abundant and food is inexpensive and very appetizing. The view of the surrounding countryside from the castle area is wonderful.Public transport is a hop skip away as well as a shopping mall for snacks, foods, drinks etc. It is only 45 minutes to Prague by bus and metro and staying here certainly saved us many dollars when comparing to lodging and food costs in Prague itself. Take the time to visit here as well, the old city square is beautiful, and the castle has an excellent restaurant serving pastries, ice cream, chocolates and wines.
